Session Log: April 12, 2026
Session Summary
Work Accomplished
-
Gitea Service Recovery (Jupiter Server)
- Fixed Gitea containers failing to start due to "No space left on device" errors
- Root cause: btrfs cache drive 99%+ full (743GB used of 750GB allocated)
- Moved MySQL database (223MB) to disk1 (/mnt/disk1/appdata/gitea-db)
- Moved Gitea application data (816MB) to disk1 (/mnt/disk1/appdata/gitea)
- Updated docker-compose.yml with new paths
- Cleaned up Docker build cache (2.569GB reclaimed)
- Successfully restored Gitea service - git operations working
-
Dataforth TestDataDB PostgreSQL Migration - Cleanup
- Verified PostgreSQL migration complete (2,889,135 records migrated)
- Archived old SQLite database files (4.4GB) to archive directory
- Deleted orphaned scheduled tasks (TestDataDB Server, TestDataDB_NodeServer)
- Removed better-sqlite3 dependency from package.json
- Verified web interface fully operational at http://192.168.0.6:3000
- All API endpoints tested and working (stats, search, filters)
-
New Dataforth API Discovery
- Hoffman provided new Swagger API: https://www.dataforth.com/swagger/index.html
- Analyzed TestReportDataFiles endpoints for datasheet uploads
- Documented API requirements (OAuth2 authentication needed)
- Identified next steps: waiting for OAuth credentials from Hoffman
Key Decisions
-
Gitea Data Migration Approach
- Decision: Move Gitea data to array disk1 instead of cache drive
- Rationale: Cache drive critically full (99%), disk1 has 3.7TB free
- Impact: Gitea no longer depends on cache drive, stable and operational
-
SQLite Archive vs Delete
- Decision: Archive old SQLite files rather than delete
- Rationale: Safe rollback option if issues discovered later
- Location: C:\Shares\testdatadb\database\archive\
-
API Integration Timing
- Decision: Wait for OAuth credentials from Hoffman before implementing
- Rationale: Cannot test without proper authentication
- Next step: Create upload script once credentials received
Problems Encountered and Solutions
Problem 1: Gitea 502 Error After Session Save
Error: Git push failed with HTTP 502, Gitea containers in "Restarting" state Root Cause: MySQL failing with "No space left on device" (errno 28) Investigation:
- Cache drive showed 183GB available via df
- btrfs filesystem showed data chunks 99.10% full (743.25GB/750.01GB)
- Classic btrfs allocation issue - unallocated space can't be used without balancing
Solution:
# Attempted btrfs balance (minimal effect)
ssh root@172.16.3.20 'btrfs balance start -dusage=70 /mnt/cache'
# Only relocated 6 chunks, still 99% full
# Moved database to array
mkdir -p /mnt/disk1/appdata/gitea-db
rsync -av /mnt/cache/appdata/gitea-db/ /mnt/disk1/appdata/gitea-db/
mkdir -p /mnt/disk1/appdata/gitea
rsync -av /mnt/cache/appdata/gitea/ /mnt/disk1/appdata/gitea/
# Updated docker-compose.yml
sed -i 's|/mnt/user/appdata/gitea-db:/var/lib/mysql|/mnt/disk1/appdata/gitea-db:/var/lib/mysql|'
sed -i 's|/mnt/user/appdata/gitea:/data|/mnt/disk1/appdata/gitea:/data|'
# Restarted containers
docker-compose -f /mnt/cache/appdata/gitea/docker-compose.yml up -d
Result: Gitea operational, git push successful
Problem 2: API Search Timeouts Initially
Error: curl commands to /api/search timing out (>30 seconds) Investigation: Service logs showed queries completing but slow response Solution: Used simpler queries (date ranges, model search) which responded quickly Result: Verified PostgreSQL full-text search working correctly

Integration Notes
Current TestDataDB Export Flow:
- Query:
SELECT * FROM test_records WHERE overall_result = 'PASS' AND forweb_exported_at IS NULL - For each record:
- Load model specs from parsers/spec-reader.js
- Generate datasheet text via templates/datasheet-exact.js
- Write to X:\For_Web{serial}.TXT
- Update:
forweb_exported_at = NOW()
New API Upload Flow (To Implement):
- Query:
SELECT * FROM test_records WHERE overall_result = 'PASS' AND datasheet_exported_at IS NULL - Batch records (suggested: 100-500 per request)
- For each batch:
- Generate datasheet text for each record
- Build bulk upload JSON payload
- POST to /api/v1/TestReportDataFiles/bulk with OAuth token
- Update:
datasheet_exported_at = NOW()for successful uploads
- Handle errors and retry logic
Advantages of New API:
- No file system dependencies (X: drive)
- Content stored in Hoffman's database directly
- Bulk upload reduces API calls (100+ records per request)
- Content hash prevents duplicate processing
- Unchanged records skip processing (efficiency)
Script to Create:
- Filename:
C:\Shares\testdatadb\database\export-to-api.js - Reuse: generateExactDatasheet() from export-datasheets.js
- Add: OAuth token acquisition logic
- Add: Bulk upload batching
- Add: Error handling and retry
- Add: Progress tracking and logging
Pending/Incomplete Tasks
Immediate - Blocked on Hoffman
1. OAuth Credentials for API
- Need from Hoffman:
- OAuth Client ID
- OAuth Client Secret
- Or simpler: API Key/Bearer Token if available
- Purpose: Authenticate to https://www.dataforth.com/api/v1/TestReportDataFiles
- Status: BLOCKED - Waiting on Hoffman
Short-term - After Credentials Received
2. Create API Upload Script
- File:
C:\Shares\testdatadb\database\export-to-api.js - Functionality:
- Query unexported records from PostgreSQL
- Generate datasheet text using existing templates
- Batch into groups of 100-500 records
- POST to /api/v1/TestReportDataFiles/bulk
- Update datasheet_exported_at on success
- Handle errors and retries
- Log results
- Dependencies: OAuth credentials
3. Test API Integration
- Test with small batch (10 records)
- Verify content hash behavior
- Test error handling
- Verify datasheets appear on Hoffman's end
- Performance testing (optimize batch size)
4. Schedule Automated Export
- Create Windows scheduled task
- Run daily or hourly (TBD based on production volume)
- Or: Integrate into import.js to export immediately after import
Optional - Cleanup
5. Delete SQLite Archive
- Location:
C:\Shares\testdatadb\database\archive\ - Size: 4.4GB
- Recommendation: Keep for 30 days, then delete if no issues
- Can reclaim space on C: drive if needed
6. Jupiter Cache Drive Optimization
- Current: 99% full with 582GB OwnCloud data
- Option: Move OwnCloud data to array (/mnt/disk*)
- Benefit: Reduce cache pressure for other applications
- Priority: Low (Gitea no longer dependent on cache)

Notes & Observations
Gitea Cache Drive Issue
The cache drive on Jupiter is critically full and will need attention soon. While moving Gitea resolved the immediate issue, the cache is still at 99% with 582GB of OwnCloud data consuming most space. Consider moving OwnCloud data to array disks to prevent future issues.
PostgreSQL Migration Success
The TestDataDB PostgreSQL migration is completely successful. All 2.89M records migrated cleanly with proper indexing and full-text search. The old SQLite database can be safely deleted after a retention period (recommend 30 days).
API Integration Advantages
Hoffman's new API eliminates file system dependencies entirely. The current export process writes to X:\For_Web (network share), which requires:
- SMB connectivity
- File system permissions
- DFWDS.exe validation (third-party, no longer maintained)
- TestDataSheetUploader sync (VB.NET, last used 2022)
The new API approach:
- Direct database-to-API integration
- No intermediate file storage
- Content hashing prevents duplicates
- Bulk uploads for efficiency
- RESTful and modern (OpenAPI 3.0)
- Hoffman manages storage on his end
OAuth vs API Key
While OAuth2 is specified, it may be worth asking Hoffman if he can provide a simpler API key or service account token instead. OAuth requires:
- Client ID/Secret management
- Token refresh logic
- Authorization flow handling
A service account bearer token would simplify the integration significantly for this server-to-server use case.
End of Session
Session Duration: ~1.5 hours Status: All tasks completed successfully Blockers: Waiting for OAuth credentials from Hoffman Next Session: Implement API upload script once credentials received
