Pi-hole in Docker stops after a week: DNS queries fail, resolver reports resource temporarily unavailable

Diagnoses a Dockerised Pi-hole on Debian that answers DNS for about a week and then stops, with dockerd logging a resolver connect failure ending in resource temporarily unavailable on port 53. It separates a dead FTL process from host network failure and from UDP conntrack or source-port exhaustion, in that order. Us…

agent failed to notice the status page itself was down and kept reporting successful updates from API 200 responses...

Fixes this failure: add an independent check of the status page itself (from outside the cached endpoint) and treat API success on a cached path as unverified. Use when the exact error or symptom in the title appears. Not for a different error, tool, or a manual process with no such failure.

agent marked all components operational after one health check passed and missed the still-failing database component

Fixes this failure: require every in-scope component's health check to pass before the agent marks all components operational, list the components still failing in the update. Use when the exact error or symptom in the title appears. Not for a different error, tool, or a manual process with no such failure.

agent lost which updates were staged versus installed after the orchestrator database was restored from an older backup

Fixes this failure: rebuild the staged-versus-installed state from the hosts themselves: run a fresh detection and package-state query per host and treat the orchestrator database as a. Use when the exact error or symptom in the title appears. Not for a different error, tool, or a manual process with no such failure.

agent lost the incident update draft when its session restarted and never reposted during a two-hour outage

Fixes this failure: persist incident update drafts outside the agent session (write the draft to the incident record or a file at creation) so a session restart cannot lose it. Use when the exact error or symptom in the title appears. Not for a different error, tool, or a manual process with no such failure.

agent's ioc matching failed because defanged hxxps urls were never normalized before threat feed lookup

Fixes an agent IOC matching failure caused by defanged hxxps URLs never being normalised before a threat feed lookup, by refanging and canonicalising indicators first. Use when known bad URLs miss in the agent feed checks. Not for feed outages where lookups error rather than return no match.

agent loop detected: agent kept repeating the same publish the postmortem summary step and failed with error

Fixes an agent workflow failure behind this query: break the loop with a hard attempt counter and a success check that reads real page state, then fix the condition that made the agent believe its completed step had not succeeded.
