FAQ & troubleshooting
1200+ deep troubleshooting entries wired into Server, Guides, Finance, and Personal docs — not standalone bullet lists.
Start here (integrated)
| I need to… | Open |
|---|---|
| Match a symptom to fixes | Symptom finder |
| See which URL / service broke | Service matrix |
| Outage — work top-down | Outage runbook |
| Media request → watch pipeline | Media pipeline |
| Login / Access / Vault / YubiKey | Auth stack |
| Money / bills / handover | Finance troubleshooting |
Search (Ctrl+K / ⌘K): symptoms, FAQ IDs (NET-003, JFY-001), or hostnames (stream.saxobroko.com).
What each FAQ entry includes
Every ??? question block in category files now carries:
| Section | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Stack context | Where this fits (TrueNAS, Cloudflare, MyState, …) |
| Integrated runbooks | Links to hubs + Server docs |
| Why this happens | Root cause in plain language (when known) |
| Diagnose (2 min) | LAN vs public, service matrix, second device check |
| Symptoms / Fix | What you see and numbered steps |
| Verify | Confirm the fix actually worked |
| Deep dive | Guide or Server page for full architecture |
Category files below hold all NET/JFY/AUTH/etc. entries. Hubs above group them by workflow.
How to use
- Try an integrated runbook first if the scenario matches (outage, media, auth, money).
- Otherwise open Symptom finder or search.
- Expand the FAQ block — follow steps in order.
- Use Verify before closing the tab.
- Follow Deep dive if you need setup context, not just a fix.
Before you change anything destructive
Read first
- Do not wipe TrueNAS pools, delete Cloudflare DNS, or factory-reset the router unless an FAQ explicitly says to.
- Passwords live in Vaultwarden — not in FAQ text.
- Pool DEGRADED → server-when-pool-degraded before any disk work.
- Death/handover → First 24 hours
