dtoro f5cd320433 Bootstrap Homelab-Docs wiki
Initial documentation of the hubris Proxmox homelab as a cross-linked
markdown wiki. Per-node pages, cross-cutting infrastructure pages, an
investigation log, and an operations cheatsheet. Each node and topic
ends with a Changelog section so changes can be tracked in-place going
forward.

Refreshed against live state on 2026-04-28 — 14 active LXCs (109
syncthing currently stopped) + 1 VM (108 haos). Reflects post-A/B-test
state of the 2026-04-21 hubris crash-loop investigation.

121 — caddy

The reverse proxy. Terminates TLS for every *.hubris.network hostname on the LAN/mesh and forwards to the right backend.

At a glance

  • Hostname: caddy
  • IP: 192.168.8.175
  • Privilege: unprivileged
  • Resources: 1 core / 512 MiB RAM / 6 GiB rootfs
  • Mounts: none from /mnt/library
  • Config: /etc/caddy/Caddyfile is a git checkout of dtoro/caddy-conf
  • Cert source: Let's Encrypt DNS-01 via IONOS API (IONOS_AUTH_API_TOKEN).

Sites currently served (live as of 2026-04-28)

Reminder: Caddy alone isn't enough to make a new subdomain reachable on the LAN. Each one needs an entry in DNS split-horizon too.

Snippet: (authentik) forward-auth

A snippet at the top of the Caddyfile (used as import authentik in any site block) wires forward-auth to the embedded Authentik outpost. It points at http://192.168.8.180:9000 directly (NOT https://auth.hubris.network) to avoid Caddy-to-self round-tripping that strips X-Forwarded-Host. The forward-auth block must explicitly set header_up X-Forwarded-Host {host}. See Authentik.

For apps with mobile clients, /api/* (or equivalent) bypasses forward-auth — see the per-app gotchas in Authentik.

Caddy environment

Untracked secrets in /etc/caddy/caddy.env:

  • IONOS_AUTH_API_TOKEN — DNS-01 ACME
  • ARTIFACTO_GATEWAY_SECRET — must match SSO_GATEWAY_SECRET on apps (105). Rotate together.

Auto-deploy

Push to dtoro/caddy-conf master → gitea webhook → http://192.168.8.175:9797/deploycaddy-deploy-webhook.service validates HMAC against /etc/caddy-deploy/secret → runs /etc/caddy/scripts/deploy.sh:

  1. git pull
  2. caddy validate
  3. systemctl reload caddy

Gitea webhook id 2 on dtoro/caddy-conf. Receiver, deploy script, install scripts, systemd unit all live in the repo under scripts/. The unit has ReadWritePaths=/etc/caddy — load-bearing (ProtectSystem=full would otherwise block git pull). Git credentials for the root-run service are at /etc/caddy-deploy/git-credentials (mode 600).

Systemd unit changes inside the repo do NOT auto-reinstall — you have to re-run scripts/webhook/install.sh manually after editing the unit.

Changelog

2026-04-28 — wiki entry created

Initial documentation. 16 active sites at this date.

2026-04-22 — Artifacto + Authentik gateway-secret pattern wired

Caddy site artifacto.hubris.network: forward-auth on admin paths, header_up X-Artifacto-Gateway {env.ARTIFACTO_GATEWAY_SECRET}, public matchers /p/*, /static/*, /healthz. caddy.env extended with the gateway secret.

2026-04-21 — (authentik) snippet added

Top-of-file snippet used by every gated site. Targets http://192.168.8.180:9000 directly to dodge hairpin TLS round-trip.

2026-04-21 — three new sites added (jellyseerr, qbit, sab → 192.168.8.132)

For the arriman (122) docker stack. Caddy + certs work; needed corresponding DNS split-horizon entries to be added to land cleanly.

2026-04-20 — auto-deploy pipeline shipped

Repo dtoro/caddy-conf. Webhook receiver at :9797, validate + reload on push to master.
