| Backup and Failover | backup dns, failover, redundancy, reliability | Ensure connectivity during DNS outages |
Adding New Integration Rules
When adding a new integration rule:
- Create a new file in
rules/using kebab-case naming - Follow the rule template structure from
templates/rule-template.md - Include platform-specific configuration examples
- Add troubleshooting steps for common issues
- Register the rule in the appropriate table above
- Run
pnpm lint:fixto ensure compliance
Example Integration Platforms
Consider creating rules for these popular platforms:
Capability Rules:
- Tailscale (mesh VPN)
- Home Assistant (smart home automation)
- Ubiquiti UniFi (network controller)
- OpenWrt (router firmware)
- pfSense (firewall/router)
- Docker (containerization)
- Kubernetes (orchestration)
- Synology NAS (network storage)
Efficiency Rules:
- Multi-platform deployment strategy
- Integration testing and validation
- Backup DNS and failover configuration
