Session 0005: rebuild.py Rewrite & App Volume Mount

Date: 2026-02-22 Status: Completed Origin: MDF Webseiten session 0035

Work Done

[x] Diagnosed root cause: dashboard was calling Coolify API stop/start on a placeholder test-nginx, not actual MDF containers
[x] Rewrote rebuild.py to use ops rebuild CLI via host nsenter bridge (no Coolify API)
[x] Updated ops rebuild to do docker compose down before up -d --build
[x] Added safety backup step to Recreate operation
[x] Added app/ directory as volume mount to ops-dashboard compose (enables live edits without rebuild)
[x] Added ops-dashboard git remote at git.mnsoft.org/git/APPS/ops-dashboard.git
[x] Committed and pushed all server repos (MDF, infrastructure, ops-dashboard)

app/ as volume mount is essential for iterating on dashboard backend without container rebuilds
static/ was already volume-mounted; app/ mount completes the live-edit setup
Coolify API is unreliable for locally-built images — ops CLI via nsenter bridge is the correct pattern
Safety backup before Recreate ensures data can be recovered if the restore fails
