jackos1998 d51f2d62b6 docs: Document the deployment
Add a top-level README mapping the boxes and a full docs/ tree: topic
pages (architecture, networking, deployment), per-site box pages for
colony and home with containers nested under their hosts, remote and
mobile boxes, the installer, and the home switch fabric reference
(folded in from home-switches.md, with AGENTS.md and code comments
retargeted to its new home). Box pages carry marked assignment tables
that CI regenerates from nixos.allAssignments.

AGENTS.md points at the new docs and keeps its terse agent version of
the mechanics, referring to the topic pages for depth.

# git
The Gitea VM — source hosting and CI for the boxes (`git.nul.ie`).
- **Source:** [`nixos/boxes/colony/vms/git/`](../../../nixos/boxes/colony/vms/git)
(`default.nix`, `gitea.nix`, `gitea-actions.nix`)
- **Host:** VM on `colony`
- **nixpkgs:** `mine`
## Role
- **Gitea** ([`gitea.nix`](../../../nixos/boxes/colony/vms/git/gitea.nix)) — the
Git forge at `git.nul.ie` (self-registration disabled). Backed by PostgreSQL
on `colony-psql` (waiting on it via `lib.my.systemdAwaitPostgres`), LFS
enabled, with all object storage (incl. LFS and packages) on MinIO at
`s3.nul.ie` (bucket `gitea`, on `object`; the secret is spliced into
`app.ini` at startup). Mail goes out via `mail.nul.ie`, including the
issue-reply incoming-mail poller.
- **Gitea Actions runner**
([`gitea-actions.nix`](../../../nixos/boxes/colony/vms/git/gitea-actions.nix)) —
one Docker-mode instance (`main-docker`) on podman (privileged, `podman`
network), with labels for `node:24-trixie` and the self-built
`git.nul.ie/dev/actions-ubuntu:26.04` images. Runs as a fixed
`gitea-runner` user (not `DynamicUser`) so it can read its token; 8 h job
timeout; the action cache lives on a dedicated disk
(`/var/cache/gitea-runner`). This runner executes the repo's own
`.gitea/workflows/ci.yaml`.
- **nginx** — terminates TLS for `git.nul.ie` (and a default vhost) and
proxies to Gitea on `:3000`. ACME (Let's Encrypt, production) issues
`nul.ie` + `*.nul.ie` via the Cloudflare DNS-01 challenge.
- **podman** — local container backend for the runner;
`/var/lib/containers` is an XFS data disk, and the default
`10.88.0.0/16` podman subnet is allowed to forward.
## Network assignments
<!-- assignments: git -->
<!-- assignments-start -->
| Name | Assignment | IPv4 | IPv6 | Domain | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| git-vm | internal | `94.142.241.117/32` | `2a0e:97c0:4d2:11::4/64` | ams1.int.nul.ie | |
| git-vm-routing | routing | `10.100.1.4/24 gw 10.100.1.1` | — | ams1.int.nul.ie | |
<!-- assignments-end -->
## Storage
- `/var/lib/gitea` — the `git` LV (repositories, config).
- `/var/cache/gitea-runner` — the `gitea-actions-cache` LV.
- `/var/lib/containers` — the `oci` LV (XFS with project quotas). Despite the
name this is local to the `git` VM and unrelated to `whale2`'s `oci`
network.
## Notable config files
- [`nixos/boxes/colony/vms/git/default.nix`](../../../nixos/boxes/colony/vms/git/default.nix) — VM config, nginx + ACME, podman, firewall.
- [`nixos/boxes/colony/vms/git/gitea.nix`](../../../nixos/boxes/colony/vms/git/gitea.nix) — Gitea itself.
- [`nixos/boxes/colony/vms/git/gitea-actions.nix`](../../../nixos/boxes/colony/vms/git/gitea-actions.nix) — the Actions runner.
