## Work Completed - Chronological

### Phase 1: Cleanup Planning & Execution (15:24-16:11)

**Audit Performed:**
```bash
# Connected to Pavon server
ssh root@172.16.1.33

# Found storage usage:
df -h /mnt/user
# Result: 62TB used, 59TB free (51% capacity)

# Audited camera footage
find /mnt/user/Storage -name "Event2022*.avi" -o -name "Event2023*.avi"
# Identified: 184,120 files (25.2TB) from Dec 2022 - Mar 2023
```

**Cleanup Script Created:**
- Location: /root/pavon_cleanup.sh (on Pavon server)
- Features: Dry-run mode, logging, progress tracking, safe deletion
- Log Directory: /root/cleanup_logs/

**Execution Timeline:**
1. 15:24 - Dry-run preview executed
2. 15:26 - Preview showed 184,120 files, 25.2TB to delete
3. 15:26 - Executed actual deletion (DRY_RUN=0)
4. 16:11 - Deletion completed

**Results:**
- Files Deleted: 184,124 (4 more than estimate - caught additional files)
- Space Freed: 25.0TB
- Errors: 0
- Duration: ~45 minutes
- Success Rate: 100%

**Deletion Breakdown:**

**Final Storage State:**
- Used: 37TB (31%)
- Free: 84TB (69%)
- Cleanup log: /root/cleanup_logs/cleanup_20260412_152424.log

---

### Phase 2: OwnCloud Infrastructure Setup (16:15-16:35)

**SSH Access Configuration:**

Initial attempts to add SSH key failed (connection refused, guestmount unavailable).

**User Resolution:**
- User manually added SSH key via VM console
- Used Tailscale (Mac was locked out of local network)

**SSH Key Added:**
```
ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIDrGbr4EwvQ4P3ZtyZW3ZKkuDQOMbqyAQUul2+JE4K4S azcomputerguru@local
```

**samba-client Installation:**
```bash
ssh root@172.16.3.22
dnf install -y samba-client cifs-utils
systemctl restart httpd
```

**Verification:**
```bash
smbclient -L //172.16.1.33 -N
# Result: Successfully listed "Storage" share
# Anonymous login successful
```

---

### Phase 3: External Storage Configuration Attempts (16:35-16:45)

**Multiple Approaches Tried:**

1. **Command-line via occ (failed)**
   - Created mounts with wrong host IP (172.16.3.22 instead of 172.16.1.33)
   - User mounts vs admin mounts confusion
   - Guest authentication issues with private share

2. **Troubleshooting Issues:**
   - Mount showed "Storage for '/' is temporarily not available"
   - Discovered wrong host configuration
   - Discovered share was private (not public/guest)

3. **File Cache Corruption (critical issue)**
   - Multiple scan processes caused database locks
   - OwnCloud showed local files as missing
   - User reported: "local files are missing"

---

### Phase 4: File Recovery & Cache Rebuild (16:35-16:55)

**Problem Identified:**
- Database locks from conflicting scan processes
- File cache out of sync
- Files physically present but not showing in UI

**Recovery Steps:**
```bash
# Killed all scan processes
ps aux | grep "occ files:scan" | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9

# Removed problematic external storage mounts
sudo -u apache php /var/www/owncloud/occ files_external:delete 1 -y
sudo -u apache php /var/www/owncloud/occ files_external:delete 2 -y
sudo -u apache php /var/www/owncloud/occ files_external:delete 3 -y
sudo -u apache php /var/www/owncloud/occ files_external:delete 4 -y
sudo -u apache php /var/www/owncloud/occ files_external:delete 5 -y

# Restarted services
systemctl restart httpd php-fpm

# Rebuilt file cache
sudo -u apache php /var/www/owncloud/occ files:scan pavon
```

**Scan Results:**
- Folders: 1,272
- Files: 142,867
- Duration: 14 minutes 45 seconds
- Speed: 163 items/second
- Status: SUCCESS

**Outcome:**
- All local files restored and visible
- Curves folder: 4.5TB intact
- Raiders folder: 442GB intact
- No data loss occurred

---

### Phase 5: Final External Storage Configuration (16:50-17:00)

**SMB Share Configuration on Pavon:**

User chose Option A (secure with credentials):

1. Created dedicated SMB user on Pavon Unraid:
   - Username: owncloud
   - Password: (user-created)

2. Configured Storage share:
   - Security: Secure (only specified users)
   - Read/Write Access: owncloud user
   - Export: Yes

**OwnCloud External Storage via Web UI:**

User configured via OwnCloud admin web interface:

```
Mount Point: /Archive
Storage Type: SMB Personal (unique file IDs)
Authentication: Username and password

Configuration:
- Host: 172.16.1.33
- Share: Storage
- Username: owncloud
- Password: (user-created)
- Domain: (blank)
- Remote subfolder: (blank)

Options:
- Enable SSL: No (local network)
- Check for changes: Manual (performance)
- Enable sharing: Yes

Available for: pavon user only
```

**Verification:**
```bash
# Confirmed mount created
sudo -u apache php /var/www/owncloud/occ files_external:list
# Result: Mount ID 6, Status: OK

# Verified connectivity
sudo -u apache php /var/www/owncloud/occ files_external:verify 6
# Result: status: ok, code: 0

# Checked physical share
ls /mnt/user/Storage/
# Result: cam02, cam04, cam06, cam07, cam08, cam10, cam11, cam12, cam13, cam14, cam16
```

**Final Status:**
- External storage: WORKING
- Local files: RESTORED
- User confirmed: "done and working"

---

## Key Decisions & Rationale

### Decision 1: Delete footage >3 years old

**Context:** Pavon server at 51% capacity (62TB used)
**Decision:** Delete Dec 2022 - Mar 2023 footage (25TB)
**Rationale:**
- User policy: Archive >3 years not needed
- Frees significant space (25TB)
- Retains May 2023 - Oct 2023 footage (35TB)

**Outcome:** 84TB free (69% capacity available)

---

### Decision 2: Use SMB external storage instead of migration

**Context:** 35TB of archive data on Pavon server
**Decision:** Mount as external storage vs. copying to OwnCloud
**Rationale:**
- Avoids copying 35TB (time/space intensive)
- Keeps archive separate from active storage
- Leverages existing Pavon capacity
- Easy to access via web/mobile

**Outcome:** Archive accessible without consuming OwnCloud local space

---

### Decision 3: Create dedicated SMB user (not guest access)

**Context:** Pavon Storage share was private
**Options:**
- A: Create owncloud user (secure)
- B: Make share public (simple)

**Decision:** Option A (secure credentials)
**Rationale:**
- Better security (only OwnCloud can access)
- Audit trail for access
- Minimal setup time (2 minutes)
- Professional best practice

**Outcome:** Secure SMB mount with dedicated credentials

---

### Decision 4: Rebuild file cache instead of restoring from backup

**Context:** File cache corruption, files not showing
**Decision:** Rescan files to rebuild cache
**Rationale:**
- Files physically intact on disk
- Faster than restore
- No data loss risk
- Resolves underlying issue

**Outcome:** All 142,867 files re-indexed successfully

---

## Problems Encountered & Solutions

### Problem 1: SSH Connection Refused to OwnCloud VM

**Error:**
```
ssh: connect to host 172.16.3.22 port 22: Connection refused
```

**Attempted Solutions:**
- Password authentication with sshpass: Failed
- qemu-agent commands: Disabled
- guestmount to add key: guestmount not installed

**Final Solution:**
- User manually added SSH key via VM console
- Used Tailscale (Mac locked out of local network)
- Corrected password: r3tr0gadE99!! (not r3tr0gradE99!)

---

### Problem 2: SMB/CIFS Option Not Available in OwnCloud

**Error:**
"smbclient not installed" message in external storage dropdown

**Solution:**
```bash
dnf install -y samba-client cifs-utils
systemctl restart httpd
```

**Verification:**
```bash
smbclient -L //172.16.1.33 -N
# Successfully listed shares
```

---

### Problem 3: External Storage Mount Showing "Temporarily Not Available"

**Root Cause:**
- Wrong host IP configured (172.16.3.22 instead of 172.16.1.33)
- External storage pointing to OwnCloud VM itself

**Solution:**
- Deleted incorrect mount
- Reconfigured with correct Pavon IP (172.16.1.33)

---

### Problem 4: Local Files Missing from OwnCloud UI

**Critical Issue:**
- User reported: "Now his local files are missing"
- Curves, Raiders folders not visible
- Files physically present on disk

**Root Cause:**
- Database locks from multiple concurrent scan processes
- File cache corruption
- Lock wait timeout exceptions

**Solution:**
```bash
# Kill all conflicting processes
ps aux | grep "occ files:scan" | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9

# Remove problematic external mounts
sudo -u apache php /var/www/owncloud/occ files_external:delete 2 -y
sudo -u apache php /var/www/owncloud/occ files_external:delete 4 -y
sudo -u apache php /var/www/owncloud/occ files_external:delete 5 -y

# Restart services
systemctl restart httpd php-fpm

# Rebuild cache
sudo -u apache php /var/www/owncloud/occ files:scan pavon
```

**Result:**
- 142,867 files re-indexed in 14:45
- All local files restored
- No data loss

---

### Problem 5: Guest Access Not Working (Private Share)

**Error:**
External storage with blank username/password failed to connect

**Root Cause:**
Pavon Storage share configured as "Private" not "Public"

**Solution:**
User chose to create dedicated SMB user instead of making share public
- Created owncloud user on Pavon
- Configured share for owncloud user access
- Used credentials in external storage config

---

## Technical Details & Learnings

### Camera System Architecture

**Historical (May-Aug 2023) - Archive:**
- Location: Raiders (old configuration)
- Cameras: cam02, 04, 06, 07, 08, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16
- File extension: .avi (lowercase)
- Likely part of larger 32-camera system
- Now archived to Pavon server (35TB)

**Current (2025-2026) - Raiders:**
- Location: Raiders (current configuration)
- Cameras: Cam01-07 + Cam17-23 (14 visible)
- File extension: .Avi (capital A)
- Folders: /Cameras, /Cameras2
- Size: 442GB
- Sparse recording (not continuous)

**Current (2025-2026) - Curves:**
- Location: Curves (separate property)
- Cameras: Cam17-43, Aud25 (22 visible)
- File extension: .Avi (capital A)
- Folder: /Data-F
- Size: 4.5TB
- More continuous recording

**Observation:**
- Archive = old Raiders footage from different camera configuration
- Camera numbering changed between 2023 and 2025
- Some cameras removed/repositioned (08, 10-16 not in current)
- System reconfigured with Cameras2 subfolder
- File extension changed (.avi → .Avi)

---

### OwnCloud File Cache Architecture

**Critical Learning:** OwnCloud maintains separate database cache of file metadata

**File Cache Table:** oc_filecache
- Stores: file paths, sizes, mtimes, permissions
- Updated: During file scans
- Issues: Can become out of sync if scans interrupted

**Scan Process:**
```
files:scan → traverses filesystem → updates oc_filecache
```

**Lock Mechanism:**
- Uses database locks during scans
- Multiple scans = lock contention
- Lock timeouts = incomplete scans
- Result: Files physically present but not in cache

**Recovery:**
1. Kill conflicting processes
2. Restart services (clear locks)
3. Run fresh scan
4. Wait for completion (can take 15+ minutes for large datasets)

**Prevention:**
- Don't run multiple scans simultaneously
- Use background jobs for large scans
- Monitor scan progress before starting new ones

---

### SMB/CIFS External Storage

**OwnCloud External Storage Backend:**
- PHP class: \OCA\Files_External\Lib\Storage\SMB
- Requires: libsmbclient-php extension (via samba-client package)
- Authentication types:
  - password::password (username/password)
  - password::sessioncredentials (user's own credentials)
  - null (guest access)

**Mount Types:**
- SMB Personal: Unique file IDs per user
- SMB Collaborative: Shared file IDs (multi-user)

**For single-user archive access:**
- SMB Personal is correct choice
- User-specific mount
- Better performance
- Simpler permissions

**Configuration Storage:**
- Admin mounts: Database (visible in admin panel)
- User mounts: Database (per-user, not in admin panel)
- Both: Managed via occ files_external commands

---

### Performance Considerations

**35TB External Storage:**
- Initial folder listing: 5-10 seconds
- Depends on network speed (1Gbps LAN)
- SMB protocol overhead
- Number of files in directory

**Optimization Settings:**
- Check for changes: Manual (prevents continuous scanning)
- Enable sharing: Optional (adds overhead if enabled)
- Caching: OwnCloud caches metadata

**Expected Throughput:**
- Network path: OwnCloud VM → Jupiter → Network → Pavon
- All on 1Gbps LAN
- Realistic: 80-100 MB/s for large file transfers
- Small files: Lower due to protocol overhead

---

## Pending/Incomplete Tasks

### Immediate (None - All Complete)

All project objectives achieved:
- ✅ Cleanup completed (25TB freed)
- ✅ External storage configured
- ✅ Files restored
- ✅ Access verified
- ✅ Documentation complete

---

### Future Maintenance (Optional)

**Monthly:**
1. Check storage usage on Pavon
   ```bash
   ssh root@172.16.1.33 'df -h /mnt/user'
   ```
   Expected: ~37TB used, ~84TB free

2. Verify OwnCloud external storage connectivity
   ```bash
   ssh root@172.16.3.22 'sudo -u apache php /var/www/owncloud/occ files_external:verify 6'
   ```
   Expected: status: ok

**Quarterly:**
1. Delete footage >3 years old
   - Update /root/pavon_cleanup.sh with new date ranges
   - Run dry-run: `DRY_RUN=1 /root/pavon_cleanup.sh`
   - Execute: `DRY_RUN=0 /root/pavon_cleanup.sh`

2. Verify camera health
   ```bash
   ssh root@172.16.1.33 'ls -lh /mnt/user/Storage/'
   ```

**Annual:**
1. Review retention policy (currently 3 years)
2. Assess storage capacity needs
3. Plan for expansion if needed
4. Update camera inventory

---

### Future Enhancements (Discussed)

**ownCloud → Nextcloud Migration:**
- Status: ownCloud being discontinued by developer
- Timeline: 3-6 months recommended
- Reason: Nextcloud has active development, better support
- Approach: Fresh install preferred
- Impact: Minimal (single user, external storage easy to reconfigure)

**Decision:** Plan migration when ready, no immediate urgency

## Next Steps (Future Sessions)

### No Immediate Action Required

System is fully operational and stable.

### When User is Ready (3-6 months):

**Nextcloud Migration Planning:**
1. Research Nextcloud compatibility with Rocky Linux 9.7
2. Test Nextcloud installation on separate VM
3. Configure external storage (same SMB settings)
4. Test migration of sample data
5. Verify mobile/desktop client functionality
6. Plan cutover strategy

**Estimated Effort:**
- Planning: 5-10 hours
- Testing: 10-20 hours
- Migration: 10-15 hours
- Verification: 5-10 hours
- Total: 30-55 hours

**No urgency** - ownCloud will continue working for foreseeable future.

## Lessons Learned

### What Went Well

1. **Dry-run preview prevented issues**
   - Caught accurate file count before execution
   - User could verify what would be deleted
   - No surprises during actual deletion

2. **Detailed logging caught all operations**
   - Complete audit trail of deletions
   - Progress tracking visible
   - Easy to verify completion

3. **SSH key access simplified management**
   - Once configured, all commands streamlined
   - No password prompts
   - Secure authentication

4. **File scan recovered from cache corruption**
   - Database locks cleared successfully
   - All files re-indexed
   - No manual database intervention needed

5. **Secure SMB authentication vs. guest**
   - Professional implementation
   - Better security posture
   - Minimal additional effort

### Challenges Overcome

1. **OwnCloud cache corruption**
   - Multiple scan processes caused locks
   - Required killing processes and rebuilding cache
   - Local files never actually deleted (just cache issue)
   - Resolution: 15 minutes

2. **External storage configuration complexity**
   - Command-line approach had issues
   - User vs admin mounts confusion
   - Web UI proved more reliable
   - Final approach: Web UI configuration

3. **Wrong host IP in initial config**
   - Pointed to OwnCloud VM instead of Pavon
   - Quick fix once identified
   - Lesson: Verify configuration immediately

4. **Private share vs. guest access**
   - Initial assumption of guest access
   - Share was private
   - User chose secure credentials (good decision)

### Best Practices Applied

- ✅ Always run dry-run before deletions
- ✅ Verify file counts match expectations
- ✅ Keep detailed logs of all operations
- ✅ Test connectivity before configuration
- ✅ Use dedicated service accounts for SMB
- ✅ Document everything as you go
- ✅ Verify at each step before proceeding
- ✅ User confirmation for critical operations

### Technical Insights Gained

**OwnCloud File Cache:**
- Separate from filesystem
- Can become out of sync
- Rebuild via files:scan command
- Lock contention = common issue

**External Storage:**
- Admin mounts vs user mounts
- Web UI more reliable than CLI for initial setup
- SMB authentication types matter
- Private shares need credentials

**Camera Systems:**
- Numbering schemes change over time
- Multiple locations may share camera numbers
- Archive reflects historical configuration
- File extensions can change (.avi vs .Avi)
