In check mode nothing is written, so for a service that is not on the
host yet the restart task finds no project directory and fails the
whole dry run. Ignore errors there in check mode, as the compose task
already does.

The Fabric server holds 8.8 GB of asxpio-services' 15 GB of RAM, more
than everything else on the host together, and the XMPP server moves
here next. Save the world, remove its containers and the daily restart
timer.
The world stays in /opt/minecraft-fossils/data, and in the restic
backups, until it is deleted by hand.

Hetzner's server backups cost 20% of each server's price and only
restore whole disks. Back up what matters with restic instead, into the
backup buckets we already pay for: one repository per host in hel1
(asxpio-backups-main) and one in fsn1 (asxpio-backups-repl), written
independently so either region alone is a full copy.
Postgres goes in as a dump, Forgejo's and vhpbot's SQLite databases
through the online backup API, Garage with a fresh metadata snapshot,
ejabberd through its own backup command. Keeps 7 daily, 4 weekly and
6 monthly snapshots, prunes on Sundays, and mails the journal when a
run fails.
restic is the pinned upstream release, so its version is tracked in
the repo like everything else. The vault gains the restic password
and the Xray config for the role that follows.

The prune job now lives in /etc/cron.d on both hosts and root's crontab
entry is gone, so the tasks that removed it have nothing left to do.

grep -v exits 1 when it prints nothing, and with pipefail that failed
the task on both hosts, although the crontab had been rewritten
correctly. Ignore grep's exit status.

The roles had drifted far from production: Forgejo was pinned at 12
while 15.0.11 runs, its config lacked the mailer, packages and the real
database path, and several services existed only on the hosts. Running
a role would have rolled production back. Take the servers as the truth
and make the repository match them.
site.yaml now holds the desired state of both hosts:
- base: unattended upgrades, fail2ban, Docker daemon config and the
weekly image prune, as found on the hosts. New: a 500M journal cap,
and the Docker systemd override is kept absent. That override once
opened dockerd on tcp/2375 without authentication.
- traefik: templates as deployed, version in a variable (v3.7.18).
The Coraza WAF files are removed; no router ever used them.
- forgejo: 15.0.11, app.ini generated from the live file with the
secrets taken from the vault.
- crawler_alert, sillytavern, minecraft, minecraft_fossils: added
from the hosts.
Forgejo's canonical name becomes git.asxp.io; git.czsk.it stays as an
alias on the same router.
docker_service restarts a stack when its config changes, no longer
forces ownership on existing data directories, and hides template
diffs because they carry secrets. Containers listed in
service_graceful_stop are saved and stopped with a long timeout before
compose recreates them: Docker's 10 s default is too short for a
Minecraft world. Both game servers get stop_grace_period for the same
reason.
Removed: the full-deployment and runner playbooks with their prompts,
the Forgejo backup and restore roles for the old bare-metal host, and
inventory entries for services that were never deployed. SSH hardening
stays a manual playbook, since a mistake there locks everyone out.
New secrets (SMTP, RCON, CurseForge key) went into the vault.

The role had drifted from what runs on asxpio-services: capacity 4,
a bridge network per workflow so service containers start, the Docker
socket automounted into jobs, and a nix-latest label backed by a
persistent nix-store volume.
That volume caused a CI outage on 2026-10-18. nixos/nix:latest moved on,
and since the image's /bin/sh and /etc/nix/nix.conf link into /nix/store,
the old volume left them dangling. Pin the image through
forgejo_runner_nix_version and name the volume after it, so a bump is
deliberate and always gets a store seeded from its own image.

The ops server has 3.7 GB RAM and no swap. Forgejo, MinIO and the apps
fit with room to spare, but a spike (a big push, git gc, parallel
image pulls) would OOM-kill a service instead of paging out.
swappiness 10, so it only swaps under real pressure.

On the 38 GB ops disk the s3fs cache reserve (ensure_diskfree) never
fit, so all three mounts failed at every boot since 2026-09-22. Backups
now go to Hetzner S3 with rclone instead.
Add s3fs_enabled (default true); when false the role unmounts the
buckets and drops their fstab entries, keeping the credentials file
that the rclone wrapper reads.
