Procedure
Read fully before acting.- VIN is the public entry point: if it is down, everything published is offline even when Home1 is healthy.
- Check the provider console for the VPS power state before assuming a software fault.
- Verify Caddy is listening on 80/443. Do not edit the Caddyfile as part of an incident response; it is managed configuration.
- Confirm the WireGuard tunnel to Home1 is up before restarting the control plane.
- This status console binds 127.0.0.1 only — reach it through an SSH tunnel, not a public route.
