Homelab Emergency Shutdown

Graceful fleet shutdown procedure for power outages, storms, or maintenance.

Order of Operations

1. Stop game servers (CT125, CT123) — they’re the most state-sensitive
2. Stop Gestalt (CT112) — save BVH/embodiment state
3. Stop Hermes (CT124, WebUI) — save sessions
4. Stop ancillary services (CT110 TTS, CT118 Caddy)
5. Stop VMs/CTs in order — least critical first
6. Shut down Proxmox hosts — forge01 → workhorse → edge01 (router last)

Startup (reverse order)

1. Power on edge01 (router) — wait for OPNsense
2. Power on workhorse → forge01
3. Start core CTs: Caddy → Hermes → Gestalt
4. Start game servers: MapleStory → 2004scape
