Frank 02883d3ed2 docs: rebuild KB in OKF v0.1 with live-verified facts
Copy of the legacy ~/.pi/agent/docs tree rebuilt as the command-center
knowledge base: concept files promoted to path identity, index listings
stripped of frontmatter, all wikilinks/relative links resolved, every
checkable claim verified against the live fleet (Dankserver = Ryzen 7
7700X + RTX 3090; Strix Halo is Dankclaw), unverifiable claims tagged.

Gitea on dankclaw

Private Git hosting on dankclaw. Three quadlet-managed containers in the rootless podman session of user dank: Gitea, PostgreSQL, Caddy.

Host: dankclaw (71.227.227.172) Config: ~/.config/containers/systemd/gitea-{postgres,server,caddy}.container + gitea.network Local access: http://dankclaw:3000 Domain: https://gitea.franksdank.cloud (DNS pending)

Architecture

Container Unit Port Purpose
gitea-server gitea-server.service 3000 (HTTP), 2222 (SSH) Git web UI, API, SSH daemon
gitea-postgres gitea-postgres.service 5432 (internal) Database
gitea-caddy gitea-caddy.service 80, 443 Reverse proxy, auto-TLS

The containers share the private network systemd-gitea (quadlet gitea.network, DNS enabled). The automatic podman default network has DNS disabled; do not run the stack on it.

Management

All commands run as dank on dankclaw.

Action Command
Start all systemctl --user start gitea-postgres gitea-server gitea-caddy
Stop all systemctl --user stop gitea-caddy gitea-server gitea-postgres
Restart Gitea only systemctl --user restart gitea-server
Follow logs podman logs -f gitea-server or journalctl --user -u gitea-server -f
Check status systemctl --user status gitea-postgres gitea-server gitea-caddy

Data Persistence

All data lives on host bind mounts under /opt/gitea/data/. Containers are ephemeral. Stopping a quadlet unit removes its container; the next start recreates it. Volumes survive.

Volume Path Container Mount Contents
/opt/gitea/data/gitea-gitea/ /data Git repositories, app.ini, attachments
/opt/gitea/data/gitea-postgres/ /var/lib/postgresql/data PostgreSQL data files
/opt/gitea/data/caddy/data/ /root/.local/share/caddy Caddy configuration, TLS certs

See data-persistence for backup and restore.

Boot Persistence

User-level linger is enabled for dank. The units start at host boot without a login. Each unit carries [Install] WantedBy=default.target; the podman generator applies it. The legacy podman-compose stack had no units and did not survive reboots (incident 2026-08-16).

See management for boot persistence details and troubleshooting.

Repo Copies

The quadlet files, Caddyfile, and .env.example are tracked in the serverAppConfigs repo under dankclaw/gitea/. The live password lives only in /opt/gitea/.env on the host (mode 0600).
