# Tomter Vel — infrastructure
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Everything the vel's own site needs on one host, as containers: Caddy
|
|
|
|
|
for TLS, NATS with JetStream for the records, Kanidm for who is who,
|
|
|
|
|
and portal, the site itself. The content (pages, forms, desks) lives
|
|
|
|
|
in [tomtervel/questions](https://prosjekt.klingenbergbygg.no/tomtervel/questions)
|
|
|
|
|
and is fetched from there; this repo owns the host.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
Internet ──► Caddy (Let's Encrypt)
|
|
|
|
|
├── PORTAL_HOST ──► portal:3000 ──► NATS (records) + Kanidm (login)
|
|
|
|
|
└── ID_HOST ─────► kanidm:8443 (internal TLS)
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Today the vel's draft site runs on Klingenberg Bygg's host as
|
|
|
|
|
vel.klingenbergbygg.no, sharing that host's Kanidm and NATS. This repo
|
|
|
|
|
is the same site on a host of the vel's own, with a Kanidm of its own,
|
|
|
|
|
so nothing about the vel's members or records depends on anyone else.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## First start
|
|
|
|
|
|
2026-09-28 11:15:29 +02:00
|
|
|
On a fresh Linux host with podman + podman-compose and openssl (run rootful,
|
|
|
|
|
i.e. as root, so Caddy can bind 80/443 and Kanidm sees a stable source IP):
|
2026-09-22 19:06:31 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
|
|
|
git clone https://prosjekt.klingenbergbygg.no/tomtervel/infrastructure /srv/tomtervel/infrastructure
|
|
|
|
|
cd /srv/tomtervel/infrastructure
|
|
|
|
|
cp .env.example .env # set PORTAL_HOST and ID_HOST; DNS must point here
|
2026-09-28 11:15:29 +02:00
|
|
|
sudo sh bootstrap.sh # renders configs, makes the internal cert, starts, recovers Kanidm admin
|
2026-09-22 19:06:31 +02:00
|
|
|
sh kanidm-setup.sh # logs in, creates the portal client and desk groups, restarts portal
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`bootstrap.sh` prints the `admin` and `idm_admin` passwords once;
|
|
|
|
|
write them down. After `kanidm-setup.sh`, https://PORTAL_HOST serves the
|
|
|
|
|
site and https://ID_HOST is the login.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2026-09-28 12:31:14 +02:00
|
|
|
## Running on kasse (behind the host Caddy)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The vel keeps its **own** Kanidm and NATS here so it can later lift onto a host
|
|
|
|
|
of its own unchanged — on kasse it just runs in isolation, fronted by kasse's
|
|
|
|
|
existing host Caddy (which owns 80/443). So the bundled Caddy stays off (it's
|
|
|
|
|
behind `profiles: [edge]`); run the default `podman compose up -d --build`.
|
|
|
|
|
The services publish loopback-only ports for the host Caddy to reach:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- portal → `127.0.0.1:3050`
|
|
|
|
|
- kanidm → `127.0.0.1:8443` (internal self-signed TLS)
|
|
|
|
|
- nats → `127.0.0.1:4223` (kasse's shared platform NATS owns 4222)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add two host-Caddy site blocks in `/etc/caddy/conf.d/`, using the vel's `.env`
|
|
|
|
|
hosts (`vel.klingenbergbygg.no → :3050` already exists):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
<PORTAL_HOST> {
|
|
|
|
|
reverse_proxy localhost:3050
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
<ID_HOST> {
|
|
|
|
|
reverse_proxy https://localhost:8443 {
|
|
|
|
|
transport http { tls_insecure_skip_verify }
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then `sudo systemctl reload caddy`, point the content repo's `lint-and-reload`
|
|
|
|
|
reload step at `nats://127.0.0.1:4223`, and retire the old systemd portal:
|
|
|
|
|
`sudo systemctl disable --now app@tomtervel-portal`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2026-09-22 19:06:31 +02:00
|
|
|
## People and desks
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each group in the content (`qualifies:` under `questions/`) is a
|
|
|
|
|
Kanidm group `tomtervel_<group>`, all members of `tomtervel_members`.
|
|
|
|
|
Someone in `tomtervel_styret` logs in and sees the board's desk.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
|
|
|
kanidm -D idm_admin -H https://ID_HOST person create kari "Kari Lien"
|
|
|
|
|
kanidm -D idm_admin -H https://ID_HOST person update kari --mail kari@example.no
|
|
|
|
|
kanidm -D idm_admin -H https://ID_HOST person credential create-reset-token kari
|
|
|
|
|
kanidm -D idm_admin -H https://ID_HOST group add-members tomtervel_styret kari
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Membership is read at login; someone added while logged in logs out
|
|
|
|
|
and in again.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Content changes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A push to tomtervel/questions is linted on push and tells the portal
|
|
|
|
|
to reload over NATS. That reload reaches the host it runs on: today
|
2026-09-28 11:15:29 +02:00
|
|
|
Klingenberg Bygg's. On this host the runner is a **host service**
|
|
|
|
|
(`pacman -S gitea-runner`, registered against prosjekt.klingenbergbygg.no) —
|
|
|
|
|
not an in-compose container — so it reaches NATS on the published
|
|
|
|
|
`127.0.0.1:4222`. Give the content repo's `lint-and-reload.yml` a reload job
|
|
|
|
|
whose `runs-on` matches that runner's host label, running
|
2026-09-22 19:06:31 +02:00
|
|
|
`nats --server nats://portal:$NATS_PASSWORD@127.0.0.1:4222 pub portal.content.reload ""`.
|
2026-09-28 11:15:29 +02:00
|
|
|
Until then, `podman compose restart portal` picks up new content.
|
2026-09-22 19:06:31 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Upgrading portal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bump `PORTAL_RELEASE` in `.env` (a tag of uhhm/portal) and
|
2026-09-28 11:15:29 +02:00
|
|
|
`podman compose up -d --build portal`. Keep `IRIS_RELEASE` in the
|
2026-09-22 19:06:31 +02:00
|
|
|
content repo's workflow matched to it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Backups
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Kanidm writes a nightly backup into its volume (`/data/backups`,
|
|
|
|
|
seven kept); copy that directory off the host.
|
|
|
|
|
- NATS JetStream data is the `nats_data` volume: every record ever
|
|
|
|
|
submitted and every state change. Snapshot the volume.
|
|
|
|
|
- Caddy's certificates regenerate; nothing to keep.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## What is not here
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mail (a person's reset link is a token you hand them), monitoring, and
|
|
|
|
|
the vel's current website at tomtervel.no, which stays where it is
|
|
|
|
|
until the vel points the apex at PORTAL_HOST.
|
2026-09-28 20:37:07 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Mail
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Portal decides what to send - a `mail:` on a state in the content, or an
|
|
|
|
|
invite - and publishes it on this stack's NATS. `gdo` is what hands it to
|
|
|
|
|
a mail server, and it runs here, in the vel's own stack, so the vel's mail
|
|
|
|
|
leaves on the vel's own terms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It has no mail server of its own. It relays through the host's, which on
|
|
|
|
|
kasse is Klingenberg Bygg's postfix on port 25, reached from the container
|
|
|
|
|
as `host.containers.internal`. That is the one thing in this stack the vel
|
|
|
|
|
borrows, and the one thing that changes if the vel ever moves to a host of
|
|
|
|
|
its own: point `SMTP_HOST` at whatever that host runs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`site.yaml` in the content repo needs a `mail.from`, or portal has nothing
|
|
|
|
|
to send from and says so in its log.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Replies are not read yet: `JMAP_URL`, `JMAP_TOKEN` and `MAIL_REPLY_DOMAIN`
|
|
|
|
|
turn a reply into a note on the record it answers, and none of them are set
|
|
|
|
|
here.
