- * Feed exporter for the CraftDeck public read-only mirror.
- *
- * Reads the live panel database (READ-ONLY) and writes a small, sanitised
- * SQLite "feed" file that the PUBLIC_READONLY dashboard serves from. The feed
- * contains ONLY:
- *
- *   metrics    – the sampler time-series (last 7 days)
- *   activity   – join/leave events only, as (id, ts, type, player); the
- *                free-text `detail` column (which can hold IPs on connect/
- *                blocked rows) is deliberately dropped
- *   feed_meta  – one small status JSON blob (running, online names, counts)
- *
- * It NEVER copies panel_users, approved_players, settings, notifications,
- * schedules or ping_samples, so none of those can leak to the public app.
- *
- * The file is written to a temp path and atomically renamed into place, so
- * readers never observe a half-written feed. No external dependencies — only
- * the built-in node:sqlite module.
- *
- * Env:
- *   SOURCE_DB    path to the live panel DB   (default: dev-data/app/craftdeck.db)
- *   FEED_PATH    path to write the feed to   (default: dev-data/feed/feed.db)

+# Apple container for local tests; x86_64 Docker for production
+
+The production target is an **x86_64 Linux host** running the normal Docker Compose
+stack. The Dockerfile uses BuildKit's target architecture when installing the Docker
+CLI and Compose plugin, so ARM64 local builds and x86_64 production builds each get
+the correct binaries. No architecture is forced in the production Compose file.
+
+The Mac development paths use Apple's official `container` CLI. Docker Desktop is
+not required. The local data folders are isolated from production data and ignored by Git.
+
+## Native world-server testing on macOS
+
+Prerequisites: Apple silicon, supported macOS, Apple's `container` installed and its
+system service running, Node 26, npm, Python 3.12+ (restore helper), and `npm ci` in
+`dashboard/`.
+
+```
+./scripts/apple-container-dev.sh
+```
+
+The control process runs on the Mac at **http://localhost:8081/network**. Credentials
+are generated once in `data/apple-native/panel.env` (username `admin`). That process
+must run on macOS to invoke Apple's CLI. Minecraft, backups and Velocity run inside
+Apple Linux containers. This is intentionally separate from the containerized UI preview.
+
+With `CONTAINER_RUNTIME=apple`, Worlds & Network uses:
+
+- `container image pull` and `container run` for runtime deployment;
+- `container inspect`, `stats`, `logs`, `exec`, `stop` and `start` for management;
+- a dedicated `craftdeck` virtual network, unless `APPLE_CONTAINER_NETWORK` overrides it;
+- Minecraft protocol health checks before reporting servers ready;
+- actual container IPs for backup RCON and Velocity backend routes;
+- explicit DNS (1.1.1.1 by default; set `APPLE_CONTAINER_DNS` for your resolver);
+- the same profile validation, forwarding authentication, backups and restore workflows.
+
+Start all routed servers before initially applying the gateway. Native VM IPs can
+change on every stop/start. Panel restart, deploy, snapshot and restore operations
+refresh backup RCON and running gateway routes automatically. Updating those routes
+restarts Velocity and disconnects its players, even if only one world changed.
+Stopped worlds are removed from native routes; an available world temporarily serves
+as the lobby if the chosen lobby is offline. If no routed world is ready, the gateway
+stops; start a world and apply routing to bring it back. After changing containers
+outside the panel, use Restart for each affected profile and apply routing again.
+Apple CLI does not implement
+Docker restart policies or Compose health scheduling: the adapter waits for startup,
+but does not provide a continuous crash/reboot supervisor. Use the production Docker
+stack for unattended hosting. A native snapshot uses macOS tar/Python and can be
+slower on shared mounts. Apple maps host files into each VM; filesystem ownership
+behavior can differ from the Linux production host.
+
+The original primary-server pages still expect their configured `MC_CONTAINER` and
+RCON endpoint. The local script creates no primary server; those pages remain offline
+until one is explicitly configured. The new network page is the local test surface.
+Primary `.env`/Compose configuration apply remains a Docker-only workflow.
+
+Stop individual test servers through the network page (this also stops their backup
+writer), or use `container stop --time 90 <name>`. Stop the gateway with
+`container stop craftdeck-velocity`. Ctrl-C stops the native control process; it does
+not stop already-running Minecraft containers. All test worlds persist under
+`data/apple-native/network/`.
+
+## Containerized panel preview
+
+For image/UI/API smoke testing without server orchestration:
+
+```
+./scripts/apple-container-preview.sh build
+./scripts/apple-container-preview.sh start
+```
+
+Open **http://localhost:8080/network**. The login is `admin`; the generated password is
+in `data/apple-preview/preview.env`. Stop it with:
+
+```
+./scripts/apple-container-preview.sh stop
+```
+

+## x86_64 production image
+
+Build the production architecture explicitly on the Mac:
+
+```
+container build --platform linux/amd64 --cpus 4 --memory 4G \
+  -t craftdeck:x86-local dashboard
+```
+
+Apple's Rosetta support can run that image for an additional local smoke test:
+
+```
+mkdir -p data/apple-x86
+container run -d --name craftdeck-x86-preview --arch amd64 --rosetta \
+  --cpus 2 --memory 1G -p 127.0.0.1:8082:8080 \
+  --env-file data/apple-preview/preview.env \
+  -v "$PWD/data/apple-x86:/preview" craftdeck:x86-local
+```
+
+This verifies an x86_64 Linux process on the Mac; it is not a performance benchmark
+of the real x86_64 server. On the Linux host, use the repository's normal setup and
+`docker compose up -d --build`. Network orchestration defaults to Docker there.

+# Orion managed deployment
+
+The authoritative Compose file, release lock, initial preparation script and OPNsense instructions are in `geneticglitch1/homelab-infra`, under `stacks/minecraft/`. Deploy that stack through Komodo on Orion. Do not deploy this repository's root Compose file on top of it.
+
+The release selects Minecraft 26.3, Java 25, Fabric loader 0.19.5, launcher 1.1.2 and exact Modrinth version IDs. Velocity 4.2.0 build 30 consumes TCPShield PROXY protocol; FabricProxy-Lite handles authenticated modern forwarding to the private backend. Offline mode, EasyAuth and the whitelist remain the existing authentication model. Check player UUIDs against a copied world before a migration.
+
+CraftDeck uses `PANEL_MANAGED=true`. Config, mod and file writes, Compose apply and world reset are rejected by the backend. The UI identifies managed mode. Console, player administration, metrics, power controls and backups remain available. These admin controls still have broad authority; managed mode prevents accidental configuration drift and is not a security boundary around the Docker socket.
+
+Persistent state lives in `/opt/minecraft/data/{mc,backups,dashboard,restore}`. CraftDeck mounts their common parent at `/server-data`; this is necessary for Linux rename operations during restore. The deployment lives in `/opt/minecraft/project`, mounted read-only at the same path. Never put a world under a disposable Komodo source checkout.
+
+Build the reviewed source commit on Orion using the infrastructure preparation script. It records Docker's local immutable image ID. Komodo uses that ID with `pull_policy: never`; a restart cannot pull a newer panel. Preparation refuses existing containers or an unknown world. It does not accept the Minecraft EULA or start services.
+
+The panel listens only at `192.168.1.88:8080`, reachable through LAN/VPN and the host firewall. Never forward this port on OPNsense or publish it with NPM. The Docker socket grants host control; keep the panel credentials private.
+
+## Restore and upgrade behavior
+
+A required safety backup failure aborts the operation. A backup request is successful only after a newly created archive passes a complete gzip/tar validation. Power, backup, restore and Compose operations share one reentrant queue within the panel process.
+
+Restores stop both Minecraft and the backup sidecar, validate paths and the managed deployment lock, unpack into a clean staging directory, then move the previous data aside without replacing the bind-mount root. Newer-only files are removed from the active world and retained with the previous data. Failure leaves writers stopped; inspect the recorded restore directory before recovery. Restored files retain the current server directory's ownership.
+
+The panel accepts only backups with the current release lock. For a different release, use a complete stopped backup and the matching deployment/image, following the infrastructure runbook. A world archive does not include the panel database, proxy state or host secrets. Use `cold-backup.sh` for the complete deployment and copy it off Orion.
+
+The root standalone Compose file uses the same restore mount layout. Existing standalone installs must recreate the dashboard with the new mounts and set `PROJECT_DIR` to the absolute host checkout path before using Apply or Restore. `scripts/setup.sh` fills that path for new installs. The manual restore fallback is documented in `scripts/restore.sh`; it stops the panel too, avoiding concurrency with web requests.

-# Public read-only mirror (`PUBLIC_READONLY`)
-
-CraftDeck is an **admin** panel: it mounts the Docker socket and the project
-directory, runs console commands, edits files, and manages mods. It must only
-ever be reachable on a trusted LAN/VPN (see [networking.md](networking.md)).
-
-`PUBLIC_READONLY=1` turns the **same image** into a locked-down, anonymous,
-read-only mirror that is safe to expose to the internet — a live "status page"
-for a portfolio. It cannot touch the server: no login, no Docker socket, no
-RCON, no project files, no secrets. It serves a pre-exported **feed** and

-Two independent guards keep it safe:
-
-1. **Middleware allowlist** (`dashboard/src/proxy.ts`) — default-deny. When the
-   flag is set, **every** path returns `404` unless it is on a tiny GET-only
-   allowlist. Non-GET methods are refused before anything else, so every
-   `POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE` route (console, power, files, mods, config, auth…)
-   is unreachable. `404` (not `401/403`) is used so the public deployment
-   never even hints an admin app exists.
-
-2. **Data isolation** — in public mode the sampler, log watcher, auth watcher,
-   scheduler, RCON client and Docker client are **never imported** (they are
-   loaded via dynamic `import()` only in the admin code paths — see
-   `dashboard/src/server/boot.ts` and the allowed route handlers). All reads
-   come from the feed file at `FEED_PATH` via `dashboard/src/server/feed.ts`.
-
-### The allowlist (enforced in `src/proxy.ts`)
-
-| Surface | Path | Source in public mode |
-|---|---|---|
-| Overview page | `GET /` | feed |
-| Players page | `GET /players` | feed |
-| Performance page | `GET /performance` | feed |
-| Health probe | `GET /api/health` | static |
-| Server status | `GET /api/server` | feed status blob |
-| Metrics history | `GET /api/metrics` | feed `metrics` table |
-| Activity | `GET /api/activity` | feed `activity` (join/leave only) |
-| Players | `GET /api/players` | feed status (names + counts only) |
-| Lag / tick health | `GET /api/lag` | feed `metrics` (no per-player ping) |
-| Live stream (SSE) | `GET /api/stream/events` | feed (metrics + join/leave frames only) |
-
-**Everything else → 404**, explicitly including: `/console`, `/access`,
-`/security`, `/mods`, `/backups`, `/files`, `/config`, `/schedules`,
-`/settings`, `/login`; all of `/api/auth/*`, `/api/admin`, `/api/approved`,
-`/api/notifications`, `/api/console`, `/api/server/power`, `/api/world`,
-`/api/mods*`, `/api/files*`, `/api/backups*`, `/api/config*`, `/api/schedules`,
-`/api/security`, `/api/settings*`, `/api/lag/healthreport`, and
-**`/api/stream/logs`** (the raw console stream). Public mode has **no login** —
-it is anonymous read-only, so there is no session to protect.
-
-## The feed
-
-`dashboard/scripts/export-feed.mjs` reads the live panel DB **read-only** and
-writes a separate SQLite file containing **only**:
-
-- `metrics` — the sampler time-series (last 7 days)
-- `activity` — **join/leave events only**, as `(id, ts, type, player)`. The
-  free-text `detail` column is dropped, so IP addresses that appear on
-  `connect`/`blocked` rows can never reach the feed.
-- `feed_meta` — one small status JSON (running, online names, counts, version)
-
-It **never** copies `panel_users`, `approved_players`, `settings`,
-`notifications`, `schedules`, or `ping_samples`. The file is written to a temp
-path and atomically renamed, so readers never see a half-written feed; the
-reader hot-reloads when the file's mtime changes. A status blob older than 5
-minutes is treated as "server offline" so a dead exporter can't show a stale
-"online".
-
-## Running it
-
-### Option A — compose sidecars (on the LAN box)
-
-The `public` profile adds two services (excluded from the normal `up`):
-
-```bash
-# normal admin stack (unchanged)
-docker compose up -d
-
-# add the public mirror + its feed exporter
-docker compose --profile public up -d
-
-# the mirror is now on http://<host>:8090  (override with DASHBOARD_PUBLIC_PORT)
-```
-
-- `feed-export` — reads `data/dashboard/craftdeck.db` (ro) → writes
-  `data/feed/feed.db` every `FEED_INTERVAL_SECONDS` (default 30).
-- `dashboard-public` — `PUBLIC_READONLY=1`, mounts **only** `data/feed` (ro).
-  No `docker.sock`, no `./:/project`, no `RCON_PASSWORD`, no
-  `PANEL_SESSION_SECRET`.
-
-To actually expose it, run `dashboard-public` on a separate untrusted host and
-ship `data/feed/feed.db` to it (rsync/scp/object storage). Put TLS + the
-`Secure` cookie concerns aside — there is no cookie — but do front it with a
-reverse proxy for HTTPS.
-
-### Option B — cron on the LAN box
-
-```cron
-# refresh the public feed every minute
-* * * * * cd /path/to/minecraft/dashboard && \
-  SOURCE_DB=../data/dashboard/craftdeck.db FEED_PATH=../data/feed/feed.db \
-  MC_VERSION=26.2 SERVER_TYPE=FABRIC node scripts/export-feed.mjs >/dev/null 2>&1
-```
-
-Then run the public dashboard container/image anywhere with
-`PUBLIC_READONLY=1` and `FEED_PATH` pointing at the copied `feed.db`.
-
-### Environment variables
-
-| Var | Where | Meaning |
-|---|---|---|
-| `PUBLIC_READONLY` | dashboard-public | `1` enables read-only mirror mode |
-| `FEED_PATH` | dashboard-public + exporter | path to `feed.db` |
-| `SOURCE_DB` | exporter | path to the live panel DB (read-only) |
-| `MC_VERSION`, `SERVER_TYPE` | exporter (optional) | shown on the status blob |
-| `FEED_INTERVAL_SECONDS` | feed-export sidecar | export cadence (default 30) |
-| `DASHBOARD_PUBLIC_PORT` | compose | host port for the mirror (default 8090) |
-
-## Security checklist (verified)
-
-| # | Check | Result |
-|---|---|---|
-| 1 | No `POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE` reaches any handler in public mode | **PASS** — `proxy.ts` refuses every non-GET before routing (`method !== "GET" && !== "HEAD" → 404`) |
-| 2 | Admin pages/APIs 404 (console, files, mods, backups, config, schedules, settings, access, security, admin, approved, notifications, world, power) | **PASS** — default-deny allowlist; curl matrix below |
-| 3 | Auth routes 404; no login in public mode | **PASS** — `GET /api/auth/me`, `POST /api/auth/login`, `GET /login` all 404 |
-| 4 | Raw console SSE (`/api/stream/logs`) unreachable | **PASS** — not on the allowlist → 404 |
-| 5 | `/api/stream/events` emits **only** `metrics` + join/leave; never notifications or console lines | **PASS** — notification listener not registered in public mode; `mc-event` filtered to `join`/`leave`; `detail`/IP stripped |
-| 6 | RCON / Docker / sampler modules never imported in public mode | **PASS** — grep shows no static `server/{docker,rcon,mc,sampler}` import in `boot.ts`, `api.ts`, or any allowed route; error classes live in `server/errors.ts` |
-| 7 | Feed excludes `panel_users`, `approved_players`, `settings`, `notifications`, `schedules`, `ping_samples`, and the activity `detail`/IP column | **PASS** — feed has only `metrics`, `activity(id,ts,type,player)`, `feed_meta`; leak scan for hashes/IPs/notification text found nothing |
-| 8 | `dashboard-public` has no docker.sock / project dir / RCON or session secret | **PASS** — `docker compose --profile public config` shows only `data/feed:ro` |
-| 9 | Admin mode unchanged when the flag is unset | **PASS** — auth still enforced (`/api/server`→401, `/console`→307→login); full panel services boot |
-| 10 | Committed `dev-data` cannot ship in an image | **PASS** — `dashboard/.dockerignore` excludes `dev-data` |
-
-### curl verification (booted with `PUBLIC_READONLY=1` + a generated feed)

-dev seed, not a production credential, but it is a hash nonetheless — it must
-never end up in a built image. `dashboard/.dockerignore` now excludes
-`dev-data`, and the public mirror never mounts it. Do not commit this file.

Velocity then uses modern forwarding, with the same secret as `FABRIC_PROXY_SECRET` in FabricProxy-Lite.
-for Fabric. The working path for this stack is **PROXY protocol v2** plus the
-**Proxy Protocol Support** Fabric mod.
 
-## Setup
+The reviewed deployment pins Minecraft 26.3 and Velocity 4.2.0 build 30. The direct Fabric `proxy-protocol-support` mod did not advertise 26.3 support at review time, so it is not used. The old `config/patches` files are legacy and are no longer mounted by the standalone Compose file. Do not combine that legacy direct-server guide with the Velocity deployment.
 
-1. **TCPShield panel** → your backend → enable **Proxy Protocol**.
+OPNsense must preserve the TCPShield source address and permit only the official IPv4 ranges from https://tcpshield.com/v4/. Host DOCKER-USER rules enforce the same restriction before trusted-LAN exceptions. Do not add game port 25565 to unrestricted public ports. Do not expose the backend, RCON, panel or a map port.
-2. **Mods page** → Recommended → add **Proxy Protocol Support** → Apply
-   (or append `proxy-protocol-support` to `MODRINTH_PROJECTS` in `.env` and
-   `docker compose up -d mc`).
-3. Nothing else — the mod's configuration is **enforced automatically on every
-   boot** by `config/patches/patch-set.json` (see below). Restart once after
-   installing so the patch applies:
 
-   ```bash
+The public Minecraft hostname is a DNS-only CNAME to the hostname assigned by TCPShield. An ordinary Cloudflare orange-cloud HTTP proxy is not a Minecraft proxy. Use the public protected hostname even from home; direct LAN joins intentionally fail on the protected proxy port.
-   docker compose restart mc
-   ```
 
-## Verifying it works
+Verify an external join, real player IP, EasyAuth registration, whitelist/UUID continuity and direct-origin rejection before inviting players. Configure TCPShield for the exact protected hostname and backend; account/plan controls and any account-specific verification steps must be completed in its dashboard.
 
-Watch the startup log (`docker compose logs -f mc`). You must see all three:
+Sources: [TCPShield documentation](https://docs.tcpshield.com/), [Velocity forwarding](https://docs.papermc.io/velocity/player-information-forwarding/), [OPNsense NAT](https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/nat.html).
-
-```
-Proxy Protocol Support is enabled!
-TCPShield integration enabled! Fetching official IPs...
-Successfully added 2 TCPShield IPs to the trusted proxy list.
-```
-
-Then join through your TCPShield domain — the console shows your **real IP**, and
-`docker compose ps` shows `mc` **healthy**.
-
-## How the config is managed (don't hand-edit!)
-
-The mod rewrites `config/proxy_protocol_support.json` at every startup, which
-silently clobbers hand edits. Instead, the server image applies
-`config/patches/patch-set.json` from this repo **before every server start**,
-enforcing:
-
-| Setting | Value | Why |
-|---|---|---|
-| `enableProxyProtocol` | `true` | decode PROXY protocol headers |
-| `whitelistTCPShieldServers` | `true` | auto-fetch TCPShield's proxy IP ranges — no hardcoding, survives their infra changes |
-| `proxyServerIPs` | `127.0.0.1` | (TCPShield's ranges are added automatically at runtime) |
-| `directAccessIPs` | localhost (`127.0.0.1`, `::1`) + private ranges (`10/8`, `172.16/12`, `192.168/16`) | container healthcheck + LAN/panel access |
-
-To change a value, edit the patch file in the repo and `docker compose up -d mc`.
-
-**First-boot note:** on a brand-new install the mod's config file doesn't exist
-yet when patches run, so the very first boot uses mod defaults; every boot after
-that is patched. One `docker compose restart mc` after first install settles it.
-
-## Security model
-
-PROXY protocol headers carry no signature, so anyone who finds your raw server IP
-could spoof client IPs — the mod prevents this with default-deny:
-
-- PROXY headers are only accepted from **TCPShield's published ranges** (auto-fetched)
-- Direct, header-less connections are only accepted from **localhost + LAN**
-- Everything else → `REJECTED unauthorized direct connection` in the log
-
-So occasional `REJECTED` lines from random public IPs are the wall working —
-that's scanner bots hitting your raw IP and bouncing. A `REJECTED ... /0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1`
-(IPv6 localhost) every few seconds means the container healthcheck is being
-blocked — that's exactly what the `::1` entry in the patch prevents; if you see
-it, the patch didn't apply (check `docker compose logs mc | head -50`).
-
-For belt-and-braces, also enable TCPShield's Advanced Firewall (panel → Network →
-Firewall), and consider host-firewalling port 25565 to TCPShield's ranges
-(`curl tcpshield.com/v4`) once everything works.
-
-## Gotchas
-
-- **Friends must connect via the TCPShield domain** — direct-IP connections from
-  outside your LAN are rejected by design once this is active.
-- If real players start bouncing with `REJECTED`, TCPShield may have changed
-  their IP ranges *and* the auto-fetch failed at boot — restart the server so it
-  re-fetches.

+# Worlds, maps, and a server network
+
+CraftDeck now has **Worlds & Network**, **Live Maps**, and a **Capabilities** guide.
+The original Overview, Players, Access, Performance, Schedules and other pages still
+manage the primary server. The network page manages additional independent servers;
+its Manage dialog scopes console, files, backups and restore to the selected server.
+
+## Quick workflow
+
+1. Open **Worlds & Network → Create server**. Create a Paper lobby, choose an exact
+   Minecraft version and matching Java runtime, and enter allowed account usernames.
+2. Save, then **Deploy**. This downloads the runtime and waits for Minecraft health.
+   Progress and failures appear in Operations even if you leave the page.
+3. Add another Paper or Folia world with a different seed. Both servers can run at once.
+4. Select the lobby under Network gateway, save, and **Apply routing**.
+5. Join the gateway's port, then use `/server <server-id>` to switch servers. IDs appear
+   on the cards. Optional hostname routes can enter a server directly through Velocity.
+
+The gateway defaults to **25566**, preserving the primary server's **25565** binding.
+To keep one public address at port 25565, your router can forward that external port
+into the gateway's host port 25566. Do not bind two services to the same host port.
+Changing the lobby and applying routing makes that world the network's entry point.
+It restarts the proxy and disconnects current connections; it is not a live migration.
+
+A proxy profile's game and RCON ports are not published. Velocity authenticates
+Minecraft accounts and uses modern forwarding with a shared secret; Paper/Folia
+are configured to verify that forwarding. All new servers enforce a whitelist.
+These identities differ from the primary server's offline/EasyAuth accounts. The
+panel does not migrate inventories or authentication databases between them.
+
+## Runtime choices and isolated worlds
+
+| Runtime | Connection | Content |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Paper | Velocity or direct | Paper-compatible plugins |
+| Folia | Velocity or direct | Plugins explicitly compatible with Folia |
+| Fabric / Forge / NeoForge / Quilt | Direct | Matching loader mods and clients |
+| Vanilla | Direct | Vanilla clients and datapacks |
+| Modrinth modpack | Direct | Exact pack/version, loader supplied by pack |
+
+Automatic modern forwarding configuration targets Paper/Folia **1.19+**. Fabric and
+modded proxy integrations require additional compatible mods and version-specific
+setup; this panel deliberately does not auto-route those profiles. A proxy cannot
+swap the client's installed modpack. Switching to an incompatible modpack requires
+changing the client installation and reconnecting.
+
+Each profile has a separate full data directory, including all dimensions, mods,
+plugin configs, inventories and logs. The Copy settings button creates a **fresh
+world**, not a clone of terrain. Change its seed or runtime before first deployment.
+After initialization, runtime, Minecraft version, Java, modpack version, route and
+seed are immutable in the profile editor. Create another profile to explore a new
+version or pack without converting existing terrain accidentally. There is no
+in-place downgrade or automatic world-conversion feature.
+
+Java 8, 17, 21 and 25 images are available as choices; choose the release required by
+your exact Minecraft/loader combination. Choosing a runtime does not verify that
+all uploaded mods support it. Modrinth modpacks are checked against the selected
+Minecraft version before deployment. Profile runtime images currently use Java tags;
+for reproducible production deployments, review and pin the generated image digests.
+
+Folia distributes independent regions across threads. It does not make every plugin
+thread-safe or guarantee a player count/TPS. Players clustered in one region, CPU
+contention and disk pressure can still cause lag. Allocate RAM for the sum of all
+running heaps, at least 1 GiB per server overhead, the proxy, maps and the host OS.
+
+## Maps
+
+Choose BlueMap or Dynmap on a supported profile. Deployment resolves a stable release
+advertising the exact Minecraft version and loader; it refuses deployment if no such
+release is found. It does not fall back to an incompatible JAR. For a manually installed
+renderer, leave automatic installation off and use its own configuration and ingress.
+
+- BlueMap: internal web port **8100**, 3D terrain rendering.
+- Dynmap: internal web port **8123**, 2D/isometric map rendering.
+- Each maps to its own **host loopback** port. Publish through an HTTPS reverse proxy
+  or use an SSH tunnel. Ports are not exposed on every network interface by default.
+- Save the resulting browser URL in the profile and open **Live Maps**.
+- BlueMap requires its own asset-download consent in its generated config. Stop the
+  server, edit it through Manage → Files, and restart after reviewing that setting.
+- Initial rendering can be expensive. Configure renderer threads, map dimensions,
+  player visibility, permissions, and privacy in the renderer's files.
+- Claims need an addon compatible with the renderer and claim plugin. No claims data
+  is fabricated by CraftDeck. The viewer displays the renderer's real output.
+
+The embedded viewer requires a working reachable URL; it does not prove map health.
+HTTPS pages cannot embed insecure HTTP content. Renderer CSP/framing headers can
+require opening the full map in its own tab.
+
+## Resource packs and content
+
+Set a direct ZIP URL, the file's SHA-1, an optional prompt and whether accepting the
+pack is required. Deploy applies these server properties. Use a publicly reachable
+static file compatible with the client version. The panel configures distribution;
+it does not host the ZIP or install client mods. Compute a checksum on macOS with
+`shasum -a 1 pack.zip`.
+
+Use comma-separated Modrinth slugs (optionally `slug:version-id`) for managed mods or
+plugins. Manage → Files can upload JARs into `mods/` or `plugins/`, and datapack ZIPs
+into `world/datapacks/`. Config editing and uploads require the server to be stopped.
+There is a 2 MB text editor limit and 100 MB upload limit. Uploads do not overwrite
+existing files. Use the profile's Console to manage whitelist entries, gamerules,
+weather, time, permissions and supported plugin commands. The saved profile whitelist
+is authoritative at deployment, so also update it when adding permanent players.
+
+## Backups, recovery and failures
+
+Every server has a dedicated backup sidecar with an interval and retention policy.
+The backup data and output directories belong to that profile only. Manual snapshots
+briefly stop Minecraft and the sidecar, write to a partial archive, verify its contents,
+then publish it as a completed snapshot. Writers resume afterward. Applying changes
+to an existing world requires a verified snapshot first; backup failure cancels apply.
+
+Restore verifies the archive before stopping writers, stages the data with the shared
+restore helper, and retains previous contents under `recovery/`. The server remains
+stopped after restore for inspection. Restart or deploy it once ready. Manual snapshots
+are recovery points; monitor their disk usage in addition to automatic retention.
+
+Operations are serialized with existing primary-server power/backup operations. Their
+status is persisted. After a panel crash, unfinished jobs are marked failed and are
+**not retried automatically**. Inspect actual container status and logs before retrying.
+An unsuccessful deploy can leave the selected server stopped or unhealthy; it does
+not claim success or automatically replace data. Proxy config retains a `.previous`
+copy before applying changes.
+
+Runtime storage (never commit):
+
+```
+data/dashboard/network.json              # profiles, gateway settings, jobs
+data/network/<id>/compose.json           # generated Compose + RCON credential
+data/network/<id>/data/                  # complete Minecraft server
+data/network/<id>/backups/               # this server's archives
+data/network/<id>/recovery/              # retained pre-restore data
+data/network/proxy/config/velocity.toml  # routes
+data/network/proxy/config/forwarding.secret
+data/network/proxy/data/                 # proxy runtime and plugins
+```
+
+Back up the registry and proxy configuration along with server archives. Local backups
+are not off-host disaster recovery. On the production Docker host, deployment expects the standalone primary
+server's bind-mounted `/data` directory and one user-defined Docker network. Komodo
+managed installations stay read-only and should be extended through homelab-infra.
+For native Mac testing using Apple’s container CLI, see [apple-container.md](apple-container.md).
+
+## What else is possible?
+
+The in-panel **Capabilities** guide distinguishes implemented features from addons:
+claims/towns, economies, cross-server inventories, permissions, rollback, anti-cheat,
+chunk pregeneration, voice chat, Discord bridges, Bedrock bridging, version translation,
+custom dimensions, minigames and off-host backups. Those integrations need their own
+compatible plugins, ports, databases and configuration; they are not preinstalled.
