A dockerfile or static workload can opt in to reading its deploy config from a
.tinyforge.yml in its own repo. Tinyforge fetches the file, shows field-level
drift vs the live config, and an admin applies it with an explicit Sync. The
repo becomes the source of truth for the declared fields. Manual-sync only;
no auto-apply on deploy, no multi-workload reconcile, no create/delete in v1.
Scope is deliberately source-aware and source_config-resident: dockerfile
declares port/healthcheck/deploy_strategy, static declares deploy_strategy.
The file never carries repo coords or secrets (those stay in the encrypted
DB), which keeps credentials out of the repo.
Backend:
- internal/gitops: Spec/ParseSpec (KnownFields rejects unknown keys), a
source-aware ApplyPlan/BuildPlan, MergeAndValidate (omitted-field-preserving
deep merge + validate-the-merged-result-then-commit — never a partial
config), declared-only Drift with normalization, and Fetch with
ok/no_file/fetch_failed/invalid statuses and token-redacted messages.
- staticsite: DownloadFile added to GitProvider + Gitea/GitHub/GitLab impls,
reusing each provider's SSRF-safe client; 64 KiB cap; ErrFileNotFound.
- store: 4 additive gitops_* columns + setters (disjoint from UpdateWorkload
so the edit-form save and a sync never clobber each other).
- api: GET /workloads/{id}/gitops (status + raw + live drift + managed_fields),
PUT /gitops (admin, enable/path, traversal-safe), POST /gitops/sync (admin,
per-workload locked read->merge->validate->write, audited to event_log).
Frontend:
- GitOpsPanel.svelte: status pill, a purpose-built field-level drift view,
.tinyforge.yml preview, enable ToggleSwitch, Sync via ConfirmDialog; all five
statuses handled, admin affordances gated on the real viewer role.
- GitOps-managed badge (list + detail hero) and a read-only edit-form banner.
- api.ts fetchers + types; i18n apps.detail.gitops.* (en + ru parity).
Built phase-by-phase with an adversarial plan review (caught 5 design flaws
pre-implementation) and an independent review per phase (go / security / ts /
final) — all APPROVE, 0 CRITICAL/HIGH. docs/gitops.md documents the schema and
what's intentionally out of v1. Plan: plans/gitops/.
Rebrand the project as Tinyforge to reflect its evolution from a Docker
container watcher into a self-hosted mini CI/deployment platform.
Rename covers: Go module path, Docker labels, DB/config filenames,
JWT issuer, Dockerfile binary, docker-compose, CI workflows, frontend
i18n, README with static sites docs, and all code comments.
Security: apply AdminOnly middleware to mutating routes, require
ENCRYPTION_KEY and ADMIN_PASSWORD (no insecure defaults), restrict
CORS to same-origin, fix OIDC token delivery via cookie instead of
URL query param, add rate limiting on login, add MaxBytesReader,
validate volume paths against traversal, add security headers,
validate user roles, add Secure flag to OIDC cookie.
Performance: set SQLite MaxOpenConns(1) to prevent SQLITE_BUSY,
add FK indexes on 8 columns, track notifier goroutines with
WaitGroup for graceful shutdown, use GetRegistryByName instead of
GetAllRegistries in deployer, pass basePath param to avoid redundant
settings query, return empty slices from store to remove reflection.
Quality: refactor TriggerDeploy to delegate to runDeploy (~100 lines
removed), consolidate duplicated utilities (extractPort, boolToInt,
now, isTerminalStatus) into shared exports, migrate all log.Printf
to slog structured logging, use consistent webhook response envelope,
remove dead code (parseEnvVars, duplicate auth types).
UX: clean up NPM proxy on instance removal via API, add README with
quickstart guide, add .env.example, require ADMIN_PASSWORD in
docker-compose, document staging-net prerequisite.
