Project State -- Unraid Docker Manager

Current Position

• Milestone: v1.4 Unraid API Native
• Phase: 16 of 18 (API Migration) - Complete (5/5 plans)
• Status: Phase 16 complete, all 5 plans finished
• Last activity: 2026-02-09 — Phase 16-05 complete (main workflow migrated to GraphQL with hybrid batch update)

Project Reference

See: .planning/PROJECT.md (updated 2026-02-09)

Core value: When you get a container update notification or notice a service is down, you can immediately investigate and act from your phone.

Current focus: v1.4 Unraid API Native — replace Docker socket proxy with Unraid GraphQL API

Accumulated Context

Decisions

Decisions are logged in PROJECT.md Key Decisions table. Key decisions from v1.3 and v1.4 planning:

• [v1.4] Remove container logs feature entirely (not valuable enough to justify hybrid architecture)
• [v1.4] Remove docker-socket-proxy completely (clean single-API architecture)
• [v1.3] Descope to Phase 14 only — Phases 15-16 superseded by v1.4 Unraid API Native
• [v1.3] myunraid.net cloud relay for Unraid API (direct LAN IP fails due to nginx redirect)
• [v1.3] Environment variables for Unraid API auth (more reliable than n8n Header Auth)
• [Phase 15-02]: GraphQL normalizer keeps full Unraid PrefixedID (Container ID Registry handles translation)
• [Phase 15-02]: ALREADY_IN_STATE error maps to HTTP 304 (matches Docker API pattern)
• [Phase 15-02]: 15-second timeout for myunraid.net cloud relay (200-500ms latency + safety margin)
• [Phase 15]: Token encoder uses 8-char hex (not base64) for deterministic collision avoidance via hash window offsets
• [Phase 15]: Container ID Registry stores full PrefixedID (129-char) as-is for downstream consumers
• [Phase 16-01]: Use inline Code nodes for normalizer and registry updates (sub-workflows cannot cross-reference parent workflow utility nodes)
• [Phase 16-01]: Same GraphQL query for all 3 status paths (downstream Code nodes filter/process as needed)
• [Phase 16-01]: Update Container ID Registry after every status query (keeps mapping fresh for mutations)
• [Phase 16-02]: Restart as sequential stop+start (no native GraphQL restart mutation)
• [Phase 16-02]: ALREADY_IN_STATE errors map to HTTP 304 (idempotent operation tolerance)
• [Phase 16-02]: Format Result nodes unchanged (GraphQL Error Handler maps to existing patterns)
• [Phase 16-03]: 60-second timeout for updateContainer (accommodates 10GB+ images, was 600s for docker pull)
• [Phase 16-03]: ImageId field comparison determines update success (not image digest like Docker)
• [Phase 16-03]: Error routing uses IF node after Handle Update Response (Code nodes have single output)
• [Phase 16-04]: 5 identical normalizer nodes per query path (n8n architectural constraint)
• [Phase 16-04]: 15-second timeout for myunraid.net cloud relay (200-500ms latency + safety margin)
• [Phase 16-05]: Callback data uses names, not IDs - token encoding unnecessary (names fit within 64-byte limit)
• [Phase 16-05]: Batch size threshold of 5 containers for parallel vs serial update (small batches parallel, large batches show progress)
• [Phase 16-05]: 120-second timeout for batch updateContainers mutation (accommodates multiple large image pulls)

Pending Todos

None.

Blockers/Concerns

v1.4 architectural risks (from research):

• Container ID format translation critical (Docker 64-char hex vs Unraid 129-char PrefixedID)
• Telegram callback data 64-byte limit with longer IDs requires encoding redesign
• GraphQL response normalization must prevent cascading failures across 60+ Code nodes
• myunraid.net cloud relay adds 200-500ms latency (timeout configuration needed)

Next phase readiness:

• Phase 15 complete (both plans) — All infrastructure utility nodes ready
• Phase 16 complete (all 5 plans) — Full GraphQL migration successful
• Complete utility node suite: Container ID Registry, Token Encoder/Decoder, GraphQL Normalizer, Error Handler
• Hybrid batch update: parallel for small batches (<=5), serial with progress for large batches
• Phase 17 ready: Remove docker-socket-proxy from infrastructure
• No blockers
