# RUNBOOK — software factory operations
Cookbook for operating the Phyllome OS factory on `git.phyllo.me`.
## Prereqs & inventory
- See [server-phyllome-cloudron.md](server-phyllome-cloudron.md) for the box
reference and [architecture.md](architecture.md) for the layout.
- MCP servers (from the `automation` repo) used by an operator:
`gitea-phyllome` (read), `gitea-phyllome-write` (write), `cloudron-phyllome`
(read), `cloudron-phyllome-write` (write).
## 1. Register a runner (one-time)
The runner connects **out** to `git.phyllo.me`, so it never needs an inbound
rule. Registration needs a token from the Gitea UI:
1. **Get a registration token** (admin/owner action — cannot be done with the
API token):
Log in to `git.phyllo.me`**Settings → Actions → Runners**
*New runner* → copy the token. Leave the window open; the token is
one-time-use.
2. **Deploy the runner VM** on the phyllome Cloudron host. Two supported
routes:
- *Ansible* (existing playbook): `devops/ansible-gitea-runner` — set
`registration_token` in `roles/runner_setup.yml`, point
`inventory.ini` at the VM, then `ansible-playbook main.yml`.
- *Manual*: install `act_runner` v0.2.13 on a Fedora VM, then:
```console
$ sudo -u act_runner act_runner register --no-interactive \
--instance https://git.phyllo.me --token <TOKEN> \
--name fedora-0 --labels fedora
```
Then run `act_runner daemon` under systemd (see
`devops/ansible-gitea-runner/roles/runner_setup.yml` for the unit).
3. **Verify**: Gitea UI → **Settings → Actions → Runners** shows the runner
**online**, label `fedora`.
> The old runner labels `fedora-cloud-42` were renamed to `fedora`
> (2026-09-15) — all workflows must use `runs-on: fedora`.
## 2. Add factory CI to a repo (pattern)
1. Push a workflow to `.gitea/workflows/<name>.yml`:
```yaml
name: ci
on:
push:
pull_request:
jobs:
checks:
runs-on: fedora
defaults:
run:
shell: bash
container:
image: git.phyllo.me/devops/fedora-runner-image:latest
steps:
- uses: https://git.phyllo.me/devops/checkout@v5
with:
fetch-depth: 0
- run: make test
```
2. Use **host** jobs (no `container:` block) only when the job needs `mock`,
`livemedia-creator`, or the host build cache — see the `create-iso`
workflow for the canonical example.
## 3. Put a product pipeline under CI
| Repo | Workflow | Trigger |
|---|---|---|
| `roots/phyllomeos` | `ci.yml` (lint/test/validate) | push + PR |
| `roots/xml-definition-for-domains` | `ci.yml` (xmllint) | push + PR |
| `roots/rpm-sources` | `smoke.yml` (mock build) | push + PR (host job) |
| `devops/create-iso` | existing `build-iso.yaml` | tag `v*.*.*` |
## 4. Build & release an ISO (create-iso)
Triggered by tagging `v*.*.*` in `devops/create-iso`. The `build-iso.yaml`
workflow: `mock --init` → install `lorax-lmc-novirt` + `pykickstart` +
`livecd-tools` → `livemedia-creator --make-iso` → release the ISO via
`devops/action-gh-release@v2`. Requires a **host** runner (mock needs real
chroots).
## 5. Troubleshooting
- **Runner never comes online**: re-check the registration token (one-time use)
and that `act_runner daemon` is running (`systemctl status act_runner`).
- **Job stuck in `queued`/`waiting for runner`**: label mismatch — the job's
`runs-on` must exactly match a label the runner registers (`fedora`).
- **Container job can't pull the image**: runner needs network to
`git.phyllo.me` package registry; check `docker pull
git.phyllo.me/devops/fedora-runner-image:latest` on the VM; verify the token
used for registry login has package write/read scope.
- **Push to `git.lukasgreve.ch` (perso) times out**: home Cloudron
reachability is flaky from this workstation; retry — it is *not* a factory
failure path (the factory only talks to `git.phyllo.me`).
## 6. Admin actions that stay in the Cloudron UI
Restore/clear backups, reboot, domain/user management, runner registration
tokens — the MCP write surface deliberately excludes these (see the
`automation` README).

# Software factory architecture
GitHub-style CI for Phyllome OS, self-hosted on the project's own forge and
iron.
## Goal
Runs CI/CD for Phyllome OS repos on `git.phyllo.me` (Gitea + Gitea Actions)
with a self-hosted runner, without depending on any third-party CI service.
## Components
```mermaid
flowchart LR
subgraph forge["git.phyllo.me (Cloudron app, Gitea 1.40.2)"]
act[Gitea Actions]
pkg[(Package Registry)]
rel[Releases]
end
subgraph runbox["runner VM (on the phyllome Cloudron host)"]

end

repo --> act

r1 --> host
r1 --> img
act --> pkg
act --> rel
dev --> act
```
## How a run works
1. A push/PR/tag to a Product repo triggers Gitea Actions.
2. `runs-on: fedora` matches the self-hosted runner labeled `fedora`.
3. Two execution modes, chosen per job:
- **container** — steps run inside `devops/fedora-runner-image` (clean,
hermetically sealed; good for pure build/lint/test jobs).
- **host** — steps run directly on the runner VM (needed for jobs that rely
on `mock`/QEMU nesting, kernel-level features, or the local build cache).
4. Steps use the mirrored actions (`devops/checkout@v5`,
`devops/action-gh-release@v2`) so nothing reaches out to github.com at
runtime.
## Products and their pipelines
| Repo | Pipeline | Job type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `roots/phyllomeos` | `make lint``make test``make validate` | container | pykickstart data pipeline; generated recipes/dishes are untracked build products |
| `roots/xml-definition-for-domains` | xmllint check | container | libvirt XML definitions |
| `roots/rpm-sources` | mock smoke build | host | needs mock chroots (host-only cache) |
| `devops/create-iso` | mock + livemedia-creator ISO build → release | host | already has a workflow (label `fedora`) |
| `devops/test-actions` | checkout smoke tests | both | CI playground, already label `fedora` |
## Image inventory (Package Registry)
| Image | Used by |
|---|---|
| `devops/fedora-runner-image:latest` | default job container on the runner |
| `devops/fedora-oci` | base Fedora image |
| `devops/qemu-libvirt-oci-image` | QEMU/libvirt tooling (VM-in-CI experiments) |
| `roots/fedora-iso-creation:42` | devcontainer referenced by test workflows |
## Security posture
- **Self-contained actions**: all `uses:` point at `git.phyllo.me/...` mirrors —
no third-party action code, no github.com calls.
- **Runner host**: dedicated VM on the phyllome Cloudron host; `act_runner`
runs as unprivileged `act_runner` system user; Docker access for container
jobs only.
- **Secrets**: CI secrets live in Gitea (repo/org) — never in the runner config.
Registration token is UI-generated and consumed once.
- **Read-only infra automation**: the `automation` repo's MCP servers scope
Cloudron/Gitea reads and writes by credential pair (read token / write token),
and opencode gates writes behind a dedicated `ops` agent.

# Phyllome Cloudron server (`my.phyllo.me`)
The Phyllome OS project's Cloudron platform. This is the *project* infrastructure
server — distinct from the home-LAN Cloudron (`my.lesloutres.ch`, see the
`inventory-of-devices` repo, which is personal-resource scoped and intentionally
does **not** document this box).
## At a glance
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Platform | Cloudron **10.0.5** |
| Admin URL | `https://my.phyllo.me` |
| Host OS | Ubuntu (managed by Cloudron installer) |
| Location | Not on the home LAN — out-of-LAN host; public DNS via IPv6 (`2001:41d0:1008:44d::1`) + the box behind the project's hosting |
| DNS provider | Gandi (PAT, `phyllo.me` + `phyllome.org`) |
| TLS | Let's Encrypt, wildcard (production `letsencrypt-prod`) |
| Domains | `phyllo.me`, `phyllome.org` |
| Backup | Cloudron box + app backups nightly; cleanup job keeps a rolling window (see event log `backup.cleanup.finish`) |
Remote-management interfaces:
- **Cloudron API / UI** — `cloudron-phyllome` (read) and `cloudron-phyllome-write`
(write) MCP servers from the `automation` repo.
- **Gitea forge** — `git.phyllo.me`, Gitea **1.40.2** app (id `io.gitea.cloudronapp`).
Read via `gitea-phyllome`, write via `gitea-phyllome-write`. Git-over-SSH on
port **29418** (e.g. `ssh://git@git.phyllo.me:29418/owner/repo.git`).
## Apps
Cloudron app inventory on this box (subset relevant to the factory):
| FQDN | App | State | Role in the factory |
|---|---|---|---|
| `git.phyllo.me` | Gitea | running | Code host + Gitea Actions bus |
| `minio.phyllo.me` (+ `minio-api.phyllo.me`) | MinIO | running | S3 object storage (factory artifact staging candidate) |
| `kanboard.phyllo.me` / `kanboard.phyllome.org` | Wekan | running / stopped (preprod dup) | Project kanban |
| `wiki.phyllo.me` / `wiki.phyllome.org` | Wiki.js | running / stopped | Docs (live = wiki.phyllome.org) |
| `llamas.phyllo.me` | Open WebUI | stopped | AI chat (on demand) |
| `ks.phyllome.org` | Kutt | stopped | URL shortener (preprod) |
| `phyllo.me`, `www.phyllo.me` | Grav | running | Project website |
Full inventory is one `cloudron-phyllome_list_apps` call away; this file only
documents what the factory depends on.
## Factory-relevant services
- **Package registry** (Gitea Packages) holds the container images:
- `devops/fedora-runner-image` (with `latest`) — runner job container
- `devops/fedora-oci`, `devops/qemu-libvirt-oci-image` — builder images
- `roots/fedora-iso-creation:42` — devcontainer referenced by test-actions
- **Gitea Actions** is enabled on the product repos.
- **Runners**: none registered yet → see `RUNBOOK.md`. Expected label: `fedora`.
## Access model
- `git.phyllo.me` user `lukas` (id 4, **not** Gitea admin) — used by the read and
write API tokens.
- Runner registration requires a **runner registration token** from the Gitea UI
(Settings → Actions → Runners) — admin/owner action, see RUNBOOK.
- Cloudron ownership is via an OIDC/owner account `superuser@phyllo.me`; API
tokens (`tower-read`, `tower`, …) are created/deleted via the Cloudron UI
(visible in the event log).
