Add complete server diagnostic collector to docs-next

[githubsaturn]

Summary

• Add the complete 26-section collector used in CapRover issue #2377, with the diagnostic commands and container probes preserved.
• Explain how to download and inspect the script, run it on a Swarm manager, read the report, and review its contents before posting it publicly.
• Link the report workflow from server diagnostics, including the confirmed port-80 host NGINX example.

Verification

• sh -n scripts/caprover-diagnostic.sh
• Compared collector section and probe counts against the issue script: all 26 sections and both temporary container probes retained; only explanatory comments and the final sharing reminder changed.
• npm run build in docs-site: English, Spanish, and Chinese builds passed.

The script has not been run on a live CapRover host in this change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added a diagnostic collector for Debian- and Ubuntu-based Swarm managers to gather host, resource, storage, network, service, and system-log information into a private report.
  • The collector only runs temporary container checks when the required images are already available locally and does not change CapRover services or pull images.
• Documentation
  • Updated diagnostic guidance with instructions for running the collector, interpreting results, and reviewing and redacting the report before sharing relevant sections.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a root-only diagnostic script for Debian or Ubuntu Swarm managers. The script collects host, Docker Swarm, and CapRover information in a restricted report. Documentation explains when and how to run the collector and how to review and redact its output.

Changes

Server diagnostics

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Run the collector and produce a report scripts/caprover-diagnostic.sh, content/en/docs-next/server/diagnostics.md, content/en/docs-next/troubleshooting/diagnostics.md	The script requires root and writes a diagnostic report. The guides link to the collection instructions and describe when and how to run the script, then review and redact the report.
Collect host and Swarm state scripts/caprover-diagnostic.sh	The script records host resources, storage, ports, web-server status, local HTTP responses, Docker and runtime details, and Swarm state.
Inspect CapRover services and files scripts/caprover-diagnostic.sh	The script lists containers, inspects CapRover services and selected logs, and checks CapRover paths, mounts, and permissions.
Collect system checks and summarize findings scripts/caprover-diagnostic.sh	The script inspects Docker networks, system logs, package history, firewall rules, and security status. Temporary image tests run only when the images are already local. The script prints a summary and restricts report permissions.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f5919

If the report cannot be written completely, the collector may still say it succeeded. Fix the completion check before relying on reports from affected hosts.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f5919

The collector is intended for an administrator to inspect before running, and it does not automatically publish its report. The documented download nevertheless comes from a changing branch before execution as root on a Swarm manager. The report also gathers more potentially private information than the previous troubleshooting guidance.

Retained concerns

• Medium · security · inferred: The new instructions execute a script downloaded from a mutable branch as root on a Swarm manager. Inspection is advised, but the workflow does not pin or verify the version that receives that authority.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — If the downloaded script were replaced before execution, its root execution on the Swarm manager could affect the manager host and the Docker resources it administers. The supplied script itself does not implement remote invocation.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — The provenance concern requires a changed or compromised downloaded script, or equivalent interference before the operator runs it. The separate download-and-inspect step limits this path; no compromise or malicious script content is evidenced.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Root identity is checked before collection. The report is created with a restrictive umask, is not automatically uploaded, and the documentation requires review and redaction before public sharing.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — Manual review is the control at the public-sharing boundary. Because the full report can include service logs and process arguments, an operator sharing it without the instructed redaction could disclose information across applications; the PR does not automate that sharing.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Consider distributing a version-pinned collector with a verification step for the file that will be executed as root, while retaining the instruction to inspect it.
