Deuxfleurs on NixOS!

This repository contains code to run Deuxfleur's infrastructure on NixOS.

It sets up the following:

• A Wireguard mesh between all nodes
• Consul, with TLS
• Nomad, with TLS

How to welcome a new administrator

See: https://guide.deuxfleurs.fr/operations/acces/pass/

Basically:

• The new administrator generates a GPG key and publishes it on Gitea
• All existing administrators pull their key and sign it
• An existing administrator reencrypt the keystore with this new key and push it
• The new administrator clone the repo and check that they can decrypt the secrets
• Finally, the new administrator must choose a password to operate over SSH with ./passwd prod rick where rick is the target username

How to create files for a new zone

The documentation is written for the production cluster, the same apply for other clusters.

Basically:

• Create your site file in cluster/prod/site/ folder
• Create your node files in cluster/prod/node/ folder
• Add your wireguard configuration to cluster/prod/cluster.nix
  • You will have to edit your NAT config manually
  • To get your node's wg public key, you must run ./deploy_prod prod <node>, see the next section for more information
• Add your nodes to cluster/prod/ssh_config, it will be used by the various SSH scripts.
  • If you use ssh directly, use ssh -F ./cluster/prod/ssh_config

How to deploy a Nix configuration on a fresh node

We suppose that the node name is datura. Start by doing the deployment one node at a time, you will have plenty of time in your operator's life to break everything through automation.

Run:

• ./deploy_wg prod datura - to generate wireguard's keys
• ./deploy_nixos prod datura - to deploy the nix configuration files
• need to be redeployed on all nodes as the new wireguard conf is needed everywhere
• ./deploy_password prod datura - to deploy user's passwords
• need to be redeployed on all nodes to setup the password on all nodes
• ./deploy_pki prod datura - to deploy Nomad's and Consul's PKI
