fix: restore files unintentionally reverted by sync commit

Browse Source 
- restore jgpc/ layout (undo accidental revert to thinkstation/), homelab-overview.md
  (June 13 version), docs/jarvis doc, owncloud scripts, siklos/beszel compose
- re-remove jellyfin/node-exporter and siklos/monitoring (replaced by Beszel)
- jgpc/frigate/docker-compose.yml: update to newer local version (cpuset pinning, 8G limit)
- root frigate-* files are local working copies -> gitignored

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| front_driveway | 1 | 1536×432 | 5 | person, car, dog, cat (plates via dedicated LPR detector) | front_driveway_zone (alerts require zone) | — |
| front_yard | 2 | 640×360 | 5 | person, car, dog, cat | — | — |
| shop | 3 | 640×360 | 5 | person, car, dog, cat | — | 2 masks |
| deck | 4 | 640×360 | 5 | person, car, dog, cat | — | 2 masks |
| back_yard | 5 | 640×360 | 5 | person, car, dog, cat | — | 2 masks |
| front_right | 6 | 896×512 | 5 | person, car, dog, cat | — | 1 mask |
Notifications are enabled on all six cameras.
### Stream routing (go2rtc)
- Each camera has a native H.265/H.264 main-stream ingest (`<name>_h265`) plus a sub-stream (`<name>_sub`) pulled directly from the camera.
- front_driveway and front_right main streams are additionally transcoded to H.264 via NVENC (`exec` ffmpeg pipelines, CUDA hwaccel, 2 Mbps low-latency) for browser-compatible live view.
- front_driveway records with a custom pipeline: CUDA scale to 3840×1080, 10 s segments, H.264 NVENC 4 Mbps, AAC 64k audio. All others use `preset-record-generic-audio-aac`.
- ffmpeg globally capped at 2 CPU threads per process (NUMA contention mitigation); `preset-nvidia` hwaccel.
### Quirks / notes
- Shop camera (.103) HTTP API redirects to HTTPS — use `https://` (self-signed) for API calls; other cameras answer on plain HTTP.
- 2026-07-07: audio enabled on-camera for front_driveway and shop; Duo 3 interframe set to 1x; front_driveway live transcode uses `hevc_cuvid -resize 3840x1080` (GPU-only decode+resize — `scale_cuda` filter crashes when Reolink's corrupt stream-join frames force a software-decode fallback); front_right live is direct H.264 passthrough (no transcode needed); `license_plate` removed from tracked objects (COCO model doesn't have that label — LPR uses its own plate detector on cars).
- 2026-07-07: two-way talk enabled on all 6 cameras — each live go2rtc stream has 3 sources (primary video, `ffmpeg:<name>#audio=opus` for WebRTC, `onvif://<ip>:8000` backchannel); WebRTC candidates 192.168.88.41:8555 + stun:8555. LAN only unless 8555 tcp/udp is port-forwarded.
- `auth.enabled: false` only affects port 5000; port 8971 (behind Caddy) always requires login. Caddy injects `Remote-User: guest_viewer` for auto viewer login.

## Camera Stream Settings
All cameras confirmed via Reolink API (May 2026):
| Camera | Main Resolution | Main Codec | Bitrate | FPS | I-frame | Sub Resolution | Sub Codec |
|--------|----------------|------------|---------|-----|---------|----------------|-----------|
| front_driveway (.105) | 7680×2160 | H.265 | 10240 Kbps | 20 | 1x | 1536×432 | H.264 |
| front_yard (.104) | 3840×2160 | H.265 | 6144 Kbps | 25 | 1x | 640×360 | H.264 |
| shop (.103) | 3840×2160 | H.265 | 6144 Kbps | 25 | 1x | 640×360 | H.264 |
| deck (.101) | 3840×2160 | H.265 | 6144 Kbps | 25 | 1x | 640×360 | H.264 |
| back_yard (.102) | 3840×2160 | H.265 | 6144 Kbps | 25 | 1x | 640×360 | H.264 |
| front_right (.100) | 4512×2512 | H.265 | 8192 Kbps | 20 | 1x | 896×512 | H.264 |
**I-frame interval** set to 1x on all cameras so Frigate can start/end recording clips cleanly without waiting for a keyframe.

## go2rtc Stream Architecture
Chrome/Firefox cannot play H.265 (HEVC) via MSE (Media Source Extensions), so each camera requires two go2rtc streams:
```
camera_h265 → native H.265 RTSP from camera
└─ consumed by Frigate ffmpeg for RECORDING (stream copy, no re-encode)
camera → ffmpeg:camera_h265#video=h264 (software H.265 → H.264 transcode)
└─ served to browser via MSE WebSocket for LIVE VIEW
camera_sub → native low-res H.264 RTSP sub-stream
└─ consumed by Frigate for OBJECT DETECTION only
```
**Key behaviour notes:**
- go2rtc uses **lazy initialization** — transcoders only start when a browser opens the live view, and shut down ~30 seconds after the last viewer leaves. This causes a 2–3 second gray screen on first view, which is expected and unavoidable.
- The `_h265` streams are kept alive continuously by Frigate's recording ffmpeg processes, so recording starts instantly.
- The `#hardware` flag for NVENC transcoding in go2rtc causes EOF crashes with Reolink cameras and **must not be used**. Software transcoding (`libx264`) is used instead.
- Reolink cameras drop RTSP connections every 5–20 minutes (firmware behaviour). go2rtc reconnects automatically; this produces a brief gray screen, not static.
### shop camera note
The shop camera (`192.168.88.103`) redirects HTTP → HTTPS. All API calls to shop must use `https://` with `-k` (skip cert verification).

## Frigate Camera Detection Zones
| Camera | Detect Resolution | Tracked Objects | Notes |
|--------|------------------|-----------------|-------|
| front_driveway | 1536×432 | person, car, dog, cat, license_plate | Has zone + LPR; alerts require `front_driveway_zone` |
| front_yard | 640×360 | person, car, dog, cat | — |
| shop | 640×360 | person, car, dog, cat | Motion mask on upper-right and mid-frame |
| deck | 640×360 | person, car, dog, cat | Two motion masks |
| back_yard | 640×360 | person, car, dog, cat | Two motion masks |
| front_right | 896×512 | person, car, dog, cat | Motion mask on upper-centre |

## Recording & Retention
| Type | Retention |
|------|-----------|
| Alert clips | 30 days |
| Detection clips | 30 days |
| Motion clips | 30 days |
| Continuous | Disabled |
| Snapshots | 30 days |

## Known Issues & Quirks
- **Reolink H.265 sub-stream firmware bug:** On some Reolink firmware versions, setting the sub-stream to H.265 produces a corrupted bitstream that go2rtc rejects with 404. Sub-streams should always remain H.264.
- **front_driveway panoramic:** The 7680×2160 resolution is two 4K sensors stitched side by side. The wide 1536×432 detect resolution in the Frigate config accounts for this.
- **front_right non-standard resolution:** Camera reports 4512×2512 rather than standard 4K. Model unknown — may be a 5MP variant or older sensor.
- **Swap pressure:** jgpc runs ~5.5 GB swap used under normal load. Monitor if adding more cameras or enabling Birdseye.

## Changelog
### 2026-07-07 — Live view fixes, audio, and two-way talk
- **Green-box fix (front_driveway High stream):** the exec transcode crash-looped because Reolink RTSP emits corrupt HEVC frames at stream-join ("PPS changed between slices"); ffmpeg fell back to software decode and the GPU-only `scale_cuda` filter failed. Replaced with `-hwaccel cuvid -c:v hevc_cuvid -resize 3840x1080` — decode + resize stay on the GPU, no filter graph. (Also: NVENC caps H.264 at 4096 px wide, so the 7680×2160 Duo 3 main stream must be scaled before encode.)
- **front_right:** main stream is native H.264 2560×1440 — replaced NVENC transcode with direct passthrough (frees a GPU encode session). Live label renamed "High (Native)".
- **Live stream selectors:** added `live: streams:` (High/Low) to all 6 cameras to pin stream choice per device.
- **Audio:** enabled on-camera mic audio for front_driveway (Duo 3) and shop (both were off in camera firmware); front_driveway transcode now passes AAC (`-c:a copy` instead of `-an`).
- **Two-way talk (all 6 cameras):** each live go2rtc stream now has 3 sources — primary video, `ffmpeg:<name>#audio=opus` (WebRTC audio), and `onvif://<camera>:8000` (backchannel). Added `webrtc: candidates: [192.168.88.41:8555, stun:8555]`. LAN-only unless 8555 tcp/udp is forwarded.
- **LPR:** removed `license_plate` from front_driveway tracked objects — the COCO-80 model has no such label (startup warning); LPR runs via Frigate's dedicated plate detector on `car` objects.
- **Camera-side:** Duo 3 interframe space set to 1x (gop 1) per Frigate live-view docs for faster stream startup/recovery.
