The VLESS Reality proxy ran from a hand-installed binary on the
temporary server. Run the upstream image instead, pinned and on the
host network, with only CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE; its config (keys and
client id) is in the vault.

ejabberd, apushd and the tackygram gateway ran on the temporary
claude-test-xmpp server, a separate CX23 billed on its own. Move them
to asxpio-services, which has the room now that Fossils is gone, and
manage them like the other stacks.
Compose follows anotherim-server's compose.yaml and
compose.tackygram.yaml with CERTS=files; image versions are variables
so they can be tracked. The TURN and call addresses come from the
host's public IP instead of a hand-edited env file. Secrets, keys and
the certificate stay on the host under /opt/xmpp/state as data and are
covered by the restic backup.

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 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.
