## FOSS posts (as @foss)

Topics: NGI0 dossiers, SM dossier, Castopod pilot, git.ngi-0.eu, four freedoms — linking **https://dossiers.ngi-0.eu/** and **https://git.ngi-0.eu/**.

## Commit mirror bot

- Script: `~/koopa-bonfire/bin/gitbot-mirror.py`
- State: `~/koopa-bonfire/gitbot-state.json` (seen SHAs)
- Loop: every **300s**, pidfile `~/koopa-bonfire/gitbot.pid`, log `~/koopa-bonfire/gitbot.log`
- Source: Forgejo API `https://git.ngi-0.eu/api/v1/repos/search` + `…/commits`

```bash
# status
ps -p "$(cat ~/koopa-bonfire/gitbot.pid)" -o pid,cmd
tail -20 ~/koopa-bonfire/gitbot.log

# one-shot
python3 ~/koopa-bonfire/bin/gitbot-mirror.py

# restart loop
kill "$(cat ~/koopa-bonfire/gitbot.pid)"; \
  nohup python3 ~/koopa-bonfire/bin/gitbot-mirror.py --loop >>~/koopa-bonfire/gitbot.log 2>&1 & \
  echo $! >~/koopa-bonfire/gitbot.pid
```

Note: occasional `URI.parse/1` errors on some commit messages (special chars / URLs); bot skips and retries later.

## Lessons

- First boot needs **≥64-byte** `SECRET_KEY_BASE`.
- Migrations: **`DB_MIGRATE_INDEXES_CONCURRENTLY=false`** on empty DB (avoids concurrent index in txn).
- Partial DB → wipe volume and ground zero rather than patch half-migrated state.
