# Infrastructure Reference — mew Server (155.94.170.136)

This document describes every infrastructure component on the mew server relevant to deploying Docker Compose applications behind Caddy with automated Gitea-triggered deployments.

---

## 1. Deploy Listener

### Overview

A Python webhook listener that receives push events from Gitea/Forgejo and automatically deploys the corresponding Docker Compose stack.

### Filesystem Locations

| Item | Path |
|------|------|
| Script | `/usr/local/bin/deploy-listener.py` |
| Systemd unit | `deploy-listener.service` |
| Deploy map | `/etc/deploy-listener/deploy-map.json` |
| Environment file | `/etc/deploy-listener/deploy-listener.env` |
| Service user home | `/var/lib/deploy` |

### Service User

- **User**: `deploy`
- **Groups**: `docker`, `git`
- **Home directory**: `/var/lib/deploy`

The `deploy` user has Docker socket access through the `docker` group and repository access through the `git` group.

### Network Binding

- **Port**: 50500
- **Bind address**: 0.0.0.0
- **Firewall**: UFW blocks external access to port 50500. Only Docker's internal 10.0.0.0/8 range is allowed. Caddy reaches the listener at `10.0.12.1:50500` (the proxy network gateway).

### Deploy Map

Location: `/etc/deploy-listener/deploy-map.json`

Format — a JSON object mapping `owner/repo` to the absolute path of the compose directory:

```json
{
  "darren/compose-bookstack": "/srv/git/compose-bookstack",
  "darren/compose-linkstack": "/srv/git/compose-linkstack",
  "darren/my-app": "/srv/git/my-app"
}
```

Add a new entry to this file for every application that should be auto-deployed on push.

### Environment File

Location: `/etc/deploy-listener/deploy-listener.env`

```env
WEBHOOK_SECRET=<the-shared-secret>
LISTEN_PORT=50500
```

The `WEBHOOK_SECRET` value must match the secret configured in each Gitea/Forgejo webhook.

### Request Validation & Behavior

1. **HMAC-SHA256 validation**: The listener reads the `X-Gitea-Signature` or `X-Forgejo-Signature` header and validates the request body against the `WEBHOOK_SECRET` using HMAC-SHA256. Requests that fail validation are rejected.
2. **Branch filter**: Only pushes to `main` or `master` (checked via the `ref` field) trigger a deploy. All other branches are ignored.
3. **Deploy map lookup**: The `repository.full_name` field (e.g., `darren/my-app`) is looked up in the deploy map. If not found, the request is ignored.
4. **Deploy sequence**: On a valid push, the listener executes:
   ```bash
   cd /srv/git/my-app
   git pull
   docker compose pull
   docker compose up -d
   ```
5. **Concurrency control**: A file lock prevents concurrent deploys. If a deploy is already running, the incoming request is queued or rejected.

### Health Check

Verify the listener is running:

```bash
curl https://deploy.lavender.spl.tech/health
```

A successful response confirms the listener is reachable through Caddy and functioning.

### Systemd Management

```bash
# Check status
sudo systemctl status deploy-listener

# Restart
sudo systemctl restart deploy-listener

# View logs
sudo journalctl -u deploy-listener -f
```

## 2. Caddy Reverse Proxy

### Overview

Caddy serves as the TLS-terminating reverse proxy for all applications on mew. It automatically provisions and renews certificates via Let's Encrypt.

### Filesystem Locations

| Item | Path |
|------|------|
| Caddyfile | `/data/docker/caddy/Caddyfile` |
| Compose file | `/data/docker/caddy/docker-compose.yaml` |
| Container name | `caddy` |
| Image | `caddy:2-alpine` |

### Network

- **Network name**: `proxy`
- **Type**: external Docker network
- **Subnet**: 10.0.12.0/24
- **Gateway**: 10.0.12.1
- All application containers MUST join the `proxy` network for Caddy to reach them by container name.

### TLS

- **Method**: Automatic via Let's Encrypt
- **Email**: `postmaster@lavender-daydream.com`
- No manual certificate management required. Caddy handles provisioning, renewal, and OCSP stapling automatically.

### Deploy Endpoint

The deploy listener is exposed externally through Caddy:

```
deploy.lavender.spl.tech → 10.0.12.1:50500
```

This routes through the proxy network gateway to the host-bound deploy listener.

### Reloading the Caddyfile

**Standard reload** (when Caddyfile content changed but inode is the same):

```bash
docker exec caddy caddy reload --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile
```

**Full restart** (required when the Caddyfile inode changed, e.g., after replacing the file rather than editing in-place):

```bash
cd /data/docker/caddy && docker compose restart caddy
```

Always check whether the file was edited in-place or replaced. If replaced, you MUST restart rather than reload.

### Site Block Format

Follow this exact format when adding new site blocks to the Caddyfile:

```
# === App Name ===
domain.example.com {
    encode zstd gzip
    reverse_proxy container_name:port
}
```

- Place the comment header (`# === App Name ===`) above each block for readability.
- Always include `encode zstd gzip` for compression.
- Use the container name (not IP) in the `reverse_proxy` directive — Caddy resolves container names on the proxy network.

## 3. Gitea API

### Connection Details

| Item | Value |
|------|-------|
| Internal URL (from mew host) | `http://10.0.12.5:3000` |
| External URL | `https://git.lavender-daydream.com` |
| API base path | `/api/v1` |
| Token location | `~/.claude/secrets/gitea.json` |

### Authentication

Include the token as a header on every API request:

```
Authorization: token {GITEA_TOKEN}
```

### Key Endpoints

#### Check if a repo exists

```
GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}
```

- **200**: Repo exists (response includes repo details).
- **404**: Repo does not exist.

#### Create a new repo

```
POST /api/v1/user/repos
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "name": "my-app",
  "private": false,
  "auto_init": false
}
```

Set `auto_init` to `false` when pushing an existing local repo. Set to `true` if you want Gitea to create an initial commit.

#### Add a webhook

```
POST /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/hooks
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "type": "gitea",
  "active": true,
  "branch_filter": "main master",
  "config": {
    "url": "https://deploy.lavender.spl.tech/webhook",
    "content_type": "json",
    "secret": "<WEBHOOK_SECRET>"
  },
  "events": ["push"]
}
```

The `secret` in the webhook config MUST match the `WEBHOOK_SECRET` in `/etc/deploy-listener/deploy-listener.env`.

#### List repos

```
GET /api/v1/repos/search?limit=50
```

Returns up to 50 repositories. Use `page` parameter for pagination.

## 4. Forgejo API

### Connection Details

| Item | Value |
|------|-------|
| Container name | `forgejo` |
| Internal port | 3000 |
| External URL | `https://forgejo.lavender-daydream.com` |
| SSH port | 2223 |

### API Compatibility

Forgejo is a fork of Gitea. The API format, endpoints, authentication, and request/response structures are identical to those documented in the Gitea section above. Use the same patterns — just substitute the Forgejo base URL.

### SSH Access

```bash
git remote add forgejo ssh://git@forgejo.lavender-daydream.com:2223/owner/repo.git
```

---

## 5. Cloudflare DNS

### Token & Zone Configuration

Location: `~/.claude/secrets/cloudflare.json`

Format:

```json
{
  "CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token-here",
  "zones": {
    "lavender-daydream.com": "zone_id_for_lavender_daydream",
    "spl.tech": "zone_id_for_spl_tech"
  }
}
```

### Authentication

Include the token as a Bearer header:

```
Authorization: Bearer {CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN}
```

### Create an A Record

```
POST https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/{zone_id}/dns_records
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "type": "A",
  "name": "{subdomain}",
  "content": "155.94.170.136",
  "ttl": 1,
  "proxied": false
}
```

- **`name`**: The subdomain portion (e.g., `myapp` for `myapp.lavender-daydream.com`, or the full FQDN).
- **`content`**: Always `155.94.170.136` (mew's public IP).
- **`ttl`**: `1` means automatic TTL.
- **`proxied`**: Set to `false` so Caddy handles TLS directly. Setting to `true` would route through Cloudflare's proxy and interfere with Let's Encrypt.

### Choosing the Zone

Pick the zone based on the desired domain suffix:

- `*.lavender-daydream.com` → use the `lavender-daydream.com` zone ID
- `*.spl.tech` → use the `spl.tech` zone ID

## 6. Docker Networking

### The `proxy` Network

| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| Name | `proxy` |
| Subnet | 10.0.12.0/24 |
| Gateway | 10.0.12.1 |
| Type | External (created once, referenced by all stacks) |

### Requirements

- **Every application container** that Caddy must reach MUST join the `proxy` network.
- Caddy resolves container names to IPs on this network — use container names (not IPs) in `reverse_proxy` directives.
- The network is created externally (not by any single compose file). If it does not exist, create it:

```bash
docker network create --subnet=10.0.12.0/24 --gateway=10.0.12.1 proxy
```

### Compose Configuration

Every compose file that needs Caddy access must include:

```yaml
networks:
  proxy:
    name: proxy
    external: true
```

And each service that Caddy proxies to must list `proxy` in its `networks` key:

```yaml
services:
  app:
    # ...
    networks:
      - proxy
```

If the stack also has internal-only services (e.g., a database), create an additional internal network:

```yaml
networks:
  proxy:
    name: proxy
    external: true
  internal:
    driver: bridge
```

## 7. Compose Stack Locations

### Core Infrastructure Stacks

Location: `/data/docker/`

These are foundational services that support the entire server:

| Directory | Service |
|-----------|---------|
| `/data/docker/caddy/` | Caddy reverse proxy |
| `/data/docker/gitea/` | Gitea git forge |
| `/data/docker/forgejo/` | Forgejo git forge |
| `/data/docker/email/` | Email services |
| `/data/docker/website/` | Main website |
| `/data/docker/linkstack-berlyn/` | Berlyn's linkstack |

### Application Stacks

Location: `/srv/git/`

These are deployed applications managed by the deploy listener:

| Directory | Application |
|-----------|-------------|
| `/srv/git/compose-bookstack/` | BookStack wiki |
| `/srv/git/compose-linkstack/` | LinkStack |
| `/srv/git/compose-portainer/` | Portainer |
| `/srv/git/compose-wishthis/` | WishThis |
| `/srv/git/compose-anythingllm/` | AnythingLLM |

### Ownership & Permissions

- **Owner**: `root:git`
- **Permissions**: `2775` (setgid)
- The setgid bit ensures new files and directories inherit the `git` group, so both `root` and members of the `git` group (including `deploy` and `darren`) can read/write.

### Standard Stack Contents

Each compose stack directory should contain:

| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `docker-compose.yaml` | Service definitions |
| `.env` | Environment variables (secrets, config) |
| `Makefile` | Convenience targets (`make up`, `make down`, `make logs`) |
| `README.md` | Stack documentation |
