Viktor asked to evaluate fully external image builders because in-cluster
CI builds keep destabilising the homelab (Forgejo OOM under registry-push
load, hairpin push timeouts, build IO on the shared sdc HDD, registry PVC
at its 50Gi ceiling). The evaluation was grilled to a decision set:
- every owned image builds on GitHub Actions and lives on ghcr.io
(extends the 2026-06-09 tripit pilot to the whole fleet)
- per-repo visibility: 9 public mirrors + images (gated on a clean
gitleaks/PII history scan), the personal/finance/gray ones stay private
- clean cut: no in-cluster fallback build pipelines; existing
build-fallback.yml files are deleted
- Woodpecker becomes deploy-only; Forgejo registry freezes to one
last-known-good tag per Service after a manual cleanup pass
- dead builders (terminal-lobby, webhook-handler, hmrc-sync, trading-bot,
travel-agent, trip-planner) are decommissioned, not migrated;
travel_blog is decommissioned outright; manual images (x402-gateway,
chrome-service-novnc, chatterbox-tts, android-emulator) get formalized
GHA builds; infra-ci + CLI builds move to GHA on the public infra repo
CONTEXT.md: updated 'GHA build + Woodpecker deploy', added 'Canonical
repo', 'GitHub mirror', 'Forgejo registry' terms, image-path relationship,
and a 'registry' ambiguity entry.
