variables.nix's nixCacheHostKey no longer matched nix-cache's actual SSH
host key (confirmed via ssh-keyscan against the live container), so every
declaratively-configured client's programs.ssh.knownHosts trusted the
wrong key -- distributed builds would fail host-key verification. Also,
modules/nix-cache/remote-builder-client.nix hardcoded sshKey to
/root/.ssh/nixremote, but the `server` host only has its own default
/root/.ssh/id_ed25519 installed (confirmed live via qm guest-agent) --
that file was never even present, so the build machine config pointed at
nothing. Standardize on each client's own default identity, matching the
per-host-key pattern vars.remoteBuilderAuthorizedKeys already uses instead
of a shared/differently-named keypair, and add
scripts/secrets/sync-nix-cache-host-key.sh (wired into
codex-maintenance.sh's --check) so the host-key drift doesn't silently
recur next time nix-cache is rebuilt or recreated.

Following the existing per-client-key pattern in
vars.remoteBuilderAuthorizedKeys (one entry per host's own default root
key, not a shared dedicated keypair -- docs/nix-cache.md's "./nixremote"
filename is just a generic placeholder in the instructions). This box
had no entry yet, which is why its earlier `ssh-copy-id nixremote@nix-cache`
never stuck: nix-cache's nixremote authorized_keys is NixOS-declarative
and gets overwritten on every rebuild.
Public key only; requires a nix-cache rebuild to take effect.

New tor-relay build type (currently lxc-only) running a plain Tor
middle relay via modules/tor/enable-relay.nix, plus nyx for
interactive monitoring over the relay's control socket.

variables.nix's deployedTargets was a manually-maintained list with no
enforcement keeping it in sync with reality -- it caused two separate
false refusals in a row (naming a VM as deployed well after it had been
destroyed, then matching a target against itself once the list was
"corrected"). Static files can't track whether a resource still actually
exists.
create-proxmox-resource.sh's duplicate-host guard now queries the
Proxmox node directly (qm/pct's own name/hostname config, matched
against --host) instead. Also fixes a gap in that live check: it
originally swallowed ssh failures and would have silently treated "can't
reach the node" the same as "checked, nothing there" -- it now refuses
instead of guessing when the node can't be reached.
deployedTargets is removed entirely from variables.nix since nothing
else in the repo consumed it once this script no longer does; README.md's
Hosts table remains the sole source of truth for "(real, deployed)"
status. CLAUDE.md and the script's own --help/comments updated to match.

The old proxmox-nix-cache VM was destroyed and nix-cache is being
redeployed as an LXC container going forward. Without this update,
create-proxmox-resource.sh's duplicate-host check (which only reads this
static list, not live Proxmox state) kept refusing to create
lxc-nix-cache even though nothing named nix-cache actually exists on the
node anymore.

Distributed builds failed with "Host key verification failed" on any
client that had never manually SSH'd to nix-cache before, since
nothing populated root's known_hosts for it. Wire nix-cache's host
public key into programs.ssh.knownHosts via a new vars.nixCacheHostKey
so every client picks it up automatically on rebuild.

sync-host-keys.sh: generates/registers SSH host keys and their
.sops.yaml/secrets/*.yaml recipients for flake targets, idempotently.
--all, <target>, --remove, --regenerate-all-keys, all with --dry-run
(verified zero-side-effect via a sandboxed git-status check across every
mode). Only ever touches anchors with a corresponding host-keys/ file --
&admin and any hand-registered real-host anchor are never listed,
removed, or regenerated. Supersedes running prepare-host-key.sh one host
at a time for any target that already has a flake entry.
create-proxmox-resource.sh: builds a lxc-*/proxmox-* target's
tarball/disk image and creates it on a real Proxmox node, or reconfigures
an existing resource's cores/memory/disk (--modify, always requires
typing the VMID back to confirm). Refuses to create a new resource for a
VMID that already exists, and refuses to duplicate a host identity that
already has a real deployment elsewhere (variables.nix's new
deployedTargets, checked by hostName so it also catches cross-platform
duplicates) unless --allow-duplicate-host is passed. --dry-run throughout.
scripts/env.sh centralizes the Proxmox connection config both scripts
(and future ones) share. Also fixes an unrelated gap found along the way:
proxmox-* Disko image builds write their .raw file straight into the
repo root, and .gitignore never covered it.

Adds nested vars.nfsShares (subpath + mountpoint per dataset, previously
duplicated independently across server.nix's NFS exports, mount-data.nix's
client mounts, docker.nix's tmpfiles rules, traefik's log rotation path,
and hosts/server/host.nix's beszel config), vars.ports (every literal port
in modules/ and hosts/, kept as separate entries per service even where
numbers coincide so changing one can't silently change another), plus
vars.proxmoxImageSize, vars.nixCacheGcMaxAge, vars.traefikLogRotate, and
raspberryPiHost/raspiNfsPath/raspiMountpoint for the Pi's own NFS export.
Also fixes docker.nix/minimal.nix/gui.nix hardcoding the literal "nixos"
username instead of the existing vars.primaryUser, found during the sweep.
system.stateVersion is deliberately left untouched everywhere -- per
NixOS's own docs that value must stay fixed from first install, not
follow any shared variable.

Adds debian@surface's existing SSH key (already used as its admin
key elsewhere in this repo) to vars.remoteBuilderAuthorizedKeys so
nix-cache will accept it as a distributed-build client once deployed.

Folds the separate nix-auto-installer repo's build outputs into this
flake so it can build every auto-installer artifact it used to,
negating the need for that repo:
- modules/installer/{common,iso,proxmox-lxc}.nix — migrated from
nix-auto-installer's common.nix/installer.nix/proxmox-lxc.nix.
- flake.nix gains nixosConfigurations.{installer,proxmox-lxc} and
packages.x86_64-linux.{iso,lxc,pxe,all}, matching the original
repo's interface (nix build .#iso / .#lxc / .#pxe / .#all).
- Dropped the live Gitea PAT baked into every installer image via
environment.etc."git-credentials" — gitea.lan.ddnsgeek.com/beatzaplenty/nixos.git
allows anonymous read, so the installer (which only ever reads the
flake, never pushes) doesn't need a credential at all.
- installer_old.nix wasn't migrated — dead code, unreferenced by the
source repo's flake.nix, and carried a second stale leaked token.
- The installer environment's own hardcoded login password hash is
preserved as-is: sops-nix has no stable per-boot host key to derive
an age key from on ephemeral installer media, so it can't reuse the
same per-host secret mechanism the rest of this repo uses without
separate design work.
- vars.adminSshKey / vars.dockerHost-style dedup: the installer's SSH
authorized key and its FLAKE_BASE_URL domain were exact duplicates
of values already in variables.nix / modules/common/configuration.nix,
so both now reference the single source of truth instead.
Verified eval-equivalent for every existing host (drvPath-identical)
and confirmed the migrated auto-install.sh script renders byte-for-byte
identical to the source repo's output.

Pulls the beszel hub / PVE / PBS ports, the docker-compose host's LAN
name, and the remote-builder client SSH keys out of scattered inline
literals across modules/hosts and into variables.nix as the single
source of truth, matching the existing pattern for other cross-host
references (nixCacheHost, nfsServerHost).

linode-minimal, proxmox-minimal, and lxc-minimal now all share
hosts/nix-minimal/host.nix instead of three separate per-platform
host files with different hostnames — every minimal-buildtype host is
named nix-minimal regardless of which platform it runs on.

One file (variables.nix) holding every value that was previously
hardcoded and repeated across modules: LAN domain/CIDR, home/tailnet
domains, cross-host references (nix-cache substituter hostname, NFS
server hostname, remote-builder user), PXE/PBS IPs, timezone, and the
primary username.
Wired in via flake.nix's specialArgs (and home-manager's
extraSpecialArgs for the two home.nix files), so any module picks it
up by just adding `vars` to its function arguments — no explicit
import needed. Two hosts (nix-cache, server) now derive their own
networking.hostName from the same variable other hosts use to reach
them, so there's exactly one place to change either identifier.
Purely mechanical: every substituted value matches what was already
there, confirmed by identical toplevel .drv paths for all 17 targets
before and after.
