Package Naming Cleanup Proposal

Current Package Names (Ugly! 😱)

talos-cozystack-spin-only/matchbox
talos-cozystack-spin-tailscale/matchbox
talos-cozystack-spin-tailscale/talos
talos-cozystack-spin-only/talos

Problems:

  • ❌ Repetitive “talos-cozystack” prefix
  • ❌ Line wrapping in GitHub UI
  • ❌ Hard to distinguish node types at a glance
  • ❌ “matchbox” packages not needed for AWS (only home lab PXE)

Proposed Clean Names ✨

Option 1: Minimal & Clean

cozystack/gateway          # Talos + Spin + Tailscale
cozystack/compute          # Talos + Spin only  
cozystack/matchbox         # PXE server (home lab only)

Option 2: Descriptive

cozystack/talos-gateway    # Talos gateway node
cozystack/talos-compute    # Talos compute node
cozystack/pxe-server       # Matchbox for home lab

Option 3: Role-Based (Matches ADR-004)

cozystack/gateway-node     # Role: Tailscale subnet router
cozystack/compute-node     # Role: Spin workload runner
cozystack/netboot-server   # Role: Home lab PXE/DHCP

Benefits of Cleanup

✅ GitHub UI: No more ugly line wrapping
✅ Clarity: Obvious node roles at a glance
✅ Consistency: Matches ADR-004 role terminology
✅ Simplicity: Remove redundant “talos-cozystack” prefix

Implementation

Update GitHub Actions workflow:

  • Change REGISTRY and image tags
  • Update Dockerfile LABEL metadata
  • Rebuild and push with new names

Update Documentation:

  • All references to old package names
  • boot-to-talos OCI image URIs
  • Test suite expected image names

Recommendation

Go with Option 3: cozystack/gateway-node, cozystack/compute-node, cozystack/netboot-server

Why: Matches ADR-004 role-based architecture, clearest for demo audiences, shortest names for GitHub UI.

Proposal: Fix the package names before December 3 demo! 🚀
