Next Steps

1. Update DNS Record

   # Update your DNS provider to point:
   git.photon.obnh.io A 45.131.64.213
   

2. Wait for DNS Propagation (5-60 minutes)

3. Verify Accessibility

   # Test web access
   curl -L https://git.photon.obnh.io
   
   # Test git operations
   git clone https://git.photon.obnh.io/user/repo.git
   git clone ssh://git@git.photon.obnh.io:222/user/repo.git
   

4. Monitor for 24 Hours

   ssh root@fry.obr.sh "docker logs -f gitea"
   ssh root@fry.obr.sh "docker logs -f gitea_postgres"
   

5. Decommission Photon Gitea (after 7 days)

---

Rollback Procedure (If Needed)

# 1. Restart on photon
ssh root@photon.obnh.io "cd /opt/gitea && docker compose up -d"

# 2. Stop on fry
ssh root@fry.obr.sh "cd /opt/gitea && docker compose down"

# DNS automatically points back to photon (46.247.109.251)

Technical Notes

Why Not Dockge WebUI?

The Gitea stack on photon was created with docker-compose CLI, not via Dockge. Dockge displayed "This stack is not managed by Dockge", so we used direct SSH + docker compose commands instead. This proved more reliable and scriptable.

Migration Method

1. Backup: pg_dump → SQL file
2. Transfer: scp to fry
3. Deploy: docker compose up -d postgres
4. Restore: psql < backup.sql
5. Start: docker compose up -d gitea

Security

• PostgreSQL password preserved from original
• Gitea security keys/tokens preserved
• Recommendation: Rotate secrets post-migration
• Database bound to localhost only (127.0.0.1:5432)
