Task #67: NC1 Security & Temperature Monitoring

Time Estimate: 30 min (firewall) + ongoing (monitoring)

Documentation: docs/tasks/ (see operations manual)

Time: 30 min (firewall) + ongoing (monitoring)
Status: IN PROGRESS — Firewall complete, monitoring planned
Priority: MEDIUM-HIGH
Documentation: docs/tasks/nc1-security-monitoring/

Address two concerns discovered during Cockpit deployment: NC1 Charlotte had no firewall despite hosting 7 public game servers, and runs 20°C warmer than TX1 Dallas (51.6°C vs 30.9°C).

Firewall Component — ✅ COMPLETE:

UFW enabled on NC1 Charlotte
Proper game server port rules (25565-25580, 5520-5521 TCP/UDP)
Wings SFTP secured (port 2022)
SSH and Cockpit accessible (ports 22, 9090)
Completed: March 21, 2026

Temperature Monitoring Component — PLANNED:

Establish baseline (Week 1): Daily temperature checks via Cockpit
Trend analysis (Week 2): Compare baseline, look for upward trends
Action thresholds: 65°C sustained = contact datacenter, 70°C = immediate investigation
Future: Automated monitoring via Netdata with Discord alerts

Safe Operating Ranges:

Normal idle: 30-45°C
Normal load: 45-65°C
Concerning: 70°C+
Critical: 80-85°C+

Current Assessment:

NC1 at 51.6°C is within safe range but warmer than expected
Needs weekly monitoring for upward trends
Not urgent but requires tracking

Dependencies:

Cockpit access for temperature checks (Task #66 — complete)
Netdata deployment (future) for automated monitoring

Discovered By: The Chronicler (Session 37) during Cockpit deployment

This issue is being closed as part of the task system migration on April 1, 2026.

Why: The Gitea Issues + Kanban approach proved too heavyweight for daily operations and lacked accessibility for non-technical team members (Meg, Holly).

New System:

BLOCKERS.md - Critical soft launch tasks
BACKLOG.md - Future work organized by theme
Trinity Console v2 Task Module (planned) - Web-based task management

Archive: All issues preserved in docs/archive/gitea-issues-archive-2026-04-01.md
