Let the user choose Home Assistant's networking mode at install time in the
-crowdsec variants:
- Bridge (default): publishes port 8123, works behind Caddy, isolated.
- Host: shares the host network for LAN device auto-discovery (Cast, HomeKit,
mDNS/Zeroconf, some Zigbee/Z-Wave/Bluetooth).
The compose file is generated conditionally; both modes verified to produce
valid YAML, and both scripts pass 'bash -n' and a --dry-run --unattended pass.
https://claude.ai/code/session_017eA2qqq9jfF2tNtpUYL8vK
Add Home Assistant (home-automation hub, port 8123) to the -crowdsec scripts
for 24.04 and 26.04, following the existing service pattern (menu entry,
detection, defaults, parse, uninstall, install block, UFW rule, Caddy template).
- Image ghcr.io/home-assistant/home-assistant:stable, config volume, privileged
+ /run/dbus for hardware integrations; documents host-networking alternative
for full mDNS/device discovery.
- Pre-seeds config/configuration.yaml with default_config + http.trusted_proxies
(only on a fresh install) so HA works behind the Caddy reverse proxy without
the usual 400 'request from reverse proxy' error.
- Integrates with configure_caddy_for_service (subdomain 'home').
Added only to the -crowdsec tier (current tip); original and -no-keycloak
scripts stay frozen as the evolution record. Both variants pass 'bash -n' and a
--dry-run --unattended pass (exit 0), including with Home Assistant forced on.
https://claude.ai/code/session_017eA2qqq9jfF2tNtpUYL8vK
When configuring CrowdSec, optionally wire up an ntfy push notification via
CrowdSec's HTTP notification plugin: writes /etc/crowdsec/notifications/ntfy.yaml
and references it from the default profile in profiles.yaml. Alerts fire on a
ban decision (after repeated failed attempts), not on every failed login.
Document the behavior in SCRIPT-VARIANTS.md, including why Authelia (email-only)
doesn't cover failed-login push. Both crowdsec variants verified with 'bash -n'
and a --dry-run --unattended pass (exit 0).
https://claude.ai/code/session_017eA2qqq9jfF2tNtpUYL8vK
Provide three tiers of the install script for both 24.04 and 26.04:
- Originals (ubuntu-post-install-24.04.sh / -26.04.sh): restored to their
true original state, with Keycloak intact, as a fallback baseline. (This
reverts the in-place Keycloak removal from the previous commit; the cleanup
now lives in the -no-keycloak variants instead.)
- -no-keycloak.sh: Keycloak fully removed, Authelia as the SSO/2FA option.
- -crowdsec.sh: builds on -no-keycloak and replaces fail2ban entirely with
CrowdSec (SSH via auth.log/sshd collection, Caddy via caddy collection + log
acquisition, firewall bouncer for enforcement, plus geo-blocking and
community IP-reputation blocklists).
Add SCRIPT-VARIANTS.md documenting the three tiers and how the Authelia /
fail2ban / CrowdSec security layers differ.
All variants pass 'bash -n'.
https://claude.ai/code/session_017eA2qqq9jfF2tNtpUYL8vK
Keycloak never reliably ran (fiddly reverse-proxy/hostname config) and the
repo has standardized on Authelia for SSO + 2FA. This rips Keycloak out
entirely:
- Delete the install block, whiptail menu entry, uninstall plumbing, and
EXISTING_SERVICES detection from both 24.04 and 26.04 scripts
- Delete docker-compose-keycloak.yml, fix-keycloak-proxy.sh, and
KEYCLOAK-SETUP-GUIDE.md
- Remove the Keycloak block from caddy-setup-helper.sh
- Update docs (CADDY-FAIL2BAN-SETUP.md, SECURITY-IMPROVEMENTS.md,
NEW-SCRIPT-STRUCTURE.md, SCRIPT-FLOW-INTRO.txt) to reference Authelia
Also documents the fail2ban/Authelia overlap: Authelia handles failed-login
regulation (per-account lockout); the Caddy fail2ban jail is complementary
firewall-level IP banning. Neither does geo-blocking — noted CrowdSec / Caddy
GeoIP as the path for that.
https://claude.ai/code/session_017eA2qqq9jfF2tNtpUYL8vK
Authelia's installer auto-injects the (authelia) snippet and auth portal
block into the Caddyfile. Moving Caddy first means that injection works
in a single fresh install run without manual follow-up.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01FvqXSZyk3g7rUombwLcprZ
The working authelia-setup repo uses the Authelia 4.38+ password
hashing config format with a nested argon2 block and variant key.
The previous version used the old flat format which is rejected by
Authelia 4.39.20 validation. Fix both 24.04 and 26.04 scripts.
Before (broken):
password:
algorithm: argon2id
iterations: 3
...
After (correct for 4.38+):
password:
algorithm: argon2
argon2:
variant: argon2id
iterations: 3
...
https://claude.ai/code/session_01FvqXSZyk3g7rUombwLcprZ
- Rename ubuntu-post-install.sh → ubuntu-post-install-24.04.sh to match 26.04 naming convention
- Add --allow-server-ssh systemd override to 24.04 NetBird install (already in 26.04)
- Add full Authelia install block to 26.04 (matching what was added to 24.04)
- Whiptail menu, uninstall, detection, default vars, parse flags, install block
- Both scripts now identical in Authelia and NetBird SSH behavior
https://claude.ai/code/session_01FvqXSZyk3g7rUombwLcprZ
Ports the full working configuration from outis1one/authelia-setup:
- Authelia 4.39.20 on caddy_net with secrets via env var files
- Generates jwt/session/storage secrets with openssl at install time
- Prompts for domain, admin user, SMTP settings, timezone
- Generates argon2id password hash via Docker during install
- Writes configuration.yml, users.yml, docker-compose.yml, .env
- Auto-injects (authelia) snippet + auth portal block into Caddyfile
- Creates caddy_net Docker network if missing
- Adds Authelia to whiptail service menu, uninstall list, and detection
- Adds Authelia snippet as commented example in new Caddyfile template
https://claude.ai/code/session_01FvqXSZyk3g7rUombwLcprZ
Without --allow-server-ssh, NetBird prompts for re-authentication on
every SSH connection. This adds a systemd drop-in override at
/etc/systemd/system/netbird.service.d/ssh-server.conf so the flag
is set automatically on every boot without manual intervention.
https://claude.ai/code/session_017jFG5YuHf2CCGS5HiheoeM
NetBird v0.60.0 removed the built-in SSH server ('netbird ssh <peer-name>').
SSH now routes through standard openssh-server via a drop-in config at
/etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/99-netbird.conf on port 22022.
- Ensure openssh-server is installed and enabled when NetBird is selected
- Remove all 'netbird ssh <peer-name>' references
- Update instructions: connect via 'ssh user@<netbird-ip>' using netbird status
- Note the dashboard step: Peers > [peer] > SSH to enable per-peer SSH access
- Applied across install section, SSH summary, and next-steps section
https://claude.ai/code/session_017jFG5YuHf2CCGS5HiheoeM
Based on the 24.04 script with the following updates:
- Updated all version references from 24.04 to 26.04
- Fixed Tailscale APT repo from hardcoded 'jammy' to 'resolute' codename
(was a latent bug even on 24.04; jammy is 22.04)
- All other repos (Docker, Kopia, NodeSource) already use dynamic
VERSION_CODENAME detection and work as-is on 26.04
https://claude.ai/code/session_017jFG5YuHf2CCGS5HiheoeM
The Immich CLI uses the File global class which requires Node.js v20+.
The script previously fell back to apt install nodejs which gives v18 on
Ubuntu and fails with "ReferenceError: File is not defined".
Now checks the Node.js major version first. If < 20, offers to install
Node.js 22 LTS from NodeSource before proceeding.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01NAtxAkC5t6YVb3gcP1VcX8
- Update database image from deprecated tensorchord/pgvecto-rs:pg14-v0.2.0
to ghcr.io/immich-app/postgres:14-vectorchord0.4.3-pgvectors0.2.0
- Remove database command block (vectors.so) that blocks VectorChord from
loading — the new image handles shared_preload_libraries internally
- Remove bogus healthcheck using non-existent googlechecksum function
- Create required subdirectories (thumbs, upload, backups, library, profile,
encoded-video) with .immich marker files before first start — fixes
ENOENT crash on encoded-video/.immich
- Update Valkey from 8-bookworm to 9-bookworm
- Fix status output: show UPLOAD_LOCATION instead of unset PHOTOS_DIR
for external library strategy
https://claude.ai/code/session_01NAtxAkC5t6YVb3gcP1VcX8
The healthcheck test value contained "googlechecksum: $$Chksum"
which YAML interprets as a mapping separator (colon-space in an
unquoted scalar). This caused "mapping values are not allowed in
this context" on the command line below it.
Fixed by using >- block scalar for the healthcheck test and
multi-line array format for the postgres command, matching the
official Immich docker-compose format.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01NAtxAkC5t6YVb3gcP1VcX8
Three issues fixed:
1. SSH/VPN/Remote Desktop rerun detection: When services are already
configured, ask a single "Reconfigure?" question instead of
prompting through every individual service again.
2. Whiptail selection respected: When user selects specific services
in the whiptail menu, skip all unrelated sections (linux-to-sync,
Caddy Legacy, Kopia, local backup, cloud backup, UFW) instead of
prompting for each one.
3. Import-photos.sh reminder: Clarify that import-photos.sh should
be run AFTER the main setup script completes, not during.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01NAtxAkC5t6YVb3gcP1VcX8
- apt upgrade at end of script now prompts (default: no) instead of
running unconditionally. This prevents unwanted package upgrades
when running the script just to install a new service.
- Immich setup: ask "existing photos?" first (default: no) so fresh
installs only get one path question. Strategy choice and path prompts
now only appear when relevant to the chosen strategy.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01NAtxAkC5t6YVb3gcP1VcX8
The user should decide *what* they want (import vs external library)
before being asked *where* their photos are. The "what" frames the
context for the "where" question.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01NAtxAkC5t6YVb3gcP1VcX8
The import-photos.sh script creates the admin account via API, so
"Open browser and create admin account" is no longer needed for the
import path. Post-setup is now just:
Import path (Strategy 1 + existing photos):
"Run ~/docker/immich/import-photos.sh" — one step, no browser
External library path (Strategy 2):
Still requires web UI for library creation (3 steps)
No existing photos:
Still requires web UI for storage template (2 steps)
https://claude.ai/code/session_01NAtxAkC5t6YVb3gcP1VcX8
The import-photos.sh helper script now handles the entire setup flow
without requiring any manual web UI interaction:
1. Checks if Immich is initialized via /api/server/config
2. If uninitialized: creates admin account via /api/auth/admin-sign-up
(prompts for email, password, name)
3. If already initialized: prompts for existing credentials
4. Logs in via /api/auth/login to get bearer token
5. Creates API key via /api/api-keys automatically
6. Configures storage template via /api/system-config (PUT)
7. Installs immich-cli (checks immich → npx → npm → offers apt install)
8. Runs recursive upload with EXIF date preservation
Also accepts an API key as argument to skip account setup for re-runs.
Fixes:
- Removed -f flag from curl calls that suppressed error details
- Fixed $? check after login (now uses if ! command pattern)
- Variable naming collision (INSTALL_NODE → INSTALL_NODE_YN)
- Post-setup instructions now just say "run the import script"
instead of listing manual steps
https://claude.ai/code/session_01NAtxAkC5t6YVb3gcP1VcX8
When Strategy 1 (unified library) is chosen with existing photos, the
setup now generates an import-photos.sh script that automates the entire
import process:
- Verifies Immich is running (API health check)
- Prompts for API key with validation
- Configures the storage template via API automatically (uses python3
for JSON manipulation, falls back to manual instructions)
- Installs immich-cli via npx if Node.js available, offers to install
Node.js if not
- Runs the upload with --recursive from the baked-in source path
- Shows photo count and progress
Also:
- Ask where existing photos currently live (separate from library path)
- Use that path for both the external library mount (Strategy 2) and
the import script source (Strategy 1)
- Post-setup instructions reduced to 3 steps: create account, get API
key, run import script
- .env comments reference the import script instead of raw CLI commands
https://claude.ai/code/session_01NAtxAkC5t6YVb3gcP1VcX8
Replace the confusing two-prompt (upload/external) configuration with a
cohesive strategy-based flow:
- One question for photo library path instead of two separate prompts
- Ask if user has existing photos, then present two clear strategies:
[1] Import everything into Immich (unified library, recommended)
[2] Keep existing photos in place (external library, read-only)
- Generate strategy-specific docker-compose.yml (no unused external
mount when not needed)
- Strategy-specific .env files with relevant instructions only
- Fix nesting issue: external library uploads now go to sibling dir
instead of subfolder (prevents duplicate scan)
- Unified post-setup instructions that match chosen strategy
https://claude.ai/code/session_01NAtxAkC5t6YVb3gcP1VcX8
- Check for existing .env file instead of extracting from docker-compose
- Replace KC_PROXY with KC_PROXY_HEADERS in .env
- Add KC_PROXY_HEADERS if missing
- Remove KC_PROXY from docker-compose.yml if present
- Show current configuration before restart
- Handles both migration scenarios:
1. Old config with KC_PROXY in .env
2. Existing .env without proxy settings
- Replace deprecated KC_PROXY=edge with KC_PROXY_HEADERS=xforwarded
- Fixes 'Hostname v1 options [proxy] are still in use' warning
- Convert docker-compose-keycloak.yml to use .env file
- Remove hardcoded passwords from docker-compose.yml
- Add comprehensive .env template in comments
- Update deployment instructions and production checklist
- Resolves CORS and secure context warnings
- All credentials now in .env with proper security
This comprehensive update addresses multiple security and usability issues:
## Docker Directory Ownership
- Added ensure_docker_dir_ownership() helper function
- Applied to ALL 25+ services (Immich, Keycloak, ActualBudget, Jellyfin,
Emby, ARM, FileBrowser, MagicMirror, Lyrion, Mealie, Minecraft, Frigate,
ntfy, Uptime Kuma, wg-easy, Traccar, Portainer, MeshCentral, FindMyDevice,
Frigate-Notify, Watchtower, Kopia, Caddy)
- Fixed disaster recovery path (line 309) to set ownership
- Docker folders now owned by sudo user, not root
- Users can run docker commands without sudo
## Keycloak Security Improvements
- Implemented password validation with retry loop
- Password requirements: 12+ chars, alphanumeric only (no special chars)
- Auto-generate secure passwords by pressing ENTER
- Moved all credentials to .env file (no passwords in docker-compose.yml)
- Added production vs development mode selection
- Production mode uses 'start' command with hostname configuration
- Development mode uses 'start-dev' for testing only
- Proper KC_HOSTNAME configuration for public deployments
- Interactive prompts with clear security warnings
## Environment Variable Management
- ActualBudget now uses .env file for configuration
- Keycloak uses .env for admin and database passwords
- Consistent .env pattern across services
- Passwords no longer visible in docker-compose files
- Easier credential management and rotation
## Helper Functions
- ensure_docker_dir_ownership(): Fix ownership recursively
- generate_password(): Generate secure alphanumeric passwords
- validate_password(): Validate Keycloak-compatible passwords
## Documentation
- Added SECURITY-IMPROVEMENTS.md with comprehensive guide
- Password requirements and best practices
- Keycloak setup guide for ActualBudget on Pikapods
- Migration guide for existing services
- Troubleshooting section
- Verification checklist
## Integration Status
- Caddy2 reverse proxy: Already integrated via configure_caddy_for_service()
- fail2ban monitoring: Already configured with labels on all services
- HTTPS and security headers: Already implemented
- JSON logging for fail2ban: Already configured
All services now follow consistent patterns for ownership, credentials,
and security configuration. Script tested with bash -n for syntax errors.
MAJOR IMPROVEMENT: Drive detection now happens ONCE at startup and
is reused by all services, instead of each service detecting separately.
1. **New detect_drives() Function:**
- Runs once before service selection menu
- Scans ~/drives directory for all mounted drives
- Shows drive name, path, size, used space, available space
- Sets global variables for all services to use
2. **Global Variables Set:**
- PRIMARY_DRIVE: name of first drive (e.g., "storage1")
- PRIMARY_DRIVE_PATH: full path to first drive
- DRIVES_DETECTED: true/false
- DRIVES_DIR: base drives directory
- AVAILABLE_DRIVES_COUNT: number of drives
3. **Display Example:**
```
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
DETECTED DRIVES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✓ storage1
Path: /home/user/drives/storage1
Size: 2.0T (Used: 800G, Available: 1.2T)
✓ backup
Path: /home/user/drives/backup
Size: 4.0T (Used: 1.5T, Available: 2.5T)
Using 'storage1' as primary drive for default paths
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
```
4. **Updated Services to Use Global Detection:**
- Immich: photos/immich-uploads
- AudioBookshelf: audiobooks
- Emby: media
- Jellyfin: media
- ARM: ripped
- FileBrowser: (root browse)
- LMS: music
5. **Benefits:**
- Detect drives only once (faster)
- Consistent paths across all services
- Shows actual drive information (size, usage)
- Falls back to $HOME if no ~/drives exists
- All services use PRIMARY_DRIVE_PATH variable
This fixes user complaint:
"There is no ~/drives.... it should detect which drives are already
in ~/drives and offer to use one of those"
- Added check_service_exists() to ARM (Automatic Ripping Machine)
- Added check_service_exists() to FileBrowser
- Both now show Skip/Reconfigure/Restart options
- Prevents accidental overwrite of existing configurations
Progress: 5/24 services complete (Immich, AudioBookshelf, Emby, ARM, FileBrowser)
1. **Created check_service_exists() Helper Function:**
- Reusable function to check if service exists
- Shows options: Skip / Reconfigure / Restart
- Handles backup automatically on reconfigure
- Returns boolean flag to control installation flow
- Reduces code duplication across services
2. **Applied Reconfigure Fix to Services:**
- Immich (with drive detection)
- AudioBookshelf
- Emby
3. **How It Works:**
```bash
check_service_exists "ServiceName" "$SERVICE_DIR" RECONFIGURE_FLAG
if [ "$RECONFIGURE_FLAG" = "true" ]; then
# Only run configuration if true
fi
```
4. **Benefits:**
- Consistent behavior across all services
- Automatic backup before any changes
- Safe default (Skip) protects existing configs
- Easy to apply to remaining services
Next: Apply to remaining 20+ services (ActualBudget, Mealie, Jellyfin, etc.)
CRITICAL FIX: Script was reinstalling and reconfiguring services from scratch
when they were already installed, potentially breaking existing configurations.
1. **Detect Existing Installations:**
- Check for existing docker-compose.yml before configuration
- Show options: Skip / Reconfigure / Restart only
- Default to Skip to preserve existing configs
2. **Skip/Reconfigure/Restart Options:**
- Option 1: Skip (keep existing configuration)
- Option 2: Reconfigure (backup existing, then reconfigure)
- Option 3: Restart containers only (no reconfiguration)
3. **Automatic Backup on Reconfigure:**
- Creates timestamped backup before any changes
- Backup location: ~/docker/backups/YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-servicename/
- Full service directory backed up
4. **Fixed Drive Detection:**
- Detects existing ~/drives directory
- Lists all available drives to user
- Uses detected drives in default paths
- Changed from $HOME_DIR to $ACTUAL_HOME for correct paths
- No more missing "/drives/primary/..." paths
5. **Drive Path Examples:**
- Detects: ~/drives/storage1, ~/drives/backup, ~/drives/media
- Shows: "Detected drives: storage1, backup, media"
- Default becomes: ~/drives/storage1/photos/immich-uploads
Applied to: Immich (template for other services)
This fixes user issues:
- "I selected keep the items that were already installed, then it lead
me to reinstall configure from scratch all those services"
- "It did not detect if the service was already in the Caddyfile"
- "it might have messed up what I already had"
- "There is no ~/drives...."
- "it should detect which drives are already in ~/drives and offer to
use one of those"
Implemented automatic Caddy reverse proxy configuration that runs
BEFORE each service is started, with backup, reload, and formatting.
1. **New configure_caddy_for_service() Function:**
- Detects if Caddy is installed (skips if not)
- Prompts user if they want to configure reverse proxy
- Asks for domain/subdomain (e.g., photos.example.com)
- Backs up Caddyfile with timestamp
- Checks for existing configuration and offers to overwrite
- Adds service block with security headers and fail2ban logging
- Reloads Caddy configuration
- Formats Caddyfile with `caddy fmt --overwrite`
- Final reload after formatting
- Shows final access URL (https://...)
2. **Configuration Sequence:**
- Service docker-compose.yml created
- Service .env configured
- Caddy configuration added (if Caddy installed)
- Caddy reloaded and formatted
- Service containers started
- All happens before `docker compose up -d`
3. **Integrated into Services:**
- Immich (photos.example.com)
- AudioBookshelf (audiobooks.example.com)
- Emby (emby.example.com)
- ActualBudget (budget.example.com)
- Mealie (recipes.example.com)
- Jellyfin (jellyfin.example.com)
- Uptime Kuma (uptime.example.com)
4. **Caddy Configuration Includes:**
- Automatic HTTPS via Let's Encrypt
- Security headers (HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, etc.)
- JSON logging for fail2ban
- Proper reverse_proxy to localhost:PORT
5. **Backup & Safety:**
- Caddyfile backed up to: Caddyfile.backup.YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS
- Existing configs detected and user can choose to overwrite
- Reload errors show backup file path for restoration
6. **Commands Used:**
- `docker exec caddy caddy reload --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile`
- `docker exec caddy caddy fmt --overwrite /etc/caddy/Caddyfile`
This addresses user request:
"new/reconfigured services are add to the Caddyfile as part of the
install/reconfigure before they are attempt to be brought up, as a
part of the install/reconfigure of the service? (With backup of
Caddyfile and docker exec -w /etc/caddy caddy caddy reload &&
docker exec -w /etc/caddy caddy caddy fmt --overwrite after each
addition to Caddyfile?)"
Added comprehensive uninstall functionality to whiptail menu:
1. **Install/Uninstall Menu Choice:**
- Added action menu: Install new services, Uninstall existing, or Cancel
- Automatically detects existing services in ~/docker/
2. **Smart Service Detection:**
- Scans for existing Docker services and marks them in the install menu
- Install menu shows [*] for already-installed services
- Helps users identify what's already running on their server
3. **Uninstall Functionality:**
- Uninstall menu only shows services that are currently installed
- All services selected by default for quick removal
- Automatic backup before uninstall to ~/docker/backups/
- Stops containers, removes directories, backs up data
- Special handling for system packages (fail2ban)
4. **Improved Re-run Support:**
- Script detects existing installations on startup
- Can rerun on configured servers to add new services
- Uninstall option allows cleanup of unwanted services
- Backups ensure data safety during removals
Services Supported:
- All 24 Docker services (Immich, Keycloak, Caddy, etc.)
- System packages (fail2ban)
- Backups created with timestamp: YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-servicename
Usage Examples:
- Fresh install: Select services to install
- Add services: Rerun script, existing services auto-selected
- Remove services: Choose "Uninstall", select what to remove
- Cleanup: All data backed up automatically
This addresses user request for:
- Ability to reinstall on current server
- Option to remove services from whiptail menu
- Better handling of existing installations
Added planning documents for future script reorganization:
NEW-SCRIPT-STRUCTURE.md:
- Outlines two-phase structure (Essential Setup vs Service Selection)
- Documents plan to move optional services to whiptail menu
- Plans for uninstall functionality
- Re-run detection improvements
SCRIPT-FLOW-INTRO.txt:
- Proposed intro text for users
- Explains Phase 1 (required) and Phase 2 (optional)
- Documents re-running behavior
These are planning documents for future enhancements.
Current commit only implements the duplicate prompt fix.
