# irv-ml1 weight cleanup (782 GB) + Homepage brought under version control

Two unrelated housekeeping jobs from the same session, both with durable lessons.

## irv-ml1 — 782 GB reclaimed

Root was at **92%** (148 G free), storetank **86%**. Now **64%** (635 G free) and
**74%** (477 G).

**Tier 1 — dead weights, 286 GB.** `/storetank/llm-models/Storage` (**217 G**, 22
GGUF repos, atimes Jan–May **2025**) plus `models--MaziyarPanahi--WizardLM-2-8x22B-GGUF`
(44 G) and `models--h2oai--h2ogpt-4096-llama2-13b-chat` (25 G). The 217 G pile had
**zero consumers** — no llama-swap, no llama.cpp, no textgen running *or installed*,
not even a stopped container. The fleet moved to vLLM/NVFP4 seats on ana-ml2 and
nobody opened that shed for 15 months. Re-verified the consumer check immediately
before deleting, not just during the audit.

**Tier 2 — regenerable caches, 194 GB.** `uv` 65 G + 60 G, `pip` 31 G + 8.7 G,
`modelscope` 29 G (mtime **2024-04-23**).

**Tier 3 — retired stacks, 302 GB** (operator: "those were old days… we're a UV
fleet now"): `/opt/fluxgym` 64 G, `/opt/ComfyUI` **native** 41 G, `/opt/stablediffusion`
28 G, `/opt/alltalk` 19 G, `/opt/o-textgen` 12 G, `/opt/sdnext` 3 G, `/opt/xttsv2`
1.8 G, `tabbyAPI` 3.1 G, **`miniconda3` 130 G**.

### The lesson: one dead-looking app pinned three delete targets

`lsof +D` per path found **PID 281192 — fluxgym, up 42 days, listening on
0.0.0.0:7860** — holding 15 open handles into `miniconda3/envs/vllm` (stale
opencv wheels) **and 41 into `/opt/ComfyUI`**. Deleting miniconda underneath it
would have half-broken a live listener in a way that surfaces only at its next
restart. Stopped it by **explicit PID** (never `pkill -f` — handle-blind),
verified :7860 released and handles at zero, *then* deleted.

⚠ **Name collision that nearly cost a production service:** `/opt/ComfyUI` is a
*native* install; the ComfyUI that actually serves (:8188, 200 OK) is the **Docker
`mmartial` container** reading `/worktank/comfyui`, and arbo's `comfy_engine` runs
from uv. Checking open handles **per path** is what separated them — the earlier
"not running" read would have deleted the wrong thing.

⚠ **`df` lags an async ZFS free.** Right after the 217 G delete, storetank still
showed 86%/261 G — the exact shape of a snapshot-retention problem. It wasn't
(`zfs list -t snapshot` empty); second check showed 477 G at 74%.

All 16 containers and both systemd services verified healthy afterward.

## Homepage under version control

`ghcr.io/gethomepage/homepage` on **esh-docker-vm:5100** was the one stack whose
config lived only on the host. Its version history was **six hand-rolled
`services.yaml.bak-*` files**. Now `stacks/homepage/` (compose + 9 config files +
`.env.example` + README), deployed via `deploy-stack.sh`; `.bak` files gone.
105 cards across 19 groups, no empty groups.

⚠ **I claimed ana-docker wasn't wired into `docker.yaml`. It already was** —
`ana-pfi-docker: 10.250.50.70` — and I built a theory on a `tail` that truncated
the top of the file. All five engines were discovering correctly the whole time.

**Corrections landed:** `ANA-Firewall` said "Fortigate 81F" → it is a
**FortiGate-80F, FortiOS 7.2.10** (verified against the device); `NH3-Ansible` →
**NH3-ExtDev** (10.100.50.42 is nh3-extdev, successor to the retired nh3-ansible);
dropped the `UltraSeedbox` layout group (nothing provides it).

⚠ **`HOMEPAGE_ALLOWED_HOSTS` matches host AND port.** `10.0.50.45` did **not**
cover `http://10.0.50.45:5100/` — the container log carried `Host validation
failed` while the Traefik hostnames worked. Fixed; direct IP:port now 200.
`.env` was **mode 644** holding Plex + Jellyfin API keys → now 600.

⚠ **Homepage renders client-side** — grepping the served HTML to verify a config
change gave two false readings (a stale prerender, then an empty page).
`GET /api/services` is the honest instrument, and config changes need a
**recreate**, not a restart (a restart keeps the cached render in the writable
layer).

⚠ `deploy-stack.sh` runs rsync with `--delete` — alongside the six `.bak` files it
also removed a host-side `README.md` in the conf dir. Content survived (it is now
in the repo README) but that was a side effect, not a plan.
