Mitigation for the nightly fabledscribe Postgres outage on the vdnt-docker02 Swarm node (incidents 2026-05-15/16/17 around 03:50 UTC). Confirmed kill chain (not the trigger): a brief host-level setns/exec stall makes the Docker healthcheck exec fail with exit 1 → unhealthy → SIGKILL → fast-shutdown can't finish on NFS in 10s → exit 137 → swarm restart_policy.max_attempts: 5 burns out → DB stays dead. Hardens the `db` service so a transient host blip can't escalate to killing the database: - stop_grace_period: 120s (gives PG room to fsync on shutdown) - healthcheck: interval 30s / timeout 10s / retries 10 / start_period 180s (only gates app startup order — not authoritative liveness) - prod: restart_policy condition=on-failure, max_attempts=0, window=120s - quickstart/dev: restart: unless-stopped Host-side trigger (what stalls runc/exec at ~03:50 UTC) is still under investigation — see project_pg_nightly_outage.md. Note: the Portainer prod stack differs from docker-compose.prod.yml here (NFS bind, traefik labels, no ollama). The same `db:` block needs to be pasted into Portainer for the prod mitigation to apply. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Fabled Scribe
A self-hosted second brain and project management application with integrated LLM capabilities. Write, organise, and act on your notes and tasks with the help of a local AI assistant — all running on your own hardware.
Features
Notes and tasks with a Markdown editor, sub-tasks, milestones, and kanban project workspaces. AI chat with streaming responses, RAG over your notes, and tool use (web search, calendar, weather). A daily briefing that digests your tasks, RSS feeds, and weather on a schedule. Knowledge graph, per-user/group sharing, PWA with push notifications, an MCP server for external AI clients, and an Android companion app.
Quick Start
Prerequisites: Docker and Docker Compose. 8 GB+ RAM recommended for LLM inference.
Download docker-compose.quickstart.yml from this repo, then:
# Optional but recommended — set a secret key
export SECRET_KEY=your-random-secret-here
docker compose -f docker-compose.quickstart.yml up -d
Open http://localhost:5000. The first user to register becomes admin. Go to Settings → General to pull an LLM model — qwen3:8b or llama3.1:8b are good starting points.
GPU: Ollama runs CPU-only by default. See the comments in
docker-compose.quickstart.ymlto enable NVIDIA GPU passthrough.
Development: To build from source, see Development.
