# DECISIONS — cc-ci Builder
|
||
|
||
Architecture decisions and dead-ends. One line of rationale each. (§0, §8)
|
||
|
||
## Settled
|
||
|
||
- **Wildcard TLS:** operator pre-issues wildcard cert at `/var/lib/ci-certs/live/`; Traefik file
|
||
provider serves it; **no ACME** for commoninternet.net. (Plan §4.0/§8 — fixed.)
|
||
- **Repo:** `git.autonomic.zone/recipe-maintainers/cc-ci`, private. Bot is org admin. (Bootstrap.)
|
||
- **Git credentials:** helper script in repo-local git config sources `/srv/cc-ci/.testenv` at call
|
||
time — no secret values stored in `.git/config` or commits.
|
||
|
||
## Open (defaults from §8, to confirm as reality lands)
|
||
|
||
- **Deploy mechanism — SETTLED (M0):** `nixos-rebuild switch --flake /root/cc-ci#cc-ci` run *on
|
||
cc-ci itself*, with the repo materialised on the host at `/root/cc-ci`. Chosen over
|
||
`--target-host`/deploy-rs to avoid pushing large closures over the userspace-tailscaled SOCKS
|
||
proxy (slow/fragile). Atomic rollback preserved by Nix generations (`nixos-rebuild --rollback`).
|
||
The switch is launched as a **detached transient systemd unit** (`systemd-run --unit=ccci-rebuild
|
||
--collect`) so it survives a momentary ssh-over-tailscale drop during activation. For the build
|
||
loop the host copy is synced from the sandbox clone via `tar | ssh` (rsync absent on host);
|
||
source of truth stays the git repo. D8/install.md will document the from-scratch path (clone repo
|
||
on a fresh host, then `nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#cc-ci`).
|
||
- **nixpkgs pin:** flake pins the exact rev cc-ci already ran (`50ab793…`) so the first rebuild
|
||
is a true no-op-then-base. Bump deliberately, never drift.
|
||
- **Webhook scope:** default per-repo via enroll script.
|
||
- **Drone runner type:** default exec (must drive host abra).
|
||
- **Secret tool:** default sops-nix.
|
||
- **D10 recipe set:** lock six early. Candidates favouring already-mirrored: custom-html (simple),
|
||
cryptpad (stateful no-DB), keycloak (SSO/DB), matrix-synapse (DB+media), lasuite-docs (multi+S3),
|
||
bluesky-pds (TLS-passthrough) — covers all five categories. Confirm during M4–M6.5.
|
||
|
||
## Risks
|
||
|
||
- **Disk — RESOLVED 2026-05-26.** Original 8.9 GiB root had only ~3.8 GiB free *and* a hard
|
||
**inode** ceiling (586k total, ~6k free) — the flake's nixpkgs fetch (~50k files) hit ENOSPC on
|
||
inodes before bytes. Operator grew the VM to **28 GiB** (22 GiB free, 1.78M inodes / 1.21M free);
|
||
the ext4 fs auto-resized (new block groups carry proportional inodes). Keep aggressive teardown +
|
||
periodic `docker image prune` to avoid regressing during M6.5 breadth.
|
||
|
||
## Dead-ends
