Erich Blume 27d8f3cf1f Review gandi-operations doc and reorganize how-to guides (#200)
## Summary
- **Doc review:** Reviewed `gandi-operations.md` — added `last-reviewed` frontmatter, verified all wiki-links, confirmed Pulumi state has no drift
- **Gandi reference fix:** Added missing `cv.eblu.me` CNAME row to `gandi.md` DNS records table (was present in Pulumi but undocumented)
- **Pulumi comment fix:** Updated stale `README.md` reference in `__main__.py` to point to `docs/how-to/gandi-operations.md`
- **How-to reorg:** Moved 14 how-to guides into 3 subdirectories (`deployment/`, `configuration/`, `operations/`), collapsed the Documentation and Database index sections into Configuration and Operations respectively

## Verification
- `docs-check-links` — all 180 wiki-links valid
- `docs-check-filenames` — all 90 filenames unique
- `dns-preview` — 5 resources unchanged, no drift
- All pre-commit hooks pass

## Test plan
- [ ] Verify docs site builds correctly with new paths
- [ ] Spot-check a few wiki-links from other pages to moved how-to guides

Create a Release Artifact Workflow

How to set up a Forgejo Actions workflow that builds an artifact and publishes it to Forgejo generic packages. Uses the CV repo (forge.ops.eblu.me/eblume/cv) workflow as the reference implementation.

Prerequisites

  • A Forgejo repo with a build pipeline (Dagger, script, etc.)
  • The FORGE_TOKEN secret provisioned via the forgejo_actions_secrets Ansible role

1. Add the repo to Ansible secrets

In ansible/roles/forgejo_actions_secrets/defaults/main.yml, add an entry under forgejo_actions_secrets_repos:

forgejo_actions_secrets_repos:
  - repo: my-repo
    secrets:
      - name: FORGE_TOKEN
        value_var: forgejo_api_token

Then provision: mise run provision-indri -- --tags forgejo_actions_secrets

This is required because Forgejo's built-in GITHUB_TOKEN does not have permissions for the packages API.

2. Create the workflow

Create .forgejo/workflows/<name>-release.yaml with workflow_dispatch and a version input. Use the semver bump pattern (see cv-release.yaml for the full upload flow, or build-blumeops.yaml for the version bump logic only — it uploads to Forgejo releases, not generic packages).

The upload step uses FORGE_TOKEN:

- name: Upload to Forgejo packages
  env:
    FORGE_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.FORGE_TOKEN }}
  run: |
    curl -fsSL \
      -X PUT \
      -H "Authorization: token $FORGE_TOKEN" \
      --upload-file "./$TARBALL" \
      "https://forge.ops.eblu.me/api/packages/eblume/generic/<package>/${VERSION}/${TARBALL}"

After the first successful upload, the package appears under your user-level packages at https://forge.ops.eblu.me/eblume/-/packages but is not yet linked to the repo.

To link it:

  1. Go to https://forge.ops.eblu.me/eblume/-/packages
  2. Click the package name
  3. Click Settings
  4. Under Link this package to a repository, select the repo
  5. Click Save

Once linked, the package shows up in the repo's Packages tab and the repo links back to the package.

4. Create a deploy workflow (optional)

If the artifact is consumed by a k8s deployment, create a separate deploy workflow in blumeops (see cv-deploy.yaml). This keeps the build/release concern in the source repo and the deploy concern in blumeops.
