Paul O'Reilly 752fdfd82e Add Docker UID matching best practice
Pattern for matching container user UID/GID to mounted volume owner
via a gosu-based entrypoint wrapper. Covers UID conflicts (Ubuntu 24.04
ships ubuntu:1000), K8s securityContext compatibility, and alternatives.

Learned from agent-runtimes M1 where Claude Code refuses
--dangerously-skip-permissions as root.

Best Practices Index

Generalised best practices extracted from real project work. Each topic file is self-contained — read only the files relevant to the current project.

  • Secrets Management — SOPS + age, credential handling, file naming, encryption gotchas
  • Git & Source Control — Commit practices, GitOps workflows, remote conventions
  • Kubernetes Patterns — Volume mounts, deployment strategies, naming, bootstrap ordering
  • Helm Charts — Schema validation, version verification, values structure
  • Ansible — Inventory, templates, idempotency, credential safety
  • Scripting — Shell conventions, verification scripts, idempotency, colour output
  • Documentation Standards — CLAUDE.md, MEMORY.md, FUTURE.md, README.md structure and tiered memory
  • Milestones & Reflections — Milestone workflow, verification, reflection process
  • Debugging Methodology — Systematic diagnosis, full-chain testing, common pitfalls
