STATUS — what works, what's broken, what's next

Ready for Tester 2? Yes — tell the friend go (hand-over list: documentation/pilot/TESTER2-handover.md).

Updated 2026-10-23 (morning). Your three picks are built (the tunnel repairs itself with a new key, the hub skips a keyless deleted install, the controller repository stays public), and the night copy can no longer outlive the controller. Four fresh reviews found 34 points, every real one fixed or a row; the test night is running and its verdict lands here at 07:00. Nothing was released or deployed; the morning list has the order, and the DooPlex survey asks four questions (D32–D35).

What works

A box installs from nothing with the public installer, links to the hub, and moves to the floor by itself (map A1, A3, A4).
65 catalog apps install, update one tested step at a time, and a failed update undoes itself (map B1, B3, B4, B6).
Backups: database dumps, a second-drive copy, an off-site copy and whole-box copies; restore tests run by themselves (map C1–C4, A17, A18).
A restore brings an app back with its data and its database password; a failed or cut restore puts the app back as it was — off-site live, local on the test image (map C5, D6, D16).
After a power cut the box starts by itself, cleans up a half-written backup, and Immich repairs broken photos (map C10, F12).
A second drive is offered as the backup target; media apps see every drive; a one-disk box gets its own data area (map D1, D13, D15).
The three test boxes answer only over https; the hub's key opens nothing on a box; password guesses are counted (map E12, E13, E17).
The hub mails alarms and recoveries, and keeps one whole-box copy per week on ep0; CC uses its own limited token, not your password (map F1, F11, G15).

What is broken

P1: about 12 homelab logins still use a password that was public, and the public Gitea repo is not decided (R-925, yours).
Tester 2 is off since 2026-10-04: old emergency password, no off-site check, no bootstrap (R-1139, R-1104, R-862).
DooPlex: the failed disk is still in the box, its alarms silenced (R-934); something sets the shared checkout to „bare" (R-935).
The scratch box cannot use agent features (R-1083).

What we work on

Dated checks, run by CC. 2026-10-23: no app stop when the host is busy (R-1173). 2026-10-26: each hub daily job ran once on the clock-change day (R-1183). 2026-10-27: the weekly clean-up window (R-435; the logs of the last one were lost to restarts).

Waiting on you — decide

Newest first. CC's pick is in the „Pick" column. Each row also has its full text in the register.

#	Row	Question	Pick (why)	The other option costs	If you do nothing	Blocked
D36	R-1225, R-1226	Two website sentences before the publish: „8 GB runs the basics; the photo app needs 16 GB” and „what you open from outside the home passes Cloudflare's network, readable there; the backups leave only encrypted”?	Yes, both (the patch's own aim is the whole truth)	—	the patch publishes with both promises a little too strong	—
D35	R-1228	After the release week, serve the website and the installer from Cloudflare, like the ISO?	Yes, later (no new installs stop when DooPlex is down)	keep them home: after a DooPlex loss, no install until it is back	the same	—
D34	R-232	Copy the hub database to ep0 every 6 hours instead of every night?	Yes (0 €, about 30 minutes, one DooPlex change)	keep nightly: up to a day of hub changes lost, e.g. a new box's recovery package	the same	—
D33	R-1227	Copy the released images and agent packages to ep0 every night?	Yes (0 €, about 2 hours of CC, a few GB on ep0)	a timed rebuild drill instead: about 3 hours once, and rebuilt images are not the same	after a DooPlex loss no box updates, reinstalls or installs until everything is rebuilt	—
D32	R-923, R-924	Print the break-glass sheet now (eight keys and logins + ep0's fingerprint) and keep it outside the home?	Yes (30 minutes; nothing else opens the off-site copies after a loss)	an encrypted USB stick outside the home: ~10 €, 1 hour, one more passphrase	after a DooPlex loss no off-site copy opens	—
D9	R-1062	Split the N100's USB drive in two, for multi-drive tests?	No — keep one drive (the lived-in box keeps its nightly whole-box backup)	Split: the box loses its local whole-box backup, or you buy a second drive first	it stays one drive; multi-drive tests stay on Tester 1	—
D7	R-990, R-989	Rule on the forum ideas and the selfh.st ideas now, or park them?	Park them (P4; nothing waits on them)	Rule now: about one hour of reading	nothing changes; the research gets old	—

Waiting on you — do

Still needed? (yes/no) — CC could not check these. Answer yes or no per line.

Morning, 2026-10-23 — in this order.

Hold or go: The test night is running; its verdict lands here at 07:00. One question from the review: D31 as built also covers an install that got the whole-box password but no recovery package — its password is rotated without your press (R-1205). CC: go. If not: revert one hub commit before item 4.
Release controller 0.340.0 (main after tonight; tested as rc.8 on the scratch box, rc.6 on the test box): the safe night copy, the catch-up fix, R-49, R-1187, R-1189, R-1214. If not: these wait.
Release the agent (the tunnel repair, its tunnel field, the root-SSH bundle) and the installer tag with the root-SSH removal (R-1204, R-982); then vouch. If not: a clock-ahead box stays cut off; root keeps its password on the LAN.
Build and deploy hub 0.167.0 (D31, the tunnel alarm and its clearing). If not: a dead tunnel stays silent.
Publish the website patch (D3, D5), with D36's two sentences if yes. If not: the old wording stays.
On the hub's Hosts page: Discard appliance 49, and delete host Tester4-16fdef (tonight's test box). If not: two dead entries alarm.
The DooPlex hour: D32–D35 in the table. If not: a DooPlex loss stays as the survey describes. The rest

Pull the failed disk Z6A07P2G out of DooPlex (R-934). If not: its alarms return on 11 November. Since 2026-10-12.
Rotate the reused homelab logins and decide the Gitea repo's visibility (R-925, P1). Since 2026-10-09.
Two leftovers on DooPlex: the Facebook first-post/ folder in leftovers/2026-10-14/ (keep, commit or delete); the deny-list edit in homelab-manifests' .claude/settings.json (commit or drop). If not: they stay. Since 2026-10-14.
Before the first paying customer: Tandoor's permission (R-789); a lawyer for the licence list and the terms (R-802, R-813); SparkyFitness by e-mail (R-784); print the break-glass sheet and the signing keys (R-923, R-924).
Later (yours, not urgent): R-1229 (ArgoCD's sync settings into git), R-862 (Tester 2's bootstrap, when it is back), R-504, R-1071, R-1073, R-1077, R-1042, R-132, R-908, R-779, R-904, R-232, R-433, R-933, R-213, R-832, R-388, R-882, R-883, R-814, R-1056, R-1164, R-930, R-920, R-902.
