T1: one-shot switch przy timeoutcie mid-embed (ścieżka asyncio.wait_for, dotąd nieprzetestowana — scenariusz 'SOLARIA wisi'). T2: breaker zostaje 'down' po mid-embed failure — kolejne requesty w oknie TTL idą prosto na fallback bez probe'a. T3: noga fallbacku nie dziedziczy twardego timeoutu primary. T4 pominięty (semantyka granicy TTL identyczna, wg raportu). Pytest kb-query: 42/42 PASS. S4: pomiar kalibracji 2026-07-27 (peak ~983 MiB, GO) dopisany do override'u i sekcji Calibration w README — master mówił dotąd 'Confirm/trim after live calibration'; konfiguracja kontenera identyczna z mierzoną, pomiar się przenosi. Raport dedup: status zaktualizowany na 'salvage wykonany'. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

ollama-piha
Local CPU Ollama on PIHA, serving exactly one purpose: the fallback embed
backend for kb-query while SOLARIA (the GPU node, ~16 h/day powered off)
sleeps. Model: bge-m3 — the same model as SOLARIA's Ollama, because query
embeddings must live in the same vector space as the pgvector index
(document_chunk.embedding VECTOR(1024)); a different/smaller model is not an
option (module 5 phase 4 plan §2 decision 2).
Expected latency: bge-m3 embeds in ~207 ms on SOLARIA's GPU vs ~790 ms on x86 CPU; on the Pi 5 expect single seconds per query (plus model load, since the model is never resident — see below). Slower but alive beats fast but dead.
Design constraints
OLLAMA_KEEP_ALIVE=0(pinned in compose): PIHA is the RAM-bound 8 GB box shared with Home Assistant. The model is unloaded immediately after every call — a transient ~1.5–2 GB spike per embed, ~100 MB idle daemon, never a resident cost.mem_limit: 2560m(host override,hosts/piha/runtime/ollama-piha/): hard cgroup ceiling, plan §2 D2 starting value. The cgroup OOM killer restarts this container instead of the host OOM killer picking a victim (which could be Home Assistant). Confirm/trim after live calibration.- Bind:
127.0.0.1+LAN_BIND_IP(192.168.31.5) only — kb-query calls it over the host LAN interface (same pattern as kb-query → kb-postgres:5433). Never0.0.0.0, never a Tailscale bind, no public ingress. - Storage: Docker named volume
ollama_piha_models(NVMe data-root), not a bind mount — the ollama image runs as in-container root and would break PIHA's uid pattern (host oskar=1004, containers uid 1000, setgid group pi) if it wrote to a shared bind directory.
Deploy (PIHA, master, after merge)
cd ~/homelab-codex-ws && git pull
cp services/ollama-piha/env.example services/ollama-piha/.env # LAN_BIND_IP
docker compose -f services/ollama-piha/docker-compose.yml \
-f hosts/piha/runtime/ollama-piha/docker-compose.override.yml \
--env-file services/ollama-piha/.env up -d
Then pull the model — this does NOT happen automatically:
docker exec ollama-piha ollama pull bge-m3
Verify:
services/ollama-piha/healthcheck.sh # checks container + API + bge-m3 present
time curl -s http://127.0.0.1:11434/api/embeddings \
-d '{"model":"bge-m3","prompt":"test kalibracyjny"}' | head -c 80
(deploy-node.sh on PIHA also picks this service up from
hosts/piha/services.yaml once .env exists — the ollama pull bge-m3 step
stays manual either way.)
Calibration (plan §5 step 4 — gate, not formality)
Before trusting the fallback under load, on live PIHA at a normal (not
night-quiet) hour: run a few embeds as above while watching
docker stats ollama-piha, note peak RAM and wall time. Verdict per plan §5
step 5: keep as default fallback / tune mem_limit / fall back to explicit
503 degradation.
Calibration status: measured 2026-07-27 — verdict GO (live PIHA under
normal load, 3 consecutive /api/embeddings calls after ollama pull bge-m3;
full protocol in docs/sessions/2026-07-27-kb-f4-fallback.md §4):
- Latency: 5.25 s (cold start) / 4.41 s / 4.16 s — single seconds as expected,
no warm-up between calls by design (
OLLAMA_KEEP_ALIVE=0releases the model after every request,ollama psshows nothing resident in between). - RAM: idle ~66 MiB, burst peak ~983 MiB (
docker statssampled at 0.3 s) — well inside the 2560m ceiling; hostavailablenever dropped below ~1.3 GiB. - Kept as default fallback (no feature flag). The measurement was taken
against the same container configuration this repo deploys (image,
OLLAMA_KEEP_ALIVE=0,mem_limit: 2560m), so it carries over; only the model storage differed (bind mount then, named volume now), which does not affect RAM/latency.
Relation to kb-query
kb-query's router (services/kb-query/app/embed_router.py) health-checks
SOLARIA with a ~30 s cache and only sends embeds here while SOLARIA is down.
kb-query verifies at first use that this backend actually serves bge-m3
(/api/tags) and refuses to embed against a mismatched model. Configuration:
EMBED_FALLBACK_URL=http://192.168.31.5:11434 in services/kb-query/.env.
See services/kb-query/README.md for the fallback verification plan (tests
A/B/C).
