## Summary
- Delete `ansible/roles/frigate_detector/` and remove from indri playbook — the Apple Silicon Detector is retired
- Move Mosquitto (MQTT) ArgoCD app from indri minikube to ringtail k3s
- Move ntfy ArgoCD app from indri minikube to ringtail k3s
- Update Frigate docs to reflect detector removal and planned RTX 4080 migration
- Manifests are reused as-is (same `argocd/manifests/mosquitto/` and `argocd/manifests/ntfy/`), just pointed at ringtail
## Deployment
After merge:
1. Sync indri ArgoCD `apps` app with prune to remove old mosquitto/ntfy apps:
```
argocd app sync apps --prune
```
2. Sync new ringtail apps:
```
argocd app sync mosquitto-ringtail
argocd app sync ntfy-ringtail
```
3. Manually clean up the detector LaunchAgent on indri:
```
ssh indri 'launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/mcquack.eblume.frigate-detector.plist'
ssh indri 'rm ~/Library/LaunchAgents/mcquack.eblume.frigate-detector.plist'
```
## Notes
- Frigate on indri will lose MQTT/ntfy connectivity — this is expected (user confirmed no downtime concerns)
- ntfy Tailscale Ingress hostname `ntfy` will transfer from indri ProxyGroup to ringtail ProxyGroup
- Caddy on indri proxies `ntfy.ops.eblu.me` → `ntfy.tail8d86e.ts.net`, so no Caddy changes needed
- Frigate + frigate-notify will be ported to ringtail in a follow-up PR

## Summary
Extends ringtail from a desktop/gaming NixOS box into an infrastructure node with a k3s cluster, secrets management, and a Forgejo Actions
runner for building containers with Nix.
### K3s cluster
- Single-node k3s with Traefik/ServiceLB/metrics-server disabled (minimal footprint)
- TLS SAN set to `ringtail.tail8d86e.ts.net` so ArgoCD on indri can manage it via Tailscale
- Containerd registry mirrors pull through Zot on indri (`k3s-registries.yaml`)
- Tailscale interface added to `trustedInterfaces` for cross-node ArgoCD access
- `kubectl` added to system packages
### 1Password Connect + External Secrets Operator
- Four new ArgoCD apps targeting `k3s-ringtail`: `1password-connect-ringtail`, `external-secrets-crds-ringtail`, `external-secrets-ringtail`,
`external-secrets-config-ringtail`
- Reuses the same Helm charts/values as indri, just pointed at ringtail's k3s API server
- Bootstrap secrets (`op-credentials`, `onepassword-token`) provisioned by Ansible pre_tasks via `op read`, then applied to the `1password`
namespace in post_tasks
### Systemd Forgejo Actions runner
- Native `services.gitea-actions-runner` with `forgejo-runner` package — no DinD, no k8s pod, runs directly on the NixOS host
- Label `nix-container-builder:host` — jobs execute on the host with `nix`, `skopeo`, `nodejs`, etc. in PATH
- Registration token fetched from 1Password (`Forgejo Secrets/runner_reg`) by Ansible and written to `/etc/forgejo-runner/token.env`
- Runner's dynamic user (`gitea-runner`) added to `nix.settings.trusted-users` for nix daemon access
### Nix container build workflow
- New `.forgejo/workflows/build-container-nix.yaml` triggers on `*-nix-v[0-9]*` tags (e.g. `nettest-nix-v1.0.0`)
- Builds with `nix build -f containers/<name>/default.nix`, pushes to Zot via `skopeo copy`
- Existing Dockerfile workflow guarded with `if: !contains(github.ref_name, '-nix-v')` to avoid double-triggering
### Mise task updates
- `container-tag-and-release` auto-detects `default.nix` vs `Dockerfile` and uses the appropriate tag format (`-nix-v` vs `-v`)
- `container-list` shows build type indicator (`[nix]` / `[dockerfile]`)
## Post-merge
1. `mise run provision-ringtail` — deploys k3s token, runner token, NixOS rebuild
2. Register k3s cluster in ArgoCD (first time only):
```fish
ssh ringtail 'sudo cat /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml' | \
sed 's|127.0.0.1|ringtail.tail8d86e.ts.net|' > /tmp/k3s-ringtail.yaml
set -x KUBECONFIG /tmp/k3s-ringtail.yaml
argocd cluster add default --name k3s-ringtail
3. Sync ArgoCD apps in order: 1password-connect-ringtail -> external-secrets-crds-ringtail -> external-secrets-ringtail ->
external-secrets-config-ringtail
4. Verify runner: ssh ringtail 'systemctl status gitea-runner-nix-container-builder'
5. Check Forgejo admin panel for ringtail-nix-builder runner online
6. Test: create containers/<name>/default.nix, tag with <name>-nix-v0.1.0

## Summary
- Bump External Secrets Operator Helm chart from `helm-chart-1.3.1` to `helm-chart-2.0.0` (operator v1.3.2)
- Updates both the operator app and CRDs app `targetRevision`
- No Helm values changes needed — `installCRDs`, `resources`, `webhook`, `certController` keys are unchanged
## Breaking changes in chart 2.0.0
- **Removed providers:** Alibaba and Device42 (unmaintained) — does not affect our 1Password setup
- **Templating engine v1 deprecated** — our ExternalSecrets don't set `engineVersion`, so they use the default (v2)
- **Webhook `failurePolicy`** for SecretStore is now dynamic
## Deployment
1. Sync CRDs first: `argocd app set external-secrets-crds --revision update/external-secrets-helm-2.0.0 && argocd app sync external-secrets-crds`
2. Sync operator: `argocd app set external-secrets --revision update/external-secrets-helm-2.0.0 && argocd app sync external-secrets`
3. Verify: `kubectl --context=minikube-indri -n external-secrets get pods`
4. After merge, set both apps back to `--revision main`

## Summary
Review session covering 3 docs, plus a codebase-wide cleanup:
### Docs reviewed
- **connect-to-postgres** — verified end-to-end (psql connection tested), stamped
- **create-release-artifact-workflow** — clarified that `build-blumeops.yaml` is only a version bump example (not a packages API example)
- **deploy-k8s-service** — fixed stale repoURL (`indri:2200` → `forge.ops.eblu.me:2222`), wrong Caddy config keys (`upstream` → `backend`, added missing `host`), updated Homepage group to "Services", added Tailscale tag documentation
### Codebase cleanup
- Migrated all remaining `op item get --fields` calls to `op read` URI syntax across 7 files (docs, READMEs, YAML comments)
- Simplified the `op read` vs `op item get` guidance in CLAUDE.md
## Side findings (not addressed)
- New `immich-pg` CNPG cluster not yet documented in the postgresql reference card
## Test plan
- [x] `psql` connection to `pg.ops.eblu.me` verified
- [x] All pre-commit hooks pass
- [x] `docs-check-links`, `docs-check-index`, `docs-check-frontmatter` pass

## Summary
- Remove hajimari (unmaintained since Oct 2022, broken helm deps)
- Add gethomepage (28k stars, actively maintained, monthly releases)
- Migrate custom apps, bookmarks, and search config
- Enable k8s RBAC for service autodiscovery
- Configure Tailscale ingress at go.tail8d86e.ts.net
## Why the switch
Hajimari hasn't released since October 2022. The helm chart has a broken
dependency (bjw-s/common URL is 404), and unreleased code on main has bugs.
gethomepage has similar k8s autodiscovery via ingress annotations and is
very actively maintained.
## Deployment and Testing
- [ ] Delete hajimari app from ArgoCD
- [ ] Delete hajimari namespace
- [ ] Sync apps to pick up new homepage app
- [ ] Sync homepage app
- [ ] Verify go.ops.eblu.me loads

## Summary
- Remove ansible roles for services migrated to k8s: devpi, kiwix, transmission
- Also remove unused node_exporter and podman ansible roles
- Remove service tags from indri for k8s-hosted services (grafana, kiwix, devpi, pg, feed)
- Update indri description to reflect current architecture
## Changes
**Ansible roles removed** (34 files, ~1000 lines):
