Fixed Backup Permissions +```bash +sudo mkdir -p /opt/agenthub/backups +sudo chmod 777 /opt/agenthub/backups +``` + +### 2. Relocated Ofelia Labels + +**Problem**: Labels were on `backup` service which has `restart: 'no'` and exits after running. + +**Solution**: Moved labels to `postgres` service which runs continuously. + +**Modified**: `/opt/agenthub/compose.lan.yml` + +```yaml +postgres: + image: postgres:16-alpine + environment: + POSTGRES_DB: agenthub + POSTGRES_USER: agenthub + POSTGRES_PASSWORD: ${POSTGRES_PASSWORD} + volumes: + - pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data + labels: + ofelia.enabled: 'true' + ofelia.job-exec.backup-daily.schedule: '0 0 3 * * *' + ofelia.job-exec.backup-daily.container: 'agenthub-backup-1' + ofelia.job-exec.backup-daily.command: '/usr/local/bin/backup.sh' + restart: unless-stopped +``` + +### 3. Fixed YAML Syntax Issues + +Multiple YAML syntax errors were introduced during manual editing: +- Incorrect indentation causing `services.restart must be a mapping` +- Empty `labels:` line in backup section +- Redis command in flow style instead of block style + +All fixed via SSH access using programmatic file editing. + +### 4.

Jobs on containers with `restart: 'no'` that exit immediately are not discoverable. + +**Solution Pattern**: For job-exec mode, place Ofelia labels on a service that runs continuously (like postgres, redis) rather than on the ephemeral service being executed. + +**Alternative**: Use job-run mode instead of job-exec if you need to schedule one-shot containers, but this wasn't necessary here since backup.sh already existed in the backup service.
