nuc keeps only what needs its iGPU. blocky, privoxy and transmission-bt
moved to nas so the box can be powered off when not watching Jellyfin or
using the Spotify kiosk.
- /srv/media is now an NFSv4 mount from nas; jellyfin-server reads it
with shift=false (idmapped mounts are unsupported on NFS, as the
container doc already noted for CIFS) and readonly=true
- replication to nas is a systemd timer with Persistent=true, not cron —
an on-demand host misses its 03:30 window and cron cannot catch up
Two failures documented in full, both diagnosed from the wrong layer
first:
- booting with the TV connected and powered on kills the i915 probe
(drm_WARN_ON in intel_modeset_setup_hw_state), so /dev/dri never
appears, snd_hda_intel deferred-probes forever holding the PCI device
lock, and incusd blocks in sriov_numvfs_show — no container starts at
all, including LAN DNS. Identical on 6.12.107 and 6.12.105.
- the kiosk input gid mismatch is real but was NOT the cause of the
2026-08-30 outage (flat K400 batteries were); seatd opens input devices
as root, so kiosk group membership is not on that path. Records the
one-line raw capture that settles hardware-vs-software immediately.

nuc-seed.md -> nas-seed.md. The leg was designed around nuc's USB pool,
which is exactly the device it must not depend on. Target pool ks4backup
now lives on tank; nas becomes WG peer 10.8.0.22 and nuc's tunnel retires
once seeded — nuc no longer needs one at all, since transmission-bt (the
only other user) moved to nas with its own in-container tunnel.
ks4 needs no change: traffic arrives masqueraded as the wireguard
container whichever peer sent it.

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.
