The React bundle hash changes every time the UI is rebuilt. With the old
no-clobber approach, a redeployed container kept serving the old bundle
because the static/ directory already existed on the data volume.
Fix: always overwrite index.html, asset-manifest.json, and the entire
static/ subdirectory from /core/static on every container start. These
are build artifacts (not operator-edited content) so overwriting is safe.
All other top-level entries (channels/, config/, etc.) remain no-clobber.
The Restreamer UI bundle includes subdirectories (_player,
_playersite, static, locales) and the Dockerfile copies the whole
tree into /core/static. seed-data.sh on first boot was using flat
'cp -p' which errors on directories with 'omitting directory ...';
set -e then exits, the container restarts forever in a crash loop,
and Core never starts.
Fix: 'cp -Rp' so directories are copied as trees. The no-clobber
check on the top-level name still keeps operator-edited content
safe — if /core/data/_player exists we don't replace it, even if
its internals diverge from the bundled version.
Also defends against dotfiles via the second glob.

A clean post-merge deploy showed an unintended UX wart: hitting
http://<host>:<port>/ in a browser returned 404 'File not found'
because Core's static-disk handler serves /core/data and we never
put anything there. Functionally fine — the API and Swagger are
reachable on /api and /api/swagger — but a confusing first
impression for a brand-new operator.
Fix is deploy-side, not code-side: ship a small landing page +
the existing test/whep-player.html as default content for the data
volume.
Pieces:
deploy/truenas/core/static/
index.html — Dragon Fork-branded landing page; links
to Swagger and the WHEP player; live
/api status panel.
whep-player.html — same self-contained Pion subscriber that
lives at test/whep-player.html.
deploy/truenas/core/seed-data.sh
First-boot script. Copies /core/static/* into /core/data/
only when the destination filename doesn't already exist —
operator-supplied content is never clobbered, so this is a
safe addition that respects upstream's contract that
/core/data is operator-owned.
deploy/truenas/core/Dockerfile
COPYs the static dir and seed script into the runtime image,
wraps the entrypoint as 'seed-data.sh && exec run.sh' (run.sh
itself is unchanged from upstream).
Image size impact: ~15KB.
