Engineering Log - 2026-02-19

Status: ๐ŸŸข Production Stable

๐Ÿ›  Starfleet-Compute Restoration

  • Reboot Recovery: Manual power cycle confirmed successful. Node 192.168.1.35 is responsive.
  • Memory Management: Identified that Ollama requests up to 15.9GB RAM for standard Llama 3.2 3B models due to context window overhead (128k).
  • Optimization: Configured OLLAMA_KEEP_ALIVE=5m to ensure prompt RAM release.
  • Services: Paperless-ngx and Arr-stack (Radarr/Sonarr/Prowlarr) verified operational.

๐Ÿงน Project Decommissioning & Purge

  • Agent-Zero: Purged failing service and all associated documentation.
  • OpenClaw AI (Complete Purge):
    • Decision made to decommission local LXC 160 due to high RAM overhead.
    • Container stopped and registry entries removed.
    • External Purge: Removed openclaw.the-lal.net from Oracle-VPS and Risa Caddyfiles.
    • Auth Purge: Excised SSO rules from Authelia configuration on Starfleet.
    • Storage Purge: Deleted /mnt/vault/sandbox/openclaw.

๐Ÿง  AI Infrastructure Optimization

  • enai Router: Optimized classification logic and switched internal categorization to Gemma 2 (2B). Reduced routing latency from 253s to 7s.
  • Model Hydration: Restored missing phi3:mini (CPU optimized) and nomic-embed-text (RAG) models to Ollama on Starfleet.
  • Thermals: Identified 103ยฐC CPU spikes. Configured macfanctld with "Smart-Auto" curve (2000 RPM idle, 80ยฐC ceiling) for silent operation with thermal protection.

๐ŸŽฌ Media & Connectivity Fixes

  • Plex Connection: Resolved "Plex Pass" prompts by forcing external clients to port 443 via customConnections and Oracle reverse proxy.
  • Transcoding: Disabled phantom Hardware Acceleration flags in Preferences.xml to prevent unauthorized feature prompts.

๐Ÿ›ก Infrastructure & Planning

  • Project Firebird: Drafted docs/projects/gpu_refit_proxmox.md for upcoming AMD RX 580 installation on Proxmox.
  • Memory-Alpha: Masked zramswap.service to clear persistent systemd failure states.
  • Network: Verified DNS resolution through Pi-hole (192.168.1.21) for all nodes.

Sign-off: ๐Ÿงฌ Discovery/Science Core Offline. Tactical Core active.
