Erich Blume 5af97e6a7e Drop build_changelog, simplify build_docs to Quartz-only
build_changelog is no longer needed — towncrier now runs on the runner
before Dagger. build_docs becomes the direct Quartz build (no towncrier
delegation). Update docs to match.

Dagger

Build engine for BlumeOps CI/CD pipelines. Replaces shell-based build scripts with Python functions that run identically locally and in CI.

Quick Reference

Property Value
Module blumeops-ci
Engine Version v0.19.11
SDK Python
Source .dagger/src/blumeops_ci/main.py
Config dagger.json

Functions

Function Signature Description
build (src, container_name) → Container Build a container from containers/<name>/Dockerfile
publish (src, container_name, version, registry?) → str Build and push to registry (default: registry.ops.eblu.me)
build_docs (src, version) → File Build Quartz docs site, return docs tarball

CLI Examples

# Build a container
dagger call build --src=. --container-name=devpi

# Drop into container shell for inspection
dagger call build --src=. --container-name=devpi terminal

# Debug a failure interactively
dagger call --interactive build --src=. --container-name=devpi

# Publish a container to zot
dagger call publish --src=. --container-name=devpi --version=v1.1.0

# Build docs tarball locally
dagger call build-docs --src=. --version=dev export --path=./docs-dev.tar.gz

# Debug a docs build failure
dagger call --interactive build-docs --src=. --version=dev

Secrets

Dagger has a first-class Secret type — values are never logged or cached. Pass secrets from environment variables using the env:VAR syntax:

dagger call release-docs \
  --src=. --version=v1.6.0 \
  --forgejo-token=env:FORGEJO_TOKEN \
  --argocd-token=env:ARGOCD_TOKEN

In forgejo Actions, secrets are injected as env vars. Locally, mise tasks call op read to populate them.

Caveats

  • Pre-1.0 API — Current version is v0.19.x. Pin the CLI version and test upgrades on a branch before adopting.
  • Privileged container — The Dagger engine requires privileged container access. The Forgejo runner's DinD sidecar provides this.
  • forgejo — CI/CD trigger layer
  • zot — Container registry (publish target)
  • docs — Documentation site (build target)
  • adopt-dagger-ci — Adoption plan (phases 13 complete)
