+# Stack Automation Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+The `update-stack.sh` script enables programmatic stack updates via Portainer's REST API. This allows LLM agents (like Claude) and automation scripts to safely update Portainer stacks without requiring UI access.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Navigate to stacks directory
+cd /home/jpmschweitzer/Projects/portainer-core/stacks
+
+# Update a stack (interactive mode - first time)
+./update-stack.sh open-webui.yml
+
+# Subsequent updates (uses stored token)
+./update-stack.sh open-webui.yml
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+### Authentication Flow
+
+1. **First Run:**
+   - Prompts for Portainer username/password
+   - Authenticates with Portainer API
+   - Generates JWT access token
+   - Saves token to `.portainer-token` (gitignored)
+
+2. **Subsequent Runs:**
+   - Reads token from `.portainer-token`
+   - Uses token for API calls
+   - No credential prompts needed
+
+### Update Process
+
+1. Reads YAML file from `stacks/` directory
+2. Authenticates with Portainer (or uses cached token)
+3. Looks up stack by name (filename without .yml)
+4. Sends updated stack configuration via API
+5. Portainer validates and applies changes
+
+## Usage Modes
+
+### Interactive Mode (Human Operators)
+
+```bash
+./update-stack.sh open-webui.yml
+```
+
+**First run prompts for:**
+- Portainer username
+- Portainer password
+
+**Token persists for subsequent runs.**
+
+### Non-Interactive Mode (Automation/LLM Agents)
+
+```bash
+export PORTAINER_USERNAME="admin"
+export PORTAINER_PASSWORD="your-secure-password"
+./update-stack.sh open-webui.yml
+```
+
+**Use this mode for:**
+- CI/CD pipelines
+- LLM agent workflows
+- Automated deployment scripts
+- Cron jobs
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
+|----------|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `PORTAINER_URL` | No | `http://localhost:8080` | Portainer instance URL |
+| `PORTAINER_USERNAME` | Non-interactive only | - | Admin username |
+| `PORTAINER_PASSWORD` | Non-interactive only | - | Admin password |
+
+## Examples
+
+### Update Single Stack
+
+```bash
+./update-stack.sh open-webui.yml
+```
+
+### Update Multiple Stacks
+
+```bash
+for stack in open-webui.yml ollama.yml core-api.yml; do
+    ./update-stack.sh "$stack"
+    echo "---"
+done
+```
+
+### LLM Agent Integration
+
+```bash
+# Claude Code workflow example
+export PORTAINER_USERNAME="admin"
+export PORTAINER_PASSWORD="${PORTAINER_ADMIN_PASSWORD}"  # from secure env
+
+# Update stack after modifying YAML
+./update-stack.sh open-webui.yml
+
+# Check result
+echo $?  # 0 = success, 1 = failure
+```
+
+### Remote Portainer Instance
+
+```bash
+export PORTAINER_URL="https://portainer.example.com"
+./update-stack.sh my-stack.yml
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Token Storage
+
+- Token stored in `.portainer-token` (gitignored)
+- File permissions: `600` (owner read/write only)
+- Token expires based on Portainer settings (default: 8 hours)
+- Re-authentication automatic if token expires
+
+### Credentials
+
+**DO NOT:**
+- ❌ Commit `.portainer-token` to git
+- ❌ Hardcode passwords in scripts
+- ❌ Share tokens between users
+- ❌ Use root/admin account for automation (create dedicated API user)
+
+**DO:**
+- ✅ Use environment variables for non-interactive mode
+- ✅ Store credentials in secure password manager
+- ✅ Create dedicated Portainer user for automation
+- ✅ Rotate passwords regularly
+- ✅ Use `.gitignore` to exclude token file
+
+### Best Practices
+
+1. **Create Automation User:**
+   ```
+   Portainer → Users → Add User
+   Username: portainer-automation
+   Role: Environment Administrator (or custom)
+   ```
+
+2. **Use Environment Variables:**
+   ```bash
+   # In ~/.bashrc or secure environment
+   export PORTAINER_USERNAME="portainer-automation"
+   export PORTAINER_PASSWORD="$(pass show portainer/automation)"  # from password manager
+   ```
+
+3. **Restrict Permissions:**
+   - Grant minimum required permissions
+   - Limit to specific environments/stacks if possible
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Authentication Failed
+
+```
+[ERROR] Failed to authenticate. Check credentials and try again.
+```
+
+**Solutions:**
+- Verify username/password are correct
+- Check Portainer is accessible: `curl http://localhost:8080/api/status`
+- Ensure user has admin/environment admin role
+- Try removing `.portainer-token` and re-authenticating
+
+### Stack Not Found
+
+```
+[ERROR] Stack 'my-stack' not found in Portainer
+Available stacks:
+  - open-webui
+  - ollama
+  - core-api
+```
+
+**Solutions:**
+- Verify stack name matches filename (without .yml)
+- Check stack exists in Portainer UI
+- Stack name is case-sensitive
+- Create stack in Portainer first if it doesn't exist
+
+### Connection Refused
+
+```
+[ERROR] Failed to connect to Portainer at http://localhost:8080
+```
+
+**Solutions:**
+- Check Portainer is running: `docker ps | grep portainer`
+- Verify port: Portainer default is 8080
+- Set `PORTAINER_URL` if using different port/host
+- Check firewall rules if accessing remote instance
+
+### Token Expired
+
+```
+[ERROR] Invalid authentication token
+```
+
+**Solutions:**
+- Delete token file: `rm .portainer-token`
+- Re-run script to re-authenticate
+- Check Portainer token expiration settings
+
+### YAML Validation Error
+
+```
+[ERROR] Stack update failed: invalid compose file
+```
+
+**Solutions:**
+- Validate YAML syntax: `yamllint open-webui.yml`
+- Check Docker Compose version compatibility
+- Review Portainer logs: `docker logs portainer`
+- Test with `docker compose config -f open-webui.yml`
+
+## Integration with LLM Agents
+
+### Claude Code Workflow
+
+This script is designed to integrate seamlessly with Claude Code workflows:
+
+1. **Agent modifies YAML file:**
+   ```python
+   # Claude uses Edit tool to update open-webui.yml
+   ```
+
+2. **Agent calls update script:**
+   ```bash
+   cd /home/jpmschweitzer/Projects/portainer-core/stacks
+   ./update-stack.sh open-webui.yml
+   ```
+
+3. **Agent verifies deployment:**
+   ```bash
+   docker logs open-webui --tail 20
+   curl http://localhost:82  # Verify service
+   ```
+
+### Setting Up for Claude
+
+Add to user profile or environment:
+
+```bash
+# In ~/.bashrc or secure location
+export PORTAINER_USERNAME="admin"
+export PORTAINER_PASSWORD="your-secure-password"
+
+# Or use password manager
+export PORTAINER_PASSWORD="$(pass show portainer/admin)"
+```
+
+Then Claude can directly call:
+```bash
+./update-stack.sh <stack-file.yml>
+```
+
+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Custom Portainer URL
+
+```bash
+# Connect to remote Portainer
+export PORTAINER_URL="https://portainer.mydomain.com"
+./update-stack.sh open-webui.yml
+```
+
+### Token Management
+
+```bash
+# View current token (for debugging)
+cat .portainer-token | base64 -d | jq
+
+# Force re-authentication
+rm .portainer-token
+./update-stack.sh open-webui.yml
+
+# Use specific token
+echo "your-jwt-token-here" > .portainer-token
+chmod 600 .portainer-token
+```
+
+### Dry Run (Check Only)
+
+```bash
+# Validate YAML before updating
+docker compose -f open-webui.yml config
+
+# Check current stack status
+curl -s http://localhost:8080/api/stacks \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $(cat .portainer-token)" | jq
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+The script uses these Portainer API endpoints:
+
+- `POST /api/auth` - Authenticate and get token
+- `GET /api/endpoints` - List Docker endpoints
+- `GET /api/stacks` - List all stacks
+- `PUT /api/stacks/{id}` - Update specific stack
+
+For full API documentation: https://docs.portainer.io/api/docs
+
+## Maintenance
+
+### Regular Tasks
+
+- **Monthly:** Rotate automation user password
+- **Quarterly:** Review and audit API access logs
+- **After incidents:** Revoke and regenerate tokens
+
+### Token Rotation
+
+```bash
+# Revoke old token (Portainer UI)
+Portainer → Users → [user] → Access Tokens → Revoke All
+
+# Re-authenticate
+rm .portainer-token
+./update-stack.sh open-webui.yml
+```
+
+## Support

+# Backup & Restore Procedures
+
+## Overview
+
+The `maintenance` container runs scheduled backup tasks using cron. It's a simple, reliable, "set and forget" solution.
+
+**Current Backups:**
+- **Docker Configs:** Daily at 3 AM
+- **Retention:** 30 days
+- **Size:** ~94 MB per backup
+- **Location:** `/mnt/media/backups/docker-configs/`
+
+**What's Backed Up:**
+- ✅ All Docker container configurations
+- ✅ Nginx Proxy Manager configs & SSL certificates
+- ✅ Headscale database & config
+- ✅ All dashboard settings (Heimdall, Organizr, Uptime Kuma)
+- ✅ All service configs
+- ❌ Ollama models (re-downloadable)
+- ❌ Cache files
+- ❌ Log files
+
+## Automated Backups
+
+**Schedule:** Daily at 3:00 AM (configured in crontab)
+
+**View Backup Logs:**
+```bash
+# Real-time logs
+docker logs -f maintenance
+
+# Backup script logs
+cat ~/docker-data/maintenance/logs/backup-configs.log
+```
+
+**List Existing Backups:**
+```bash
+ls -lh /mnt/media/backups/docker-configs/
+```
+
+## Manual Backup
+
+Run a backup anytime:
+```bash
+docker exec maintenance /scripts/backup-configs.sh
+```
+
+## Restore from Backup
+
+### Full Restore
+
+1. **Stop all containers:**
+   ```bash
+   docker stop $(docker ps -aq)
+   ```
+
+2. **Backup current state (just in case):**
+   ```bash
+   mv ~/docker-data ~/docker-data.old
+   ```
+
+3. **Extract backup:**
+   ```bash
+   cd ~
+   tar -xzf /mnt/media/backups/docker-configs/docker-configs-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.tar.gz
+   ```
+
+4. **Restart containers:**
+   ```bash
+   docker start $(docker ps -aq)
+   ```
+
+5. **Verify services:**
+   ```bash
+   docker ps
+   ```
+
+### Selective Restore (Single Service)
+
+Restore only one service's config (example: Headscale):
+
+```bash
+# Extract only headscale directory
+tar -xzf /mnt/media/backups/docker-configs/docker-configs-20251111-221349.tar.gz \
+    --strip-components=2 \
+    -C ~/docker-data/ \
+    docker-data/headscale
+
+# Restart the service
+docker restart headscale
+```
+
+## Adding New Maintenance Tasks
+
+The maintenance container can run any scheduled task, not just backups.
+
+### 1. Create New Script
+
+```bash
+# Create script file
+nano ~/docker-data/maintenance/scripts/my-task.sh
+
+# Make it executable
+chmod +x ~/docker-data/maintenance/scripts/my-task.sh
+```
+
+### 2. Add to Crontab
+
+```bash
+# Edit crontab
+nano ~/docker-data/maintenance/crontab
+
+# Add your schedule (example: every Sunday at 4 AM)
+# 0 4 * * 0 /scripts/my-task.sh
+```
+
+### 3. Restart Container
+
+```bash
+docker restart maintenance
+```
+
+### Examples of Future Tasks
+
+- **Weekly cleanup:** Remove old Docker images
+- **Health checks:** Verify all services are responding
+- **Update checks:** Notify when container updates available
+- **Database optimization:** Compact/optimize databases
+- **SSL renewal checks:** Verify certificates are valid
+
+## Testing Backup Integrity
+
+Periodically test that backups can be restored:
+
+```bash
+# Create test directory
+mkdir -p /tmp/backup-test
+
+# Extract backup
+tar -xzf /mnt/media/backups/docker-configs/docker-configs-LATEST.tar.gz \
+    -C /tmp/backup-test
+
+# Verify contents
+ls -la /tmp/backup-test/docker-data/
+
+# Clean up
+rm -rf /tmp/backup-test
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Backup Not Running
+
+**Check if container is running:**
+```bash
+docker ps | grep maintenance
+```
+
+**Check cron logs:**
+```bash
+docker logs maintenance
+```
+
+**Manually run backup to test:**
+```bash
+docker exec maintenance /scripts/backup-configs.sh
+```
+
+### Backup Taking Too Long
+
+- Check if exclusions are working (Ollama models should be excluded)
+- Monitor disk I/O: `iostat -x 1`
+- Check HDD health: `sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdb`
+
+### Backup Disk Full
+
+- Old backups auto-delete after 30 days
+- Manually remove old backups if needed:
+  ```bash
+  # List backups by size
+  du -h /mnt/media/backups/docker-configs/*
+
+  # Remove specific backup
+  rm /mnt/media/backups/docker-configs/docker-configs-20251001-*.tar.gz
+  ```
+
+### Restore Failed
+
+1. Check backup file integrity:
+   ```bash
+   tar -tzf /mnt/media/backups/docker-configs/backup-file.tar.gz > /dev/null
+   ```
+
+2. If corrupted, try previous backup
+
+3. Check disk space before restoring:
+   ```bash
+   df -h ~/docker-data
+   ```
+
+## Backup Storage
+
+**Current Usage:**
+- ~94 MB per daily backup
+- 30 days retention = ~2.8 GB total
+- Stored on 3.6 TB HDD (plenty of space)
+
+**Offsite Backups (Recommended):**
+
+For extra protection, periodically copy backups to external drive:
+
+```bash
+# Copy last 7 days to external drive
+rsync -av --progress /mnt/media/backups/docker-configs/ /mnt/external-drive/backups/
+```

+# Code-Server Installation Guide
+
+> Browser-based VSCode IDE running on host for full system access
+>
+> **Service Type:** Host-based (systemd service, not containerized)
+> **Purpose:** Replace SSH with persistent web-based development environment
+> **Access:** https://code.schweitz.net (via NPM with SSL)
+
+---
+
+## Why Host-Based?
+
+Unlike other services in this stack, code-server runs directly on the host OS (not in Docker) to provide:
+
+- Full access to host filesystem and configurations
+- Direct control over systemd services
+- Native Docker CLI access without Docker-in-Docker complexity
+- No permission issues when editing files across SSD/HDD
+- Persistent sessions that survive network disconnections
+
+---
+
+## Installation Steps
+
+### 1. Install code-server
+
+Run these commands on the tower-of-joy host:
+
+```bash
+# Download and install code-server (version 4.x)
+curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh
+
+# Verify installation
+code-server --version
+```
+
+### 2. Create Configuration Directory
+
+```bash
+# Create config directory
+mkdir -p ~/.config/code-server
+
+# Create configuration file
+cat > ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml <<'EOF'
+bind-addr: 127.0.0.1:8084
+auth: password
+password: CHANGE_THIS_PASSWORD
+cert: false
+user-data-dir: /home/jpmschweitzer/docker-data/code-server/user-data
+extensions-dir: /home/jpmschweitzer/docker-data/code-server/extensions
+EOF
+
+# Create data directories on SSD
+mkdir -p /home/jpmschweitzer/docker-data/code-server/{user-data,extensions}
+```
+
+**IMPORTANT:** Replace `CHANGE_THIS_PASSWORD` with a strong password. This is a secondary auth layer (NPM will provide the primary authentication).
+
+### 3. Create Systemd Service
+
+```bash
+# Create service file
+sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/code-server.service > /dev/null <<'EOF'
+[Unit]
+Description=code-server - Browser-based VSCode IDE
+Documentation=https://coder.com/docs/code-server
+After=network.target
+
+[Service]
+Type=exec
+ExecStart=/usr/bin/code-server
+Restart=always
+User=jpmschweitzer
+Group=jpmschweitzer
+Environment="PASSWORD_FROM_CONFIG=true"
+
+# Hardening
+NoNewPrivileges=true
+PrivateTmp=true
+ProtectSystem=full
+ProtectHome=false
+ReadWritePaths=/home/jpmschweitzer /mnt/media
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+EOF
+
+# Reload systemd daemon
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+
+# Enable and start code-server
+sudo systemctl enable code-server
+sudo systemctl start code-server
+
+# Check status
+sudo systemctl status code-server
+```
+
+### 4. Verify Local Access
+
+```bash
+# Test that code-server is running locally
+curl -I http://127.0.0.1:8084
+
+# Should return HTTP 302 (redirect to login page)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Service Integration
+
+### Uptime Kuma Monitoring
+
+After code-server is running, add it to Uptime Kuma for health monitoring:
+
+1. Open Uptime Kuma: http://192.168.86.149:3001
+2. Click **Add New Monitor**
+3. Configure the monitor:
+
+**Monitor Settings:**
+- **Monitor Type:** HTTP(s)
+- **Friendly Name:** Code-Server
+- **URL:** https://code.schweitz.net
+- **Heartbeat Interval:** 60 seconds
+- **Retries:** 3
+- **Heartbeat Retry Interval:** 60 seconds
+- **Accepted Status Codes:** 200-299, 302 (redirect to login)
+- **Ignore TLS/SSL errors:** ❌ Disabled (cert should be valid)
+- **Tags:** Infrastructure, Development
+
+4. Click **Save**
+
+The monitor should show "Up" status once code-server is accessible through NPM.
+
+### Organizr Dashboard Integration
+
+Add code-server to your Organizr unified dashboard:
+
+1. Open Organizr: https://home.schweitz.net
+2. Navigate to **Settings → Tab Editor**
+3. Click **Add Tab**
+
+**Tab Configuration:**
+- **Tab Name:** Code-Server
+- **Tab URL:** https://code.schweitz.net
+- **Category:** Infrastructure (or create "Development" category)
+- **Icon:** `fa-code` or `fa-laptop-code`
+- **Active:** ✅ Enabled
+- **New Window:** ❌ Disabled (use iframe)
+
+4. **Homepage Integration (Optional):**
+   - Go to **Settings → Homepage Items**
+   - Add custom HTML tile:
+
+```html
+<div class="homepage-item">
+  <a href="https://code.schweitz.net" target="_blank">
+    <i class="fa fa-code fa-3x"></i>
+    <span>Code-Server</span>
+  </a>
+</div>
+```
+
+5. Click **Save**
+
+The code-server tab will now appear in your Organizr sidebar.
+
+---
+
+## Nginx Proxy Manager Configuration
+
+### Create Proxy Host
+
+1. Open NPM admin interface: http://192.168.86.149:81
+2. Navigate to **Hosts → Proxy Hosts → Add Proxy Host**
+
+**Details Tab:**
+- **Domain Name:** `code.schweitz.net`
+- **Scheme:** `http`
+- **Forward Hostname/IP:** `192.168.86.149` (or `localhost`)
+- **Forward Port:** `8084`
+- **Block Common Exploits:** ✅ Enabled
+- **Websockets Support:** ✅ Enabled (critical for code-server)
+
+**SSL Tab:**
+- **SSL Certificate:** Request New SSL Certificate
+- **Force SSL:** ✅ Enabled
+- **HTTP/2 Support:** ✅ Enabled
+- **HSTS Enabled:** ✅ Enabled
+- **Email:** your-email@example.com (for Let's Encrypt)
+- **Terms of Service:** ✅ Agree
+
+**Access List Tab:**
+- Create new access list: "Code Server Access"
+- Configure basic auth or use NPM's built-in authentication
+
+**Advanced Tab (optional):**
+```nginx
+# Increase timeout for long-running operations
+proxy_read_timeout 3600s;
+proxy_send_timeout 3600s;
+
+# Proper headers for WebSocket support
+proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
+proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
+proxy_set_header Accept-Encoding gzip;
+```
+
+---
+
+## Security Hardening
+
+### Firewall Rules
+
+```bash
+# Ensure port 8084 is NOT exposed to the internet
+sudo ufw status
+
+# Port 8084 should only be accessible from localhost
+# External access ONLY through NPM on ports 80/443
+```
+
+### Authentication Layers
+
+Code-server will have **three layers of security**:
+
+1. **NPM Access List** - Primary authentication via reverse proxy
+2. **code-server password** - Secondary authentication (from config.yaml)
+3. **HTTPS/SSL** - Encrypted transport via Let's Encrypt
+
+### Recommended NPM Access List
+
+Create an access list in NPM with:
+- Basic Auth username/password
+- IP whitelist (optional): Restrict to known IPs or Tailscale network
+- Rate limiting: Prevent brute force attacks
+
+---
+
+## Configuration Tips
+
+### Extensions to Install
+
+After first login, install these extensions:
+
+```bash
+# Via code-server CLI
+code-server --install-extension ms-python.python
+code-server --install-extension ms-azuretools.vscode-docker
+code-server --install-extension eamodio.gitlens
+code-server --install-extension GitHub.copilot  # If you have Copilot
+code-server --install-extension Codeium.codeium  # Free AI assistant alternative
+```
+
+### Custom Settings
+
+Edit settings via UI or directly:
+
+```bash
+nano ~/docker-data/code-server/user-data/User/settings.json
+```
+
+Recommended settings:
+```json
+{
+  "workbench.colorTheme": "Default Dark+",
+  "terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.linux": "bash",
+  "files.watcherExclude": {
+    "**/node_modules/**": true,
+    "**/.git/objects/**": true,
+    "**/.venv/**": true
+  },
+  "editor.formatOnSave": true,
+  "files.autoSave": "afterDelay"
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Maintenance
+
+### View Logs
+
+```bash
+# Systemd logs
+sudo journalctl -u code-server -f
+
+# Follow recent logs
+sudo journalctl -u code-server --since "10 minutes ago"
+```
+
+### Restart Service
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl restart code-server
+```
+
+### Update code-server
+
+```bash
+# Re-run installation script
+curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh
+
+# Restart service to use new version
+sudo systemctl restart code-server
+```
+
+### Backup Configuration
+
+Configuration is stored in:
+- `~/.config/code-server/config.yaml` - Main config
+- `~/docker-data/code-server/user-data/` - Settings, keybindings, snippets
+- `~/docker-data/code-server/extensions/` - Installed extensions
+
+**Automated Backups:**
+
+The maintenance container backs up code-server configuration nightly at 3 AM to `/mnt/media/backups/docker-configs/` with 30-day retention.
+
+After installing code-server, restart the maintenance container to enable backups:
+
+```bash
+docker restart maintenance
+
+# Verify the mount is accessible
+docker exec maintenance ls -la /data/code-server-config
+
+# Manually trigger a backup to test
+docker exec maintenance /scripts/backup-configs.sh
+
+# Check backup logs
+docker exec maintenance cat /var/log/maintenance/backup-configs.log
+```
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Service won't start
+
+```bash
+# Check service status
+sudo systemctl status code-server
+
+# Check logs for errors
+sudo journalctl -u code-server -n 50
+
+# Verify config file syntax
+cat ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
+```
+
+### Can't connect via browser
+
+```bash
+# Verify code-server is listening
+sudo netstat -tlnp | grep 8084
+
+# Check NPM proxy host configuration
+# Ensure WebSocket support is enabled
+# Verify SSL certificate is valid
+```
+
+### Performance issues
+
+```bash
+# Check system resources
+htop
+
+# Monitor code-server process
+top -p $(pgrep code-server)
+
+# Increase file watcher limits if needed
+echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
+sudo sysctl -p
+```

+# Connecting Devices to Headscale VPN
+
+> Step-by-step guide for connecting various devices to your Headscale mesh network
+> Created: 2025-11-11
+
+## Overview
+
+Once connected to Headscale, devices can access all services via mesh IPs (10.99.0.x):
+- Organizr: http://10.99.0.1:9999
+- Portainer: http://10.99.0.1:8001
+- Netdata: http://10.99.0.1:19999
+- All other services using mesh IPs
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+**You need a pre-auth key from Headscale:**
+
+```bash
+# Generate a new pre-auth key (run on tower-of-joy)
+docker exec headscale headscale preauthkeys create --user homelab --expiration 24h
+
+# Output example:
+# b4c17f9e9f01ea2e54b24e0369e2949bd28bfaf46944c634
+```
+
+**Save this key - you'll use it to connect each device.**
+
+## macOS (MacBook/iMac)
+
+### Method 1: Tailscale App (Recommended)
+
+**Step 1: Install Tailscale**
+```bash
+# Option A: Using Homebrew
+brew install tailscale
+
+# Option B: Download from website
+# Visit: https://tailscale.com/download/mac
+# Download and install the .pkg file
+```
+
+**Step 2: Start Tailscale**
+```bash
+# Start the Tailscale service
+sudo tailscaled install-system-daemon
+sudo /Applications/Tailscale.app/Contents/MacOS/Tailscale up
+```
+
+**Step 3: Connect to Headscale**
+
+Open the Tailscale app from menu bar → Preferences → Login Server
+
+OR use command line:
+```bash
+sudo tailscale up --login-server=http://<your-public-ip>:8085 \
+  --authkey=<your-preauth-key> \
+  --hostname=macbook
+
+# Example:
+# sudo tailscale up --login-server=http://your-public-ip:8085 \
+#   --authkey=b4c17f9e9f01ea2e54b24e0369e2949bd28bfaf46944c634 \
+#   --hostname=macbook
+```
+

+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Can't Connect to Headscale Server
+
+**Problem:** "Failed to connect to login server"
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. **Check port 8085 is forwarded:**
+   ```bash
+   # Test from outside network
+   curl http://<your-public-ip>:8085
+   # Should return HTML or redirect
+   ```
+
+2. **Check Headscale is running:**
+   ```bash
+   # On tower-of-joy
+   docker ps | grep headscale
+   docker logs headscale
+   ```
+
+3. **Use local IP if on same network:**
+   ```bash
+   # Instead of public IP, use local IP
+   sudo tailscale up --login-server=http://192.168.86.149:8085 ...
+   ```
+
+### Connected but Can't Reach Services
+
+**Problem:** Connected to VPN but can't access 10.99.0.1
+
+**Check:**
+```bash
+# Verify VPN connection
+tailscale status
+# Should show tower-of-joy as online
+
+# Test ping
+ping 10.99.0.1
+# Should respond
+
+# Check firewall (on tower-of-joy)
+# Ensure mesh interface accepts traffic
+sudo iptables -L -n | grep tailscale
+```
+
+**Solution:**
+```bash
+# On tower-of-joy, allow traffic from mesh network
+sudo iptables -A INPUT -i tailscale0 -j ACCEPT
+```
+
+### Pre-Auth Key Expired
+
+**Problem:** "Invalid auth key"
+
+**Solution:**
+```bash
+# Generate new key (on tower-of-joy)
+docker exec headscale headscale preauthkeys create --user homelab --expiration 24h
+
+# Use the new key to connect
+```
+
+### DNS Not Resolving
+
+**Problem:** Can ping 10.99.0.1 but browser can't resolve
+
+**Solution:**
+- Use IP addresses directly: `http://10.99.0.1:9999`
+- Don't use hostnames unless you've configured DNS
+- Mesh IPs always work
+
+## Verifying Your Connection
+
+### Quick Test Checklist
+
+From your newly connected device:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Check VPN status
+tailscale status
+# Should show: connected, online
+
+# 2. Get your mesh IP
+tailscale ip -4
+# Example: 10.99.0.2
+
+# 3. Ping tower-of-joy
+ping -c 4 10.99.0.1
+# Should get responses
+
+# 4. Test Organizr
+curl -I http://10.99.0.1:9999
+# Should return HTTP 200 OK
+
+# 5. Test other services
+curl -I http://10.99.0.1:8001  # Portainer
+curl -I http://10.99.0.1:19999 # Netdata
+curl -I http://10.99.0.1:3001  # Uptime Kuma
+```
+
+### View All Connected Devices
+
+```bash
+# On tower-of-joy
+docker exec headscale headscale nodes list
+
+# Shows all devices:
+# ID | Hostname     | IP        | Last Seen
+# 1  | tower-of-joy | 10.99.0.1 | now
+# 2  | macbook      | 10.99.0.2 | now
+# 3  | iphone       | 10.99.0.3 | now
+```
+
+## Managing Devices
+
+### Remove a Device
+
+```bash
+# On tower-of-joy
+docker exec headscale headscale nodes list
+# Note the ID of the device to remove
+
+docker exec headscale headscale nodes delete <ID>
+```
+
+### Rename a Device
+
+```bash
+docker exec headscale headscale nodes rename <OLD-NAME> <NEW-NAME>
+```
+
+### Generate Multiple Pre-Auth Keys
+
+```bash
+# For different devices or time periods
+docker exec headscale headscale preauthkeys create --user homelab --expiration 1h --reusable
+docker exec headscale headscale preauthkeys create --user homelab --expiration 7d
+docker exec headscale headscale preauthkeys create --user homelab --expiration 30d
+```
+
+### List All Pre-Auth Keys
+
+```bash
+docker exec headscale headscale preauthkeys list
+```
+
+## Security Best Practices
+
+### Key Expiration
+- ✅ Use short expiration for one-time device setups (1h-24h)
+- ✅ Use longer expiration for trusted devices (7d-30d)
+- ⚠️ Never use permanent keys
+
+### Device Management
+- ✅ Use descriptive hostnames (macbook, work-laptop, phone)
+- ✅ Regularly review connected devices
+- ✅ Remove old/unused devices
+- ✅ Regenerate keys periodically
+
+### Network Security
+- ✅ Headscale port (8085) should be firewalled to trusted IPs if possible
+- ✅ Use strong authentication on services
+- ✅ Consider adding MFA to Organizr for public access
+- ✅ Monitor Headscale logs for suspicious activity
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+### MacBook Connection (Your Current Task)
+```bash
+# 1. Generate pre-auth key (on tower-of-joy)
+docker exec headscale headscale preauthkeys create --user homelab --expiration 24h

+# GPU Docker Configuration - Working Setup
+
+> Successfully configured: 2025-11-11
+> System: tower-of-joy
+> GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti
+> Driver: 470.256.02
+
+## Problem Encountered
+
+**Issue:** nvidia-container-toolkit 1.18.0 has a compatibility bug with NVIDIA driver 470.x
+- Version 1.18 changed default mode from "legacy" to "CDI"
+- Legacy mode detection fails with older drivers
+- Error: `libnvidia-ml.so.1: cannot open shared object file`
+
+## Working Solution
+
+**Downgrade to nvidia-container-toolkit 1.17.9-1**
+
+All nvidia-container packages must be downgraded together:
+- nvidia-container-toolkit
+- nvidia-container-toolkit-base
+- libnvidia-container-tools
+- libnvidia-container1
+
+## Installation Commands
+
+```bash
+# Remove all nvidia-container packages
+sudo apt-get remove -y nvidia-container-toolkit nvidia-container-toolkit-base libnvidia-container-tools libnvidia-container1
+
+# Clean up
+sudo apt-get autoremove -y
+
+# Install all packages at version 1.17.9-1
+sudo apt-get install -y \
+  nvidia-container-toolkit=1.17.9-1 \
+  nvidia-container-toolkit-base=1.17.9-1 \
+  libnvidia-container-tools=1.17.9-1 \
+  libnvidia-container1=1.17.9-1
+
+# Hold packages to prevent auto-upgrade
+sudo apt-mark hold nvidia-container-toolkit nvidia-container-toolkit-base libnvidia-container-tools libnvidia-container1
+
+# Configure Docker runtime
+sudo nvidia-ctk runtime configure --runtime=docker --config=/etc/docker/daemon.json
+
+# Rebuild library cache
+sudo ldconfig
+
+# Restart Docker
+sudo systemctl restart docker
+```
+
+## Verification
+
+```bash
+# Test GPU access
+sudo docker run --rm --gpus all nvidia/cuda:11.8.0-runtime-ubuntu20.04 nvidia-smi
+```
+
+**Expected output:** nvidia-smi showing RTX 2080 Ti
+
+## Current Configuration
+
+### /etc/docker/daemon.json
+```json
+{
+    "runtimes": {
+        "nvidia": {
+            "args": [],
+            "path": "nvidia-container-runtime"
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Installed Versions
+```
+libnvidia-container-tools     1.17.9-1
+libnvidia-container1          1.17.9-1
+nvidia-container-toolkit      1.17.9-1
+nvidia-container-toolkit-base 1.17.9-1
+```
+
+All packages are **held** to prevent automatic upgrade to 1.18.x
+
+## Important Notes
+
+1. **Do NOT upgrade** nvidia-container-toolkit to 1.18.x - it breaks compatibility with driver 470
+2. If you run `apt upgrade`, the packages are held and won't upgrade
+3. To check held packages: `apt-mark showhold`
+4. To unhold (not recommended): `sudo apt-mark unhold nvidia-container-toolkit`
+
+## For Future Reference
+
+If you need to update the NVIDIA driver:
+1. Driver 470.x is compatible with CUDA 11.4
+2. Driver 525+ is compatible with CUDA 12.x
+3. After driver update, may be able to use newer nvidia-container-toolkit
+
+## Testing GPU in Containers
+
+### Quick Test
+```bash
+docker run --rm --gpus all nvidia/cuda:11.8.0-runtime-ubuntu20.04 nvidia-smi
+```
+
+### Test with Ollama
+```bash
+docker run --rm --gpus all ollama/ollama nvidia-smi
+```
+
+### Test with Jellyfin (after deployment)
+Check Jellyfin Dashboard → Playback → Transcoding for NVIDIA NVENC option
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If GPU stops working after system update:
+
+```bash
+# Check if packages were upgraded
+dpkg -l | grep nvidia-container
+
+# If upgraded to 1.18.x, re-run downgrade script:
+sudo bash /home/jpmschweitzer/Projects/tower-of-joy/scripts/gpu-fix-downgrade-all.sh
+```

+# Mesh Network Access Strategy (Option B)
+
+> Hybrid approach: Public access for media/files, VPN-only for admin tools
+> All VPN access uses Headscale mesh IPs (10.99.0.x)
+> Created: 2025-11-11
+
+## Core Principles
+
+**RULE: All external/public access MUST route through NPM proxy**
+
+**Why this rule is mandatory:**
+- ✅ **Let's Encrypt SSL**: Automatic certificate management in one place
+- ✅ **Unified logging**: All external access logged in NPM
+- ✅ **Security headers**: Consistent security policy (HSTS, CSP, etc.)
+- ✅ **Access control**: Single point to manage public access
+- ✅ **DDoS protection**: Can add Cloudflare/rate limiting at proxy level
+- ✅ **No port sprawl**: Only ports 80/443 exposed externally
+
+**Access Patterns:**
+- **Internal/VPN access**: Direct mesh IPs → `http://10.99.0.1:8096`
+- **External/Public access**: Through NPM → `https://media.schweitz.net` → NPM forwards to mesh IP
+- **NEVER**: Direct port forwarding to services (except NPM and Headscale)

+
+**Note:** Mesh IP `10.99.0.1` is assumed for tower-of-joy. Actual IP will be assigned by Headscale.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+### Phase 1: Connect tower-of-joy to Headscale
+
+**First, get the server onto its own VPN mesh:**
+
+```bash
+# Install Tailscale client on tower-of-joy
+curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh
+
+# Connect to your Headscale server
+sudo tailscale up --login-server=http://192.168.86.149:8085 \
+  --authkey=<your-preauth-key> \
+  --hostname=tower-of-joy
+
+# Verify connection
+tailscale status
+# Should show: tower-of-joy with mesh IP (e.g., 10.99.0.1)
+
+# Get the mesh IP assigned to tower-of-joy
+tailscale ip -4
+# Note this IP - you'll use it in Organizr configuration
+```
+
+**Verify from Headscale:**
+```bash
+# List all nodes in mesh
+docker exec headscale headscale nodes list
+
+# Should show:
+# ID | Name           | IP         | Last Seen
+# 1  | tower-of-joy   | 10.99.0.1  | now
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Deploy Organizr
+
+```bash
+# Create config directory
+mkdir -p ~/docker-data/organizr
+
+# Deploy Organizr
+docker compose -f stacks/organizr.yml up -d
+
+# Verify running
+docker ps | grep organizr
+```
+
+### Phase 3: Configure Organizr with Mesh IPs
+
+**Access Organizr setup:**
+- From local network: http://192.168.86.149:9999
+- From VPN: http://10.99.0.1:9999
+
+**Complete setup wizard:**
+1. Choose installation type: "Personal"
+2. Create admin user
+3. Set timezone: Europe/Amsterdam
+4. Complete setup
+
+**Add tabs using mesh IPs:**
+
+Navigate to: Settings → Tab Editor
+
+#### Tab: Portainer
+```
+Tab Name: Portainer
+Tab URL: http://10.99.0.1:8001
+Tab Type: iframe
+Category: Admin
+Icon: docker
+Enabled: Yes
+Active: Yes
+```
+
+#### Tab: Netdata
+```
+Tab Name: Netdata
+Tab URL: http://10.99.0.1:19999
+Tab Type: iframe
+Category: Monitoring
+Icon: line-chart
+Enabled: Yes
+```
+
+#### Tab: Uptime Kuma
+```
+Tab Name: Uptime
+Tab URL: http://10.99.0.1:3001
+Tab Type: iframe
+Category: Monitoring
+Icon: heartbeat
+Enabled: Yes
+```
+
+#### Tab: Heimdall
+```
+Tab Name: Dashboard
+Tab URL: http://10.99.0.1:8888
+Tab Type: iframe
+Category: Home
+Icon: th
+Enabled: Yes
+```
+
+#### Tab: Jellyfin (when deployed)
+```
+Tab Name: Media
+Tab URL: http://10.99.0.1:8096
+Tab Type: iframe
+Category: Apps
+Icon: film
+Enabled: Yes
+```
+
+#### Tab: Nextcloud (when deployed)
+```
+Tab Name: Cloud
+Tab URL: http://10.99.0.1:8082
+Tab Type: iframe
+Category: Apps
+Icon: cloud
+Enabled: Yes
+```
+
+### Phase 4: Configure NPM for Public Access
+
+**Only expose these services publicly:**
+
+Access NPM admin: http://10.99.0.1:81 (via VPN)
+
+#### 1. Organizr (Public Dashboard)
+```
+Proxy Host Configuration:
+Domain Names: home.schweitz.net
+Scheme: http
+Forward Hostname/IP: 10.99.0.1
+Forward Port: 9999
+✓ Block Common Exploits
+✓ Websockets Support
+
+SSL Tab:
+✓ Force SSL
+✓ HTTP/2 Support
+✓ HSTS Enabled
+Request New SSL Certificate (Let's Encrypt)
+```
+
+#### 2. Jellyfin (Public Media)
+```
+Proxy Host Configuration:
+Domain Names: media.schweitz.net
+Scheme: http
+Forward Hostname/IP: 10.99.0.1
+Forward Port: 8096
+✓ Block Common Exploits
+✓ Websockets Support
+
+SSL Tab:
+✓ Force SSL
+✓ HTTP/2 Support
+Request New SSL Certificate (Let's Encrypt)
+```
+
+#### 3. Nextcloud (Public Files)
+```
+Proxy Host Configuration:
+Domain Names: cloud.schweitz.net
+Scheme: http
+Forward Hostname/IP: 10.99.0.1
+Forward Port: 8082
+✓ Block Common Exploits
+✓ Websockets Support
+
+SSL Tab:
+✓ Force SSL
+✓ HTTP/2 Support
+Request New SSL Certificate (Let's Encrypt)
+
+Custom Nginx Configuration:
+client_max_body_size 10G;  # Allow large file uploads
+proxy_request_buffering off;
+```
+
+### Phase 5: DNS Configuration
+
+**Required DNS records:**
+```
+home.schweitz.net   A  <your-public-ip>
+media.schweitz.net  A  <your-public-ip>
+cloud.schweitz.net  A  <your-public-ip>
+```
+
+**Or use wildcard:**
+```
+*.schweitz.net      A  <your-public-ip>
+```
+
+### Phase 6: Router Port Forwarding
+
+**CRITICAL: ONLY these ports exposed to internet:**
+```
+External Port 443  → 192.168.86.149:443  (NPM HTTPS - ALL public services)
+External Port 80   → 192.168.86.149:80   (NPM HTTP redirect to HTTPS)
+External Port 8085 → 192.168.86.149:8085 (Headscale VPN control plane)
+```
+
+**⚠️ NEVER forward service ports directly!**
+- ❌ DO NOT forward port 8096 (Jellyfin)
+- ❌ DO NOT forward port 8082 (Nextcloud)
+- ❌ DO NOT forward port 9999 (Organizr)
+- ❌ DO NOT forward ANY service port except NPM and Headscale
+
+**Why?**
+- All public services MUST go through NPM for SSL and logging
+- Direct port forwards bypass centralized security and logging
+- NPM provides unified Let's Encrypt management
+- NPM logs all external access for audit trails
+
+## Access Patterns
+
+### Scenario 1: Working from Home (Local Network)
+
+**Can access via:**
+- Local IPs: http://192.168.86.149:9999
+- Mesh IPs: http://10.99.0.1:9999 (if VPN connected)
+- Public domains: https://home.schweitz.net
+
+**Best practice:** Use mesh IPs consistently for uniform experience
+
+### Scenario 2: Remote Work (Connected to Headscale VPN)
+
+**From laptop/phone on VPN:**
+```bash
+# Verify VPN connection
+tailscale status
+
+# Access Organizr
+http://10.99.0.1:9999
+
+# All tabs work with mesh IPs:
+- Portainer: http://10.99.0.1:8001
+- Netdata: http://10.99.0.1:19999
+- Uptime Kuma: http://10.99.0.1:3001
+```
+
+**Accessing public services:**
+- Can still use: https://media.schweitz.net (Jellyfin)
+- Or direct mesh: http://10.99.0.1:8096
+- Choose whichever is more convenient
+
+### Scenario 3: Sharing with Family/Friends (No VPN)
+
+**Public access only:**
+- Jellyfin: https://media.schweitz.net
+- Nextcloud: https://cloud.schweitz.net
+- Organizr: https://home.schweitz.net (if you want public dashboard)
+
+**Cannot access:**
+- Admin tools (Portainer, Netdata, NPM) - VPN required
+- They need Headscale VPN for admin access
+
+## Security Configuration
+
+### Organizr Authentication
+
+**Enable auth for public access:**
+
+Settings → User Management
+- Create user accounts for family/friends
+- Configure access levels:
+  - Admin: Full access to all tabs
+  - User: Only media/cloud tabs visible
+  - Guest: Read-only access
+
+**Restrict admin tabs to admin users only:**
+- Tab Editor → each admin tab → "Minimum Authentication" → Admin
+
+### NPM Access Lists (Optional)
+
+**For extra security on public services:**
+
+Access Lists → Create "VPN Only"
+```
+Name: Headscale VPN Only
+Allow: 10.99.0.0/16
+Deny: all
+```
+
+Apply to sensitive proxy hosts if needed.
+
+### Service-Level Authentication
+
+**Each service maintains its own auth:**
+- Portainer: Admin password
+- Jellyfin: User accounts
+- Nextcloud: User accounts
+- Uptime Kuma: Admin password
+
+**This is defense in depth:**
+1. VPN layer (for admin tools)
+2. Organizr layer (for organizing access)
+3. Service layer (individual logins)
+
+## Connecting Other Devices
+
+### Laptop/Desktop
+
+```bash
+# Install Tailscale
+curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh
+
+# Connect to Headscale
+sudo tailscale up --login-server=http://192.168.86.149:8085 \
+  --authkey=<your-preauth-key> \
+  --hostname=my-laptop
+
+# Verify mesh access
+curl http://10.99.0.1:9999
+# Should load Organizr
+```
+
+### Phone (Android/iOS)
+
+1. Install Tailscale app from store
+2. In app settings:
+   - Use custom control server
+   - Server URL: http://<your-public-ip>:8085
+   - OR: http://192.168.86.149:8085 (if on local network)
+3. Authenticate with pre-auth key
+4. Open browser: http://10.99.0.1:9999
+
+### Work Computer (Can't Install Software)
+
+**Use public access only:**
+- https://home.schweitz.net (Organizr - only non-admin tabs)
+- https://media.schweitz.net (Jellyfin)
+- https://cloud.schweitz.net (Nextcloud)
+
+**Cannot access admin tools without VPN**
+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+### Phase 1: Local Access
+- [ ] tower-of-joy connected to Headscale
+- [ ] Mesh IP assigned (10.99.0.x)
+- [ ] Can access services via mesh IP from tower-of-joy itself
+
+### Phase 2: VPN Access from Another Device
+- [ ] Connect laptop/phone to Headscale
+- [ ] Verify mesh connectivity: `ping 10.99.0.1`
+- [ ] Access Organizr: http://10.99.0.1:9999
+- [ ] All tabs load correctly with mesh IPs
+- [ ] Portainer accessible via mesh
+- [ ] Netdata accessible via mesh
+
+### Phase 3: Public Access
+- [ ] DNS configured correctly

+
+## Advantages of This Architecture
+
+### Mesh IP Benefits
+✅ **Location independent:** Same IPs whether at home or remote
+✅ **Secure by default:** Admin tools only via VPN
+✅ **Simple routing:** No complex proxy rewrites
+✅ **Flexible access:** Public and private services coexist
+✅ **Future-proof:** Add devices easily, IPs don't change
+✅ **No split-brain:** One set of URLs to remember
+
+### NPM Proxy Benefits (For Public Access)
+✅ **Centralized SSL:** All Let's Encrypt certs in one place
+✅ **Unified logging:** All external access logged in NPM audit log
+✅ **Security headers:** Consistent HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options
+✅ **Access control:** Add rate limiting, IP blocking at proxy level
+✅ **DDoS protection:** Can add Cloudflare in front of NPM
+✅ **Port efficiency:** Only 2 ports exposed (80, 443)
+
+### Compliance & Auditing
+✅ **Audit trail:** NPM logs all external access attempts
+✅ **SSL compliance:** Automatic certificate renewal
+✅ **Security posture:** Single point to review/harden public access
+✅ **Change management:** Proxy config changes tracked in one place
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Can't connect to mesh IPs
+**Check:**
+```bash
+# Verify Tailscale running
+sudo systemctl status tailscaled
+
+# Check mesh status
+tailscale status
+
+# Test connectivity
+ping 10.99.0.1
+```
+
+### Organizr tabs not loading
+**Issue:** Service blocking iframe embedding
+**Solution:**
+- Check browser console for errors
+- Some services need `X-Frame-Options` configured
+- Use "pseudo tab" mode (opens in new tab instead)
+
+### Public access not working
+**Check:**
+1. DNS resolves to your public IP: `nslookup home.schweitz.net`
+2. Router port forwarding configured
+3. NPM proxy host using correct mesh IP (10.99.0.1)
+4. SSL certificate valid
+
+### Headscale connection fails
+**Check:**
+- Port 8085 accessible from internet
+- Pre-auth key still valid
+- Headscale service running: `docker logs headscale`
+
+## Next Actions
+
+1. **Connect tower-of-joy to Headscale** (get mesh IP)
+2. **Deploy Organizr** (`make deploy-organizr`)
+3. **Configure Organizr tabs** (using mesh IPs)
+4. **Configure NPM** (public services only)
+5. **Test VPN access** (from another device)
+6. **Test public access** (from mobile data)
+
+---
+
+**This gives you the best of both worlds:**
+- Secure admin access via VPN + mesh IPs
+- Public access for media/files (family/friends)
+- Single Organizr dashboard for everything
+- No complex proxy rewrites
+- Easy to add new devices

+# NPM Logging & Audit Guide
+
+> Centralized logging for all external access
+> Created: 2025-11-11
+
+## Why NPM is the Logging Hub
+
+**All public service access routes through NPM**, which means:
+- Every external request is logged
+- Failed authentication attempts tracked
+- Rate limiting violations recorded
+- SSL certificate renewals logged
+- Configuration changes audited
+
+## Accessing NPM Logs
+
+### Via NPM UI
+
+**Access NPM admin panel:**
+- VPN: http://10.99.0.1:81
+- Local: http://192.168.86.149:81
+
+**View logs:**
+1. Navigate to each Proxy Host
+2. Click "View Logs" button
+3. See real-time access logs
+4. Filter by status code, IP, user agent
+
+### Via Docker Logs
+
+**Real-time monitoring:**
+```bash
+# All NPM logs
+docker logs -f nginx-proxy-manager
+
+# Filter for access logs only
+docker logs -f nginx-proxy-manager 2>&1 | grep -i "access"
+
+# Filter for errors
+docker logs -f nginx-proxy-manager 2>&1 | grep -i "error"
+
+# Filter for specific service (e.g., Jellyfin)
+docker logs -f nginx-proxy-manager 2>&1 | grep "media.schweitz.net"
+```
+
+### Via Log Files
+
+**Log location:**
+```bash
+# Access logs stored in container volume
+ls -lh ~/docker-data/nginx-proxy-manager/data/logs/
+
+# View access logs
+tail -f ~/docker-data/nginx-proxy-manager/data/logs/proxy-host-*.log
+
+# View error logs
+tail -f ~/docker-data/nginx-proxy-manager/data/logs/proxy-host-*_error.log
+```
+
+## Log Format
+
+**Standard NPM access log:**
+```
+192.0.2.1 - - [11/Nov/2025:21:30:15 +0100] "GET /api/users HTTP/2.0" 200 1234 "https://media.schweitz.net" "Mozilla/5.0..."
+```
+
+**Fields:**
+- **IP address**: Client IP (or Cloudflare IP if proxied)
+- **Timestamp**: When request occurred
+- **HTTP method**: GET, POST, etc.
+- **Request path**: /api/users
+- **Protocol**: HTTP/2.0
+- **Status code**: 200 (success), 404 (not found), 403 (forbidden), etc.
+- **Bytes sent**: Response size
+- **Referer**: Previous page
+- **User agent**: Browser/client info
+
+## Useful Log Queries
+
+### Find Failed Login Attempts
+```bash
+# Status codes 401 (unauthorized) or 403 (forbidden)
+grep -E " (401|403) " ~/docker-data/nginx-proxy-manager/data/logs/proxy-host-*.log
+
+# With IP addresses
+grep -E " (401|403) " ~/docker-data/nginx-proxy-manager/data/logs/proxy-host-*.log | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
+```
+
+### Monitor Specific Service Access
+```bash
+# Jellyfin access
+grep "media.schweitz.net" ~/docker-data/nginx-proxy-manager/data/logs/proxy-host-*.log | tail -20
+
+# Nextcloud uploads (POST requests)
+grep "cloud.schweitz.net" ~/docker-data/nginx-proxy-manager/data/logs/proxy-host-*.log | grep "POST"
+```
+
+### Identify High-Traffic IPs
+```bash
+# Top 10 IP addresses by request count
+awk '{print $1}' ~/docker-data/nginx-proxy-manager/data/logs/proxy-host-*.log | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -10
+```
+
+### Monitor SSL Certificate Activity
+```bash
+# Certificate renewal attempts
+docker logs nginx-proxy-manager 2>&1 | grep -i "letsencrypt"
+
+# Certificate errors
+docker logs nginx-proxy-manager 2>&1 | grep -i "certificate" | grep -i "error"
+```
+
+### Track API Usage
+```bash
+# API endpoint access
+grep "/api/" ~/docker-data/nginx-proxy-manager/data/logs/proxy-host-*.log
+
+# Specific API endpoint
+grep "/api/login" ~/docker-data/nginx-proxy-manager/data/logs/proxy-host-*.log
+```
+
+## Security Monitoring
+
+### Suspicious Activity Patterns
+
+**Brute force attempts:**
+```bash
+# Multiple 401s from same IP (potential brute force)
+grep " 401 " ~/docker-data/nginx-proxy-manager/data/logs/proxy-host-*.log | \
+  awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | \
+  awk '$1 > 10 {print "Potential brute force from " $2 " (" $1 " attempts)"}'
+```
+
+**Directory scanning:**
+```bash
+# Looking for 404s (scanning for vulnerabilities)
+grep " 404 " ~/docker-data/nginx-proxy-manager/data/logs/proxy-host-*.log | \
+  grep -E "(wp-admin|phpmyadmin|admin|login\.php)"
+```
+
+**Unusual user agents:**
+```bash
+# Non-browser requests (potential bots/scrapers)
+grep -v "Mozilla" ~/docker-data/nginx-proxy-manager/data/logs/proxy-host-*.log | \
+  grep -v "curl" | tail -20
+```
+
+## Log Rotation
+
+**Automatic rotation configuration:**
+
+NPM handles basic rotation, but for long-term storage:
+
+```bash
+# Create logrotate config
+sudo tee /etc/logrotate.d/nginx-proxy-manager <<EOF
+/home/jpmschweitzer/docker-data/nginx-proxy-manager/data/logs/*.log {
+    daily
+    rotate 30
+    compress
+    delaycompress
+    notifempty
+    missingok
+    create 0644 root root
+    postrotate
+        docker exec nginx-proxy-manager nginx -s reload > /dev/null 2>&1 || true
+    endscript
+}
+EOF
+
+# Test logrotate config
+sudo logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.d/nginx-proxy-manager
+```
+
+**Manual log cleanup:**
+```bash
+# Archive old logs
+cd ~/docker-data/nginx-proxy-manager/data/logs/
+tar -czf logs-archive-$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz *.log
+mv logs-archive-*.tar.gz ~/backups/
+
+# Clean logs older than 30 days
+find ~/docker-data/nginx-proxy-manager/data/logs/ -name "*.log" -mtime +30 -delete
+```
+
+## Centralized Logging (Future Enhancement)
+
+**Option 1: Ship logs to external service**
+
+Use a log aggregator like:
+- Loki + Grafana (self-hosted)
+- Elasticsearch + Kibana
+- Splunk
+- Cloud services (Datadog, Loggly)
+
+**Option 2: Syslog forwarding**
+
+Configure NPM to forward to syslog:
+```nginx
+# Add to NPM custom nginx config
+access_log syslog:server=10.99.0.1:514,tag=nginx combined;
+```
+
+**Option 3: Promtail + Loki (Recommended)**
+
+Deploy Promtail container to tail NPM logs and send to Loki:
+```yaml
+# Future: stacks/promtail.yml
+services:
+  promtail:
+    image: grafana/promtail:latest
+    volumes:
+      - /home/jpmschweitzer/docker-data/nginx-proxy-manager/data/logs:/var/log/nginx
+      - ./promtail-config.yml:/etc/promtail/config.yml
+    command: -config.file=/etc/promtail/config.yml
+```
+
+## Compliance Logging
+
+**For audit trails, log these events:**
+
+### Access Events
+- ✅ All successful logins (200 responses to /login endpoints)
+- ✅ Failed login attempts (401/403 responses)
+- ✅ File downloads (GET requests with large response sizes)
+- ✅ File uploads (POST/PUT requests)
+- ✅ API calls (requests to /api/ paths)
+
+### Security Events
+- ✅ SSL certificate renewals
+- ✅ Configuration changes in NPM
+- ✅ Rate limit violations
+- ✅ Blocked IPs (403 responses)
+
+### Monitoring Events
+- ✅ Service downtime (502/503 responses)
+- ✅ Slow responses (response time tracking)
+- ✅ High traffic patterns
+
+## Alerting Setup
+
+**Create alerts for critical events:**
+
+### Using Uptime Kuma
+
+Configure HTTP(s) monitors in Uptime Kuma:
+- Monitor each public service
+- Alert on downtime
+- Track response times
+
+### Using Custom Scripts
+
+**Example: Alert on failed logins:**
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# /home/jpmschweitzer/scripts/monitor-failed-logins.sh
+
+THRESHOLD=10
+LOG_FILE="/home/jpmschweitzer/docker-data/nginx-proxy-manager/data/logs/proxy-host-*.log"
+
+# Count 401s in last 5 minutes
+RECENT_FAILURES=$(find ~/docker-data/nginx-proxy-manager/data/logs/ -name "proxy-host-*.log" -mmin -5 -exec grep -c " 401 " {} + | awk '{s+=$1} END {print s}')
+
+if [ "$RECENT_FAILURES" -gt "$THRESHOLD" ]; then
+    echo "ALERT: $RECENT_FAILURES failed login attempts in last 5 minutes" | \
+        mail -s "Security Alert: High Failed Login Rate" admin@schweitz.net
+fi
+```
+
+**Run via cron:**
+```cron
+*/5 * * * * /home/jpmschweitzer/scripts/monitor-failed-logins.sh
+```
+
+## Performance Monitoring
+
+**Track service performance via logs:**
+
+### Response Time Analysis
+```bash
+# Extract response times (if configured in NPM)
+grep "upstream_response_time" ~/docker-data/nginx-proxy-manager/data/logs/proxy-host-*.log | \
+  awk '{print $NF}' | sort -n | tail -20
+```
+
+### Bandwidth Usage
+```bash
+# Sum bytes sent per service
+awk '{sum+=$10} END {print "Total bytes: " sum " (" sum/1024/1024 " MB)"}' \
+  ~/docker-data/nginx-proxy-manager/data/logs/proxy-host-media*.log
+```
+
+### Most Accessed Endpoints
+```bash
+# Top 10 requested paths
+awk '{print $7}' ~/docker-data/nginx-proxy-manager/data/logs/proxy-host-*.log | \
+  sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -10
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Regular Log Review
+- ✅ Check NPM logs weekly for suspicious activity
+- ✅ Review SSL certificate status monthly
+- ✅ Archive logs older than 30 days
+- ✅ Monitor for unusual traffic patterns
+
+### Retention Policy
+- **Active logs**: 30 days (on SSD)
+- **Compressed archives**: 1 year (on HDD /mnt/media/backups/logs/)
+- **Long-term storage**: Ship to external service if needed
+
+### Privacy Considerations
+- ⚠️ Logs contain IP addresses (PII in EU)
+- ⚠️ Don't log full request bodies (may contain passwords)
+- ⚠️ Rotate/delete old logs per privacy policy
+- ⚠️ Secure log access (only admins via VPN)
+
+---
+
+**Summary:**
+- All external access logged in NPM
+- Logs accessible via UI, Docker, or files
+- Use for security monitoring and audit trails
+- Set up alerts for critical events
+- Regular log review and rotation

+
+**Root Cause:** Parsing methods in `config.py` weren't stripping quote characters
+
+**Fix Applied:**
+```python
+# Before:
+return [m.strip() for m in self.lightweight_models.split(",") if m.strip()]
+
+# After:
+return [m.strip().strip('"').strip("'") for m in self.lightweight_models.split(",") if m.strip()]
+```
+
+**Verification:**
+```bash
+✓ Total models: 11
+  ✓ gpt-3.5-turbo
+  ✓ gpt-4
+  ✓ gpt-4-turbo
+  ✓ gpt-4-code
+  ✓ gemma:2b        # No quotes!
+  ✓ gemma:7b        # No quotes!
+  ✓ mistral:7b      # No quotes!
+  ✓ gemma2:9b
+  ✓ mixtral:8x7b    # No quotes!
+  ✓ codestral:latest # No quotes!
+  ✓ codegemma:latest # No quotes!
+```
+
+**Result:** ✅ Issue completely resolved

+# Phase 2: Memory Systems Architecture
+
+**Status:** In Progress
+**Started:** 2025-11-13
+**Phase Goal:** Persistent 3-tier conversation memory with automatic consolidation
+
+## Overview
+
+The memory system provides persistent, intelligent conversation context using a three-tier architecture:
+
+1. **Tier 1 (Working Memory):** Fast in-memory buffer for recent turns
+2. **Tier 2 (Short-term):** SQLite database for summarized conversation history
+3. **Tier 3 (Long-term):** Qdrant vector store for semantic search across all conversations

+
+### Alternative Consideration: CasaOS
+
+**Choose CasaOS instead if:**
+- You want the absolute easiest experience
+- You prioritize beautiful UI over control
+- You're completely new to self-hosting
+- You want app-store simplicity
+- You can sacrifice some control for ease-of-use
+
+**Note:** You can also run both - CasaOS will recognize existing Docker containers managed by Portainer.
+
+---
+
+## Networking Recommendation
+
+**Primary Choice: Headscale**
+- Self-hosted Tailscale control server
+- Full privacy and control
+- Uses official Tailscale clients

+# Unified Dashboard & External Access Strategy
+
+> "One page to rule them all" - Unified interface for tower-of-joy services
+> Created: 2025-11-11
+
+## Overview
+
+This document defines the strategy for creating a unified web interface that provides access to all tower-of-joy services through a single page with tabbed navigation.
+
+## Solution: Organizr + Nginx Proxy Manager
+
+**Organizr** provides the unified tabbed interface
+**NPM** provides secure external access with SSL
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+Internet
+    ↓
+[DNS: home.schweitz.net]
+    ↓
+[Router: Port Forward 443 → 192.168.86.149:443]
+    ↓
+[Nginx Proxy Manager: 443]
+    ↓
+[Organizr: 9999] ←→ [Service Tabs via iframe]
+                        ├── Portainer (8001)
+                        ├── Uptime Kuma (3001)
+                        ├── Netdata (19999)
+                        ├── Heimdall (8888)
+                        └── More services...
+```
+
+## URL Pattern: Single Domain Approach
+
+**Recommended Pattern:**
+```
+https://home.schweitz.net → Organizr unified interface
+```
+
+**All services accessed through Organizr tabs:**
+- Click "Portainer" tab → loads in iframe
+- Click "Netdata" tab → loads in iframe
+- Click "Uptime Kuma" tab → loads in iframe
+
+**Why this pattern?**
+- ✅ True "one page" experience
+- ✅ Single SSL certificate
+- ✅ Single URL to remember
+- ✅ Centralized authentication
+- ✅ Simple to maintain
+
+## Alternative: Hybrid Subdomain Pattern
+
+If some services need direct access (bypassing Organizr):
+
+```
+https://home.schweitz.net            → Organizr (main interface)
+https://portainer.home.schweitz.net  → Direct Portainer access
+https://netdata.home.schweitz.net    → Direct Netdata access
+```
+
+**Requires:**
+- Wildcard DNS: `*.home.schweitz.net → 192.168.86.149`
+- Wildcard SSL cert OR individual certs per subdomain
+
+## Service Configuration in Organizr
+
+### Infrastructure Services (Primary Tabs)
+| Service | Internal URL | Tab Name | Notes |
+|---------|-------------|----------|-------|
+| **Portainer** | http://192.168.86.149:8001 | Portainer | Container management |
+| **Uptime Kuma** | http://192.168.86.149:3001 | Uptime | Service monitoring |
+| **Netdata** | http://192.168.86.149:19999 | Metrics | System metrics |
+| **Heimdall** | http://192.168.86.149:8888 | Dashboard | Alternative launcher |
+
+### Optional Services (Additional Tabs)
+| Service | Internal URL | Tab Name | Expose? |
+|---------|-------------|----------|---------|
+| **NPM Admin** | http://192.168.86.149:81 | NPM | Admin only - local access |
+| **Headscale** | http://192.168.86.149:8085 | VPN | Admin only |
+| **Ollama** | http://192.168.86.149:11434 | AI | API only, no UI |
+
+### Future Application Services
+| Service | Internal URL | Tab Name | Notes |
+|---------|-------------|----------|-------|
+| **Jellyfin** | http://192.168.86.149:8096 | Media | GPU transcoding |
+| **Nextcloud** | http://192.168.86.149:8082 | Cloud | File storage |
+
+## Iframe Embedding Challenges
+
+### Known Issues
+
+Some services block iframe embedding via `X-Frame-Options` header:
+- **Netdata**: Can be configured to allow embedding
+- **Portainer**: May require configuration
+- **Uptime Kuma**: Generally works fine
+
+### Solutions
+
+**Option 1: Configure services to allow embedding**
+Add to docker-compose environment:
+```yaml
+environment:
+  - X_FRAME_OPTIONS=SAMEORIGIN  # Allow same-origin iframes
+```
+
+**Option 2: NPM header manipulation**
+Configure NPM to strip/modify headers for internal access
+
+**Option 3: Organizr "direct link" mode**
+Services that don't work in iframes can open in new tab
+
+## Security Layers
+
+### Level 1: External Access (NPM)
+- HTTPS with Let's Encrypt SSL
+- External port 443 only
+- DDoS protection via Cloudflare (optional)
+
+### Level 2: Application Authentication (Organizr)
+- User authentication in Organizr
+- Role-based access control
+- SSO integration (optional)
+
+### Level 3: Service-Level Authentication
+- Each service keeps its own auth
+- Organizr can pass auth tokens (for supported services)
+
+### Level 4: Network Security (Headscale)
+- VPN access for sensitive admin tools
+- Public: Jellyfin, Nextcloud
+- Private (VPN only): Portainer, NPM, Netdata
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+### Phase 1: Deploy Organizr
+```bash
+make deploy-organizr
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Configure Organizr
+1. Access http://192.168.86.149:9999
+2. Complete setup wizard
+3. Create admin user
+4. Add tabs for each service
+
+### Phase 3: Configure NPM for External Access
+1. Access NPM admin: http://192.168.86.149:81
+2. Add proxy host:
+   - Domain: `home.schweitz.net`
+   - Forward to: `192.168.86.149:9999`
+   - Enable SSL with Let's Encrypt
+   - Force HTTPS redirect
+
+### Phase 4: Configure Router Port Forwarding
+```
+External Port 443 → Internal 192.168.86.149:443 (NPM HTTPS)
+External Port 80  → Internal 192.168.86.149:80 (NPM HTTP redirect)
+```
+
+### Phase 5: DNS Configuration
+Point `home.schweitz.net` to your public IP
+
+### Phase 6: Test & Secure
+- Test external access: https://home.schweitz.net
+- Verify SSL certificate
+- Test all service tabs
+- Configure Organizr authentication
+- Review security settings
+
+## Service Tab Recommendations
+
+### Homepage Tab
+- Quick status dashboard
+- Links to most-used services
+- System health indicators
+
+### Essential Tabs (Always Visible)
+- Portainer (container management)
+- Uptime Kuma (monitoring)
+- Netdata (metrics)
+
+### Application Tabs (After deployment)
+- Jellyfin (media)
+- Nextcloud (files)
+
+### Admin Tabs (Restricted)
+- NPM (reverse proxy config)
+- Headscale (VPN management)
+
+## Maintenance
+
+### Adding New Services
+1. Deploy service via Portainer/Docker Compose
+2. Add tab in Organizr settings
+3. Test iframe embedding
+4. Update this documentation
+
+### SSL Certificate Renewal
+- Automatic via Let's Encrypt (NPM handles this)
+- Check NPM dashboard for expiry dates
+
+### Security Updates
+- Watchtower auto-updates containers (Phase 4)
+- Review Organizr user access monthly
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Service won't load in iframe
+**Problem:** `X-Frame-Options` header blocking
+**Solution:** Configure service to allow embedding, or use "open in new tab" mode
+
+### External access not working
+**Check:**
+1. Router port forwarding configured (443 → 192.168.86.149:443)
+2. DNS pointing to correct public IP
+3. NPM proxy host configured correctly
+4. SSL certificate generated successfully
+
+### Authentication issues
+**Check:**
+1. Organizr user permissions
+2. Service-specific authentication (each service has own login)
+3. Consider implementing SSO for seamless experience
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+### Potential Upgrades
+- **Authelia**: Centralized authentication with 2FA
+- **Cloudflare Tunnel**: Avoid port forwarding entirely
+- **Custom Theme**: Brand Organizr to match preferences
+- **API Integration**: Show live stats in Organizr homepage
+
+---
+
+**Next Steps:**
+1. Deploy Organizr: `make deploy-organizr`
+2. Configure tabs for existing services
+3. Set up NPM proxy for external access
+4. Test the unified interface
