Makes indri the canonical **heph** hub for the hub-and-spoke task/context system, deployed as a self-updating LaunchAgent managed by Ansible. Other devices (gilbert) attach as offline-capable spokes.
## What's here
- **`ansible/roles/heph`** (tag `heph`) — bootstrap `cargo install hephd` (only if absent; `--self-update` keeps it current after), version-pinned `heph-pwa` checkout served via `--web-root`, launchagent `mcquack.eblume.heph`:
```
hephd --mode server --http-addr 0.0.0.0:8787 --db … --web-root …
--oidc-issuer …/o/heph/ --oidc-audience heph
--self-update --self-update-interval-secs 600
```
`~/.cargo/bin` is on the agent `PATH` so self-update's `cargo install` works.
- **Caddy** — `heph.ops.eblu.me → localhost:8787` (TLS for the PWA secure context).
- **Authentik** — new `heph` **public device-code** OIDC app + `default-device-code-flow` bound to the default brand's `flow_device_code` (verified live: brand `authentik-default`, field currently unset → additive).
- **Docs** — `services/hephaestus.md` (Path-A seeding runbook + spoke caveat), `indri.md`, changelog fragment.
## Three features requested
- **Autoupdate** — 10-min interval (`--self-update-interval-secs 600`).
- **PWA** — `--web-root` (confirmed shipped in v1.2.0).
- **Spoke** — gilbert reconfig documented (post-merge step).
## Deploy plan (not done yet — awaiting review)
1. Seed from gilbert (Path A): `heph daemon stop` → copy `heph.db` → `DELETE FROM meta WHERE key='origin'`.
2. Sync Authentik `apps`/blueprint; verify blueprint status via API (not just logs).
3. `provision-indri --tags heph,caddy` from this branch.
4. Point gilbert at the hub + `heph auth login`.
## Known follow-ups (heph-side, tracked in the Hephaestus project)
- `heph daemon` can't bake hub/spoke config or pass `--self-update-interval-secs` → worked around by the ansible plist.
- Path-A seeding lacks a clean `hephd --owner-id`/seed command → manual `meta.origin` reset for now.
- Self-update moves hephd ahead of the ansible-pinned PWA shell over time (drift; tolerated by the SW cache, revisit on next release).

blumeops
aka "Blue Mops"
Tools and configuration for Erich Blume's personal infrastructure, orchestrated across a Tailscale tailnet.
This is a homelab, but it's also a testing ground for AI-assisted infrastructure development. Much of this codebase was initially co-authored with Claude Code, and the repo places heavy emphasis on documentation, process, and change classification to make that collaboration work well. I don't know entirely how I feel about LLMs in our current era (there are real concerns about how training data is sourced and energy subsidy) but it felt important to learn how to work with these tools.
The full documentation is published at docs.eblu.me
and lives in the docs/ directory, structured around the
Diataxis framework and designed to be compatible with
Obsidian/Obsidian.nvim.
What runs here
Services are a mix of Kubernetes pods (managed by ArgoCD), macOS LaunchAgent services (managed by Ansible), and NixOS systemd services (managed by Nix flakes), all connected via Tailscale:
- Indri (Mac Mini M1) - primary server. Most services run in Minikube via ArgoCD; Forgejo, Caddy, and others run natively as LaunchAgent services via Ansible.
- Ringtail (NixOS desktop, RTX 4080) - GPU workloads (Frigate NVR, Authentik SSO) on k3s, plus NixOS systemd services.
- Sifaka (Synology NAS) - backup target and bulk storage.
Notable services include Grafana/Prometheus/Loki observability, Immich photos, Jellyfin media, Forgejo git forge, a Zot container registry, and more. Public access is routed through a Fly.io proxy; everything else is tailnet-only.

Getting started
You'll need Homebrew and mise:
brew bundle # install CLI tools (argocd, tea, flyctl, etc.)
mise install # install managed toolchains (ansible, pulumi, dagger, etc.)
prek install # set up git hooks
Git hooks (via prek) enforce secret scanning
(TruffleHog), linting, formatting, and custom checks like doc link validation
and the Mikado branch invariant. They run automatically on git commit.
Operational tasks are driven through mise. Run mise tasks to see what's
available. Key examples:
mise run provision-indri # deploy to indri via Ansible
mise run services-check # verify service health
mise run container-list # list tracked container images
AI-assisted development
This repo is designed to be worked on by both humans and AI agents. The
AGENTS.md file provides shared instructions for agentic tools, and the
docs/tutorials/ai-assistance-guide.md
explains the full workflow.
Changes are classified before starting work:
- C0 - quick fixes, committed directly to main
- C1 - feature branch + PR, documentation written before code
- C2 - multi-phase work using the Mikado method for dependency tracking
See the agent change process for details.
