Developer d4f95b64d4 chore(observability): externalize stack from root compose files
Manage now connects to existing Grafana/Prometheus/Alertmanager instances
and never deploys its own stack.

- docker-compose.yml / docker-compose.dev.yml: removed prometheus, loki,
  alloy, grafana, alertmanager, node-exporter services, the monitoring
  network, and observability named volumes; they now ship only backend +
  frontend. Dev frontend now joins the web network so the Vite dev proxy
  can reach the backend.
- backend: alertmanager_url default is now empty; /api/monitoring/alerts
  and /alertmanager-status return graceful "not configured" responses
  when ALERTMANAGER_URL is unset. Added not-configured tests.
- docker-compose.observability.yml: kept as the optional standalone
  example; header clarifies Manage does not deploy it.
- Removed orphaned combined monitoring/prometheus/prometheus.yml
  (standalone stack uses prometheus.standalone.yml).
- Docs (README, REQUIREMENTS decision log, monitoring-logging-design,
  observability-runbooks, context.md, MIGRATION_PLAN, frontend/README,
  CHANGELOG) updated to the connect-to-existing model.

VITE_GRAFANA_URL / VITE_PROMETHEUS_URL remain as optional frontend
deep-link overrides. .env.example still needs a manual update (safety
policy blocks assistant edits): set ALERTMANAGER_URL empty/optional and
move standalone-only vars out of the root file.

Changelog

All notable changes to Manage. Breaking changes are marked with BREAKING.

[Unreleased]

Changed — Observability is now external only

  • Removed all observability services from docker-compose.yml and docker-compose.dev.yml. They now deploy only the backend and frontend. The monitoring network and the prometheus/loki/alloy/grafana/ alertmanager/node-exporter services and their named volumes were deleted, and the GRAFANA_APP_HOST Traefik rule was removed.
  • Manage now connects to existing Grafana/Prometheus/Alertmanager instances and never ships its own stack. The previous in-compose stack is preserved as an optional, deploy-it-yourself example in docker-compose.observability.yml (config under monitoring/, documented in docs/observability-runbooks.md).
  • The backend alertmanager_url default is now empty. The /api/monitoring/alerts and /alertmanager-status endpoints return a graceful "not configured" response when ALERTMANAGER_URL is unset.
  • Removed the now-orphaned combined monitoring/prometheus/prometheus.yml; the standalone stack uses monitoring/prometheus/prometheus.standalone.yml.
  • VITE_GRAFANA_URL/VITE_PROMETHEUS_URL remain as optional frontend deep-link overrides. ALERTMANAGER_URL/ALERTMANAGER_WEBHOOK_URL are optional.

Added — Service registry

  • Runtime service registry persisted in the backend SQLite database. External services (Grafana, Prometheus, Jellyfin, Nextcloud, SSH task runner) are now configured in the app instead of via environment variables.
  • Services page (/services) to create, list, and delete service instances.
  • Service detail pages (/services/:serviceType/:serviceId) to edit name/enabled state, rotate secrets, and view the widgets a service provides.
  • Service definitions live as Pydantic modules in backend/.../integrations/, each declaring its config schema, secret fields, and widget kinds.
  • Multi-instance support: multiple Grafana/Jellyfin/etc. instances per type.
  • SSH task runner service records run history in a new service_task_runs table, shown on the runner's service page.

Changed

  • Dashboard widgets are now service-bound (reference a service instance + widget kind) or built-in (backups, static text). The "Add widget" flow is pick-service → pick-widget-kind → configure.
  • Deleting a service cascade-deletes widgets that reference it.

Security

  • Service secrets (API keys, tokens, passphrases) are encrypted at rest with Fernet.

BREAKING

  • Saved Actions (server tasks) now target ssh_tasks service instances instead of monitoring machines. The default_machine_id field on saved tasks was replaced with default_service_id; the legacy saved_task_runs table was dropped and run history now lives in service_task_runs. Re-create SSH task runner services on the Services page and re-link saved actions after upgrading.

  • MANAGE_ENCRYPTION_KEY is now required to start the backend. Generate one with:

    python -c "from cryptography.fernet import Fernet; print(Fernet.generate_key().decode())"
    
  • The GRAFANA_URL and PROMETHEUS_URL backend environment variables were removed; Grafana/Prometheus URLs now live on service records configured in the UI. Re-create them on the Services page after upgrading.

  • The legacy widget/addon-pages model (/addons/:addonId, /api/widgets/types, /api/widgets/sources) was removed in favor of the service registry.

  • Default dashboard widget seeding was removed; a fresh install starts with an empty dashboard. Add widgets from the dashboard's edit dialog after configuring services.

Notes / follow-ups

  • Machine-level Jellyfin/Jellyseerr app config still powers the Media/Users/Files pages. Migrating those onto the service registry is a separate follow-up change (see openspec/changes/service-registry/design.md §12.5).

Follow-up #1 — remove dead machine Jellyfin/Jellyseerr fields

With Jellyfin/Jellyseerr now resolved from the service registry, the machine-level Jellyfin/Jellyseerr fields are dead config. Removed from dependencies.py (dead _jellyseerr_client_for; _resolve_machine simplified to SSH-only), services/settings_store.py, routers/settings.py (MachineInput), frontend types, the Settings.tsx form, and frontend test fixtures. Existing DB rows may still carry these keys in config_json; they are inert and get dropped on the next machine save. No data migration required.
