Approximate-location fallback from the client IP (feature-flagged off)
A visitor who declines browser geolocation currently has no location at all —
the copy sends them to the map picker. This adds an opt-in fallback that
suggests a coarse city from the request's own IP, presented as a guess with a
one-tap correction, so the dead end has a way out.

backend/data/geoip.py does the lookup against a local MMDB file (DB-IP IP to
City Lite or GeoLite2 City — same format, either works, attribution derived
from the file's metadata). Off unless THERMOGRAPH_GEOIP is truthy AND the
database exists AND maxminddb imports; every degraded case — private/reserved/
CGNAT/IPv6-ULA addresses, unparseable input, no record, a country-centroid
record with no city, a record wider than the accuracy limit, a corrupt file —
returns None, which the route answers as 204 and the client treats exactly as
today.

The IP is read in memory and dropped. GET /api/v2/geoip runs no RunAudit,
records no metric dimension, and is excluded from the access log (its own
"geoip" traffic category) so no stored, joinable (IP, location) pair is ever
written. The response is no-store/Vary:* and takes no parameters.

Client-side rather than server-rendered on purpose: the homepage's HTML and
weak ETag must stay byte-identical for every visitor, or any cache added in
front of it can serve one visitor's city to another. The suggestion is fetched
only after a declined/unavailable prompt, and only when nothing is remembered.

A guess is never persisted — no localStorage write, no URL hash — and the hero
and results headings say "roughly near"/"near … approximate" rather than
letting the reverse-geocoded cell name a neighbourhood the lookup never knew.

The /privacy page's "never looks up your location from your IP address"
paragraph now follows the same flag out of the same env file, so the published
statement and the behaviour flip together.

Database lifecycle is a host-side systemd timer (infra/deploy/geoip-refresh.*)
that verifies a download opens and answers before swapping it in atomically,
bind-mounted read-only; geoip.py re-opens on mtime change, so a refresh needs
no restart. GEOIP-APPROX-LOCATION.md carries the database comparison, the
SSR-vs-client argument, the privacy analysis, and the open decisions.

thermograph-infra

Infrastructure for Thermograph: Terraform host provisioning, the SOPS+age secrets vault, Docker Swarm/WireGuard networking, Forgejo, Caddy, and the deploy scripts that run the already-built app image on each host. Extracted from the app monorepo (emi/thermograph) — the app repo owns building and testing the app; this repo owns running it.

  • terraform/ — provisions/configures hosts (SSH-driven by default; an optional GCP-creating module is scaffolded, no live resources yet) and triggers each deploy. See terraform/README.md.
  • deploy/secrets/ — the git-native SOPS+age secrets vault (every app secret, encrypted at rest, rendered at deploy time). See deploy/secrets/README.md.
  • deploy/swarm/, deploy/forgejo/ — the 3-node WireGuard/Swarm cluster that hosts Forgejo (git + CI + registry); does not run the app itself. See ACCESS.md and the READMEs under each directory.
  • deploy/deploy.sh — pulls the pinned app image (IMAGE_TAG) and rolls the compose stack; invoked by Terraform and by the app repo's .forgejo/workflows/deploy.yml over SSH.
  • docker-compose*.yml, docker-stack.yml — how the app image runs (compose in production today; docker-stack.yml is a design record for a possible future Swarm-based app deploy, not currently live).

The app's own source, Dockerfile, and build/test CI stay in the app repo — this repo never checks out app source; hosts only pull tagged images from the registry. See ACCESS.md for host access and the Swarm/Forgejo topology, and terraform/README.md for the day-to-day plan/apply workflow.

Branches & how changes reach each environment

  • main — what prod and beta run: their /opt/thermograph checkouts git reset --hard origin/main at the start of every deploy (deploy/deploy.sh). A merge to main reaches those hosts on the next app deploy (or a by-hand deploy.sh run); there is no separate infra deploy trigger.
  • dev — what LAN dev runs: ~/thermograph-dev resets to it via deploy/deploy-dev.sh. Keep it fast-forwarded to main (infra changes are not environment-staged today; the branches exist so LAN dev can trail or lead when needed).
  • release — currently consumed by nothing (prod tracks main, not release). It exists to mirror the app repos' dev→main→release promotion shape if per-environment infra staging is ever wanted; until then, treat main as live-everywhere.

Note the asymmetry with the app repos: app code IS environment-staged (dev→main→release maps to LAN→beta→prod via image tags), infra is not.
