Builds the box that ends the usb4t dropouts: the JMicron bridge was the
least reliable device in the setup and it held the intended off-site copy
of ks4. The 4 TB now sits on direct SATA as pool `tank`.
- OS on mdraid RAID1 across two 120 GB SSDs (Intel 330 + Toshiba Q300),
both ESPs bootable; `incus` ZFS mirror on their tails, ~22% left
unallocated as over-provisioning
- media at /export/media, exported read-only over NFSv4 to nuc
- transmission-bt moves here (its WireGuard tunnel is in-container, so
ks4 needed no change) and writes to the dataset locally
- backup pools nucbackup / ks4backup / nasbackup
- monitoring live: msmtp (submission+auth, verified 250), zed with
NOTIFY_DATA, zpool-health.sh every 15 min, smartd on all three disks
Traps recorded because none of them point at their own cause: booting
with the display active kills the i915 probe and wedges incus; d-i picks
grub-pc vs grub-efi from how the installer booted; `incus storage create`
hangs forever on a mountpoint=none dataset; the BMC is deliberately never
cabled, so there is no out-of-band console.

Aug 29 16:22 the enclosure dropped again despite the new cable, pool
suspended, and ZED sent nothing (suspended pools keep the vdev ONLINE;
data-class events were muted). Enclosure replacement is now the prime
candidate and a gate before the pool hosts the ks4 off-site leg.

The metadata/file errors were artefacts of the interrupted writes, not
corruption. The 2.5h scrub doubled as a soak test of the new cable.

Records the working chain and the two dead ends: port 25 gets the mail
rspamd-rejected (dynamic home IP, no SPF alignment), and the missing
PTR delays the 587 greeting enough that short-timeout probes look like
a firewall block. Credentials live only in /etc/msmtprc (600).

Nightly replication had been failing since Aug 17 behind a misleading
incus error; root cause is a JMicron USB bridge dropping off the bus
(61 disconnects in 30 days) and suspending the pool — the disk itself
is SMART-clean. Records the recovery (clear/scrub), the damage, the
ordered fixes, and why nothing alerted: zed was running without an MTA
on the host.

- nuc/README.md and ks4/README.md carry the host sections (+ network
flows) that lived in the top-level README; links rebased
- top README: repo links (doc/scripts on git.lutran.fr), index points
at the new per-host pages
- cross-repo references now use https://git.lutran.fr/julien/scripts
instead of relative ../scripts paths that resolve nowhere
- plakar-s3-data.md and plakar-incus-integration.md marked SUPERSEDED
/ RETIRED with pointers to restic-backup.md; their measurements and
rationale kept
- install.md, local-backup-cron.md, incus-copy.md: crontab sections
updated to the live schedule (01:00 replicas, 05:00 restic, Sun
maintenance); retired legs labelled as such
- restic-backup.md: status live, cutover recorded, post-GC memory
estimate, seed plan dated
- seafile-gc.md: online GC noted, stale 'crons commented out' removed
- ks2/: what-ks2-does-today rewritten (nothing writes to it any more),
legs table and gates reflect restic, decommission steps updated
- db-exclude replaces the plakar-era config name (script keeps a
fallback)

scp a .torrent into /srv/media/.watchdir and Transmission auto-downloads
it. Documents the settings (watch-dir-force-generic + trash-original),
the correct active config path (--config-dir .../info), and the perms.

Update host NIC/interfaces (gw + DNS to public 1.1.1.1/9.9.9.9, no
container dependency), fix transmission-bt kill-switch routes, and add a
note that DHCP instances self-heal while static ones (privoxy,
transmission-bt) must be updated by hand. Also spell out the macvlan
test-from-inside/external-host rule.

Add udev rule + oneshot service + script on nuc that restart the
container kiosk when the Logitech Unifying receiver is replugged, since
hotplug uevents don't cross into the container's netns and cage only
enumerates input at startup.

Applied live to the 5 running containers; install scripts and the
post-install checklist now include the timedatectl step.

README with instance tables and nuc<->ks4 network flow chart;
per-container install/troubleshooting docs for nuc (jellyfin
server/client, transmission-bt, bare-metal reinstall) and the
ks4 two-leg backup scheme (incus-copy over wireguard).
