Confirmed live: install_frigate()'s fresh-install path overwrote a
working, hand-crafted docker-compose.yml (Frigate + mosquitto +
frigate-notify) with zero backup, because that file's shape didn't match
what frigate.sh's own "existing install" detection knew how to recognize.
Every service's own detection is a judgment call about what counts as
"already installed" and can miss a real setup built outside this repo's
conventions.
lib/common.sh gains backup_if_exists(FILE) — copies FILE to
FILE.bak.<timestamp> if it exists, no-ops otherwise (including DRY_RUN).
Applied before every service's own `cat > docker-compose.yml`/`cat > .env`
write across all 60 services that do one (115 call sites), plus a matching
standalone-mode stub added to every service's own bootstrap block, same
convention already used for port_in_use/find_free_port. This doesn't
replace a service's own update/fresh-reinstall detection — it's the safety
net underneath it, so a wrong detection costs a .bak file to restore from
instead of the original silently disappearing.
Also fixes the actual gap that surfaced this: services/frigate.sh's
Authelia offer only checked for Authelia installed locally on Frigate's
own box, which is never true for a dedicated NVR box with no local Caddy
either (the common shape — Caddy lives elsewhere, snippet-generation mode
already handles that). Now offers Authelia protection unconditionally and,
when Authelia isn't local, asks whether it lives on the same machine as
Caddy (still "import authelia", since that's local to wherever Caddy ends
up) or on a genuinely separate third machine (the explicit
header-pinned forward_auth form, per CLAUDE.md's "forward_auth to a remote
Authelia" note, needed because a bare authelia:9091 shortcut only works
one hop).
Same bug as the previous filebrowser/fmd fix: vaultwarden, immich,
audiobookshelf, homebox, rustdesk, emby, meshcentral, traccar, lyrion,
actualbudget, mealie, joplin, jellyfin, unifi, and ntfy all showed "Manage
that install (update / full reinstall / cancel)" when re-run against an
existing install, but choosing "1) Manage" fell straight through into the
same unconditional fresh-install flow every time regardless of choice —
no way to actually cancel or update in place. Wired all 15 up to
prompt_reinstall_mode, matching the reference pattern in
services/mattermost.sh: update pulls + restarts the existing container
without touching config, cancel leaves the install untouched, fresh falls
through to the existing full-install flow unchanged.
Also add `setup.sh --status`: a plain-text listing of every service with
its install state, using the exact same is_installed() calls the whiptail
checklist's [installed] marker uses. Exists so "is X actually installed"
can be answered by reading terminal output directly, without depending on
a whiptail checklist screen where a narrow/resized terminal can truncate
the "[installed]" suffix off-screen with no visible sign that happened.
With 70+ services sharing a handful of common default ports (emby and
jellyfin both default to 8096, changedetection and frigate both default
to 5000, arm and nextcloud both default to 8080...), nothing previously
checked whether a service's default port was actually free on the host.
Whichever service installed second would silently write a compose file
claiming an already-held port, only failing at `docker compose up` time.
Adds two shared helpers to lib/common.sh:
- port_in_use PORT [PROTO] — true if something's already listening
- find_free_port VARNAME START [PROTO] — scans upward, writes back the
first free port
Every service that publishes a fixed host port now scans before writing
docker-compose.yml, on every install (not just when adding an explicit
additional instance). On a normal single-install host this is a silent
no-op; it only changes behavior when something else already holds the
port.
- The 19 services already given multi-instance support this session had
their port scan moved out of the "add instance" branch to run
unconditionally, since the same collision risk exists on a plain first
install.
- 20 more services with previously-hardcoded ports gained scanning for
the first time: archivebox, arm, calibre-web, changedetection,
drum-rhythm-game, gatus, n8n, nextcloud, onlyoffice, stirling-pdf,
uptimekuma, portainer, iopaint (both GPU/CPU compose branches), koha
(paired), syncthing (paired), wg-easy (paired, plus WG_PORT env so
generated peer configs keep the right Endpoint), homeassistant
(bridge-mode only — host mode can only warn), frigate and
frigate-audio (multi-port stacks, moved together).
- caddy.sh is the deliberate exception: 80/443 stay fixed and only warn
on collision, since silently moving Caddy itself would leave nothing
listening where any client actually looks.
- authelia.sh needs no change — it has no published host port at all.
- Every service's standalone bootstrap fallback (sudo bash services/x.sh
with no sibling files) got the same two helpers duplicated into its
stub block, matching how every other shared helper is already handled
there.
Documents the full pattern in CLAUDE.md's new "Port collision avoidance"
section, including the quoted-heredoc/backtick-escaping gotcha and the
network_mode:host limitation (can only scan ports the app takes as a
configurable env var).
Verified via bash -n on every changed file, plus functional runs seeding
occupied ports for each collision shape used here (single, paired,
multi-port stacks) and confirming the scan/shift and generated
compose/README output are correct — including the emby/jellyfin,
nextcloud/arm, and frigate/changedetection collision scenarios that
originally motivated this.
Retrofits the standard multi-instance pattern (documented in CLAUDE.md)
onto actualbudget, filebrowser, fmd, homebox, immich, jellyfin, joplin,
lyrion, meshcentral, ntfy, rustdesk, unifi, and vaultwarden. First
instance of each keeps its original name/paths/ports unchanged; adding a
second instance prompts for a short name and auto-scans for free ports.
Service-specific handling beyond the base pattern:
- joplin, immich, unifi: dedicated Postgres/Mongo container per instance
(not shared), matching the backup-isolation reasoning in CLAUDE.md.
- meshcentral, unifi: multiple fixed ports scanned/shifted together so
they stay paired per instance.
- rustdesk: 6-port block shifted by a fixed offset per instance, since
the image hardcodes its internal ports with no per-port env override.
- jellyfin: DLNA/discovery UDP ports only published for the first
instance to avoid a host-wide fixed-port conflict.
- lyrion: first instance keeps network_mode: host (required for
Chromecast/Squeezebox broadcast discovery); additional instances fall
back to bridge networking with auto-scanned ports, trading away
zero-config discovery since a second container can't also bind host
networking's fixed ports.
- magicmirror.sh already had its own working multi-instance pattern
(upfront instance count, numbered subdirs) and was left as-is.
Verified via bash -n on every changed file, plus scripted functional
runs (fake docker/ss) exercising first + second instance installs for
every port-scanning shape used here (single, dual-paired, quad-paired,
block-offset) and confirming dedicated per-instance DB naming and the
lyrion host->bridge compose output.
traccar.sh's caddy_net wiring was fixed to mirror configure_caddy_for_service's
own mode resolution (CADDY_MODE from site config, then a local ~/docker/caddy,
then the legacy CADDY_REMOTE_HOST var) instead of only checking for the local
directory. That same bare directory check was copy-pasted into the caddy_net
wiring of every other Docker service in the repo, so a site with Caddy on a
different box would silently fail to join any of their containers to caddy_net
during setup (or, for homeassistant/koha, only get half the wiring right).
Applied the same fix mechanically across all 37 services using the standard
_CADDY_NET_BLOCK/_CADDY_NET_SECTION pattern (verified identical text via
scripted diff before touching any of them), plus by hand for:
- homeassistant.sh and koha.sh, which use their own differently-shaped
variables (HA_CADDY_NET_LINES / _CADDY_NET_ENTRY) for the same decision
- paintplus.sh and ai-stack.sh, which do a live `docker network connect`
instead of a compose network block
- watchyourlan.sh, whose Caddy note was worded for local-only setups
sms-inbound.sh got more than a mode swap: its Caddy wiring was hand-rolled
(not routed through configure_caddy_for_service) and had no remote-Caddy
path at all — a remote Caddy box would get a misleading "Caddy isn't
installed here" message instead of a snippet. Added
_sms_write_caddy_snippet(), mirroring the snippet-file pattern
configure_caddy_for_service uses everywhere else, and pointed the firewall
gate at the same three-way mode instead of a two-way dir check.
Verified: bash -n across all of services/*.sh, a scripted check that every
touched file has exactly one _CADDY_MODE resolution and no leftover bare
`[ -d "$DOCKER_DIR/caddy" ]` feeding a caddy_net decision, and spot-checked
docker compose config renders (traccar, mattermost) confirming the ${VAR}
interpolation and multi-service usage sites still resolve correctly.
- ntfy.sh: auth-default-access was deny-all, silently blocking both publish
and anonymous subscribe on every topic once an auth-file is present.
Default to read-write (same model as public ntfy.sh) so alerts from
crowdsec.sh/pstn-trunk.sh actually get delivered.
- crowdsec.sh: add update/fresh/cancel reinstall gating — reruns previously
re-asked every optional prompt (ASN exempt, geo-allowlist, ntfy, remote
LAPI) unconditionally with no way to just refresh in place.
- asterisk-digital-ocean.sh: add optional ntfy alerts on extension
registration going offline/online, checked every 2 minutes via systemd
timer (cron.d fallback), offered on both fresh install and update.
- security-dashboard.sh: replace the outbound-only Asterisk Web Admin link
with an embedded, lazy-loaded iframe tab, with a best-effort Caddy
frame-ancestors patch and an always-available "open in new tab" fallback.
New site config key: CADDY_REMOTE_HOST (set via 'sudo ./setup.sh configure').
When set, configure_caddy_for_service operates in "remote" mode instead of
writing to a local Caddyfile:
- Upstream uses CADDY_REMOTE_HOST:PORT (host IP, not container name)
- Snippet saved to ~/docker/caddy-snippets/<subdomain>.caddy
- User is shown scp/rsync commands to copy it to the Caddy machine
Three modes in configure_caddy_for_service (lib/common.sh and inline stubs):
local: ~/docker/caddy/ exists → write Caddyfile + reload (existing behavior)
remote: CADDY_REMOTE_HOST set → save snippet, print copy instructions
none: neither configured → silent return (unchanged)
All 31 service standalone bootstrap stubs updated with the new logic.
CADDY_REMOTE_HOST global added to all 42 standalone bootstrap sections.
setup.sh configure now prompts for CADDY_REMOTE_HOST with a clear explanation.
wolf.sh: add missing stubs (configure_caddy_for_service, write_readme,
prompt_yn, ensure_docker_dir_ownership) and the Authelia/Caddy/start calls
that were missing from the install function.
https://claude.ai/code/session_014CCYqVwW6d6f5dw1qRokYt
wg-easy: PASSWORD env var removed in v14+; generate bcrypt hash at install
time via 'docker run wg-easy wgpw' and write PASSWORD_HASH instead.
ntfy: write config/server.yml with base-url, cache-file, auth-file, and
behind-proxy:true so push notification links work when behind Caddy.
auth-default-access: deny-all (require topic auth).
mealie: BASE_URL was hardcoded to http://localhost:9925; email links and
OAuth redirects broke when served via Caddy. Now computed from SITE_DOMAIN
and written to .env so it's easy to update.
nextcloud: add OVERWRITEPROTOCOL=https, OVERWRITECLIURL, TRUSTED_PROXIES to
.env so share links and internal redirects use https:// behind Caddy.
onlyoffice: Caddy's default X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN header blocked
OnlyOffice from being embedded as an iframe in Nextcloud. Override it in
the Caddy site block to allow framing.
vaultwarden: remove exposed port 3012 (WebSocket — not needed since v1.29+,
all handled on port 80). Publish port 8888 for direct host access instead.
Remove WEBSOCKET_ENABLED=true (ignored in current versions).
https://claude.ai/code/session_014CCYqVwW6d6f5dw1qRokYt
Each service can now be run directly with sudo bash <service>.sh on any
machine with Docker installed, without needing the full post-install repo.
Uses the shared bootstrap pattern from docs/standalone-template.sh.
https://claude.ai/code/session_014CCYqVwW6d6f5dw1qRokYt
Undo the host.docker.internal approach from the previous commit — proper
Docker networking routes Caddy to services by container name on the shared
caddy_net, not via the host gateway.
- lib/common.sh: configure_caddy_for_service now accepts either a plain
port number (localhost:PORT fallback) or container:port (preferred).
The Caddyfile entry uses the container name for direct Docker DNS routing.
- services/caddy.sh: remove extra_hosts hack; update Caddyfile template
comments to show container_name:port format
- All service files: update configure_caddy_for_service calls to pass
container_name:internal_port (e.g. "filebrowser:80", "mealie:9000").
Services using network_mode:host keep plain port numbers.
- tools/manage_users.sh: new FileBrowser user-management script (deployed
to ~/docker/filebrowser/ during installation). Manages users via the
FileBrowser REST API: list, add, delete, passwd, scope, info commands.
Documents username format (letters/numbers/hyphens/underscores),
password rules (min 8 chars, letter + number required), and scope path
convention relative to /srv (= FB_PATH on the host).
https://claude.ai/code/session_01UZus2Q9gNTfUdqSMrhuX29
- lib/common.sh: fix broken reverse_proxy target — localhost inside Caddy's
container is the container's own loopback, not the host; change to
host.docker.internal so proxied ports are actually reachable
- services/caddy.sh: add extra_hosts host.docker.internal:host-gateway so
the above resolves correctly; create caddy_net bridge network in Caddy's
own compose so other services can reference it as external; update all
Caddyfile template comments and README examples to match
- services/filebrowser.sh: update image tag from deprecated :s6 to :latest;
remove non-functional PUID/PGID env vars (filebrowser/filebrowser does not
honour them); add configure_caddy_for_service call; add caddy_net
- services/ntfy.sh: add configure_caddy_for_service call; add caddy_net
- services/portainer.sh: add configure_caddy_for_service call; add caddy_net
- services/frigate-notify.sh, watchtower.sh: add caddy_net for
container-to-container comms (frigate, ntfy) without a Caddy call
- All remaining web-facing Docker services: add caddy_net network block to
docker-compose and CADDY_NET to .env where applicable; services using
network_mode: host (wolf-pair, lyrion) have the top-level block only
https://claude.ai/code/session_01UZus2Q9gNTfUdqSMrhuX29
Introduces a one-time configuration wizard (sudo ./setup.sh configure)
that stores SITE_TZ, SITE_DOMAIN, and SITE_CADDY_NET in ~/docker/.config.
Every service now uses these as prompt defaults so the user types common
values once instead of re-answering the same questions for each service.
- lib/common.sh: load_site_config / save_site_config; auto-loads on source;
backward-compat BASE_DOMAIN alias kept for old .config files
- setup.sh: run_site_configure wizard; first-run offer after base install;
`sudo ./setup.sh configure` command to update defaults at any time
- 14 services: TZ_VAL now honours SITE_TZ, falling back to /etc/timezone
- 3 inline-heredoc services (filebrowser, homeassistant, ntfy): same fix
- authelia: SITE_TZ/SITE_DOMAIN as prompt defaults; SITE_CADDY_NET replaces
hardcoded caddy_net throughout (env, compose patch, network creation)
- minecraft, frigate-audio: simplify BASE_DOMAIN read to use SITE_DOMAIN
- sky-cam: SITE_TZ as default for timezone prompt
https://claude.ai/code/session_01Y4dMKtkqkpvmgDKoRdzhTG
- lib/common.sh: add write_readme helper. Every module now writes a README.md
into its ~/docker/<service>/ folder (self-documenting service folders).
- services/authelia.sh: SSO + 2FA portal, ported from the authelia-setup repo +
the monolith's working block (secrets + Argon2 hash generation, caddy_net,
Caddyfile forward-auth snippet + portal block, README). Guards against
clobbering an existing install.
- services/{filebrowser,ntfy,uptimekuma,portainer,watchtower}.sh: mechanical
migrations from the monolith, each with a README. Ports 8085/8090/3001/9443/—.
All pass bash -n; ./setup.sh --list shows them under homelab; dry-run run-one
exits 0 for each with real commands guarded.
