app3 Site Publish Audit - 2026-09-12

Purpose. Precondition gate for the 2026-09-12 S3 backup-mirror cleanup. User directive: "leave 815bistro alone. that's a live client site that should be on app3 with all of the other websites. Make sure that all of the sites on app3 are currently published before deleting anything."

Method. Domain list derived from app3 docroots (/home/*/htdocs/*/ on 152.53.241.111), 34 unique domains. For each: dig +short <d> A for DNS, then curl -L --max-redirs 5 -w '%{http_code}|%{url_effective}' against https://<d>/. Script: /root/.hermes/scripts/audit-app3-sites.sh. Raw evidence: /tmp/app3-audit-final.txt.

Result: 34 tested, 28 published (HTTP 200), 6 not.

Domain DNS HTTP Final URL Verdict
boxpilotlogistics.com 188.114.96.3, .97.3 (Cloudflare) 301 https://www.boxpilotlogistics.com/ BROKEN - apex/www redirect loop, never reaches a served page
vigilanttac.com 104.21.83.95, 172.67.220.243 (Cloudflare) 301 https://www.vigilanttac.com/ BROKEN - apex/www redirect loop, never reaches a served page

timapta.org 188.114.96.4, .97.4 (Cloudflare) 301 https://ptatime.org/ BROKEN FORWARD - ptatime.org itself has no DNS records
forms.itpropartner.com 152.53.241.111 (app3) 404 https://forms.itpropartner.com/ NOT A DEFECT - POST-only API, see below
iamgmb.com 188.114.97.3, .96.3 (Cloudflare) 200 https://www.google.com/ Suspicious - public domain 301s to google.com (decommissioned Aug 9 2026)

Details

  • boxpilotlogistics.com / vigilanttac.com. Both are WordPress installs on app3 fronted by Cloudflare (301 carries x-redirect-by: WordPress). Apex 301s to www, and www 301s back to apex; after 5 redirects curl is still on a 301 and never receives a body. Browsers surface "this page isn't redirecting properly". Both client sites are effectively down.
  • voipsimplicity.com + www. Zero A records, yet the full WordPress install exists on app3 at /home/voipsimplicity/htdocs/voipsimplicity.com/ and /home/voipsimplicity/htdocs/www/. my.voipsimplicity.com (Cloudflare) is up and returns 200. The marketing site is unreachable.
  • timapta.org. Correctly 301s per the TIMA forwarding setup, but the target ptatime.org has no DNS records, so the forward dead-ends. Verified: dig +short ptatime.org is empty.
  • forms.itpropartner.com. msp-forms.service (MSP Shared Form Handler, FastAPI) is active (running) since 2026-08-21, listening on 127.0.0.1:8700 (uvicorn pid 1498), nginx fronts it on 443. GET / returns {"detail":"Not Found"} - the expected FastAPI 404 for a POST-only handler. No action needed.
  • iamgmb.com. Returns 200 but the final URL is https://www.google.com/. The domain was decommissioned 2026-08-09; a redirect to Google is not a normal retirement. Needs an owner decision (park, 410, or forward to itpropartner.com).

815bistro.com - NOT on app3

User directive is to leave it alone because it "should be on app3 with all of the other websites." It is not on app3 and never was migrated. There is no 815bistro docroot among the 34 app3 sites, and both the apex and www resolve to 35.212.86.161, the SiteGround box (SiteGround runs on GCP, so the IP reverse-resolves into *.bc.googleusercontent.com). The site itself is live (200) on SiteGround.

Consequence for the cleanup: the only 815bistro artifact in our possession is the export at /root/.hermes/.backups/siteground/815bistro.com/ (261 MB). It was explicitly removed from the delete list and explicitly removed from the sync-exclude list so it keeps mirroring. This site still needs migrating to app3.

Cleanup impact

Nothing deleted on 2026-09-12 touched app3 site content. Deletion targets were stale Hermes/UNMS backup mirrors in s3://hermes-vps-backups/live/.backups/ plus stale data on the standby. Held back: .backups/siteground/ (815bistro) and .backups/wphost02-backup-2026-07-10.tar.gz (fallback data for the 8 WordPress sites migrated to app3 - held until boxpilotlogistics.com and vigilanttac.com are verified healthy).
