From 80b0670ebe8562b8da31b6f18b4d87038bc64a14 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jochen Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2026 11:17:00 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 01/14] whole-mesh-full: the real segmented topology, and the overlay proven across the access point MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Rewrite the flat three-node whole-mesh-full (separate anchor, one public segment) into production's real shape: two segments and one access point. novox sits on the routable `hosting` segment and IS the anchor — it runs the substrate, its own service set, the overlay hub and public ingress; there is no separate anchor node. ace, shanks and g14 sit on the household `home` segment behind a NAT gateway, reachable from outside only through what they dial out to. The bed drives, and verifies, the thing the flat beds never could: the WireGuard overlay forming ACROSS the access point — a home node dialling novox's public hub endpoint out through the gateway's masquerade, the handshake completing through the NAT, the keepalive holding the hole open. Phase A proves it (handshake state + a ping over the overlay) before any heavy module lands; Phase B converges both server sets. With MESH_LAB_KEEP the instance is raised under a fixed id and left standing. Collapsing the substrate onto novox exposed real facts the separate-anchor beds never hit, fixed here: - the substrate bundle advertises the broker at 192.0.2.10 (the old anchor); a token carries that verbatim as the endpoint a node dials, so with the substrate on novox it must be novox's own public address. Rewritten at apply (the cert is fingerprint-pinned, not hostname-checked, so only the address needs correcting). - the two provider host-port collisions with the co-located substrate: postgres 5432 vs the store's 127.0.0.1:5432, lavinmq 5672 vs the broker's 127.0.0.1:5672. Both provider host publishes are remapped off the substrate's ports. And a lab limitation this first large-union bed exposed: the image registry VM took the profile's default `dir` pool and a ~10GiB root, which the ~28GiB union of both server sets overflows ("no space left on device"). raiseRegistry now places the registry on the scenario's copy-on-write pool with a sized (default 80GiB, thin) root disk, MESH_LAB_REGISTRY_DISK overridable.

The identical apply, run by hand once the registry was warm, succeeded immediately. `raiseRegistry` proves the wrong thing. It curls `localhost:5000` from inside the registry's OWN machine, which says the registry process is up and holds the blobs, and says nothing about the path anybody else uses: across a segment, and for the home nodes through a NAT gateway whose default route and firewall are applied two steps LATER. So "serving" was reported on evidence that excluded the network, and the caller — which pins every image in the substrate bundle to that registry — was handed a fact it could not rely on. So the check moves to where it means something. After the routes and the firewalls, before the minutes spent placing, each machine is asked for `/v2/` and for one stocked manifest BY DIGEST, at the address it will pin, over the network it will use. That is the pair of requests a pull begins with, from the same place. Layers are not fetched: every digest was already read back inside the registry machine, so what is in question here is the path, not the content. Verified by typecheck and the unit suite (136 pass), and by confirming against a standing four-node instance that `curl` exists in the machines and that both segments — including a home node through the gateway — answer 200 for the registry's `/v2/`. The ordering itself is unverified in a live raise from cold, which takes hours. --- src/lifecycle/raise.ts | 17 +++++++++- src/lifecycle/registry.ts | 66 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 82 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/lifecycle/raise.ts b/src/lifecycle/raise.ts index c26ead3..afe54e3 100644 --- a/src/lifecycle/raise.ts +++ b/src/lifecycle/raise.ts @@ -24,7 +24,7 @@ import { planRouters, raiseRouters, raiseTransit } from "./router.ts"; import { applyHostFirewalls } from "./firewall.ts"; import { IMAGE_PREFIX, BASE_IMAGE_ALIAS, BASE_IMAGE_HOWTO, planPlacements, applyPlacements } from "./place.ts"; import { baseImageExists, UPSTREAM_IMAGE } from "./base.ts"; -import { discardStock, raiseRegistry, stockRegistry } from "./registry.ts"; +import { confirmRegistryServes, discardStock, raiseRegistry, stockRegistry } from "./registry.ts"; import { log as record } from "../log.ts"; /** Drivers whose snapshots are copy-on-write.

Every routed module on this bed was therefore unreachable by name, silently, and no assertion noticed. novox now carries `novox.incus` and ace `zurag.incus` — `.incus`, because this repository's beds name nothing routable. The workstations carry none, which is also the design being exercised: a node that does not face outward has no public domain. **No acme-ca provider means no proxy.** route-proxy requires one, so without a provider it is unresolvable and takes every routed module with it. step-ca is assigned on the anchor, at mesh scope, and given an operator root — made with openssl on the anchor and handed over through the real `secret accept` path, because the mesh cannot invent a PEM and the random bytes it makes for an own-secret nobody supplied would leave the CA crash-looping on a root key that is not a key. **What is asserted is the half that is decided and cheap**: that each routed module's name composes to `
