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

Connect to Postgres

How to connect to the postgresql cluster as a superuser using psql.

Prerequisites

  • psql installed (brew install libpq on macOS)
  • 1Password CLI (op) installed and signed in
  • Machine on the tailnet (e.g. gilbert)

Connect

PGPASSWORD=$(op read "op://blumeops/postgres/password") psql -h pg.ops.eblu.me -U eblume -d postgres

This connects as the eblume superuser. To connect to a specific database, replace postgres with the database name (e.g. miniflux, teslamate).

Useful Queries

-- List databases
\l

-- List roles
\du

-- Check cluster status (CNPG)
SELECT pg_is_in_recovery();

-- Show active connections
SELECT datname, usename, client_addr, state
FROM pg_stat_activity
WHERE state IS NOT NULL;
