Pipeline chosen: AWS CLI s3 sync (NOT rclone). rclone fought S3 region-discovery (needs ListAllMyBuckets/GetBucketLocation which least-priv reserved user lacks); AWS CLI works with object-only perms. |

NixOS module offsite.nix added (separate file; does NOT touch backup.nix): adds awscli2 to systemPackages, offsite-sync.service (Type=exec, RuntimeMaxSec=6h) + offsite-sync.timer (daily 23:00). "Fixed" initial Type=oneshot bug (RuntimeMaxSec ignored) -> Type=exec. |
flake check passed; rebuilt |

Rebuilt .13: AWS CLI v2.35.11 on PATH; service Type=exec RuntimeMaxSec=6h; timer active (next fire 23:00 tonight). |

BUG CAUGHT + FIXED: nightly runs had failed silently (env-helper used awk, missing in minimal systemd PATH → empty region → Invalid endpoint s3..amazonaws.com; zero objects uploaded). Fixed offsite.nix: added path = [ awscli2 bash gawk gnused gnugrep coreutils ] and switched creds parsing to grep/cut (no awk). |
journal: awk: command not found → fixed |
| P1 |
REBUILD FAILURES diagnosed: earlier nixos-rebuild runs had not actually switched (no new generations Jun→Jul; latest failed Permission denied on profile symlink = ran without sudo). Rebuilt with sudo → generation now system-145-link. |
verified: readlink /nix/var/nix/profiles/system → system-145-link |

REAL RUN TEST PASSED (2026-08-31): manual start ~45s → service Active, uploading real .jpg files; IP out 123.4M; S3 now holds photos/by_date: 95 objects / 120 MB (archive/rest + borg/.27 queue behind). Timer still armed for 23:00. |

Monitoring page built: gen-status.sh (on .13, /etc/nixos/gen-status.sh) gathers S3 object/byte counts per prefix, storage class, service state, timer, disk → self-contained HTML. systemd offsite-status.service+timer (every 15 min) + offsite-web.service (python http.server :8091). Script validated (shows 95 objects/0.12GB, next timer 23:00). |

Caddy block added on .35: offsite.lab.audasmedia.com.au → import basic-auth → reverse_proxy 192.168.20.13:8091. Validated + reloaded; backup Caddyfile.bak.20260831-094426. Wildcard DNS already resolves. |

Two bugs found + fixed: (1) port 8091 already used by langgraph-service docker (FastAPI {"detail":"Not Found"} on URL) → moved web server to :8095 (updated offsite.nix + Caddy). (2) generator wrote to $HOME/offsite-status.html (OUT env unset) → added environment.OUT=/var/www/offsite/status.html to offsite-status.service. |

MONITORING PAGE LIVE + VERIFIED: https://offsite.lab.audasmedia.com.au (basic-auth sam) → Caddy → .13:8095 → status.html. Local 200, URL returns 401 auth challenge (backend connected, no more 502). Page shows live data: 95 objects/0.12GB, photos 0.0% of 374.98GB, next timer 23:00, service state, disk. |
end-to-end verified |
| P1 |
502 root cause found + fixed: .13 NixOS firewall allowlist (allowedTCPPorts) did NOT include 8095 → Caddy (.35) connections to .13:8095 silently dropped → 502 in browsers despite local 200. Added 8095 to allowedTCPPorts in configuration.nix, rebuilt, verified .35→.13:8095 = 200 (2ms), URL = 401 gate, 0 timeouts/502s. |
