v3 closed 2026-09-02: Q1 answered in chat ("cloudron postgres solved — wire up the remote access, hook first"). The deploy hook LANDED (#734, E2E proven); the pairing hit a wrong premise and needs a fork ruling below. Version up (v4 -> v5) on the next Q&A round.

Repo-local questions
Q1 — HA instance pairing mechanism (blocks #626 family access; would like before Friday)
The 2025.7+ "built-in pairing" premise was WRONG — no such core integration exists as of 2026.8.3 (verified on both instances + HA core + docs; full research in #626 note). Options:
- (A) HACS custom
remote_homeassistanton the Cloudron HA — full entity mirroring + control, matches the ruled architecture. Needs a founder file/HACS install on the Cloudron app (~30 min of your time; no agent API for Cloudron app files). Caveat: community reports of recent breakage (remote entities unavailable) — I'd vet the GitHub issues before committing. - (B) One-way API bridge — pfv-bms pushes ~20 key family states (temps, UPS, garage/artroom) to the Cloudron HA REST API + I build family dashboards there via websocket. I can build it entirely tonight; family gets read-only visibility; no control.
- (C) MQTT broker on the VPS, both instances bridge — bidirectional, but a new always-on service + YAML on both sides.
Answer (A/B/C) + does family need to TOGGLE things at the property, or just see status?
Q2 — gitea webhook allowlist (1-line + restart; unlocks instant deploys)
gitea silently drops webhook deliveries to CGNAT-range targets (SSRF
ALLOWED_HOST_LIST default — no delivery attempt, no log line; restart
doesn't help; that's why hook #10 never fired). Until it opens, the
5-minute sha-watch net deploys everything reload-only — already live.
To open the instant path: Cloudron file manager → gitea app.ini →
[webhook]
ALLOWED_HOST_LIST = external,private
then restart gitea. Say the word when done — I'll verify hook #10 fires end-to-end (it carries the full restart-mapping logic).
