Some checks failed
Deploy Fly.io Proxy / deploy (push) Failing after 9s
Add Fly.io public reverse proxy for docs.eblu.me (#120)
## Summary

- Adds a Fly.io reverse proxy (`blumeops-proxy`) that tunnels public traffic to homelab services over Tailscale
- First service exposed: `docs.eblu.me` — the Quartz static docs site
- Includes Pulumi IaC for Tailscale auth key/ACLs and Gandi DNS CNAME
- Adds mise tasks (`fly-deploy`, `fly-setup`, `fly-shutoff`) and Forgejo CI workflow

## Key details

- Fly.io Firecracker VMs support TUN devices natively — no userspace networking needed
- Tailscale auth key is `preauthorized=True` to avoid device approval hangs on container restarts
- nginx caches aggressively for the static site; health check is on the default_server block
- ACLs restrict `tag:flyio-proxy` to `tag:k8s` on port 443 only
- DNS CNAME deployed and verified: `docs.eblu.me` → `blumeops-proxy.fly.dev`

## Test plan

- [x] `curl -sf https://blumeops-proxy.fly.dev/healthz` returns `ok`
- [x] `curl -I -H "Host: docs.eblu.me" https://blumeops-proxy.fly.dev/` returns 200 with `X-Cache-Status`
- [x] `curl -I https://docs.eblu.me/` returns 200 with valid Let's Encrypt cert
- [x] `dig forge.ops.eblu.me` still resolves to 100.98.163.89 (private services unaffected)
- [x] Set `FLY_DEPLOY_TOKEN` Forgejo Actions secret for CI auto-deploy

# Exploring the Documentation
> **Audiences:** All (Owner, AI, Reader, Contributor, Replicator)
This guide explains how the BlumeOps documentation is organized and how to find what you need.
## Documentation Structure
The docs follow the [Diataxis](https://diataxis.fr/) framework:
| Section | Purpose | When to Use |
|---------|---------|-------------|
| **[[tutorials|Tutorials]]** | Learning-oriented | "I'm new and want to understand" |
| **[[reference|Reference]]** | Information-oriented | "I need specific technical details" |
| **[[how-to|How-to]]** | Task-oriented | "I need to do X" |
| **[[explanation|Explanation]]** | Understanding-oriented | "I want to understand why" |
## Quick Paths by Audience
### For Erich (Owner)
You probably want quick access to operational details:
- [[how-to]] guides for common operations (deploy, troubleshoot, update ACLs)
- [[reference]] has service URLs, commands, and config locations
- [[ai-assistance-guide]] explains how to work effectively with Claude
- Run `mise run zk-docs` to prime AI context with key documentation
### For Claude/AI Agents
Context for effective assistance:
- Read [[ai-assistance-guide]] for operational conventions
- [[reference]] has the technical specifics you'll need
- The repo's `CLAUDE.md` has critical rules (especially the kubectl context requirement)
### For External Readers
Understanding what this is:
- [[explanation]] covers the "why" behind design decisions
- [[reference]] shows what's actually running
- Browse service pages to see specific implementations
### For Contributors
Getting started with changes:
- [[contributing]] walks through the workflow
- [[how-to]] guides for specific tasks (deploy services, add roles)
- [[reference]] tells you where things live
### For Replicators
Replicators are people who want to build their own similar homelab GitOps setup, using BlumeOps as inspiration.
- [[replicating-blumeops]] provides the overview, with linked tutorials that go deep on individual components
- [[explanation]] covers architecture and design rationale
- Reference pages show specific configuration choices
## Using Wiki Links
Documentation uses `[[wiki-links]]` for cross-references:
- `[[service-name]]` links to a reference page
- `[[page|Display Text]]` customizes the link text
When reading on the web (docs.eblu.me), these render as clickable links. The backlinks panel shows what references each page.
Pre-commit hooks automatically validate that all wiki-links point to existing files and that link targets are unambiguous.
## AI Context Priming
The `zk-docs` mise task concatenates key documentation files for AI context:
```bash
mise run zk-docs -- --style=header --color=never --decorations=always
```
This outputs the AI assistance guide, reference index, how-to index, architecture overview, and tutorials index - providing Claude with essential context for BlumeOps operations.
