# AGENTS.md - server-config (NixOS server "muffin") ## Overview NixOS flake-based server configuration for host **muffin** (deployed to `root@server-public`). Uses deploy-rs for remote deployment, disko for disk management, impermanence (tmpfs root), agenix for secrets, lanzaboote for secure boot, and ZFS for data storage. ## Target Hardware - **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X (6C/12T, Zen 3 / `znver3`) - **RAM**: 64 GB DDR4, no swap - **Motherboard**: ASRock B550M Pro4 - **Boot drive**: WD_BLACK SN770 1TB NVMe (f2fs: 20G /persistent, 911G /nix; root is tmpfs) - **SSD pool `tank`**: 4x 2TB SATA SSDs (raidz2, 7.27T raw, ~2.2T free) -- services, backups, music - **HDD pool `hdds`**: 4x 18TB Seagate Exos X18 (raidz1, 65.5T raw, ~17.9T free) -- torrents, monero - **USB**: 8GB VFAT drive mounted at /mnt/usb-secrets (agenix identity key) - **GPU**: Intel (integrated, xe driver) -- used for Jellyfin hardware transcoding - **NIC**: enp4s0 (static 192.168.1.50/24) ## Build / Deploy / Test Commands ```bash # Format code (nixfmt-tree) nix fmt # Build the system configuration (check for eval errors) nix build .#nixosConfigurations.muffin.config.system.build.toplevel -L # Deploy to server nix run .#deploy -- .#muffin # Run ALL tests (NixOS VM tests, takes a long time) nix build .#packages.x86_64-linux.tests -L # Run a SINGLE test by name (preferred during development) nix build .#test-zfsTest -L nix build .#test-testTest -L nix build .#test-fail2banSshTest -L nix build .#test-ntfyAlertsTest -L nix build .#test-filePermsTest -L # Pattern: nix build .#test- -L # Test names are defined in tests/tests.nix (keys of the returned attrset) # Check flake outputs (list what's available) nix flake show # Evaluate without building (fast syntax/eval check) nix eval .#nixosConfigurations.muffin.config.system.build.toplevel --no-build 2>&1 | head -5 ``` ## Code Style ### Nix Formatting - **Formatter**: `nixfmt-tree` (declared in flake.nix). Always run `nix fmt` before committing. - **Indentation**: 2 spaces (enforced by nixfmt-tree). ### Module Pattern Every `.nix` file is a function taking an attrset with named args and `...`: ```nix { config, lib, pkgs, service_configs, ... }: { # module body } ``` - Function args on separate lines, one per line, with trailing comma. - Opening brace on its own line for multi-line arg lists. - Use `service_configs` (from `service-configs.nix`) for all ports, paths, domains -- never hardcode. ### Service File Convention Each service file in `services/` follows this structure: 1. `imports` block with `lib.serviceMountWithZpool` and optionally `lib.serviceFilePerms` 2. Service configuration (`services. = { ... }`) 3. Caddy reverse proxy vhost (`services.caddy.virtualHosts."subdomain.${service_configs.https.domain}"`) 4. Firewall rules if needed (`networking.firewall.allowed{TCP,UDP}Ports`) 5. fail2ban jail if the service has authentication (`services.fail2ban.jails.`) ### Custom Lib Functions (modules/lib.nix) - `lib.serviceMountWithZpool serviceName zpoolName [dirs]` -- ensures ZFS datasets are mounted before service starts, validates pool membership - `lib.serviceFilePerms serviceName [tmpfilesRules]` -- sets file permissions via systemd-tmpfiles before service starts - `lib.optimizePackage pkg` -- applies `-O3 -march=znver3 -mtune=znver3` compiler flags - `lib.vpnNamespaceOpenPort port serviceName` -- confines service to WireGuard VPN namespace ### Naming Conventions - **Files**: lowercase with hyphens (`jellyfin-qbittorrent-monitor.nix`) - **Test names**: camelCase with `Test` suffix in `tests/tests.nix` (`fail2banSshTest`, `zfsTest`) - **Ports**: all declared in `service-configs.nix` under `ports.*`, referenced as `service_configs.ports.` - **ZFS datasets**: `tank/services/` for SSD-backed, `hdds/services/` for HDD-backed - **Commit messages**: terse, lowercase; prefix with service/module name when scoped (`caddy: add redirect`, `zfs: remove unneeded options`). Generic changes use `update` or short description. ### Secrets - **git-crypt**: `secrets/` directory and `usb-secrets/usb-secrets-key*` are encrypted (see `.gitattributes`) - **agenix**: secrets declared in `modules/age-secrets.nix`, decrypted at runtime to `/run/agenix/` - **Identity**: USB drive at `/mnt/usb-secrets/usb-secrets-key` - Never read or commit plaintext secrets. Never log secret values. ### Important Patterns - **Impermanence**: Root `/` is tmpfs. Only `/persistent`, `/nix`, and ZFS mounts survive reboots. Any new persistent state must be declared in `modules/impermanence.nix`. - **Port uniqueness**: `flake.nix` has an assertion that all ports in `service_configs.ports` are unique. Always add new ports there. - **Hugepages**: Services needing large pages declare their budget in `service-configs.nix` under `hugepages_2m.services`. The kernel sysctl is set automatically from the total. - **Domain**: Primary domain is `sigkill.computer`. Old domain `gardling.com` redirects automatically. - **Hardened kernel**: Uses `linuxPackages_6_12_hardened`. Security-sensitive defaults apply. ### Test Pattern Tests use `pkgs.testers.runNixOSTest` (NixOS VM tests): ```nix { config, lib, pkgs, ... }: pkgs.testers.runNixOSTest { name = "descriptive-test-name"; nodes.machine = { pkgs, ... }: { imports = [ /* modules under test */ ]; # VM config }; testScript = '' start_all() machine.wait_for_unit("multi-user.target") # Python test script using machine.succeed/machine.fail ''; } ``` - Register new tests in `tests/tests.nix` with `handleTest ./filename.nix` - Tests needing the overlay should use `pkgs.appendOverlays [ (import ../modules/overlays.nix) ]` - Test scripts are Python; use `machine.succeed(...)`, `machine.fail(...)`, `assert`, `subtest` ## SSH Access ```bash ssh root@server-public # deploy user ssh primary@server-public # normal user (doas instead of sudo) ```
