CI passes --var ref=<github.sha> (a full SHA), but the playbook
hardcoded `git reset --hard origin/{{ ref }}` which only works for
branch names — `origin/<sha>` is invalid syntax. Resolve ref via
git rev-parse with `^{commit}` (try origin/<ref> first for branch
names, fall back to bare <ref> for SHAs/tags) so manual runs (ref=main)
and CI runs (ref=<sha>) both work.
Same fix applied to the changed_when comparison so no-op reruns still
report ok instead of changed.
stacks/task-board/compose.yaml + .env.example describe the runtime —
image tag is task-board:local (built on the host), 7878 on host maps
to 7878 in container, SQLite lives at /opt/docker/conf/task-board/data/
(bind mount, uid 1000 friendly), homepage auto-card labels under
Toolchain group, on traefik-net like the rest of the fleet.
playbooks/deploy-task-board.yaml is the first real elway playbook —
exercises everything we built tier-1 + tier-2 idempotency for:
- `creates:` on mkdir + first-time clone + compose dir + data dir
- `when:` to chown /opt/docker/build only if it came up root-owned
- `when:` to seed .env only if one doesn't already exist (never
clobbers user edits on rerun)
- `changed_when:` on the `git reset --hard` step so repeat runs
against the same ref report `ok` instead of `changed`
- `changed_when: "false"` on every verify step (they attest, not
change)
- `upload:` with mode for compose.yaml + .env
Post-up the playbook polls /api/health for 30s before handing off to
the verify phase, so verification doesn't race the healthcheck's
start_period. Verify covers: /api/health 200, /api/tasks shape, /mcp
reachable, container on traefik-net.
Prereqs documented in the playbook header: Docker + compose plugin,
traefik-net network, git SSH access to gitea from the target host.
