# portal_1
|
||||
|
||||
Minimal NixOS target for a Vultr VM, installed with nixos-anywhere. The Nix
|
||||
flake target is `portal_1`; the machine hostname is `portal-1` because DNS
|
||||
hostnames cannot contain underscores.
|
||||
|
||||
## Before deploying
|
||||
|
||||
1. Confirm the VM's system disk is `/dev/vda`. If it is not, update both
|
||||
references in `disk-config.nix`.
|
||||
2. Confirm the SSH public key in `default.nix` is the key that should have
|
||||
administrator access.
|
||||
3. Boot the VM into a NixOS installer or another nixos-anywhere-compatible
|
||||
Linux rescue environment with root SSH access. Keep this environment
|
||||
running while completing the SOPS bootstrap below.
|
||||
|
||||
## Bootstrap SOPS
|
||||
|
||||
Use the rescue environment's SSH host key as the permanent portal identity.
|
||||
Replace `VM_IP` below:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
ssh root@VM_IP 'cat /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key.pub' | \
|
||||
nix shell nixpkgs#ssh-to-age --command ssh-to-age
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This prints an `age1...` recipient; it does not copy the private key. Add the
|
||||
recipient to `.sops.yaml`:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
- &system_portal_1 age1...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then add `*system_portal_1` to the age recipients for
|
||||
`users/secrets.yaml`. Re-encrypt the existing file for the new recipient and
|
||||
add the Tailscale key:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
nix shell nixpkgs#sops --command sops updatekeys users/secrets.yaml
|
||||
nix shell nixpkgs#sops --command sops users/secrets.yaml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Add the OAuth client secret from the `Auth Keys: Write` credential in the SOPS
|
||||
editor and save it:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
tailscale_auth_key: tskey-client-...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Deploy
|
||||
|
||||
From the repository root, replace `VM_IP` with the VM's public IP:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
nix run github:nix-community/nixos-anywhere -- \
|
||||
--copy-host-keys --flake .#portal_1 root@VM_IP
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This repartitions `/dev/vda`, so anything already on that disk is erased. The
|
||||
layout reserves 8 GiB for swap and assigns the remaining space to the root
|
||||
filesystem.
|
||||
|
||||
`--copy-host-keys` preserves the same private SSH host key at
|
||||
`/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key` on the installed system. SOPS-Nix converts that
|
||||
key to an age identity during activation. After the reboot, connect as
|
||||
`richie` and verify that automatic Tailscale enrollment succeeded:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
ssh -p 278 richie@VM_IP
|
||||
sudo tailscale status
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The installed OpenSSH service listens on port 278. Port 22 is served by
|
||||
Endlessh and will not provide an SSH login.
|
||||
|
||||
HAProxy uses the same frontend, routing, and rate-limiting configuration as
|
||||
Jeeves. Portal manages the ACME certificates for the existing public domains;
|
||||
their DNS records must resolve to Portal for HTTP-01 issuance and renewal.
|
||||
|
||||
The application backends still use Jeeves' original `127.0.0.1` addresses.
|
||||
Replace them with the corresponding Tailscale addresses before directing
|
||||
application traffic through Portal. Ports 80 and 443 are allowed through the
|
||||
firewall.
