Any route asked for without a trailing slash sent the visitor to a port nothing answers on from outside: $ curl -sSI https://rob.tn/activity HTTP/2 301 location: https://rob.tn:14443/activity/ `try_files $uri $uri/` 301s a slash-less directory URL to add the slash, and nginx builds that Location as an absolute URL from its own $server_port. This vhost listens on WEB_LISTEN — 127.0.0.1:14443, behind the edge's stream SNI router — so the redirect advertised 14443 instead of the 443 the client used. The browser then sat on a TCP connect that never completes and gave up only after its own timeout, 60s+, before showing an error. It reads as the site hanging. `absolute_redirect off` makes the Location relative, so the client keeps whatever scheme, host and port it actually used. `port_in_redirect off` would drop the port too, but this also stops nginx asserting a scheme and host it cannot know from behind the router. Every /activity, /blog, /cv and /project/... request without the trailing slash was affected — external links, bookmarks, typed URLs, crawlers. In-app navigation never round-trips to the server, and `/` needs no directory redirect, which is why the homepage always loaded fine and this stayed hidden. It is not a regression from any recent change; it follows from the vhost listening on a shifted port. Verified by reproducing the port leak in a container listening on 8081 published as 18081 — `Location: http://127.0.0.1:8081/activity/` before the directive, `Location: /activity/` after — then rendering the real template through script/render-site-conf.py (9 placeholders in, none surviving) and passing `nginx -t` on the result. Closes #9
moments
personal activity timeline and portfolio site. polls public sources (github, gitea, mercurial, bugzilla), stores raw payloads in postgres, and serves a dashboard + project detail views to a react frontend.
successor to the now-defunct grenade-events-react, which depended on mongodb stitch (retired by mongodb in september 2022).

hg repos are archived (mozilla retired hg). the worker skips hg after the first successful scan. for bulk ingestion, script/hg-ingest.sh clones repos locally and inserts via psql, avoiding rate limits on hg-edge.mozilla.org.
frontend routes
| path | page | description |
|---|---|---|
/ or /dash |
dashboard | contribution graphs (daily + all-time weekly) + ranked project cards with forge icons and language info |
/activity |
timeline | filterable activity feed with source toggles, date range slider, and event limit |
/activity/:timespan |
timeline | pre-filtered by date (YYYY-MM-DD) or range (YYYY-MM-DD..YYYY-MM-DD) |
/project/:source/* |
project detail | repo readme, language breakdown bar, per-repo activity timeline |
/cv |
resume | loaded from github gist, markdown-rendered |
shared layout provides nav header (dash, activity, cv + external links) and footer across all routes.
api endpoints
| method | path | description |
|---|---|---|
| GET | /v1/healthz |
liveness probe |
| GET | /v1/events?from=&to=&source=&repo=&limit= |
reshaped timeline items |
| GET | /v1/sources |
per-source summary (count, earliest, latest) |
| GET | /v1/projects |
per-repo aggregated stats (commits, issues, prs, date range) |
| GET | /v1/activity/daily?from=&to= |
per-day event counts for contribution graphs |
| GET | /v1/forge/{source}/*?host= |
proxy to github/gitea apis (avoids cors) |
| GET | /v1/og/contributions.png |
server-rendered contribution graph as png (resvg) |
the og image endpoint renders the all-time weekly contribution graph as svg, rasterizes to png via resvg, and serves it with a 1-hour cache. used as the og:image meta tag for social media previews.
local development
cargo build --workspace
cargo run -p moments-api # serves on 127.0.0.1:8080
cargo run -p moments-worker # starts all pollers
cd ui && npm install && npm run dev # vite dev server on :5173
the api expects a postgres reachable at DATABASE_URL. in production this is an mtls connection using the host cert. for local dev against a throwaway database:
DATABASE_URL=postgres://localhost/moments cargo run -p moments-api
migrations live in crates/moments-data/migrations/ and run automatically on worker startup. the api connects as moments_ro and never runs migrations — the worker (as moments_rw) is the schema owner.
private work is counted but never described: events.public gates the detail
endpoints (events, projects, activity/summary, languages/repos) while the
count endpoints (activity/daily, activity/hourly, sources, languages/daily)
include everything, so a private repo shows up as volume on the contribution graph
without leaking its name or commit messages. because that flag is stamped at ingest
and the pollers are all incremental, the github and gitea sources re-read current
repo visibility on each poll and rewrite events.public across the affected repo's
whole history — a repo flipped to private upstream stops being described, one
flipped back to public reappears.
deployment
deployment is driven by Gitea Actions, not an operator workstation:
.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml— on push tomain(or manual dispatch): lint/test gate, build the api + worker as static musl binaries and the prerendered web bundle, then deploy each component over SSH as thegitea_ciuser with scoped sudo (asset/sudoers.d/)..gitea/workflows/refresh.yml— dailyschedule:(or manual): rebuilds and redeploys only the web tier, re-baking the prerendered crawler snapshot without bouncing the api/worker.
both workflows carry the infra truth (hosts, ports, paths) in their env: blocks and render the nginx vhost through the shared script/render-site-conf.py, which fails the build if any template placeholder is unset rather than shipping it. one-time per-host provisioning (the gitea_ci user, its authorized_keys, the scoped sudoers drop-in) is script/infra-setup.sh.
the shape of the deployment:
| component | notes |
|---|---|
| api | binds the port from api.config.bind; firewalld service moments-api |
| worker | no listening port; pollers only |
| web | per-site nginx ingress; /api/* reverse-proxies to the api host |
| db | postgres mtls, passwordless |
postgres roles moments_rw and moments_ro must exist on the primary, with pg_ident.conf.d/<host>.conf mapping the api host's fqdn to moments_ro and the worker host's fqdn to moments_rw. see asset/sql/bootstrap-moments.sql, asset/postgres/ident.conf.tmpl, and script/db-perms.sh.
the worker's poller tokens are Gitea repo Actions secrets (QUERY_GITHUB_TOKEN, QUERY_GITEA_TOKEN — the bare GITHUB_TOKEN/GITEA_TOKEN names are reserved by Actions). deploy.yml's deploy-worker job substitutes them into the matching {{NAME}} placeholders in worker.env.tmpl at deploy time; secrets come from the runner environment and never touch a command line.
