Three sysadmin items ahead of the public announcement's arrivals. deploy/wizwar-rollup.sh writes one JSON line per UTC day to /var/lib/wizwar/rollup.jsonl at 00:10: yesterday's traffic from Caddy's access log (requests, human vs bot addresses as counts only, socket connects, path mix, external referrers), the table's growth (new rooms, human seats and names, lifetime game totals, reports and replies), and the box's vitals (service memory and peak, disk, load, protocol errors, service starts, ledger size). Re-rolling a day replaces its line. It checks in to a Sentry cron monitor of its own, whose URL deploy.sh derives from the backup monitor's on first install, alongside the cron entry. The pulse gains a Trends section that reads the last week of it. Caddy keeps 30 log files instead of 5 as the raw backing. Per-address limits on the two doors anyone may use unseated: 12 new rooms and 6 reports per address per hour, in a sliding window keyed by the address Caddy forwards. The per-connection cap stays; it reset on reconnect, which is what a script would do.

# The Wiz-War ops pulse
|
||
|
||
One invocation, one screen: how the table is doing. Gather everything,
|
||
then report in five short sections. Lead with anything ALARMING (service
|
||
down, memory near the cap, failed backup, new Sentry issues); if all is
|
||
quiet, say so in one line before the details.
|
||
|
||
## Gather
|
||
|
||
1. **Box health** (one ssh to root@104.236.96.198):
|
||
- `systemctl is-active wizwar caddy` — both must be active
|
||
- `systemctl status wizwar` Memory line — the cap is 700M; worry
|
||
past ~500M steady-state
|
||
- `free -m`, `df -h /`, `uptime` — swap in heavy use, disk past
|
||
~70%, or load near 1.0 (single vCPU) are the resize triggers
|
||
- `journalctl -u wizwar --since "-7 days" | grep -ci "unhandled
|
||
protocol error"` — anything nonzero deserves a look (Sentry has
|
||
the stack traces)
|
||
2. **Sentry** (MCP connector, org `locallygrownnet`, project `wizwar`):
|
||
- `search_issues` for `is:unresolved` — new issues are the headline
|
||
- `get_monitor_details` for cron monitor slug `new-monitor` (named
|
||
wizwar-backup) — last check-in must be ok and recent; the uptime
|
||
monitor alerts on its own but note any incidents
|
||
- New-project caveat: results can lag ingest by minutes; the
|
||
connector reads fine but 403s on create operations
|
||
3. **Backups**: `tail -3 /var/log/wizwar/backup.log` (or its rotation)
|
||
for the last run, plus the cron monitor above for missed runs
|
||
4. **Trends** (`/var/lib/wizwar/rollup.jsonl`, one JSON line per UTC day
|
||
written at 00:10 by /usr/local/bin/wizwar-rollup.sh; counts only, no
|
||
addresses): the last 7 rows give requests, human vs bot addresses,
|
||
socket connects, path mix (/, /clips, /watch, /ws), external
|
||
referrers (reddit.com, boardgamegeek.com after the 2026-09-03
|
||
announcement), new rooms, human seats and names, reports/replies,
|
||
and vitals (memMB, memPeakMB, diskPct, load1, protocolErrors,
|
||
serviceStarts, ledgerMB). Report day-over-day direction, not raw
|
||
rows. Its Sentry cron monitor is slug `wizwar-rollup` (a missed
|
||
check-in there means the rollup itself is broken). Re-roll a day by
|
||
hand: `wizwar-rollup.sh YYYY-MM-DD`.
|
||
5. **The table itself**:
|
||
- Room count and growth: `ls /var/lib/wizwar/rooms/*.jsonl | wc -l`
|
||
- New human names this week: room ledgers' join lines minus bots
|
||
(Automaton*) and known names, on rooms created in the last 7 days
|
||
(meta line `createdAt`)
|
||
- Unanswered feedback count from /var/lib/wizwar/feedback.jsonl —
|
||
if any, offer to run the reports desk (`/wizwar-reports`)
|
||
- Access-log pulse: `wc -l /var/lib/caddy/access.log` and a count of
|
||
distinct `client_ip`s in the last day, for the growth line
|
||
|
||
## Report
|
||
|
||
Six sections, tight: **Verdict** (one line), **Box**, **Errors &
|
||
monitors**, **Backups**, **Trends** (the week's direction from the
|
||
rollup), **The table** (games, new faces, feedback).
|
||
Numbers with their thresholds, not raw dumps. End with any recommended
|
||
action, or "nothing needs you."
|
||
|
||
## Standing knowledge
|
||
|
||
- The service restarts cleanly (ledgers replay); restarts in the journal
|
||
during deploys are normal, not incidents.
|
||
- Room memory is evicted after idle (finished 30 min, others 24 h);
|
||
boot-restores load everything then shed, so post-deploy memory spikes
|
||
settle within the hour.
|
||
- Unattended-upgrades reboots the box at 09:30 UTC when a kernel patch
|
||
requires it; a reboot there is maintenance, not an outage.
|
||
- Caddy access logs live at /var/lib/caddy/access.log (self-rotating,
|
||
10MiB × 30 since 2026-09-03); the systemd sandbox denies /var/log/caddy.
|
||
- Per-address limits (2026-09-03): 12 new rooms and 6 reports per
|
||
address per hour, in packages/server/src/ratelimit.ts. A player who
|
||
hits one sees "try again in an hour"; a pulse showing many refused
|
||
creates from one address is a script, not a friend.
|
||
- Restore drill (2026-09-01): a Spaces snapshot booted 56/56 rooms
|
||
clean. The path: `rclone copy spaces:kestrel-wizwar-backups/wizwar/
|
||
snapshots/<date> ...` on the droplet, then run a local server with
|
||
WIZWAR_DATA_DIR pointed at its rooms dir. Re-drill quarterly-ish.
