fscotto.co domain transition
Observed state (2026-10-03)
Namecheap remains the DNS provider. The operator moved GitHub Pages to
blog.fscotto.co in fscotto/fscotto.github.io, aligned Hugo and Pages
settings, and changed the apex A record to 179.237.102.172. The blog
remains a CNAME to fscotto.github.io; mail records were left unchanged.
A new Hugo deployment and cache clearing resolved the initial stale DNS
and generated URLs. Blog HTTPS returned 200 with valid TLS.
The git, music and syncthing subdomains are CNAMEs to fscotto.co.
The operator added NPM Proxy Hosts with certificates, WebSocket support
and Force SSL:
| Hostname | HTTP upstream |
|---|---|
| git.fscotto.co | 192.168.178.55:3000 |
| music.fscotto.co | 192.168.178.55:4533 |
| syncthing.fscotto.co | 192.168.178.55:8384 |
All three redirected HTTP to HTTPS and returned final HTTPS 200 with valid TLS. Only the Syncthing GUI uses NPM; native synchronization is unchanged. NPM administration remains loopback-only on port 81 via SSH tunnel.
Gitea canonical hostname
Atlas declares atlas_gitea_public_domain: git.fscotto.co. Ansible manages
only [server] DOMAIN, ROOT_URL and SSH_DOMAIN in the existing private
app.ini, preserving unrelated settings and mode 0600. Private configuration
backups are created; diffs and secret-bearing results are suppressed.
Only Gitea restarts when these fields change; a repeat run changed nothing.
HTTPS uses https://git.fscotto.co/; public SSH remains TCP/2222.
Agent read-only checks returned the same HEAD from fscotto/infra.git
over HTTPS and authenticated SSH. SSH host identity was checked against
the already-trusted old endpoint key. No test push or user-authenticated
web login was performed by the agent.

Client remotes do not update automatically. Update them deliberately after checking repository paths; integrations and webhooks are separate operations. For the verified infrastructure repository only:
git remote set-url origin ssh://git@git.fscotto.co:2222/fscotto/infra.git
Do not copy this path into unrelated clones. Verify Gitea's known SSH key before accepting the new hostname's identity.
Local DuckDNS retirement
DuckDNS support has been removed entirely from the server profile. On 2026-10-03 the explicit
Ansible cleanup removed the five-minute rocky cron entry and the private
~/duckdns directory containing only duck.sh and duck.log. The temporary
cleanup tasks and flag were subsequently removed from the playbook at the
operator's request. The updater provisioning tasks, template, variables and
enablement flag were also removed; there is no retained opt-in support.
The external DuckDNS name, Vault token, disabled NPM hosts and certificates
remain untouched for a separate future decision.
Before removing the temporary cleanup tasks, the repeat cleanup changed nothing.
The cron table had no remaining entries, NPM and the export timer were active,
and NPM administration still listened only on 127.0.0.1:81.
Operator-confirmed transition completion
On 2026-10-03 the operator confirmed completion of:
- Web login on the new Gitea hostname.
- Updates to remaining Git remotes, webhooks and integrations.
- Removal of obsolete DuckDNS NPM Proxy Hosts, unused certificates and the old upstream override.
- Review and removal of completed one-time procedures from the playbook.
These are operator confirmations, not new agent runtime checks or a test push. At the earlier inspection the three old DuckDNS Proxy Hosts were disabled, not deleted; that observation predates the confirmed cleanup. Existing backup archives remain preserved. DNS/Pages/NPM changes were operator actions; the Gitea application configuration change was deployed through Ansible.
