vel isolation on kasse: own Kanidm(:8443)+NATS(:4223) behind the host Caddy
The vel keeps its own identity+bus so it can later lift onto a host of its own
unchanged. On kasse it runs in isolation fronted by kasse's host Caddy: kanidm
publishes 127.0.0.1:8443 (shared Kanidm is on 8310) and nats publishes
127.0.0.1:4223 (kasse's shared platform NATS owns 4222). README documents the
two conf.d site blocks (portal -> :3050, id -> https://localhost:8443 with
tls_insecure_skip_verify), the reload port, and the app@ handoff.

# 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
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):
```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
sudo 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.
## 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`.
## 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
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
`nats --server nats://portal:$NATS_PASSWORD@127.0.0.1:4222 pub portal.content.reload ""`.
Until then, `podman compose restart portal` picks up new content.
## Upgrading portal
Bump `PORTAL_RELEASE` in `.env` (a tag of uhhm/portal) and
`podman 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_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.
