# Beszel agent
[Beszel](https://github.com/henrygd/beszel) is the monitoring dashboard used
in this LAN. The hub runs as a Docker container on `docker.sweet.home` (port
`vars.ports.beszelHub`, 8090). Each monitored NixOS host runs a
`beszel-agent` that connects back to the hub.
---
## How it works
Everything is handled by a single module:
**`modules/beszel/enable-agent.nix`** — imported by a build type. It:
- Enables `beszel-agent`
- Sets `HUB_URL` to `docker.sweet.home:8090`
- Reads the universal `beszel-token` from `secrets/common.yaml` via sops and
passes it to the agent as `TOKEN` in an env file
- Fixes an upstream bug where the agent couldn't persist its hub-pairing
fingerprint across restarts (adds a real `StateDirectory`)
The only thing a host file ever needs to add is `KEY` — the hub's public key
for that agent slot, which comes from the beszel hub UI after first pairing.
---
## Adding beszel to a new build type
Add `../beszel/enable-agent.nix` to the `imports` list in
`modules/build-types/<type>.nix`:
```nix
imports = [
../beszel/enable-agent.nix
# ... other imports
];
```
That's the only build-type change required.
---
## Wiring the host file
No `imports` are needed in the host file. Just set `KEY` once you've paired
the agent with the hub:
```nix
services.beszel.agent.environment = {
KEY = "ssh-ed25519 AAAA...";
};
```
Leave `KEY` commented out until after the first pairing (see "Pairing with
the hub" below).
---
## One-time setup: add the token to `secrets/common.yaml`
The universal token is stored once in the common secrets file, shared by all
agents. You only need to do this once, not per-host:
```sh
sops secrets/common.yaml
```
Add:
```yaml
beszel-token: <token from the beszel hub UI>
```
The token is found in the beszel hub under **Settings → Keys** or in the
"Add system" flow.
`secrets/common.yaml` is already a sops recipient for every host via their
SSH host keys, so no additional sops recipient setup is needed for hosts that
are already provisioned.
---
## Optional: monitoring extra filesystems
To report disk usage for a mount beyond the root filesystem, add
`EXTRA_FILESYSTEMS` alongside `KEY` in the host file:
```nix
services.beszel.agent.environment = {
KEY = "ssh-ed25519 AAAA...";
EXTRA_FILESYSTEMS = "/mnt/data"; # colon-separated for multiple paths
};
```
The `server` host uses this to expose its ZFS data pool:
```nix
EXTRA_FILESYSTEMS = "${vars.storageRoot}/${vars.nfsShares.dockerVolumes.subpath}";
```
---
## Optional: monitoring Docker containers
`enable-agent.nix` has a commented-out line for Docker monitoring:
```nix
#DOCKER_HOST = "tcp://docker-socket-proxy:2375";
```
Uncomment it if the host runs docker-socket-proxy and you want per-container
stats. Hosts without Docker should leave it commented out.
---
## Pairing with the hub
1. Deploy the host with its build type importing `enable-agent.nix`. Leave
`KEY` unset (commented out) for now.
2. Open the beszel hub (`http://docker.sweet.home:8090`).
3. Go to **Systems → Add system**. The new host should appear as an unpaired
entry — copy the `KEY` value shown there.
4. In `hosts/<name>/host.nix`, set:
```nix
services.beszel.agent.environment.KEY = "<copied key>";
```
5. Rebuild and deploy the host. The agent will now pair permanently.
---
## Example: complete host file
Minimal case (`hosts/tor-relay/host.nix` — one filesystem, no Docker, LXC):
```nix
{ vars, ... }:
{
networking = { ... };
services.beszel.agent.environment = {
KEY = "ssh-ed25519 AAAA...";
};
system.stateVersion = "26.05";
}
```
Fuller case (`hosts/server/host.nix` — extra filesystem, debug logging):
```nix
services.beszel.agent.environment = {
KEY = "ssh-ed25519 AAAA...";
EXTRA_FILESYSTEMS = "${vars.storageRoot}/${vars.nfsShares.dockerVolumes.subpath}";
LOG_LEVEL = "debug";
};
```
