tanshu e68f8ab00d Run the Sites as rootless Podman Quadlets, and build with podman
The fleet on emily is rootless Podman with Quadlet units under
~/.config/containers/systemd and state in ~/podman-data, all behind one shared
Caddy unit. This brings the menus in line instead of leaving them the last
Docker deployment. The build moves with them: podman reads a Containerfile as
readily as a Dockerfile, so the name now says which toolchain is real.

The app is one .container and one .network file. Two details carry it.
UserNS=keep-id maps the image's own node account onto the user that owns the
units, so data/ and site.env stay owned by tanshu: plain tar backups, no
subuids. provision-site-env.sh writes site.env with the same mapping rather
than --user, which under rootless Podman would have produced a subuid-owned
file the app could not read. And the Site registers its own network with Caddy
by writing a drop-in beside caddy.container, so Caddy never lists its upstreams
and never changes when a Site is added. The unit keeps the Docker-era container
name for the scripts and muscle memory that look it up, while the Caddyfile
proxies to a dotless NetworkAlias, because a container name with dots in it is
a liability in DNS.

The unit keeps podman's Pull=missing, so a restart or a reboot never depends on
the registry being reachable, while the play pulls explicitly at deploy time.
That is also where a missing `podman login` for the private registry now fails,
with the instruction, rather than as a unit that will not start.

copy-site-data.sh moves a Site's data across, and is not a plain rsync:
/var/lib/menu.* on monoco belongs to uid 1000 while the ssh user there is 1001,
so the read needs sudo; monoco cannot ssh to emily, so the workstation relays
the tar; and the extraction runs as tanshu on emily, which is what makes the
files land owned by the user keep-id maps the app onto. It proves the copy by
comparing a SHA-256 of the whole tree against the source and checking every
file's owner.

Not yet done: the copies themselves and the DNS move, which need a human.

# Caddy is its own playbook (ansible-playbooks/caddy/playbook.yml) and a rootless
# Quadlet unit there. These handlers run as the connection user, so
# `systemctl --user` and `podman exec` work without any XDG_RUNTIME_DIR juggling.
# Notified by this role when the Caddyfile changes. A reload keeps existing
# connections; a restart would briefly drop every hosted site.
#
# Note the config path: /etc/caddy/Caddyfile is the mount inside the container,
# not {{ caddyfile_path }}, which is the host side of it.

# Notified by roles/register when this Site's network unit, or the drop-in that

# `docker network connect`, so the container has to be recreated — a brief
# restart of every hosted site, not just this one. See the Caddy playbook's
# readme, "Trade-off worth knowing".

# Defined after the reload above so that when both are notified the cheap config
# reload happens first.
