- Changed remote format: HTTP → SSH (git@host:org/repo.git)
- Better for VPS deployments (key-based auth)
- Check for SSH key and warn if missing
- Provide setup instructions in init output
- Agents still copied to .claude/agents/
- Lead with 'source' bootstrap command
- Point to QUICK-START for details
- Show new project init-project workflow
- Clarify agents available at .claude/agents/
- Update usage section
- Keep structure and documentation references
- Updated usage comment to show 'source' syntax
- Add IMPORTANT note about why to use source not bash
- Remove misleading 'Tip' about restarting shell
- Clarify commands are ready immediately
- Update output messaging
- Creates .claude/agents/ directory in each project
- Automatically copies agents from ~/.homelab-agents/agents/
- Makes agents available for Claude Code locally
- Agents can be referenced as .claude/agents/agent-name.md
- Gracefully handles missing agents
- Automatically adds 'export PATH="$HOME/.homelab-scripts:$PATH"' to ~/.bashrc
- Checks if already present to avoid duplicates
- Also adds to current session PATH immediately
- Eliminates need for manual 'export PATH' commands
- init-project now works in all future shells
- Document complete VPS setup workflow
- Show init-project usage for new projects
- Explain project structure (separate repos)
- Simplify instructions for clarity
- Include agent auto-update info
- Remove all user prompts for repository URL
- URL is now always constructed from folder name
- Add CRITICAL section highlighting auto-detection
- Simplify Step 5 to make auto-detection foolproof
- Update QA checklist to verify URL was auto-detected
- Never ask user for URL - this is a bug if it happens
- Agent now supports GITEA_API_TOKEN environment variable
- Automatically creates Gitea repos for new VPS projects
- Includes setup guide for generating and storing API tokens
- Falls back gracefully if token not available
- Reduces manual repo creation steps on new VPS instances
Documents completed work including:
- Fixed Gitea login 404 by updating domain to git.pdmarf.co.uk
- Configured ROOT_URL and SSH_DOMAIN for Pangolin tunnel access
- Set up automated daily database backups (2 AM cron, 7-day retention)
- Tested and verified backup/restore process

- Reverted ROOT_URL to HTTP on internal IP (100.120.125.113:3000)
- Clone commands use internal IP (works on local network and with Pangolin)
- Added note: Access UI at https://git.pdmarf.co.uk via Pangolin Tunnel
- Pangolin Tunnel handles HTTPS → HTTP conversion
Users on local network: Clone using http://100.120.125.113:3000/pdm/[repo]
Users via Pangolin: Access UI at https://git.pdmarf.co.uk
Both methods work with same repositories
- Updated Gitea ROOT_URL to https://git.pdmarf.co.uk/
- Updated all clone commands in HOW-TO-GUIDE.md to use new domain
- Changed server URL references to https://git.pdmarf.co.uk
- Session closer agent remains on internal IP for homelab use
Users can now access Gitea UI at https://git.pdmarf.co.uk
All documentation reflects the new domain for public access.
Complete documentation of Gitea setup process:
- System infrastructure verification and setup
- Gitea v1.21.5 installation and configuration
- Repository creation and population (homelab-agents, vps-system-apps)
- sysadmin-session-closer agent optimization for Gitea
- Comprehensive HOW-TO-GUIDE documentation
- All problems encountered and solutions
- Next session priorities
Repositories are fully functional and ready for deployment.
All documentation is comprehensive and accessible.

Next Session: Deploy to VPS and test workflows
- Changed all references from 'nano' to 'vim' editor
- Added new 'Terminology' section explaining:
- What 'workstation' means (your main development machine)
- Difference between workstation and VPS
- What a repository is
- Enhanced Workflow 1 with detailed explanation of workstation usage
- Added examples of workstation machines (laptop, desktop, etc.)
- Clarified when to use workstation vs VPS workflows
This makes the guide more accessible for users unfamiliar with homelab terminology.
- Basic clone commands for homelab-agents and vps-system-apps
- Step-by-step workflow for making and pushing changes
- Common workflows for different scenarios
- Useful git commands reference
- Troubleshooting section for common issues
- Quick reference card for frequently used commands
- Best practices and tips
This guide provides everything needed to get started with Gitea
for managing homelab projects and agent repositories.
- Simplified git remote detection for Gitea
- Added support for repository type auto-detection (homelab-agents vs VPS projects)
- Integrated Gitea URL (http://100.120.125.113:3000) throughout workflow
- Added context-aware commit message patterns
- Enhanced documentation for both shared and project-specific repositories
- Improved error handling for Gitea-specific scenarios
- Added edge case handling for repository creation and configuration
- Comprehensive QA checklist for session closure
This version seamlessly integrates with the pdm Gitea instance while maintaining
all original functionality for session context preservation and documentation.
