Erich Blume 1c32e351f7 Backfill date-modified frontmatter on all docs
Dagger's --src=. excludes .git, so Quartz can't use git history for
page dates inside containers. Populate date-modified: YYYY-MM-DD in
frontmatter for all 80 doc articles so the frontmatter priority level
(highest in quartz.config.ts) works with or without git.

Gandi

DNS hosting provider for the eblu.me domain, managed via Pulumi IaC.

Quick Reference

Property Value
Domain eblu.me
Provider Gandi LiveDNS
IaC pulumi/gandi/
Stack eblu-me

What It Does

Gandi hosts the DNS records that make *.ops.eblu.me resolve to indri's Tailscale IP (indri.tail8d86e.ts.net). Since Tailscale IPs are not publicly routable, this gives services real DNS names while keeping them private to the tailnet.

The target IP is resolved dynamically from indri.tail8d86e.ts.net at deploy time, so if indri's Tailscale IP changes, re-running the deployment is sufficient.

DNS Records

Private services (Caddy on indri)

Record Type Value TTL
*.ops.eblu.me A indri's Tailscale IP 300s
ops.eblu.me A indri's Tailscale IP 300s

Both records point to indri, which runs caddy as the reverse proxy for all private services.

Public services (Fly.io proxy)

Record Type Value TTL
docs.eblu.me CNAME blumeops-proxy.fly.dev 300s

Public CNAMEs point to flyio-proxy on Fly.io. See expose-service-publicly for adding new public services.

See routing for the full service URL map.

Pulumi Configuration

The Pulumi program lives in pulumi/gandi/:

  • __main__.py - Creates the two A records via pulumiverse_gandi
  • Pulumi.eblu-me.yaml - Stack config (domain, subdomain)

Stack config values:

Key Value
blumeops-dns:domain eblu.me
blumeops-dns:subdomain ops

A break-glass override is available via the BLUMEOPS_REVERSE_PROXY_IP environment variable, which bypasses dynamic IP resolution.

TLS Integration

caddy uses Gandi's API separately (via GANDI_BEARER_TOKEN) for ACME DNS-01 challenges to obtain a wildcard Let's Encrypt certificate for *.ops.eblu.me. This is a different credential from the Pulumi PAT.

Authentication

Gandi requires a Personal Access Token (PAT) for API access. PATs have a maximum lifetime of 90 days (currently set to 30). See gandi-operations for deployment and PAT cycling instructions.
