Put the same Caddy in front, or distribute `registry.json` out of band (it is signed, so the channel does not matter). The snapshot is versioned; nodes reject rollback and fail static during outages.
## Code hosting and downloads (Gitea)
The public source and release binaries live at `git.federatedsearch.org` (Gitea), so the
download step on the membership page stays on infrastructure the federation operates.
One-time install on the server (root):
```
VER=1.27.3
curl -fsSLO https://dl.gitea.com/gitea/$VER/gitea-$VER-linux-amd64{,.sha256}
sha256sum -c gitea-$VER-linux-amd64.sha256
install -m 0755 gitea-$VER-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/gitea
adduser --system --shell /bin/bash --gecos 'Gitea' --home /home/git --group git
mkdir -p /var/lib/gitea/{custom,data,log} /etc/gitea && chown -R git:git /var/lib/gitea /etc/gitea
```
`/etc/gitea/app.ini` essentials (rest defaults; secrets via `gitea generate secret`):
```ini
WORK_PATH = /var/lib/gitea
[database]
DB_TYPE = sqlite3
PATH = /var/lib/gitea/data/gitea.db
[server]
DOMAIN = git.federatedsearch.org
SSH_DOMAIN = git.federatedsearch.org
ROOT_URL = https://git.federatedsearch.org/

HTTP_PORT = 3000

systemd unit (`User=git`, `ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/gitea web --config /etc/gitea/app.ini`,
`WorkingDirectory=/var/lib/gitea`), then `gitea migrate --config /etc/gitea/app.ini` as the
`git` user and `systemctl enable --now gitea`. Git-over-SSH uses the host sshd via the `git`
user's Gitea-managed `authorized_keys`; HTTPS pushes can use an access token instead.
Admin bootstrap (as `git` user):
```
gitea admin user create --admin --username <you> --email <you>@federatedsearch.org --random-password --config /etc/gitea/app.ini
gitea admin user generate-access-token -u <you> -t bootstrap --scopes all --config /etc/gitea/app.ini
```
The org is `frx`, the repo `frxd` → clone URL
`https://git.federatedsearch.org/frx/frxd.git`. Membership stays closed (signup code);
repo reads are public.
Publishing a release (from the checkout):
```
git tag v0.1.0 && git push gitea v0.1.0
# build static binaries (see next section), then attach via the API:
curl -X POST https://git.federatedsearch.org/api/v1/repos/frx/frxd/releases \
-H "Authorization: token <token>" -H 'content-type: application/json' \
-d '{"tag_name":"v0.1.0","name":"v0.1.0"}'
curl -X POST https://git.federatedsearch.org/api/v1/repos/frx/frxd/releases/<id>/assets?name=frxd-linux-amd64 \
-H "Authorization: token <token>" -F attachment=@frxd-linux-amd64
```
Asset URLs follow `/frx/frxd/releases/download/<tag>/<file>` — the membership page pins
those. Bump the page when a release changes.
## Private networks and custom CAs
- `ca_cert = "/etc/ssl/private-ca.pem"` in `[node]`, or `--ca-cert` on the relay: adds a private/corporate root CA for relay and registry connections.

`[profile.release]` enables LTO and stripping. All dependencies are pure Rust, so the musl build has no system-library requirements. `ring` needs a musl C toolchain (`musl-tools`); without host sudo, build in a container instead:
```

Binaries land in `target/x86_64-unknown-linux-musl/release/`; rename to
`frxd-linux-amd64` / `frx-linux-amd64` for release assets, with `sha256sum` sidecar files.
