Phase 1 of moving the secret store to OpenBao. Nothing is cut over: TG_SECRETS_BACKEND defaults to sops for all three environments, so SOPS remains authoritative until an environment is flipped in a reviewed PR. The reason for the migration is one specific failure class. infra/CLAUDE.md requires that vps1 never hold prod credentials, but that rule is currently enforced by a caller-side shell flag (THERMOGRAPH_SECRETS_SKIP_COMMON) at three call sites. A fourth call site, or one by-hand render, writes both S3 keypairs, the VAPID private key, REGISTRY_TOKEN and the IndexNow/metrics tokens onto the Forgejo CI-runner box and exits 0. policies/tg-host-dev.hcl makes that a 403 instead: dev's identity cannot read the common path at all. Shape: - vps2 only, native systemd (not a container: a Swarm service is circular, and a plain docker run is one `prune -a` from gone), raft storage (2.6.0 deprecated the file backend), static auto-unseal so a reboot cannot block deploys, mesh-only self-signed TLS (not ACME — that would put DNS in the boot chain of the secret store). - AppRole per environment, CIDR-bound, 5-minute tokens. Each environment's secret-id is owned by its own deploy user, which is a boundary that does not exist today since prod and beta both reach the same root-owned age key. - Render still produces the same raw unquoted dotenv: Centralis compares /etc/thermograph.env textually and the Swarm entrypoint parses it by line. The backend dispatch in render-secrets.sh returns early rather than refactoring the shared write path, so the SOPS path stays byte-identical. Verified by rendering dev (12 keys) and prod (32 keys) through it, matching the live hosts. The duplicated write path is noted for consolidation once prod has been on OpenBao for a release cycle. The OpenBao renderer rejects values containing a newline or a shell metacharacter. /etc/thermograph.env is sourced by bash in six places, so such a value is a command-execution path on the deploy host; the SOPS path has always had this hazard and avoids it only because every current value happens to be alphanumeric. Also records that the age keypair is NOT retired by this migration: it is the backup encryption key for every off-box dump (ops-cron.yml:142,197, 30-day retention), so deleting it with the vault files would silently destroy a month of database recoverability. verify-parity.sh is the cutover gate — it renders both backends and diffs them, reporting key names and counts only, never values. |

thermograph
The Thermograph monorepo — the split repos reunified (2026-07-22) with full history via subtree merges, while keeping everything the split was actually for: per-domain images, per-domain deploys, and an async FE/BE contract.
Domains
| Dir | What | CI |
|---|---|---|
backend/ |
FastAPI graded-climate API, accounts, notifications (Discord bot, push, mail), data pipeline | build-push → image emi/thermograph/backend; deploy |
frontend/ |
Public client: static JS/CSS + SSR pages | same build-push / deploy workflows, matrixed by domain; image emi/thermograph/frontend |
infra/ |
Compose (dev, on vps1) + two Swarm stacks co-resident on vps2 (beta, prod), deploy scripts, terraform, SOPS secrets vault, ops cron | infra-sync (host checkout + secrets render), secrets-guard, ops-cron |
observability/ |
Loki + Grafana + Alloy stack | observability-validate |
thermograph-docs deliberately stays its own repo (ADRs + runbooks, no
build artifacts, different change cadence).
New here?
docs/onboarding/ is the developer onboarding
path: orientation, verified local-setup recipes, a per-domain deep dive, the
cross-service contracts that break silently, the release flow, and a list of
which docs in this repo are currently stale.
How CI stays decoupled
Every workflow in .forgejo/workflows/ is path-filtered to its domain: a
push touching only frontend/** builds/deploys nothing else. Images stay
separate (emi/thermograph/backend, emi/thermograph/frontend, each tagged
sha-<12hex>), deploys stay per-service (infra/deploy/deploy.sh SERVICE=backend|frontend|all), and the API version contract
(GET /api/version, PAYLOAD_VER) still lets FE and BE ship out of lockstep.
The one intentionally coupled piece is pr-build.yml: a single always-running
gate required check that builds only the domains a PR touches (a
path-filtered required check would deadlock auto-merge).
Branch model (unchanged from the split era): PRs → dev, main → beta,
release → prod. Infra isn't environment-staged the same way app images are:
beta's and prod's checkouts (both on vps2) track main; dev's checkout (on
vps1) tracks dev itself, since it's the one environment that isn't a
rehearsal for something downstream.
