Documented as matching regardless of language, on the assumption
Gmail's subject: operator does a substring match — empirically false
against a real, currently-arriving LiveTrack email whose subject does
contain the word ("Sledujte LiveTrack používateľa ...", confirmed
2026-09-20): with the filter, the search returned zero threads;
removing it and rerunning found the email immediately. Left out
entirely rather than replaced — from:noreply@garmin.com plus the
session-link regex already narrows this down to real LiveTrack emails
with something usable in them.
The runner's label-to-image mapping got repointed at Gitea's own
official runner image (docker.gitea.com/runner-images:ubuntu-latest,
has Node out of the box) — the earlier opensuse/leap:16.0 mapping for
brick-build specifically was what broke check/renovate on 2026-09-12,
not brick-build the label itself. Back to pinning both to this
machine specifically instead of whichever runner answers to the
shared ubuntu-latest label.
brick-build's job container (opensuse/leap:16.0) has no Node.js, and
every step in check/renovate (checkout, setup-ruby, setup-node) is a
JS-based Action that needs it just to start — both runs since the
brick-build switch failed immediately, and deploy never ran because it
depends on check passing. ubuntu-latest is shared with "Gitea Runner on
Cube" (not pinned to this specific machine), but that's fine: only
deploy (a unique label held by just brick's native runner) actually
needs to land on a specific box.
Renovate no longer needs Docker access for a one-shot docker-run job:
switched to setup-node + npm install -g renovate (matching labelprint's
workflow), so it fits the same brick-build runner as check instead of
the stale "deploy" label. Also note down the build-log readability/API
gaps flagged from a real failed terrain build.
App crashed on startup on brick (Permission denied @ dir_s_mkdir -
/app/data/gpx) — brick has SELinux enforcing, unlike cube, and Podman
denies a container write access to a bind-mounted host directory
without a relabel regardless of Unix permissions. Applied to both
maptool's ./data mount and kiwix's ZIM mount (same underlying cause,
would have hit this too once a real ZIM is placed there).
plugins/ ships baked into the image and gets wiped/replaced by the
checkout sync on every deploy (docs/deployment.adoc), so a private
plugin dropped there — the exact use case the plugin contract was
designed for — didn't survive a redeploy the way uploaded GPX/kiwix
data under data/ does.
Plugins.list/run now accept either one directory or an array, and
app.rb checks the built-in plugins/ plus data/plugins/ (already
covered by the existing ./data bind mount, no new volume needed).
Sources now sync into /srv/podman/maptool/build/ (wiped and fully
replaced every deploy, nothing in it needs preserving) instead of
directly into /srv/podman/maptool/ itself, where data/ and .env also
live — the old sync step had to specifically skip data/ by name to
avoid wiping it; this way there's nothing to skip.
docker-compose.yaml is symlinked (ln -sf, relative target) from
/srv/podman/maptool/ up to build/ — both for a human to still find it
at the top, and because that symlink's own location, not build/, is
what compose resolves ./data and .env's directory against. No changes
to docker-compose.yaml or the podman-compose@.service systemd unit's
WorkingDirectory needed.
Verified against a full local dry run of the new sync step (copy into
a fake build/, symlink up, confirm pre-existing data/ survives) and
`docker-compose config` against the real docker-compose.yaml through
that symlink — both volume mounts (./data, the kiwix ZIM path)
resolved to the sibling data/ directory as intended, not build/data.
lib/maptool/kiwix.rb: a small reachability check for an external
kiwix-serve instance. GET /api/kiwix reports it (same optional-
integration pattern as offline-tiles/terrain-tiles); the frontend
adds a "Nearby on Wikipedia" link to a point's popup pointing straight
at kiwix-serve's own geo search (GET /search?latitude=&longitude=
&distance=, confirmed from libkiwix's actual source rather than
guessed) — linked to directly, not proxied/embedded, since it already
has a full search UI of its own.
docker-compose.yaml: new `kiwix` service (ghcr.io/kiwix/kiwix-serve)
on the default network, KIWIX_URL wired to reach it by service name.
The ZIM itself isn't part of the repo (large, self-contained archive)
— data/kiwix/ gitignored same as the *.pmtiles files, setup steps in
docs/development.adoc.
No kiwix-serve/ZIM available here to test end-to-end — verified the
app side against a stand-in local HTTP server (GET /api/kiwix flips
available correctly) and confirmed the generated popup link matches
the real geo-search query shape. docker-compose.yaml validated with
`docker-compose config`. Full test suite: 118 runs, 0 failures.
/api/health now reports REVISION alongside status, and the CI wait
step checks for this deploy's own short SHA specifically - a stray
old container that never got torn down (or a build that silently
kept serving stale code) would still 200 on a plain health check but
now won't match.
systemctl restart (Type=simple, no readiness protocol) returns as
soon as podman compose up --build forks, before the build or the
container start have actually finished - a build failure or crash
loop would still show as a green deploy job. Poll /api/health for up
to 5 minutes (comfortably above the ~3.5min worst-case cold rebuild)
and fail the job if it never answers.
podman-compose@.service was missing the --build flag that
docker-compose@.service already has (added on cube.local:
/etc/systemd/system/podman-compose@.service), so removing
maptool:latest before every restart (my own earlier fix, meant to
force a rebuild) also destroyed the build cache along with it - every
deploy was redoing apt-get/bundle install from scratch (~3 min
measured, vs ~20s before). --build lets a plain systemctl restart
rebuild while still reusing unchanged layers, same as docker did, so
the ci.yml deploy step collapses back to one line.
The service's own ExecStart deliberately runs a plain podman compose
up (no --build) since ExecStartPre already tears down the previous
containers/networks/volumes on every start — but that leaves the
built image alone, so the deploy job now removes it directly first
(what forces a fresh build) and drives start/stop through systemctl
rather than calling podman/docker compose by hand. Also switches
/srv/docker/maptool to /srv/podman/maptool per the symlink now in
place, and updates deployment.adoc to match.
Adds a gnss-simulator service to docker-compose.yaml, sharing
maptool's network namespace (network_mode: "service:maptool") so it's
reachable at the 127.0.0.1:2947 GpsdClient hardcodes -- there's no
real receiver attached to the server, so without this the "GNSS"
control there always shows "no fix". Both services now reference the
same image (maptool:latest) explicitly rather than each service with
its own `build: .` producing two separately-tagged (if
identically-layered) images.
Verified for real: built and ran the full compose stack in an
isolated project/port on cube (not the live one), confirmed
/api/gnss/position reports a moving fix across two polls through the
actual sidecar networking, then tore it down completely -- containers,
image, network, temp checkout. Production's own stack was untouched
throughout and confirmed still healthy afterward.
Clicking a LiveTrack session now fetches and draws its track (line +
latest position). Garmin's own API 403s any plain server-side request
(Cloudflare bot protection), so LiveTrackClient fetches the session
page instead and pulls the track out of the server-rendered data
embedded in it. The webhook now captures the session's token too,
since the id alone isn't enough to fetch anything.
A Gmail-watching Apps Script (documented in docs/deployment.adoc) posts
the session ID from each LiveTrack email to a new webhook, which stores
it in data/livetrack.json; a new sidebar panel lists what's been
received.
MAPTOOL_ALLOWED_GITEA_USER now accepts a comma-separated list of
Gitea usernames instead of just one, for when more than one person
needs upload/delete/move access.
Upload/delete/move/create-folder now require logging in via Gitea
OAuth2 (only MAPTOOL_ALLOWED_GITEA_USER is granted write access);
reading stays public. Deploy secrets (session secret, OAuth2 client
credentials, allowed user) are written to .env from Gitea Actions
repo secrets on every deploy instead of living on the server by hand.
Also switch the container's bind address to "[::]" (dual-stack) so
the app is reachable over IPv6, not just IPv4.
The Docker-based runner's own container is too minimal for host-mode
jobs (no rsync, docker CLI, or Node.js) and has no reliable path to
the host filesystem or systemctl otherwise. Register a separate,
native runner (label deploy:host) just for deployment, and point the
deploy job at it.
Host-mode jobs run directly in the runner container instead of a
spawned per-job container, so JS actions like actions/checkout@v4
have no Node.js runtime to execute with. Replace it with a plain git
fetch/checkout in the deploy job.
Containerize the app (Dockerfile, docker-compose.yaml) and add a CI
deploy job that syncs the checkout to /srv/docker/maptool and runs
docker compose directly, using the runner's new "host" execution
label to reach the host's Docker daemon and filesystem.
