One host, four containers, content fetched from tomtervel/questions. bootstrap.sh renders configs from .env and recovers the Kanidm admin; kanidm-setup.sh creates the portal client and the desk groups. An optional runner profile lets the content repo's reload reach this host. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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 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
On a fresh Linux host with docker (compose plugin) and openssl:
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
sh bootstrap.sh # renders configs, makes the internal cert, starts, recovers Kanidm admin
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.
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.
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 Klingenberg Bygg's. For this host, start the runner profile once with a registration token from the tomtervel org's Actions settings:
docker compose --profile runner up -d
and give the content repo's lint-and-reload.yml a reload job with
runs-on: tomtervel that runs
nats --server nats://portal:$NATS_PASSWORD@127.0.0.1:4222 pub portal.content.reload "".
Until then, docker compose restart portal picks up new content.
Upgrading portal
Bump PORTAL_RELEASE in .env (a tag of uhhm/portal) and
docker compose up -d --build portal. Keep IRIS_RELEASE in the
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_datavolume: 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.
