- harden-zot-registry: fix Authentik hostname, check off all
  verified items, add metrics config to "what was done"
- enforce-tag-immutability: fix admins permissions (was missing
  update)
- agent-change-process: clarify that requires: is permanent and
  status: active is the only completion marker

# Zot
OCI-native container registry providing pull-through cache and private image storage.
## Quick Reference
| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| **URL** | https://registry.ops.eblu.me |
| **Local Port** | 5050 |
| **Data** | `~/zot` |
| **Config** | `~/.config/zot/config.json` |
| **LaunchAgent** | mcquack |
## Namespace Convention
| Path | Source |
|------|--------|
| `registry.ops.eblu.me/docker.io/*` | Cached from Docker Hub |
| `registry.ops.eblu.me/ghcr.io/*` | Cached from GHCR |
| `registry.ops.eblu.me/quay.io/*` | Cached from Quay |
| `registry.ops.eblu.me/blumeops/*` | Private images |
## Pull-Through Cache
When [[cluster|minikube]] pulls an image, containerd checks zot first. If cached, returns immediately. If not, zot fetches from upstream, caches it, then returns.
## Security Model
OIDC authentication via [[authentik]], with API key support for CI. Three-tier access control:
| Role | Permissions | Use case |
|------|------------|----------|
| Anonymous | read | Pull images without auth |
| `artifact-workloads` group | read, create | CI push (new tags only, no overwrite/delete) |
| `admins` group | read, create, update, delete | Break-glass admin access |
CI authenticates with a zot API key generated from the `zot-ci` service account's OIDC session. The key is stored in the `Forgejo Secrets` 1Password item (field `zot-ci-api`) and synced to Forgejo Actions secrets via ansible.
## API Key Rotation
The `zot-ci` API key expires every **90 days**. To rotate:
1. In Authentik admin UI, impersonate the `zot-ci` user
2. Visit `https://registry.ops.eblu.me` — you'll land on the login page
3. Click "SIGN IN WITH OIDC" to authenticate as zot-ci
4. Navigate to `https://registry.ops.eblu.me/user/apikey`
5. Generate a new API key, copy it to clipboard
6. Update 1Password:
```fish
pbpaste | op item edit "Forgejo Secrets" --vault blumeops "zot-ci-api[password]=-"
```
7. Sync to Forgejo: `mise run provision-indri -- --tags forgejo_actions_secrets`
