- an unfinished install-state.json whose runner is gone (free lock, >60 s
old — reboot, OOM kill, runner never started) is marked 'error' instead
of blocking every later install with 409 until someone fixes it over SSH
- read_state in install_runner/updater tolerates unreadable and non-object
files
- Forgejo API + release downloads wrap OSError and HTTPException (socket
timeouts, resets, disk full) — the update/catalog check endpoints used to
drop the connection on a flaky network
- catalog sync records any failure as the 'error' stage, not just
CatalogError

On dual-stack LANs network-online.target is satisfied by the IPv6 SLAAC
address about a second before DHCPv4 lands, so the first
furtka-catalog-sync run died with 'Network is unreachable' and the next
attempt was the daily timer (OnBootSec=10min + up to 6 h jitter). The
state file stayed on 'checking' and the apps page showed 'checking…'
with nothing running — first hardware bench, 2026-08-25.
- furtka-catalog-sync.service: Restart=on-failure every 20 s, up to 8
times in 15 min
- sync_catalog() writes stage 'error' + message on CatalogError, then
re-raises (body moved to _sync_locked())
- apps page shows 'last sync failed: <error>' for that stage

New Manifest.internet field (viable: bool, port: int | None), parsed by
_parse_internet() following _parse_settings/_parse_requires's existing
shape. When viable, port must be one of the manifest's own declared ports
— resolves which entry is the exposable web UI for apps declaring several
(e.g. a DNS service exposing both a resolver port and an admin UI port).
catalog.py's release validation additionally rejects any internet.viable
app whose docker-compose.yaml sets privileged: true. Deliberately not a
network_mode check: a furtka-gateway reaches a host-networked container's
port exactly like a bridge-published one — the real risk is a compromised
internet-facing container also having host device/kernel access, which
privileged: true grants outright.
New `furtka catalog sync` pulls the latest daniel/furtka-apps release,
verifies its sha256, extracts under /var/lib/furtka/catalog/, and
atomically swaps into place — so apps can ship without cutting a new
Furtka core release. A daily timer (furtka-catalog-sync.timer, 10 min
post-boot + 24 h with ±6 h jitter) drives the sync; /apps gets a
manual "Sync apps catalog" button that kicks the same code path via a
detached systemd-run unit.
Layout of the new on-box tree:
/var/lib/furtka/catalog/ synced catalog (survives self-updates)
├── VERSION
└── apps/<name>/ ...
/var/lib/furtka/catalog-state.json sync stage + last version, UI-polled
/run/furtka/catalog.lock flock so timer + manual click can't race
Resolver precedence (furtka/sources.py): catalog wins over the bundled
seed (/opt/furtka/current/apps/, carried by the core release for offline
first-boot). Installed apps under /var/lib/furtka/apps/ are never auto-
swapped — user clicks Reinstall to move an existing install onto a
newer catalog version; settings merge-preserved via the existing
installer.install_from path.
New files:
- furtka/_release_common.py — shared Forgejo/tarball primitives lifted
from furtka/updater.py. Both modules now import from here; updater's
behaviour and public API unchanged.
- furtka/catalog.py — check_catalog(), sync_catalog() with staging +
manifest validation + atomic rename. Refuses bad sha256 / broken
manifests and leaves the live catalog intact on any failure path.
- furtka/sources.py — resolve_app_name() / list_available() abstraction
used by installer.resolve_source and api._list_available.
- assets/systemd/furtka-catalog-sync.{service,timer} — oneshot service
+ daily timer. Timer auto-enables on self-update via a one-line
addition to _link_new_units (fresh installs get enabled via the
webinstaller's _FURTKA_UNITS list).
API + UI:
- /api/bundled renamed internally to _list_available; endpoint stays as
a backcompat alias; /api/apps/available is the new canonical name.
Each list entry carries a `source` field ("catalog" | "bundled").
- POST /api/catalog/sync/check + /apply + GET /api/catalog/status.
- /apps page grows a catalog-status row + Sync button; poll loop
mirrors the Furtka self-update flow.
CLI: `furtka catalog sync [--check]` + `furtka catalog status` (both
support --json). Old `furtka app install` / `reconcile` / `update` /
`rollback` surfaces are unchanged.
Test gate: 194/170 baseline + 24 new tests covering catalog sync
(happy path, sha256 mismatch, invalid manifest, lock contention,
preserves-on-failure) + resolver precedence + api renames. ruff
check + format clean.
