Move 21 blumeops-tagged zettelkasten cards from ~/code/personal/zk/ to docs/ in this repository. These files are symlinked back into the zk at ~/code/personal/zk/blumeops for seamless obsidian.nvim integration. This enables: - Git-managed documentation in the blumeops repo - Preserved wiki links between blumeops docs - obsidian-sync isolation (docs don't sync to other devices) - Direct editing via obsidian.nvim with the blumeops workspace Also updates zk-docs mise task to read from local docs/ directory.

Zot Registry Management Log
Zot is an OCI-native container registry running on Indri, providing:
- Pull-through cache for Docker Hub, GHCR, Quay (avoids rate limits)
- Private image storage for custom-built containers
Service Details
- URL: https://registry.ops.eblu.me
- Local port: 5050
- Data directory: ~/zot
- Config: ~/.config/zot/config.json
- Managed via: mcquack LaunchAgent
Namespace Convention
| Path | Source |
|---|---|
registry.../docker.io/* |
Cached from Docker Hub |
registry.../ghcr.io/* |
Cached from GHCR |
registry.../quay.io/* |
Cached from Quay |
registry.../blumeops/* |
Private images (yours) |
How It Works
Pull-Through Cache (Automatic)
When minikube pulls an image like docker.io/library/nginx:latest:
- Containerd checks zot first (via
host.minikube.internal:5050) - If zot has it cached, returns immediately
- If not, zot fetches from upstream, caches it, returns to k8s
Cached images appear under their original registry path (e.g., docker.io/library/nginx).
Private Images (Manual Push)
Build and push from gilbert using podman:
# Build
podman build -t registry.ops.eblu.me/blumeops/myapp:v1 .
# Push to zot
podman push registry.ops.eblu.me/blumeops/myapp:v1
# Use in k8s manifest
image: registry.ops.eblu.me/blumeops/myapp:v1
Private images go under blumeops/* namespace. Example: the devpi container is at registry.ops.eblu.me/blumeops/devpi:latest.
Security Model
Network access only - no authentication configured. Anyone who can reach zot via Tailscale ACL can push/pull any image. Defense is the tailnet boundary.
Zot supports htpasswd/LDAP/OIDC auth if needed in the future.
Minikube Integration
The minikube cluster uses zot as a registry mirror via containerd configuration. Managed by the ansible minikube role.
From inside minikube, zot is at host.minikube.internal:5050. Containerd tries the mirror first, falls back to upstream if not cached.
Mirrors configured for: registry.ops.eblu.me, docker.io, ghcr.io, quay.io
Useful Commands
# List all cached/pushed images
curl -s http://indri:5050/v2/_catalog | jq
# List tags for an image
curl -s http://indri:5050/v2/blumeops/devpi/tags/list | jq
# Check service status
ssh indri 'launchctl list | grep zot'
# View logs
ssh indri 'tail -f ~/Library/Logs/mcquack.zot.err.log'
Log
2026-01-25
- Migrated from Tailscale serve to Caddy - now accessible at
registry.ops.eblu.me - Retired
tailscale_serveansible role (no longer needed) - Updated minikube containerd config to use new URL
- Updated CI workflows and mise tasks
- Old URL (
registry.tail8d86e.ts.net) deprecated
2026-01-21
- Verified full workflow: podman build on gilbert → push to zot → k8s pull
- Documented security model (network-only auth via Tailscale ACL)
- Updated minikube integration: now uses containerd (docker driver) instead of CRI-O (podman driver)
- Mirror endpoint changed from
host.containers.internal:5050tohost.minikube.internal:5050
2026-01-19
- Integrated with minikube as CRI-O registry mirror
- All k8s image pulls now go through zot cache automatically
2026-01-18
- Initial setup for k8s migration Phase 0
- Configured pull-through cache for Docker Hub, GHCR, Quay
- Exposed via Tailscale service at registry.tail8d86e.ts.net
