# Pi-Kit quick rescue (offline note)

Keep this handy if the web dashboard is down. You’re already in via SSH, so here’s what to check next.

## Where to find this note
- `/root/RESCUE.md`
- `/home/dietpi/RESCUE.md`
- `/var/www/pikit-web/RESCUE.md`

## Fast service reset
```bash
sudo systemctl status nginx pikit-api          # check
sudo systemctl restart nginx pikit-api         # restart both
```

## Logs to inspect
```bash
sudo tail -n 100 /var/log/nginx/error.log
sudo tail -n 100 /var/log/pikit-api.log
```

## Check system health
```bash
df -h                                          # disk space
free -h                                        # memory
sudo systemctl status unattended-upgrades      # auto-update service
sudo systemctl status apt-daily.timer apt-daily-upgrade.timer
```

## If services won’t start
```bash
sudo nginx -t                                  # validate nginx config
sudo journalctl -u nginx -u pikit-api -n 100   # detailed service logs
```
