### This box vs. odin
The machine this repo is edited on is `dev` — a **separate workstation**, not the server.
Scripts written here usually *target* odin (over SSH, or by being deployed into a
container/user-script on it). Never assume a script runs on the same host it was authored
on: take the target as a parameter or read it from config.
The machine this repo is edited on is `dev` (Tailscale `100.94.16.46`) — a **separate
workstation**, and in fact a VPS with a public IP, not a machine on the home LAN. Scripts
written here usually *target* odin. Never assume a script runs on the same host it was
authored on: take the target as a parameter or read it from config.
`?` — SSH access method to odin (no `~/.ssh/config` entry exists on this box yet), and
Tailscale is the **only** path from `dev` to odin — if it is down, nothing below resolves.
`?` — still unconfirmed: the SSH login to odin (no `~/.ssh/config` entry on this box) and
where deployed scripts are expected to live on the Unraid host.
### Sibling repos on `git.bergerhouse.net`
`luckberg/` holds `scripts` (this repo), `familysync`, `unraid-docker-manager`,
`azure-epac`, `_cargo-index`. Two are load-bearing context:
- **`unraid-docker-manager`** — n8n + Telegram bot managing odin's containers. The
authoritative source on the Unraid GraphQL API and container polling; distilled into
[docs/odin-access.md](docs/odin-access.md).
- **`familysync`** — the origin of most of the stack facts in the table above.

# Accessing odin
Reference for reaching the Unraid host (**odin**) from this workstation (`dev`) and
driving its API. Everything here was verified from `dev` on 2026-08-15; the "Verified"
column says how.
Related repo: **`luckberg/unraid-docker-manager`** on `git.bergerhouse.net` — an n8n
Telegram bot that manages odin's containers. It is the origin of most of the API detail
below and is worth reading before writing anything new against the Unraid API.
---
## Network path: Tailscale
`dev` and odin are both on the tailnet. `dev` is a **VPS** (public IP `51.222.234.162`),
*not* a machine on the home LAN — Tailscale is the only path to odin.
| Node | Tailscale IP | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `dev` | `100.94.16.46` | this workstation (linux) |
| `odin` | `100.101.253.105` | the Unraid host (linux) |
Other tailnet nodes seen: `duplicati`, `experience` (windows), `fedora`, `nusgwvm`,
`salt`, `google-pixel-8-pro`.
**A subnet route is advertised for the home LAN.** odin's LAN address `192.168.90.103` is
reachable from `dev` and routes over `tailscale0`:
```
$ ip route get 192.168.90.103
192.168.90.103 dev tailscale0 table 52 src 100.94.16.46
```
Both the tailnet IP and the LAN IP answer at ~34 ms RTT — the same path. This matters:
the `myunraid.net` URL below looks like a cloud relay, but **DNS resolves it to the
private `192.168.90.103`**, so traffic goes direct over Tailscale and never leaves the
tailnet. If Tailscale is down, none of it is reachable.
---
## WebGUI / API endpoint
```
https://192-168-90-103.87c90a69c53e7197560c778a63f483e675130f2a.myunraid.net:8443/
```
The hostname encodes odin's LAN IP with dashes, under a per-server hash on `myunraid.net`.
This is the **canonical vhost** — not merely a convenience alias. Use it for everything.
### Why the plain LAN IP does not work
Both failure modes are real and confirmed:
| Attempt | Result | Verified |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `https://192.168.90.103:8443/graphql` | **404** from nginx | curl |
| `http://192.168.90.103/graphql` | **302** → the `myunraid.net` URL | curl |
| `https://<myunraid-host>:8443/graphql` | **200**, GraphQL responds | curl |
nginx only serves `/graphql` on the `myunraid.net` `server_name`; the raw IP vhost returns
404. Plain HTTP redirects to that hostname — and **the redirect strips the `x-api-key`
header**, so a client that follows redirects authenticates as nobody. Always call the
`myunraid.net` URL directly rather than relying on a redirect.
### TLS caveat — correcting the other repo
`unraid-docker-manager` states "Valid certs via myunraid.net — no SSL ignore needed."
**That is not true from `dev`.** Verification fails here:
```
depth=1 C=US, O=Let's Encrypt, CN=YR1
verify error:num=20:unable to get local issuer certificate
depth=0 CN=*.87c90a69c53e7197560c778a63f483e675130f2a.myunraid.net
```
The leaf is a genuine Let's Encrypt wildcard, but the chain presents an intermediate
(`YR1`) that this box's CA bundle (`ca-certificates 20250419`) cannot chain to a trusted
root — either the server omits the intermediate or the bundle predates it. The cert is not
forged; the chain is incomplete *for this client*.
Practical consequence: **`curl` needs `-k` from `dev`**, and any script that talks to odin
must either pass the insecure flag or pin/supply the issuer. n8n running *on* odin may
well verify fine, which is likely why the other repo's claim held there. Prefer supplying
the missing intermediate over making `-k` a permanent habit — `-k` disables verification
entirely, which on a tailnet is a tolerable but real weakening.

## Unraid GraphQL API
- **Endpoint:** `{UNRAID_HOST}/graphql`, POST, where `UNRAID_HOST` is the `myunraid.net`
base URL **without** the `/graphql` suffix.
- **Auth:** `x-api-key: <key>` header.
- **Availability:** native in Unraid 7.2+ (odin is on 7.2); 6.97.1 needs the Connect plugin.
Unauthenticated requests return HTTP **200** with a GraphQL error body — not an HTTP 401:
```json
{"errors":[{"message":"Invalid CSRF token","extensions":{"code":"UNAUTHENTICATED",
"originalError":{"error":"Unauthorized","statusCode":401}}}],"data":null}
```
**Never treat HTTP 200 as success.** Always inspect `response.errors[]`.
### Polling running containers
```bash
curl -sS -k -X POST "${UNRAID_HOST}/graphql" \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H "x-api-key: ${UNRAID_API_KEY}" \
-d '{"query":"query { docker { containers { id names state } } }"}'
```
```json
{"data":{"docker":{"containers":[
{"id":"<server_hash>:<container_hash>","names":["/n8n"],"state":"RUNNING"}
]}}}
```
Field behaviours that bite:
- `state` is **UPPERCASE**`RUNNING`, not `running`.
- `names` is an array and entries are **`/`-prefixed** — `/n8n`, not `n8n`.
- `id` is a `PrefixedID`: `{server_hash}:{container_hash}`, two 64-char SHA-256 hex
strings joined by a colon. The server half is identical for every container on odin.
- **`isUpdateAvailable` does not exist** in the 7.2 schema, despite appearing in that
repo's earlier research. Introspect before relying on any field.
### API keys
Not present on this box — `.env.unraid-api` is gitignored and absent from the clone. Create
a key scoped to what the script actually needs:
```bash
unraid-api apikey --create --name "<name>" --permissions "DOCKER:UPDATE_ANY" --json
```
Or WebGUI → Settings → Management Access → API Keys. Store it in the collection's own
`.env`, never in git.
---
## Gotchas carried over from `unraid-docker-manager`
- **Each Bash tool call is a fresh shell.** Source the env file in the *same* command
chain as the request: `. .env.unraid-api; curl ...`. A separate `source` call is lost.
- **Large API responses:** save to a temp file before parsing; piping a 400 KB body
straight into `python3 -c` fails silently.
- Docker API `204 No Content` means success with an empty body.
