Replaces the manual scp+bounce sequence that landed registry:2.8.3 on
10.0.20.10 today (see commit 7cb44d72 + nginx-DNS-trap in runbook).
Addresses the "no repeat manual fixes" preference — future changes to
docker-compose.yml / fix-broken-blobs.sh / nginx_registry.conf /
config-private.yml / cleanup-tags.sh now deploy through CI.
Pipeline (.woodpecker/registry-config-sync.yml) mirrors
pve-nfs-exports-sync.yml: ssh-keyscan pin, scp the whole managed set,
bounce compose only when compose-visible files changed, always restart
nginx after a compose bounce (critical — nginx caches upstream DNS), end
with a dry-run fix-broken-blobs.sh to catch regressions.
Credentials:
- Woodpecker repo-secret `registry_ssh_key` (events: push, manual)
- Mirror at Vault `secret/woodpecker/registry_ssh_key`
(private_key / public_key / known_hosts_entry)
- Public key on /root/.ssh/authorized_keys on 10.0.20.10
- Key label: woodpecker-registry-config-sync
Runbook updated with "Auto-sync pipeline" section pointing at the new
flow + manual override command.
Closes: code-3vl

Discovered during the 2026-04-19 registry:2.8.3 pin deploy: nginx caches
its upstream DNS at startup and does NOT re-resolve after registry-*
containers are recreated. Symptom was /v2/_catalog returning
{"repositories": []} and /v2/ returning 200 without auth — nginx was
forwarding to a stale IP that a different backend container now owns.
Fix is always 'docker restart registry-nginx' after any registry-*
bounce. Captured in registry-vm.md so future manual operators and the
coming auto-sync pipeline (beads code-3vl) both encode the step.

Second identical registry incident on 2026-04-19 (first 2026-04-13): the
infra-ci:latest image index resolved to child manifests whose blobs had been
garbage-collected out from under the index. Pipelines P366→P376 all exited
126 "image can't be pulled". Hot fix (a05d63e / 6371e75 / c113be4) restored
green CI but left the underlying bug unaddressed.
Root cause: cleanup-tags.sh rmtrees tag dirs on the registry VM daily at
02:00, registry:2's GC (Sunday 03:25) walks OCI index children imperfectly
(distribution/distribution#3324 class). Nothing verified pushes end-to-end;
nothing probed the registry for fetchability; nothing caught orphan indexes.
Phase 1 — Detection:
- .woodpecker/build-ci-image.yml: after build-and-push, a verify-integrity
step walks the just-pushed manifest (index + children + config + every
layer blob) via HEAD and fails the pipeline on any non-200. Catches
broken pushes at the source.
- stacks/monitoring: new registry-integrity-probe CronJob (every 15m) and
three alerts — RegistryManifestIntegrityFailure,
RegistryIntegrityProbeStale, RegistryCatalogInaccessible — closing the
"registry serves 404 for a tag that exists" gap that masked the incident
for 2+ hours.
- docs/post-mortems/2026-04-19-registry-orphan-index.md: root cause,
timeline, monitoring gaps, permanent fix.
Phase 2 — Prevention:
- modules/docker-registry/docker-compose.yml: pin registry:2 → registry:2.8.3
across all six registry services. Removes the floating-tag footgun.
- modules/docker-registry/fix-broken-blobs.sh: new scan walks every
_manifests/revisions/sha256/<digest> that is an image index and logs a
loud WARNING when a referenced child blob is missing. Does NOT auto-
delete — deleting a published image is a conscious decision. Layer-link
scan preserved.
Phase 3 — Recovery:
- build-ci-image.yml: accept `manual` event so Woodpecker API/UI rebuilds
don't need a cosmetic Dockerfile edit (matches convention from
pve-nfs-exports-sync.yml).
- docs/runbooks/registry-rebuild-image.md: exact command sequence for
diagnosing + rebuilding after an orphan-index incident, plus a fallback
for building directly on the registry VM if Woodpecker itself is down.
- docs/runbooks/registry-vm.md + .claude/reference/service-catalog.md:
cross-references to the new runbook.
Out of scope (verified healthy or intentionally deferred):
- Pull-through DockerHub/GHCR mirrors (74.5% hit rate, no 404s).
- Registry HA/replication (single-VM SPOF is a known architectural
choice; Synology offsite covers RPO < 1 day).
- Diun exclude for registry:2 — not applicable; Diun only watches
k8s (DIUN_PROVIDERS_KUBERNETES=true), not the VM's docker-compose.
Verified locally:
- fix-broken-blobs.sh --dry-run on a synthetic registry directory correctly
flags both orphan layer links and orphan OCI-index children.
- terraform fmt + validate on stacks/monitoring: success (only unrelated
deprecation warnings).
- python3 yaml.safe_load on .woodpecker/build-ci-image.yml and
modules/docker-registry/docker-compose.yml: both parse clean.

Fixes single-upstream DNS brittleness on non-DHCP hosts. Each host now
has a primary internal resolver + external fallback (AdGuard) so DNS
keeps working if the primary resolver IP is unreachable.
New config:
- Proxmox host (192.168.1.127): plain /etc/resolv.conf with
nameserver 192.168.1.2 (pfSense LAN) + 94.140.14.14 (AdGuard).
Previously: single nameserver 192.168.1.1 — could not resolve
internal .lan names at all. Documented in
docs/runbooks/proxmox-host.md.
- Registry VM (10.0.20.10): systemd-resolved drop-in at
/etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/10-internal-dns.conf
(DNS=10.0.20.1, FallbackDNS=94.140.14.14, Domains=viktorbarzin.lan)
plus matching per-link nameservers in /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml.
Previously: 1.1.1.1 + 8.8.8.8 only — image pulls referencing .lan
hostnames would fail to resolve. Documented in
docs/runbooks/registry-vm.md.
- TrueNAS (10.0.10.15): host unreachable during this session
("No route to host" on 10.0.10.0/24). Deferred best-effort per
WS F instructions; noted on the beads task.
Both hosts have pre-change backups at /root/dns-backups/ for
one-command rollback. Fallback behaviour was validated by routing
each primary to a blackhole and confirming dig answered from the
fallback.
Both runbooks include the verified resolvectl / resolv.conf state,
the fallback-test procedure, and the rollback steps.
Closes: code-dw8
