After build-iso, a new smoke-vm job uploads the freshly built ISO to
the test Proxmox at 192.168.178.165 via PVE API token, boots it in a
fresh VM (VMID range 9000-9099, MAC derived from commit SHA so the
runner can find the DHCP IP by scanning the LAN), and curls :5000 to
confirm the webinstaller answers HTTP 200. Last 5 smoke VMs + their
ISOs are kept for post-mortem; older ones are purged. continue-on-error
on the smoke job so a VM-side flake doesn't mark the ISO build red.
Shortens the feedback loop on ISO regressions from "next manual VM
test session" (days) to "next push" (minutes) — the 2026-04-15/16 VM
sessions each found real boot-time bugs that unit tests missed.
Docs at docs/smoke-vm.md. Requires Forgejo secrets PVE_TEST_HOST and
PVE_TEST_TOKEN (dedicated smoke@pve!ci PVE token, privilege-separated).

Earlier config was enable_push=false + apply_to_admins=false, which I
expected to let the repo owner push directly. Empirically it blocked
owner pushes too — apply_to_admins governs approval-rule bypass, not
push-rule bypass. Switch to enable_push=true with enable_push_whitelist
and a single entry so the owner has explicit, auditable direct-push
access while casual commits still can't land without being whitelisted
or going through a PR.

Codifies the branch protection applied to main on 2026-04-16: no
direct pushes, required checks = CI / {lint,test,validate-json}*,
zero approvals (2-person team), admin bypass left on for emergencies.
Script is idempotent (create-or-patch) and reads its token from
\$FORGEJO_TOKEN or the local git remote URL as a fallback, so a
clean re-run just reconciles the rule with branch-protection.json.

A lot moved since the last docs sweep. Catching everything up in one
batch so a newcomer (or future us) reading the repo isn't lied to.
**README.md roadmap:**
- Walking-skeleton live ISO: upgraded from "screens 1-3 work
end-to-end" to "install runs to completion on a VM and the installed
system logs in and runs `docker ps` without sudo".
- 26.0-alpha release: dropped the "deferred" note — its blocker
(archinstall not completing) is gone; just needs a re-tag when we
like the installer copy.
- Added an explicit "ISO-build in CI" line for the new
`.forgejo/workflows/build-iso.yml`.
- Split the old "mDNS + local CA" item: mDNS is live (hostname baked
in, avahi/nss-mdns in the image), HTTPS via local CA still open.
- Noted post-install reboot button, progress bar, archinstall 4.x
schema work, console welcome, custom_commands docker group join in
the wizard milestone bullet.
**docs/runner-setup.md:**
- Full rewrite for the docker-outside-of-docker architecture we
actually run now (was still describing the DinD sidecar setup).
- Documents the `/data` symlink on the host that makes host-mode
`-v /data/…:/work` resolve — the non-obvious piece that took the
longest to nail down today.
- Describes the two runtime modes (`ubuntu-latest:docker://…` for CI,
`self-hosted:host` for build-iso) and why each exists.
- Adds the `upload-artifact@v3` pin note — v4+ fails on Forgejo with
`GHESNotSupportedError`.
**ops/forgejo-runner/compose.yml + config.yml:**
- Compose now matches what's actually running: DooD (no DinD sidecar),
runs as root so apk can install nodejs + docker-cli at startup,
/var/run/docker.sock bind-mounted.
- Config gets the three explicit label mappings and DooD
`docker_host` + `valid_volumes`.
**.forgejo/workflows/build-iso.yml:**
- Added `paths-ignore` for docs/website/*.md so doc-only commits don't
kick off 5-min ISO rebuilds. Code + ISO overlay changes still
trigger.

Hugo static site with an intentionally minimal single-page copy — English
default, German under /de/ — while the project stays pre-alpha. No CMS, no
external theme, no webfonts, no external requests. System-UI sans on a
paper-white / near-black palette with a deep crimson accent; a small
wicket-gate SVG as the sole brand mark.
Hosting: nginx on forge-runner-01 serves /var/www/furtka.org; the upstream
openresty proxy terminates TLS so the VM itself only speaks plain HTTP.
Deploy is ./website/deploy.sh (rsync + remote hugo --minify). One-time VM
bootstrap in ops/nginx/setup-vm.sh.
Bootstrap script + compose + config checked in under ops/forgejo-runner/
so a second runner is a scripted setup. runner-setup.md corrects the
register label format (<name>:docker://<image>, not bare names) and
documents the Ubuntu systemd-resolved DNS gotcha.
