Prime's ruling: basic auth saved in the browser, mesh-only access. basic_auth argon2id with the account hash in a root:caddy file outside git (plaintext vaulted). After auth, Tailscale-User-Login is set from the authenticated user and Authorization is deleted, since the kernel's human path refuses requests that carry it. Removed svos-whois-auth (every mesh node is login pfi). Verified from a mesh peer against a temporary header echo: 401 without/with wrong credentials, 200 with exactly one Tailscale-User-Login: Vuong and no forged or Authorization headers upstream.
Prime's ruling 2026-10-05 (relayed by albok-dev, confirmed directly) replaces
the 2026-09-26 simple-shuffle load-share for embeddings only; the reranker
groups are unchanged. Routing uses LiteLLM per-deployment `order` (semantics
read at source in v1.97.0): lowest order among healthy deployments, and a
failed request retries at the next order.
Verified after the restart (43 s gateway outage): 6/6 calls per alias landed
on its primary. With nh3-ml1 tei-embed stopped, qwen3-embedding-bulk served 6/6
from esh-ml1 with 200s; once nh3-ml1 was back, bulk returned 6/6 to nh3-ml1.
The albok-service key now covers qwen3-embedding-bulk (200); the Nemi key does
not (403).
albok-service leaves nh3-docker before unit 4 puts the personal vault and
licensed books into restricted wings. On nh3-docker, portainer, portainer_agent,
dockge (socket rw) and dockerd on plaintext tcp/2375 were each root over
/srv/albok. The new host runs only albok-service: no socket containers and no
TCP Docker API, so its Homepage tile is a static services.yaml entry.
- nh3-pve-2: vmbr0 made VLAN-aware (applied by reboot, no guests running);
pbs-ana storage in the new namespace nh3-pve-2, plus a 21:30 vzdump job
(pbs-nh3's recursive sync mirrors it)
- VM 110 nh3-albok, 10.100.50.44 on VLAN 50, Debian 13 cloud-init, 4 vCPU
x86-64-v3 / 12 GiB / 100 GB; built to fleet conventions (vh 1000,
infra-ops 850, docker 851)
- compose: mem_limit 4g -> 8g, homepage labels removed; host port 8392 kept
- cutover by tar stream, verified by digest (contents plus owner, group, mode,
mtime and type identical); albok.nh3.internal now points at nh3-albok
- old /srv/albok stays on nh3-docker (container removed, compose renamed)
until acceptance and the operator's approval to delete it
- sudo-io archive hosts and ops-log STACK_HOSTS include nh3-albok
