# Milestone v1.3: Unraid Update Status Sync

**Status:** ✅ SHIPPED 2026-02-09 (descoped)
**Phases:** 14 (1 phase, 2 plans)
**Original scope:** Phases 14-16 — Phases 15-16 dropped (superseded by v1.4 Unraid API Native)

## Overview

Established Unraid GraphQL API connectivity from the n8n container, enabling native Unraid API integration. Originally scoped to sync container update status back to Unraid after bot-initiated updates (Phases 14-16), but descoped to Phase 14 only when the user decided to replace the Docker socket proxy entirely with Unraid's API — making the sync approach unnecessary.

## Phases

### Phase 14: Unraid API Access

**Goal:** Validate GraphQL API connectivity and establish secure authentication from n8n container to Unraid host.

**Depends on:** Nothing (first phase of milestone)

**Requirements:** INFRA-01, INFRA-02, INFRA-03

**Success Criteria** (what must be TRUE):
1. n8n container can successfully reach Unraid's GraphQL API endpoint via HTTP request
2. Unraid API key exists with Docker update permission and is securely stored in gitignored `.env.unraid-api`
3. Container ID format is documented and verified via test GraphQL query
4. Test GraphQL query can list containers and return expected data structure

**Plans:** 2 plans

Plans:
- [x] 14-01-PLAN.md — Credential infrastructure and Unraid GraphQL test workflow nodes
- [x] 14-02-PLAN.md — GraphQL API contract documentation and connectivity verification

### Phase 15: Single Container Sync (DROPPED)

**Status:** Superseded — v1.4 Unraid API Native eliminates need for separate sync.

**Original Goal:** After bot updates a single container via text command or inline keyboard, Unraid automatically clears the "update available" badge without user intervention.

### Phase 16: Batch Sync & Documentation (DROPPED)

**Status:** Superseded — v1.4 documentation will cover the full Unraid API migration.

**Original Goal:** Batch update operations sync all updated containers to Unraid efficiently, and users can set up Unraid sync integration from documentation alone.

## Milestone Summary

**Key Decisions:**
- Use myunraid.net cloud relay URL instead of direct LAN IP (nginx redirect strips auth headers)
- Environment variables (UNRAID_HOST, UNRAID_API_KEY) instead of n8n Header Auth credentials (more reliable)
- Dual credential storage (.env.unraid-api + n8n env vars) mirroring existing .env.n8n-api pattern
- Descope to Phase 14 only — Phases 15-16 superseded by v1.4 Unraid API Native approach

**Issues Resolved:**
- Unraid GraphQL API connectivity verified (myunraid.net cloud relay is the working approach)
- Container ID format discovered: `{server_hash}:{container_hash}` (128-char SHA256 pair)
- Schema corrections: `isUpdateAvailable` does not exist, `state` is UPPERCASE, `names` prefixed with `/`

**Issues Deferred:**
- SYNC requirements (all 6) — superseded by v1.4 Unraid API Native
- Documentation requirements (DOC-01, DOC-02) — deferred to v1.4

**Technical Debt Incurred:**
- None — clean foundation for v1.4
