app.windygit.com / api.windygit.com / models.windygit.com are serving over
HTTPS with ZERO inbound ports open on Grant's network.
- tunnel 4e856c5d, 4 registered edge connections, systemd-managed and bounded
- three proxied single-level CNAMEs (Free Universal SSL covers them; a
two-level name would need ACM and would die in the TLS handshake)
- services bound to 127.0.0.1 with configurable host ports — Veron 1 is
Grant's workstation and 3000/3300 belong to other projects
- docs/RUNBOOK-VERON.md
I-12 PROVEN IN PRODUCTION: /version reports source=baked with a sha equal to
the deployed HEAD.
Also fixed: the tunnel health probe targeted localhost from inside a container,
so it was permanently red. A check that is always red is as useless as one that
is always green — it is how a fleet canary goes 37 days dead unnoticed.

RUNBOOK — Windy Git on Veron 1 (rung R0)
Host Veron-1-5090, WireGuard 10.10.0.6, alias wg-veron. Passwordless sudo.
⛔ Kit 0 is never a host for this service (D-4). api/app/main.py refuses to
boot in production if it finds itself on 72.60.118.54.

Ports — all loopback, on purpose
| Port | Service |
|---|---|
127.0.0.1:3080 |
Gitea (host 3000 is a resident node dev server; 3300 is nginx — do not fight them for a port) |
127.0.0.1:8600 |
windy-git API |
127.0.0.1:2000 |
cloudflared metrics |
No inbound port is opened. cloudflared dials out, so the dynamic residential IP is irrelevant and there is no firewall hole to maintain.
Start / stop
ssh wg-veron
cd /srv/windygit/src
sudo docker compose ps
sudo docker compose logs -f api
sudo systemctl status windygit-tunnel
Deploy
ssh wg-veron
cd /srv/windygit/src && git pull
export COMMIT_SHA_BUILD=$(git rev-parse HEAD) BUILT_AT=$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)
sudo -E docker compose up -d --build
curl -s https://api.windygit.com/version # MUST equal git rev-parse HEAD
⚠️ Never put COMMIT_SHA in .env. It does nothing here — the sha is baked
into the image and a runtime override is ignored with a warning (I-12). That env
pin is the documented root cause of nine sibling services misreporting their
commit, and one reporting another repo's commit entirely.
Verify (the four things that must be true)
curl -s https://api.windygit.com/version | jq # source must be "baked"
curl -s https://api.windygit.com/health/full | jq # degraded is HONEST, not broken
curl -sI https://app.windygit.com/ | head -1 # Gitea, 200
sudo ss -tlnp | grep -E "3080|8600" # both must be 127.0.0.1
Troubleshooting
A hostname returns 530 or won't resolve — the tunnel is down. sudo systemctl restart windygit-tunnel, then journalctl -u windygit-tunnel -n 50.
TLS handshake fails with curl exit 35 and no HTTP status at all — someone
added a two-level hostname. Free Universal SSL covers windygit.com and
*.windygit.com only. The request dies before the tunnel is consulted, so it
presents as "the app is broken" when the app is perfect. Either go back to a
single level or buy Advanced Certificate Manager ($10/mo).
Port bind fails on docker compose up — a resident project took the port.
Set GITEA_PORT / API_PORT in .env and update /etc/cloudflared/config.yml
to match. Never stop another project's container to free a port.
/health/full says degraded — that is the design (I-8). Read checks: an
unconfigured provider is honest, not broken. R2, Gitea admin token and Eternitas
are wired in strands G2–G4.
Promotion to R1 (first external push)
R0's honest limits: no SLA, it is Grant's workstation, and there are no VPS-style snapshots. All acceptable while Grant is the only user; all disqualifying the moment a stranger depends on it. The trigger is not a date — it is the first external push. Move the control plane to a dedicated VPS (not Kit 0), keep Veron 1 as the runner. It is an rsync, a Postgres dump and three DNS record edits.
