The Monstrosity

Not a rented cloud tier and not a black box you trust and forget — a stack built to be opened, understood, and grown. Storage is one organ among many. It's also where the rest of the atlas is meant to live: the log names Weaver and muse among the first tenants.

• 01 · The private line — a gigabit switch puts all three machines on one segment; machine-to-machine traffic never touches the open internet, and static leases keep anything from drifting on reboot.
• 02 · Fedora & the source of truth — the Fedora server anchors it; Samba pulls ten drives and three SSDs, scattered across boxes, into one shared namespace. Naming is decided before anything mounts.
• 03 · Docker, so nothing clashes — every service in its own container: NextCloud first, then whatever Weaver and muse expose as a web UI.
• 04 · Traefik — watches the Docker socket and routes new containers the moment their labels appear. No manual proxy edits, ever.
• 05 · Cloudflare Tunnel — the only front door. No inbound ports on the home firewall, full stop; everything else stays LAN-bound.

Isolate the layer before you debug it. Drive, share, container, proxy, tunnel — each keeps its own logs, and the log's troubleshooting section starts from dmesg and ends at cloudflared without ever guessing across layers.

Pre-ignition: this is the plan and the troubleshooting rules, not a running cluster — the ignition checklist is still unticked, and the drive-labelling scheme is an open thread. Cloudflare sits in the middle of external traffic; the log names that trade-off out loud and leaves it to be revisited.
