Niklas Ye	289eca8076	Move to Gitea: git.ryuvia.com/niklas/terdut-server ... The module path, the container image, the Helm chart and the CI pipeline all named GitHub. They now name the Gitea instance everything else already runs on. The workflows are rewritten rather than translated. Gitea's runner image is ubuntu:22.04, whose nodejs is Node 12, so no JS action runs there at all -- actions/checkout@v4 dies with a SyntaxError before it does anything. Every step is shell, checkout is a plain clone (this repo is public, so it needs no credential), and the jobs that need docker or helm run in host mode because the dind bridge a `container:` job gets cannot reach github.com or get.helm.sh. Two consequences worth naming: - upload-artifact/download-artifact are also JS actions, and there is no artifact store here, so the job that builds the binaries is the job that publishes them. Nothing is passed between jobs. - setup-qemu-action is gone with the rest, and the runner has no binfmt registration. The Dockerfile's builder stage now runs on $BUILDPLATFORM and cross-compiles from TARGETARCH instead, which is what keeps the arm64 image buildable -- and makes it native rather than emulated. The chart moves from a GitHub Pages index to an OCI artifact in Gitea's registry. Publishing stays tag-only for the reason recorded in release.yaml: a workflow triggered by the branch push cannot know the version it is about to be tagged with. The GitHub repository is left in place and untouched. Nothing pushes to it any more, but its existing release downloads and chart index keep resolving.	2026-08-19 20:39:10 +02:00
Niklas Ye	14c24f8fda	Notice when the Watchdog alert stops arriving ... Everything this server does assumes alerts arrive. If Prometheus stops evaluating, or Alertmanager cannot reach us, nothing arrives — and silence is indistinguishable from everything being fine. The cluster has shipped the alert for exactly this case all along: Watchdog is expr: vector(1), so it fires permanently and is re-sent forever, and it is worth nothing unless something downstream notices it stop. Nothing did. It arrived, opened no incident because a repeat_interval re-send is not a new occurrence, and when the monitoring stack died the sweeper quietly expired it and paged nobody. So the handling is inverted for a configurable set of alerts: receiving one opens no incident, and the absence of one does. TERDUT_DEADMAN_MATCHERS selects them as label matchers, defaulting to alertname=Watchdog. The unit of monitoring is the fingerprint rather than the alert name. Two clusters sending the same Watchdog are two independent switches, so a healthy one can never mask a dead one. Every matcher must name an alertname, which keeps the sweeper's candidate query on alerts_name_idx instead of JSON-extracting labels from every row, and leaves matching with a single implementation. A switch is dormant until its first heartbeat: a matcher nothing has ever sent opens nothing, so a fresh deploy or a restored database does not page. Resolving the incident by hand sticks, exactly as it does for an alert-backed one, so a decommissioned source is a one-time page rather than a nag; the switch re-arms only when the heartbeat comes back, and dying again is a new incident. The incident has no member alerts on purpose. Linking the heartbeat would have the settled-incident cascade close it on the very sweep that opened it, and there is no alert describing the problem anyway — the problem is that no alert arrived. What happened is on the timeline instead, and recovery is the only automatic way out. One narrow exemption in the ingest guard makes recovery possible at all. A heartbeat we declared dead is marked resolved, and the one that proves us wrong carries the unchanged startsAt of an alert that never stopped firing — so "resolution is terminal within an instance" would discard it forever and a switch could die exactly once. The exemption is scoped to resolution_source = 'deadman', which is the only resolution this server infers from silence on a timeout of its own, so nothing another writer set can be undone by a stale retry. Matched alerts are also held back from the generic staleness expiry, which would otherwise resolve a heartbeat as 'expiry' long before its own tighter deadline. The timeout points the opposite way to TERDUT_STALE_AFTER: staleness is a generous grace period around a repeat_interval you do not control, while this is a deadline you set deliberately and configure the heartbeat's route to beat. Inheriting a 4h or 12h repeat_interval gives a dead man's switch with a twelve hour fuse, so the README spells out the route the heartbeat needs.	2026-08-08 21:28:55 +02:00
