Phase 03 Plan 01: Basic Container Actions Summary

Single-match container actions (start/stop/restart) execute immediately via Docker API POST calls with graceful timeout

Performance

  • Duration: 12 min
  • Started: 2026-01-30T10:00:00Z
  • Completed: 2026-01-30T10:12:00Z
  • Tasks: 3
  • Files modified: 1

Accomplishments

  • Action command routing for start/stop/restart patterns
  • Fuzzy container matching with case-insensitive substring search
  • Docker API POST calls for container lifecycle actions
  • HTTP status code handling (204 success, 304 already-in-state, error codes)
  • Error handling for Docker connection failures and action errors

Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

  1. Task 1: Add action command routing to workflow - 4848e7d (feat)
  2. Task 2: Implement container matching and action execution - f466a29 (feat)
  3. Task 3: Handle action errors gracefully - 2bd90c8 (feat)

Files Created/Modified

  • n8n-workflow.json - Extended with action branch: Parse Action, Docker List for Action, Match Container, Check Match Count, Build Action Command, Execute Action, Parse Action Result, Send Action Result, error handlers

Decisions Made

  • Treat HTTP 304 (container already in desired state) as success - user doesn't need to know it was already stopped/started
  • Use 10-second timeout (?t=10) for stop/restart to allow graceful shutdown
  • Route by matchCount with explicit error check (matchCount < 0) for Docker connection failures
  • Multiple match placeholder returns message indicating confirmation will come in next update

Deviations from Plan

None - plan executed exactly as written.

Issues Encountered

None

User Setup Required

None - no external service configuration required.

Next Phase Readiness

  • Single-match actions fully functional
  • Ready for Plan 03-02: Confirmation flow for multiple matches
  • Inline keyboard buttons will use HTTP Request node (not native Telegram node) per RESEARCH.md
