Live read-only probes on Dankclaw (BatchMode ssh, 2026-10-19):
- system/dankclaw.md: full 32-container census added (authentik IdP,
prometheus/grafana/loki/alloy/alertmanager monitoring, pihole, ntfy,
seerr, hermes stack, anubis, frank-tts :7772 all undocumented);
dragoon pool corrected 401,408 @ ctx 200,704 (was conflated);
zealot corrected to PrismML build 10777, Ternary-Bonsai-2-9B
PQ2_0-MTP, 2x262,144 over one 524,288 pool, f16 K+V (doc claimed
build 10754, 27B, 2x200,704)
- caddy/index.md: v2.11.7 (in-container ), deduped
caddyfile listing
- gitea: version 1.27.3 probed via API; systemd-gitea network + rootless
100999 mapping confirmed live (gitea-server attaches systemd-gitea;
dank subuid 100000:65536); index See-Also de-duplicated
- searxng-tuning.md: live instance section (ghcr image, valkey:9-alpine,
marreta netns-sharing explains duplicate port maps); POLICY DRIFT FLAG:
tuned engine policy (google/bing disabled, verified 2026-08-16) is NOT
live — /config now shows all 262 engines enabled; upstream settings.yml
count corrected 388@master; limiter table already matched source
- vpn-routing.md: verify snippet fixed — gluetun image ships no curl;
health server is 127.0.0.1:9999/health ('OK'), :8000 is the CONTROL
server (404s on health paths); correct probes provided

Gitea on dankclaw
Private Git hosting on dankclaw. Two quadlet-managed containers in the rootless podman session of user dank: Gitea and PostgreSQL, sharing a dedicated network unit. The former gitea-caddy container is retired — the canonical fleet Caddy (caddy.service, see /caddy/index.md) fronts gitea.franksdank.cloud; do not recreate the retired unit.
Host: dankclaw (192.168.0.143 LAN)
Config: ~/.config/containers/systemd/gitea-{postgres,server}.container + gitea.network
Local access: http://dankclaw:3000 — Gitea 1.27.3 (/api/v1/version, probed 2026-10-19)
Domain: https://gitea.franksdank.cloud (live; served by fleet Caddy, DNS-01 TLS)
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 |
| (network) | gitea-network.service |
— | quadlet gitea.network bring-up |
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 |
| Stop all | systemctl --user stop 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 |
Data Persistence
All data lives on host bind mounts under /home/dank/Containers/gitea/ (fleet storage standard since 2026-09-01; verified live 2026-10-18). Containers are ephemeral. Stopping a quadlet unit removes its container; the next start recreates it. Volumes survive. The old /opt/gitea/ tree remains on disk as a leftover — do not use it.
| Path | Contents |
|---|---|
/home/dank/Containers/gitea/data/ |
Git repositories, app.ini, attachments |
/home/dank/Containers/gitea/postgres/ |
PostgreSQL data files |
/home/dank/Containers/gitea/env |
EnvironmentFile (mode 0600; GITEA_DB_PASSWORD) |
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 and .env templates are tracked in the serverAppConfigs deploy repo; the sibling vault page Infrastructure/Gitea.md (in ~/Projects/serverAppConfig/serverAppConfigs-docs/) is the deploy-side source of truth. Secrets live only on the host under Containers/gitea/ (mode 0600), never in either docs tree.
