The nightly reboot at 04:30 UTC takes ~7 min of downtime (cloud-init, image pulls, container startup) and was tripping the 5-min alert. Jason is fine with longer downtime overnight and prefers no page for it. 15 min still catches a stuck reboot or a real outage with reasonable latency.

forge
Self-hosted Forgejo on GCP. e2-micro VM on Container-Optimized OS, Caddy for HTTPS, IAP for admin SSH, nightly backups to GCS. Targets ~$3–5/month.
See plan.md for the full design rationale.
Quick start
# 1. Set the active project, enable APIs
gcloud config set project YOUR_PROJECT
gcloud services enable compute.googleapis.com secretmanager.googleapis.com \
iap.googleapis.com storage.googleapis.com
# 2. Generate the Forgejo secrets in Secret Manager (one-time)
./scripts/bootstrap-secrets.sh
# 3. Configure Terraform (terraform.tfvars is gitignored)
$EDITOR terraform/terraform.tfvars
# 4. Apply
cd terraform
terraform init
terraform apply
Point your domain's A record at the static_ip output, then visit https://<your-domain> to run the Forgejo installer.
