Engineering Log - 2026-02-09

09:00 - Jellyfin Deployment

  • Deployed media_jellyfin on Risa-Mediacore using network_mode: host.
  • Configured /dev/dri mapping for Intel QSV.
  • Modified encoding.xml to enable HEVC and HDR tone mapping.
  • Issue: Recursive permission changes on /mnt/vault/media locked out Plex.

11:00 - MediaManager (Discovery) Setup

  • Established sandbox on Holodeck-Lab (.11) for testing.
  • Troubleshot monolithic image issues; confirmed UI is bundled in quay.io/maxdorninger/mediamanager:master.
  • Identified root redirect to /web/ as the cause of "blank page" reports.

14:00 - SSL & Gateway Troubleshooting

  • Encountered persistent ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR and 502/504 loops.
  • Resolution: Consolidated all SSL termination to the Oracle VPS gateway.
  • Unified the internal gateway (gateway_caddy on Risa) to handle HTTP traffic forwarded from Oracle.
  • Cleaned up "Gateway Online" interceptors on Memory-Alpha and Risa.

16:00 - Permission & Library Recovery

  • Plex reported missing media.
  • Root Cause: UID/GID mismatch and loss of +x bits during recursive cleanup.
  • Fix: Recursively applied chown vivianl:media and chmod 2775 to the entire media library.
  • Verified visibility inside the Plex container (abc:abc mapping).

18:00 - Automation Audit

  • Verified PBS backups for Risa and Starfleet.
  • Confirmed Paperless AI document processing is fully autonomous.
  • Fixed SSH bridge from Memory-Alpha to Holodeck-Lab by installing authorized keys.

Final State

The fleet is synchronized under a single SSL point. All media services (Plex, Jellyfin, MediaManager) are operational.
