# 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.
|
||||
|
||||
This document explains how to wire beszel-agent into any build in the flake.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## How it is split across modules
|
||||
|
||||
There are two modules and they have separate jobs:
|
||||
|
||||
| Module | What it does | Where it goes |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `modules/beszel/enable-agent.nix` | Enables the systemd service, sets `HUB_URL`, fixes upstream StateDirectory bug | **Build type** (`modules/build-types/*.nix`) |
|
||||
| `modules/beszel/host-token.nix` | Declares the sops secret + env-file template that holds `TOKEN` | **Host file** (`hosts/<name>/host.nix`) |
|
||||
|
||||
`KEY` (the hub's public key for this agent slot) is a plain string set
|
||||
directly on the host under `services.beszel.agent.environment.KEY` — it comes
|
||||
from the hub UI, not from sops, so it belongs in the host file rather than a
|
||||
secret.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Adding beszel to a new build type
|
||||
|
||||
Open `modules/build-types/<type>.nix` and add `../beszel/enable-agent.nix` to
|
||||
the `imports` list:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
imports = [
|
||||
../beszel/enable-agent.nix
|
||||
# ... other imports
|
||||
];
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
That is the only change needed at the build-type level. The module sets:
|
||||
- `services.beszel.agent.enable = true`
|
||||
- `HUB_URL` pointing at `docker.sweet.home:8090`
|
||||
- a persistent `StateDirectory` for the hub-pairing fingerprint
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Wiring the host file
|
||||
|
||||
Every host whose build type includes `enable-agent.nix` needs two things in
|
||||
its `hosts/<name>/host.nix`:
|
||||
|
||||
### 1 — Import `host-token.nix`
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
imports = [
|
||||
(import ../../modules/beszel/host-token.nix {
|
||||
name = "<hostname>"; # must match the sops secret file name below
|
||||
sopsFile = ../../secrets/<hostname>.yaml;
|
||||
})
|
||||
];
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This creates a sops-managed env file at runtime containing `TOKEN=<value>` and
|
||||
passes it to the agent via `environmentFile`. The `name` argument also becomes
|
||||
the sops template name (`<name>-beszel.env`), so it must be unique per host.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2 — Set `KEY` once the hub has paired the agent
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
services.beszel.agent.environment = {
|
||||
KEY = "ssh-ed25519 AAAA...";
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`KEY` is the hub's SSH public key for this agent slot — copy it from the hub
|
||||
UI after the agent first connects (see "Pairing with the hub" below).
|
||||
|
||||
Until the hub has been paired, leave `KEY` commented out or omit it. The agent
|
||||
will still start and appear in the hub as an unpaired entry; fill in the key
|
||||
after that first connection.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Adding the sops secret
|
||||
|
||||
The `beszel-token` value in `secrets/<hostname>.yaml` is the token the agent
|
||||
uses to authenticate to the hub. To add it for a new host:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Decrypt and edit the host's secrets file:
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
sops secrets/<hostname>.yaml
|
||||
```
|
||||
2. Add the token:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
beszel-token: <token from the beszel hub UI>
|
||||
```
|
||||
3. Save and close — sops re-encrypts the file on exit.
|
||||
|
||||
If the host does not yet have a `secrets/<hostname>.yaml`, create one using
|
||||
the same sops recipients as the other secrets files (check `.sops.yaml`), or
|
||||
run `scripts/secrets/sync-host-keys.sh <target>` first so the host's own
|
||||
SSH key is already a valid recipient.
|
||||
|
||||
The token is found in the beszel hub under **Settings → Keys** or when you
|
||||
add a new system via the hub UI.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Optional: monitoring extra filesystems
|
||||
|
||||
To have the agent report disk usage for a mount point that is not the root
|
||||
filesystem, add `EXTRA_FILESYSTEMS` in the host file alongside `KEY`:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
services.beszel.agent.environment = {
|
||||
KEY = "ssh-ed25519 AAAA...";
|
||||
EXTRA_FILESYSTEMS = "/mnt/data"; # colon-separated if more than one
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `server` host uses this to expose the ZFS data pool:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
EXTRA_FILESYSTEMS = "${vars.storageRoot}/${vars.nfsShares.dockerVolumes.subpath}";
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Optional: monitoring Docker containers
|
||||
|
||||
The `enable-agent.nix` module 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 in the hub. Hosts that do not run Docker should leave this commented out.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Pairing with the hub
|
||||
|
||||
1. Deploy the host with `host-token.nix` imported and `enable-agent.nix`
|
||||
present in the build type. Leave `KEY` unset 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 with the
|
||||
hub.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Example: complete host file
|
||||
|
||||
For reference, `hosts/tor-relay/host.nix` is the minimal case — one
|
||||
filesystem, no Docker, LXC platform:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{ vars, ... }:
|
||||
{
|
||||
imports = [
|
||||
(import ../../modules/beszel/host-token.nix {
|
||||
name = "tor-relay";
|
||||
sopsFile = ../../secrets/tor-relay.yaml;
|
||||
})
|
||||
];
|
||||
|
||||
networking = { ... };
|
||||
|
||||
services.beszel.agent.environment = {
|
||||
KEY = "ssh-ed25519 AAAA...";
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
system.stateVersion = "26.05";
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`hosts/server/host.nix` is the fuller case — extra filesystem path, debug
|
||||
logging:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
services.beszel.agent.environment = {
|
||||
KEY = "ssh-ed25519 AAAA...";
|
||||
EXTRA_FILESYSTEMS = "${vars.storageRoot}/${vars.nfsShares.dockerVolumes.subpath}";
|
||||
LOG_LEVEL = "debug";
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
