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

Updated 2026-09-28 afternoon. Both demo boxes run controller 0.278.0 and host agent 0.137.0. Hub 0.125.0. New installs get golden 0.276.0 with agent 0.137.0.

Decisions I took on my own (you may reverse each):

1. claper goes to PostgreSQL 17, calcom to 18. Each follows what its own makers run: claper's makers use 15, so 17 (no disk-layout change); calcom's makers use 18.
2. calcom gets 1536 MB of memory instead of 768 MB. At 768 MB it was killed at every start, so it could never run. At 1536 MB its own use peaked at about half.

What I did, and it worked.

• The weekly golden is built and vouched (0.276.0, with host agent 0.137.0). A test install in the throwaway machine came up on it with the right versions. The test customer is removed from the hub.
• "Use my kept data" can now load the database from the off-site copy. Proven on the HP box: the page named "the off-site copy, 2026-09-28 15:40", the app came back with its account and its files.
• The first real restore from the off-site copy worked. Account back, a later change gone (as it must be), same version.
• Two more apps can move to a new database version: claper and calcom. Each passed the throwaway test machine and the scratch box.
• One more fix (controller 0.278.0): a "stopped" mark from an app's earlier install no longer sticks to a new install. On the HP box such a mark from 13 September made the backup skip a freshly installed app. That app had no real backup at all. This is my second controller release today; the rules say one. It blocked the off-site proof, and nothing in the product could clear the mark.
• The HP box's night: the database step ran, paperless moved to PostgreSQL 18 by itself (all rows equal), then the full-system backup ran. Nothing had to wait for anything.

What broke, or is not done.

• claper creates an admin account with the public password "claper" on every install. Anyone who knows that could log in. No box runs claper now. I did not change it; you choose the fix (below).
• The HP box's full-system restore test still cannot run. Freeing space gave 26.6 GB; it needs 31 GB. It refuses safely, and the hub sees each refusal.
• The demo-felhom box's off-site step of last night is not readable (today's upgrades erased the logs). Not a fault seen; just not read.
• Small gaps filed: removing an app with its backups leaves its 1 GB off-site check copy; there is no button to run the whole night now.

Rows. 5 opened, 2 closed. The list went from 337 to 342 rows.

What needs you.

1. The claper admin password: (A) remove claper from the catalog until it is fixed (I recommend this), or (B) have the box change that password after install. If you do nothing, a new claper install keeps the public password.
2. The HP box's restore test: (A) let the test use the big NVMe disk (I recommend this; it has 880 GB free), or (B) accept that this small box cannot test it. If you do nothing, it refuses every 6 hours.
3. D4 (what a restore brings back when the backup is older): A stays in force. Nobody is blocked.
4. The image-copy question (a maker deletes an old version): if you do nothing, nothing changes.
5. From before: Peti's box in the project text; Peti's Cloudflare leftovers; the old Storage Box. If you do nothing, they stay.
