Hosts with a search domain (e.g. search casjay.dev) cause containers
to inherit it. When that zone has a wildcard AAAA record, public
hostnames like github.com resolve to the host's own IPv6 address
instead of the real server, breaking all HTTPS (and any other
protocol) from inside the container.
The entrypoint already has a hook: if /usr/local/etc/resolv.conf
exists it replaces /etc/resolv.conf at container startup. Ship a
clean resolv.conf with Cloudflare + Google DNS and no search domain
so container DNS is always correct regardless of host configuration.
- rootfs/usr/local/etc/resolv.conf: new file — clean DNS, no search domain
rootfs/usr/local/etc/resolv.conf
HOSTNAME resolution now tries hostname -f (FQDN) before falling back
to the short $HOSTNAME, giving a usable ROOT_URL out of the box on
hosts where the FQDN is set in /etc/hosts or DNS.
- rootfs/usr/local/etc/docker/init.d/08-gitea.sh: HOSTNAME fallback
chain: GITEA_SERVER → GITEA_HOSTNAME → FULL_DOMAIN_NAME →
hostname -f → $HOSTNAME

Two issues with existing persistent volumes:
1. Deprecated app.ini settings ([cors].X_FRAME_OPTIONS,
[picture].DISABLE_GRAVATAR, [picture].ENABLE_FEDERATED_AVATAR) were
baked into the volume config from the old template and never removed
on subsequent container starts.
2. ROOT_URL/DOMAIN/SSH_DOMAIN were substituted once on first run from
the container hostname and never updated when GITEA_SERVER/GITEA_PROTO
env vars changed, causing the "Mismatched ROOT_URL" warning.
Fix: add migration + dynamic resync in __update_conf_files (08-gitea.sh)
that runs on every startup against both the persistent (/config/gitea)
and runtime (/etc/gitea) copies of app.ini, so changes take effect
immediately without a second restart.
Set GITEA_PROTO=https and GITEA_SERVER=git.casjay.work to populate
the correct ROOT_URL at container start.
- rootfs/usr/local/etc/docker/init.d/08-gitea.sh: add dynamic ROOT_URL
resync and deprecated-setting removal to __update_conf_files
rootfs/usr/local/etc/docker/init.d/08-gitea.sh
Runners were launched in parallel subshells with only a 2-second gap
between them. act_runner register is a network call; if Gitea was
still warming up any registration could race past an earlier one,
causing Gitea to assign IDs out of sequence (1,3,2,5,4 instead of
1,2,3,4,5).
Split into two phases: register all runners sequentially first so IDs
are assigned in the correct order, then launch all daemons in parallel
once every runner is confirmed registered.
- rootfs/usr/local/bin/start-runners: split __start_runner into
__register_runner (sequential, phase 1) and __start_runner_daemon
(parallel, phase 2); remove the sleep 2 workaround
rootfs/usr/local/bin/start-runners
Fixes three bugs discovered during live container testing.
The critical bug was a bash post-increment no-op: `exitCode=$((exitCode++))`
assigns the *old* value back to the variable, so exitCode stays 0 even
when a download fails. This caused the Docker build to succeed silently
when the gitea binary download failed, publishing a broken image to Docker Hub.
- rootfs/root/docker/setup/05-custom.sh: change exitCode=$((exitCode++)) to
exitCode=$((exitCode + 1)) in both the gitea and act_runner failure handlers
- rootfs/usr/local/bin/entrypoint.sh: change CONTAINER_NAME and description
from "archlinux" (copied template default) to "gitea"
- rootfs/usr/local/etc/docker/init.d/08-gitea.sh: remove leading space from
[ -d " /config/ssh" ] path test so the directory existence check is correct

Three more bugs found during full component verification:
1. RUNNER_CONFIG_DEFAULT pointed to config.yaml but the actual
template filename is default_config.yaml — gitea named runner
never registered because the file-existence check always failed.
2. CACHE_CONFIG_FILE pointed to cache.yaml but the actual template
filename is cache_server.yaml — cache-server launch always
skipped silently.
3. act_runner v1.0.6 requires cache.external_secret on both the
cache-server and any runner using external_server; neither config
had it, so cache-server exited immediately and runner registration
failed when external_server was present in default_config.yaml.
4. Registration log redirect was 2>/dev/stdout >>"$log" (stderr went
to original stdout, not the log); corrected to >>"$log" 2>&1.
- rootfs/usr/local/etc/docker/init.d/zz-act_runner.sh:
- RUNNER_CONFIG_DEFAULT: config.yaml → default_config.yaml
- CACHE_CONFIG_FILE: cache.yaml → cache_server.yaml
- fix registration log redirect: >>"$RUNNER_LOG_FILE" 2>&1
- rootfs/tmp/etc/act_runner/default_config.yaml: remove
external_server (no shared secret configured; each runner uses
its own internal cache)
- rootfs/tmp/etc/act_runner/cache_server.yaml: set enabled: false
(cache-server requires external_secret; disabled until a proper
shared-secret setup is added)
Verified: 6 daemons on fresh start (1 gitea named + 5 runners), all
with 22 labels; clean reconnect on restart with no re-registration.

Runner registration was broken by three compounding bugs:
1. Token generated at script init time (before gitea was ready)
2. gitea CLI missing --work-path/--custom-path flags, writing fatal
log messages to stdout which got captured as the token value
3. Token assignment inside a piped subshell didn't propagate back
to the parent shell, leaving SYS_AUTH_TOKEN empty at runtime
4. INSTALL_LOCK=false in app.ini template caused gitea to start in
install-wizard mode, making generate-runner-token always fail
- rootfs/tmp/etc/gitea/app.ini: set INSTALL_LOCK=true so gitea
auto-initializes the SQLite DB on first run
- rootfs/usr/local/etc/docker/init.d/zz-act_runner.sh:
- defer SYS_AUTH_TOKEN: initialize to empty at global scope,
generate in __run_pre_execute_checks after gitea is confirmed up
- add --work-path/--custom-path to gitea CLI call; filter output
with grep -oE '[A-Za-z0-9]{20,}' to extract only the token
- guard token generation on INSTALL_LOCK=true in app.ini
- read token back from $CONF_DIR/tokens/system after the piped
__run_pre_execute_checks call returns (subshell escape)
Tested: fresh start registers all 5 runners with full 22-label set;
restart skips re-registration and reconnects all 5 daemons cleanly.

When su_exec is empty (service runs as root, no user-switching needed),
printf '%q ' $su_exec expands to the literal string '' which gets embedded
in the generated start script as a command prefix, causing bash to try
executing a program named '' and failing immediately. Also add explicit
PATH and HOME exports to the RESET_ENV=no generated script so services
are not dependent on environment inheritance.
- rootfs/usr/local/etc/docker/init.d/05-dockerd.sh: fix _q_su assignment
in both RESET_ENV branches to use ${su_exec:+...} so it's empty string
(not '') when su_exec is empty; fix format string %s%s (no space between
su and cmd, su already carries trailing space); add PATH and HOME exports
to RESET_ENV=no generated script

The daemon was called with --config pointing at the .runner registration
state file (JSON), not a YAML config. act_runner rejected it immediately
on every start, so all runners were always offline and never reconnected.
Also fix log truncation and stale fallback labels.
- rootfs/usr/local/bin/start-runners: remove --config from act_runner
daemon invocation (act_runner finds .runner in CWD automatically after
cd "$runner_dir"); fix __log to append (>>) instead of truncate (>);
update fallback RUNNER_LABELS to match the full label set defined in
zz-act_runner.sh

Was added as a reference artifact during framework migration work
and should not live in the repo.

rootfs/usr/local/etc/docker/init.d/00-server01.sh
Fix all undefined variable references and logic errors that would
prevent runner registration and daemon startup from working.
- rootfs/usr/local/etc/docker/init.d/zz-act_runner.sh: fix GITEA_USER
typo (missing $ before SERVICE_USER); define 9 previously undefined
variables: RUNNER_IP_ADDRESS, RUNNER_CONFIG_DEFAULT, RUNNER_DEFAULT_HOME,
RUNNER_CONFIG_NAME, RUNNER_LOG_FILE, RUNNER_DAEMON_LOG, RUNNER_CACHE_HOST,
CACHE_CONFIG_FILE, CACHE_LOG_FILE; swap ctime/waitTime local declarations
so ctime is defined before waitTime uses it; quote act_runner daemon and
cache-server --config paths
rootfs/usr/local/etc/docker/init.d/zz-act_runner.sh
Update the embedded entrypoint copies in rootfs/ to match the
upstream template change. Internal state files renamed to dotfiles
so they're not matched by `/run/*.pid` cleanup globs:
- /run/init.d/entrypoint.pid -> /run/.entrypoint.pid
- /run/no_exit.pid -> /run/.no_exit.pid
- /run/backup.pid -> /run/.backup.pid
- /run/__start_init_scripts.pid -> /run/.start_init_scripts.pid
Per-service PIDs in /run/init.d/ are unchanged.
