Monitoring agent — setup (5 minutes)
This adds ONE container that reports sync status to the central dashboard. It does NOT touch your existing containers. It only READS two folders.
1. Install Tailscale (creates the network path to the dashboard)
curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh
sudo tailscale up # log in via the link (account details come separately)
2. Edit .env — only 2 values need changing
COLLECTOR_URL→ I'll send you the IP (looks like http://100.x.y.z:4400)AGENT_TOKEN→ I'll send you the token separately
The three folder paths are already set for your machine — if your setup differs, they must match the host paths in your rclone-synology-sync volumes.
3. Start it
docker compose up -d --build
docker logs rclone-agent
Expected log line: [agent] JAGAN-TEST-01 (TEST) -> http://100...:4400
If it says "collector unreachable", check tailscale status and tell me.
That's all. Nothing else on your machine changes.
