Add NFS self-heal automation for immich/calibre/ocis, backed up in git
Stale NFS handles inside containers (ESTALE/errno -116) can persist even after the host-side mount looks healthy, requiring a manual remount + container restart. Adds systemd mount-ready hooks (BindsTo) to restart immich_server/calibre/ocis when their NFS mount unit restarts, plus a 5-minute health-check timer that does a real nested read and force-remounts on staleness. Host files backed up under system-config/nfs-self-heal/ so they can be reinstalled after a host rebuild.

# NFS Self-Heal (host-level systemd units)
|
||||
|
||||
These files are **not** deployed by Docker/Portainer — they're systemd units and a
|
||||
script that live directly on the host at `/etc/systemd/system/` and
|
||||
`/usr/local/bin/`. They're checked in here purely as a backup so they can be
|
||||
restored if the host is rebuilt. Editing a file here does **not** change
|
||||
running behavior; you have to re-copy it to the host and reload systemd.
|
||||
|
||||
## What this does
|
||||
|
||||
Permanent NFS mounts (`mnt-nas_family.mount`, `mnt-nas_books.mount`,
|
||||
`mnt-nas_owncloud.mount`) can go stale — the host mount looks fine on a
|
||||
top-level `ls`, but file handles nested inside it return ESTALE
|
||||
(errno -116) to processes that opened them earlier, including containers
|
||||
that bind-mount the path. A container restart is required to pick up a
|
||||
fresh handle even after the host-side mount is healthy again. See
|
||||
`../../NAS-CONNECTION-STRATEGIES.md` for the full mount inventory and
|
||||
`../../immich/` / `../../calibre/MOUNT-HISTORY.md` for history on this
|
||||
failure mode (first hit immich on 2026-08-25; calibre-import had the same
|
||||
issue documented earlier but unresolved).
|
||||
|
||||
Two pieces:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **`<container>-mount-ready.service`** (one per affected container) —
|
||||
`BindsTo=mnt-nas_*.mount`, so restarting the mount unit automatically
|
||||
restarts the bound container. Currently covers `immich_server`,
|
||||
`calibre`, `ocis`. (Older instances of this same pattern —
|
||||
`backrest`, `kiwix`, `pmtiles`, `audiobookshelf`, `romm` — already
|
||||
exist on the host but aren't backed up here yet.)
|
||||
2. **`nfs-mount-heal.timer`** → **`nfs-mount-heal.service`** →
|
||||
**`nfs-mount-heal.sh`** — runs every 5 minutes, does a real nested
|
||||
read (not just `ls` the mount root) against `nas_family`, `nas_books`,
|
||||
and `nas_owncloud`. On failure it force-remounts the mount unit
|
||||
(`systemctl restart`), which cascades into the container restart via
|
||||
the hooks above, then re-checks and sends a Telegram alert either way.
|
||||
|
||||
## Reinstall after a host rebuild
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo cp *.service *.timer /etc/systemd/system/
|
||||
sudo cp nfs-mount-heal.sh /usr/local/bin/nfs-mount-heal.sh
|
||||
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/nfs-mount-heal.sh
|
||||
|
||||
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
|
||||
sudo systemctl enable --now immich-mount-ready.service
|
||||
sudo systemctl enable --now calibre-mount-ready.service
|
||||
sudo systemctl enable --now ocis-mount-ready.service
|
||||
sudo systemctl enable --now nfs-mount-heal.timer
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Requires the `mnt-nas_family.mount`, `mnt-nas_books.mount`, and
|
||||
`mnt-nas_owncloud.mount` systemd units to already exist (see
|
||||
`NAS-CONNECTION-STRATEGIES.md`) and `.credentials` at the repo root to be
|
||||
present on the host (the heal script sources it for the Telegram bot
|
||||
token/chat ID).
