# Forgejo on the Swarm cluster
Runs as `deploy/forgejo/docker-stack.yml` — the only Swarm-scheduled workload
this cluster carries (the Thermograph app itself stays on the
Terraform-managed `docker compose` deploys; see `terraform/README.md`).
Pinned to the **beta** node (old VPS) via the `role=forge` label from
`deploy/swarm/label-forge-node.sh`.
The Actions **runner** is deliberately *not* part of this stack — it runs on
the **desktop** as a plain systemd service (`register-lan-runner.sh` below),
per `thermograph-docs/runbooks/implementation-handoff.md` Track B step 5. That's the
canonical placement; an earlier revision of this stack ran the runner as a
Swarm-scheduled Docker-in-Docker sidecar pinned to beta, which is gone now.
## Prerequisites
1. All three nodes have joined the swarm (`deploy/swarm/`) and beta is
labeled `role=forge`.
2. `docker node ls` (from the manager) shows all three `Ready`.
## One-time setup: Swarm secret
One secret the stack expects to already exist (a Swarm secret, not a file —
`external: true` in the stack file, so `docker stack deploy` never creates or
sees the value, only references it):
```bash
# A strong random password for Forgejo's own Postgres (NOT related to
# Thermograph's app database — entirely separate instance/network).
openssl rand -base64 32 | docker secret create forgejo_db_password -
```
## Deploy / update
```bash
docker stack deploy -c deploy/forgejo/docker-stack.yml forgejo
```
Re-running is safe — Swarm only touches services whose spec actually changed.
Do this **before** the DNS + Caddy step below — Caddy's reverse_proxy target
(`127.0.0.1:3080`) needs the `forgejo` service actually listening first, or
its first health check just fails harmlessly until it is.
## DNS + TLS: reusing beta's existing Caddy, not a second reverse proxy
Forgejo is pinned to beta (`role=forge`) — but beta is also **today's live
thermograph.org host**, and its Caddy already owns ports 80/443
(`/etc/caddy/Caddyfile` on that box). A second ingress (Traefik) trying to
bind the same ports would collide with it. So there's no Traefik in this
stack: `forgejo`'s web port publishes to `127.0.0.1:3080` only (host-local),
and beta's *existing* Caddy gets one more site block reverse-proxying to it —
same pattern as its `thermograph.org` block, same automatic-HTTPS.
1. Point the Forgejo domain (default `git.thermograph.org`; override with
`FORGEJO_DOMAIN=...` before `docker stack deploy`) at **beta's** public IP
— that's where the task actually runs, not prod's or the desktop's.
2. Append `deploy/forgejo/caddy-git.conf` to beta's `/etc/caddy/Caddyfile`,
adjusting the domain if you didn't use the default, then `systemctl reload
caddy`.
3. That file also resolves the registry-exposure hazard (#15 in
`thermograph-docs/runbooks/hop1-forgejo-registry-cutover.md`): `/v2/*` (the registry
API) is blocked to everything except the WireGuard mesh CIDR
(`10.10.0.0/24`); the git/web UI stays public. CI runners and Swarm nodes
reach the registry over the mesh, not the public internet — see "Registry
access from mesh clients" below.
## Registry access from mesh clients
Any node that needs `docker login`/push/pull against the registry (the
desktop's CI runner building/pushing images, later any Swarm node pulling
them) must reach `git.thermograph.org` **over the WireGuard tunnel**, not
beta's public IP — otherwise Caddy's `/v2/*` block above refuses the
connection. Public DNS resolves the domain to beta's public IP, so add a
`/etc/hosts` override on each such node pinning it to beta's WireGuard
address instead:
```
echo "10.10.0.2 git.thermograph.org" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts
```
(`10.10.0.2` is beta's WG address per `deploy/swarm/README.md`'s peer
numbering — adjust if you assigned it differently.) The git/web UI keeps
working normally for everyone else since only `/v2/*` is restricted.
## Register the Actions runner (on the desktop, not through Swarm)
Once Forgejo answers at its domain:
```bash
# On the desktop:
# Forgejo web UI -> Site Administration -> Actions -> Runners -> Create new Runner
# (or, for a repo-scoped runner: <repo> -> Settings -> Actions -> Runners)
# copy the registration token, then:
bash deploy/forgejo/register-lan-runner.sh https://<forgejo-domain> <token>
```
See that script's header for exactly what it replaces (the pre-Forgejo GitHub
self-hosted runner on this same machine) and why it registers with two
labels where there used to be two separate runners.
## Why Postgres here and not the Thermograph app's TimescaleDB
Separate instance, separate network (`forgejo_net`, not the app's compose
network), separate volume. Forgejo is a distinct product with its own schema
and its own backup/restore lifecycle — sharing a database with the app would
couple two things that should be able to fail, migrate, and restore
independently.
## Verifying
```bash
docker service ls # forgejo_db, forgejo_forgejo both Running, 1/1
curl -I https://git.thermograph.org/ # 200, valid cert (Caddy's, not a new one)
curl -I https://git.thermograph.org/v2/ # 403 from anywhere off the WireGuard mesh
# On the desktop, after registering the runner:
systemctl --user status forgejo-runner # active, both labels registered
```
## Rollback / removal
```bash
docker stack rm forgejo
# volumes (forgejo_data, forgejo_db, ...) survive a stack rm — remove them
# explicitly only if you actually want to destroy the Forgejo instance's data.
```
