The flag was gated on the admin database not existing yet, treating the file's presence as proof the admin user had been created. It is not: PZ creates the DB file in ServerWorldDatabase.create() before it creates the admin user, so a boot interrupted between the two leaves a database with no admin in it. After that the guard withheld -adminpassword on every subsequent start, the server fell back to an interactive "Enter new administrator password:" prompt, read EOF because a detached container has no stdin, and died with NoSuchElementException. systemd restarted it into exactly the same state, 50 times, which is how this was found. Passing it unconditionally costs nothing when the admin already exists and removes the deadlock entirely. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Deploy Home
There's no place like home!
Just as Dorothy managed the simple task of clicking her heels together, the desire for an equally simple one-button push deployment was in my heart. Thus, this repository was made.
Ansible
Ansible, along with double encrypted secrets, deploys the necessary configurations to make the home fit for certain needs and desires. Namely, having access to my home from anywhere, securely, and a self-hosted CI server that easily ties into existing workflows.
Makefile
The makefile is primarily used as a wrapper script to ensure that necessary
files, such as the secret vault password file, are provisioned as part of this.
One such addition to the task is utilizing dependency pinning through the
utilization of Python's virtualenv to lock down the specific dependency
versions within the requirements.txt file. This, ideally, prevents any
deployment issues with dependency version woes (e.g. version conflicts, major
updates in newest versions, etc.)
