A user could not get the VirtualHere plugin to use their VirtualHere client and asked, reasonably, where the logs were. There was no good answer, and the reason they were stuck turned out to be ours. **The runner could not see /tmp.** `punktfunk-scripting.service` set PrivateTmp=yes, which hands the unit a private tmpfs. But integrating with things already running on the box is the entire job of a plugin, and on Linux those talk over /tmp: VirtualHere's client IPC is the FIFO pair /tmp/vhclient + /tmp/vhclient_response, X11 is /tmp/.X11-unix. So the plugin launched the vendor binary happily and could then never reach the daemon behind it — while the same command worked perfectly in the operator's own shell, because that shell has the real /tmp. No config change could fix it, which is exactly the loop the report described. PrivateTmp is now off, with /tmp added to ReadWritePaths (which ProtectSystem=strict would otherwise make read-only). **Plugin logs now land in the console.** Plugins are not host child processes — the runner is a separate bun process that import()s each plugin in-process — so nothing they print passed through the host's tracing, and the console's Logs page could not show a single plugin line. The fallback was journalctl on Linux; on Windows the runner's scheduled task writes no log file at all, so a failing plugin was diagnosable only by stopping the task and re-running the runner by hand. Both mean shell access on the host box, which is what the console exists to avoid — and it left the one question a stuck user asks with no answer. So the runner now tees its output to POST /api/v1/plugins/logs, and those lines join the host's own ring under one cursor, targeted plugin:<name>. The console grows a Host/Plugins switch beside the level filter; an empty Plugins view says the thing that is actually usually wrong (the runner isn't running) rather than "adjust the filter". The shipper keeps stdout authoritative — journald and foreground output are unchanged whatever the host is doing — and is built so that logging can never hurt the thing being logged: it never throws into a caller, holds a bounded queue that drops oldest and then says how many, backs off when the host is away (a restart is normal), and re-sends a batch the host failed to take. Lines logged while a POST is in flight are kept, which cost one round to get right: the first version held its recursion guard across the await and silently dropped exactly the lines a busy plugin produces. Runner lines that report a failure (a refused unit file, a crashed plugin, a give-up) now go out at warn/error instead of all arriving as INFO, so the console's level filter means something for them.

punktfunk-docs
The Punktfunk documentation site: Fumadocs on TanStack Start (Vite + Nitro/bun preset).
Content lives in content/docs/ as .md/.mdx. This site is the source of truth
for the user-facing guides; design rationale lives in the internal punktfunk-planning repo.
API reference
/api renders the host's management REST API as an interactive
Scalar reference (linked from the top nav, the docs
sidebar, and the landing page). It reads public/openapi.json — a
snapshot of the repo's generated spec. Refresh it after a management-API change:
# from the repo root — regenerate the spec, then copy the snapshot in:
cargo run -p punktfunk-host -- openapi > api/openapi.json
cp api/openapi.json docs-site/public/openapi.json
Nothing in CI diffs the two, so the snapshot goes stale silently — that manual cp is the only
thing keeping them in sync. Before publishing docs, check that they match:
diff <(jq -S . api/openapi.json) <(jq -S . docs-site/public/openapi.json)
That should print nothing. Right now it doesn't: the committed snapshot predates the
/api/v1/update/check, /api/v1/update/apply and /api/v1/update/status endpoints, so the
published /api reference is missing the host self-update surface — re-copy it.
Develop
bun install
bun run dev # http://localhost:3001 (docs at /docs)
CI gates every change on bun run build followed by bun run lint (the TypeScript typecheck), in
that order — the build emits the .source typegen the typecheck imports. Run both before you push.
Build & serve
bun run build
bun run start # serves .output/ via Bun
