The runner's job images were built by ansible into localhost/ only, so the nightly CI prune deleted them and every idle stretch ended with CI failing in under a second on `docker pull localhost/gitea-ci:latest` until someone re-ran the role and waited out a rebuild. The previous commit moved them to the Gitea registry; this moves the *build* off the deploy path entirely. - .gitea/workflows/ci-images.yml builds files/Containerfile.* and pushes to git.debyl.io/gitbot/. Per-image change detection, so an ESP-IDF pin bump does not rebuild the other two; weekly schedule for base-image updates; a workflow_dispatch selector. PRs build under a throwaway :pr-<n> tag and drop it -- the build lands in the live runner's store, and act_runner will not re-pull a tag it already has, so a PR using the real tag would hand every later job on this host an unmerged image. - The Containerfiles stop being ansible templates: their version vars are now --build-arg, read by the workflow out of the same defaults/main.yml the role interpolates, so CI and ansible build the same bytes from one set of pins. - LABEL io.debyl.ci-base moves into each Containerfile so neither builder can forget the prune exemption; the workflow re-checks it before pushing. - roles/gitea-actions pulls instead of building. gitea_ci_build_local=true restores the local build+push for seeding a cold registry or when CI is down -- the workflow that builds gitea-ci runs in gitea-ci. - Lint .gitea/ alongside ansible/, and document the flow in the role README.

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.)
| Target Name | Description |

deploy |
Deploys everything, or only tasks specified in TAGS= environment variable |
check |
Runs deploy in a "dry-run", showing diff-style outputs on tasks indicating changes |
vault |
