beatzaplentyandClaude Sonnet 4.6 f85c65870f Initial infrastructure mono-repo scaffold
Consolidates nixos, docker, raspi, and debian-configuration into a single
infrastructure-as-code repo. Includes:

- ansible/: full inventory + proxmox-hardening, freeipa, and raspberrypi
  roles (converted from debian-configuration bash scripts)
- terraform/: Proxmox VMs, Dynu DNS, Pi-hole (decommissioned stub),
  Docker container catalog — migrated from docker/infrastructure/terraform/
- stacks/docker/, stacks/raspi/, nixos/: placeholder READMEs pending
  git subtree population (see implementation plan)
- docs/: internal MkDocs site with architecture, network topology, runbooks,
  and drift-detection guide; external sanitized site
- scripts/: drift-detect.sh, docs-build.sh, install-hooks.sh, check-secrets.sh
- CI: secret-scan (push/PR), drift-detect (daily), docs-build (on change)
- Pi-hole removed throughout — DNS is FreeIPA, DHCP is router

See docs/internal/implementation-plan.md for the phased rollout after
pushing to Gitea.

Authentication and DNS backbone

FreeIPA (SWEET.HOME realm) provides:

  • Kerberos SSO for all IPA-enrolled hosts
  • LDAP user/group directory (admins, docker-access groups)
  • Authoritative DNS for the entire LAN (Pi-hole decommissioned; FreeIPA is the sole resolver)
  • Certificate authority for internal TLS

All hosts (Proxmox nodes, Raspberry Pi, Docker host) are IPA-enrolled via SSSD. The admins group has passwordless sudo on all enrolled hosts. The docker-access group (GID 50010) grants Docker socket access on Docker hosts.

DHCP is handled by the router. PXE-specific DHCP options are served by the pxe-boot LXC.

Monitoring stack

Beszel agents (every host)
    └─→ Beszel hub (stacks/docker — beszel.lan.ddnsgeek.com)

Uptime Kuma (stacks/docker — monitor-kuma.lan.ddnsgeek.com)
    └─→ monitors all public endpoints

Gotify (stacks/docker)
    └─→ receives: WUD alerts, Docker health checks, drift detection notifications

WUD (stacks/docker)
    └─→ watches: local docker host + Raspberry Pi (via Tailscale)
