Phase 1: cross-client homelab context + MCP scaffolding
Add the foundation for distributing homelab context to every client (LXCs, VMs, workstations including republic-laptop, mac-mini, ludo-mini) with a single source of truth, structured query layer (MCP), and per-client age-key issuance for secrets: - inventory.yaml — canonical topology (hosts, services, mesh addresses) - hosts/*.yaml — per-host identity files generated from inventory by mcp/build_host_files.py; do not edit by hand - AGENTS.md — orientation doc symlinked to /root/AGENTS.md on every client - bootstrap.sh — one-shot enroll (Linux + macOS), clones repo, fetches age key from issuance, installs sync timer/launchd job, drops the homelab CLI - bin/homelab — single-binary Python CLI: whoami, list, ssh, pct, logs, restart, open, status, secret, sync, mcp, client add/remove, nuke - mcp/server.py — FastMCP server: context tools + read-only management tools (no mutations exposed); shell-outs use mcp-reader restricted ssh key - mcp/deploy/ — claudio-monitor-style gitea webhook deploy scaffold for the MCP service on LXC 105 (ports 9810 mcp, 9811 webhook) - secrets-issuance/ — per-client age key auto-provisioning over the mesh; source-IP gated against inventory, with denylist for revoked clients (ports 9820 issue, 9821 webhook) - secrets/, .sops.yaml — SOPS recipient scaffolding; the operator fills in age public keys after Phase 3a generates them - scripts/sync/ — systemd timer (Linux) + launchd plist (macOS) pulling /opt/homelab-context every 5 min Mesh: both Netbird (preferred, 100.122.0.0/16) and Tailscale accepted during the in-flight migration; no client is gated on completing the move.

# secrets/
|
||||
|
||||
SOPS-encrypted YAML files. The plaintext lives only in transit and in the
|
||||
operator's head — committed files are always ciphertext.
|
||||
|
||||
## Conventions
|
||||
|
||||
- One file per logical grouping (e.g. `gitea-tokens.yaml`, `webhook-hmacs.yaml`,
|
||||
`api-keys.yaml`).
|
||||
- Recipients are declared in `../.sops.yaml` by path-regex, not per-file.
|
||||
- The plaintext schema inside each file is free-form YAML; the consumer code
|
||||
decides what it expects (e.g. `gitea-tokens.yaml` contains
|
||||
`{"<host>": "ghp_xxx"}`).
|
||||
|
||||
## How to add a secret
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Decide which clients should be able to decrypt it; edit ../.sops.yaml to
|
||||
# list their age public keys for the new path_regex.
|
||||
# 2. Create the plaintext, encrypt in place:
|
||||
sops -e --in-place secrets/my-thing.yaml
|
||||
# 3. Commit + push. The 5-min sync propagates to every recipient.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## How to consume a secret
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# On any client that's a recipient:
|
||||
homelab secret my-thing # prints plaintext
|
||||
# Or programmatically:
|
||||
sops -d /opt/homelab-context/secrets/my-thing.yaml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `mcp` tool `list_my_secrets(caller_pubkey)` returns the names of secrets
|
||||
the caller can decrypt. The MCP server never reads plaintext — decryption
|
||||
stays client-side.
|
||||
|
||||
## Granting / revoking access
|
||||
|
||||
To grant a new recipient: edit `../.sops.yaml` to add their age pubkey, then
|
||||
re-key every affected file:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sops updatekeys -y secrets/my-thing.yaml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To revoke: remove the recipient from `../.sops.yaml` and `sops updatekeys` —
|
||||
but remember this only protects future ciphertext. Past plaintext the client
|
||||
already decrypted is gone from your control. Rotate the underlying credential
|
||||
if compromise is suspected.
|
||||
|
||||
`homelab client remove <name>` does the recipient removal + `updatekeys` for
|
||||
you, and prints the rotation checklist as a follow-up.
|
||||
|
||||
## hello.yaml — bootstrap decrypt test
|
||||
|
||||
`secrets/hello.yaml` is encrypted to every enrolled client. Used by Phase 3a
|
||||
verification to confirm the end-to-end decrypt path works on a freshly-
|
||||
bootstrapped machine. Content is intentionally trivial:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
greeting: hello from the homelab
|
||||
```
