mattellite's key is now in the NAS's authorized_keys for agentapi, so
gdl-sync.py publishes straight to the archive. That was the last manual step:
the 2026-08-20 run published locally and rsynced by hand with sshpass, which
no scheduled job could do. Verified end to end -- key auth, then a dry-run
rsync from the fetch host into the archive root.
Three timers, installed and enabled: stories daily, full monthly, sweep
quarterly. A templated gdl-sync@.service takes the mode as its instance name.
Settings that are load-bearing rather than decoration:
RandomizedDelaySec=45m a job firing at exactly 09:00 daily is obviously a
machine; list-timers now shows 09:36, not 09:00
Persistent=true catch up a run the host slept through -- cron just
skips, and a skipped stories run is content gone
TimeoutStartSec=infinity a sweep runs for hours at this pacing; the 90s
default would kill it mid-fetch
Two things caught while installing, both documented: month names are invalid
in OnCalendar's date field (Jan,Apr,Jul,Oct-07 is rejected -- use numerics,
and check with systemd-analyze calendar), and `systemctl --user` over
non-interactive ssh needs XDG_RUNTIME_DIR or it cannot find the bus.
Smoke-tested by starting the stories service: it spent zero Instagram requests
because the 20h floor skipped all six sources, which is exactly what a job
firing twice should do.
