Add Fly.io proxy observability via embedded Alloy (#123)
All checks were successful
Deploy Fly.io Proxy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m16s

## Summary

- Embed Grafana Alloy in the Fly.io proxy container to collect nginx JSON access logs (→ Loki) and derive request rate, latency histogram, cache status, and bandwidth metrics (→ Prometheus)
- Add nginx `stub_status` endpoint for connection-level metrics (active/reading/writing/waiting)
- Create two Grafana dashboards: **Docs APM** (per-service view filtered by `host="docs.eblu.me"`) and **Fly.io Proxy Health** (aggregate proxy health across all upstream services)

## Changed Files

| File | Change |
|------|--------|
| `fly/nginx.conf` | Add JSON `log_format` + `access_log`, add `stub_status` endpoint |
| `fly/Dockerfile` | COPY Alloy binary from `grafana/alloy:v1.5.1`, COPY `alloy.river` config |
| `fly/alloy.river` | **New** — Alloy config: log tailing, metric extraction, remote_write |
| `fly/start.sh` | Start Alloy after Tailscale, before nginx |
| `argocd/manifests/grafana-config/dashboards/configmap-docs-apm.yaml` | **New** — Docs APM dashboard |
| `argocd/manifests/grafana-config/dashboards/configmap-flyio.yaml` | **New** — Fly.io Proxy Health dashboard |
| `argocd/manifests/grafana-config/kustomization.yaml` | Register new dashboard configmaps |
| `docs/reference/services/flyio-proxy.md` | Document observability setup |

## Deployment and Testing

- [ ] `mise run fly-deploy` — rebuild container with Alloy
- [ ] `curl https://docs.eblu.me/` — generate traffic
- [ ] `fly logs -a blumeops-proxy` — verify Alloy startup
- [ ] Query Prometheus: `flyio_nginx_http_requests_total{instance="flyio-proxy"}`
- [ ] Query Loki: `{instance="flyio-proxy", job="flyio-nginx"}`
- [ ] `argocd app sync grafana-config` — deploy dashboards
- [ ] Verify dashboards show data in Grafana
- [ ] `mise run services-check` — no regressions

## Why Built from Source
The Homebrew bottle uses `CGO_ENABLED=0`, which breaks Tailscale MagicDNS. Building with `CGO_ENABLED=1` uses the macOS native resolver.

The token is written to `~/.config/caddy/gandi-token` (chmod 0600) and sourced by the Caddy wrapper script.
## Security Considerations
Caddy has no authentication layer — it is a plain reverse proxy. Access control relies entirely on Tailscale ACLs restricting which devices can reach indri on port 443. Currently `tag:homelab`, `autogroup:admin`, and `tag:flyio-proxy` can reach Caddy. The [[flyio-proxy]] grant exists so Alloy can push metrics/logs to Loki and Prometheus, but it means the Fly.io container can technically reach all Caddy-proxied services. See [[flyio-proxy#Security Considerations]] for the threat model.
## Custom Build
Caddy is built from source with the Gandi DNS plugin:

The Tailscale auth key is `preauthorized=True` to avoid device approval hangs on container restarts.
## Observability
[[alloy|Alloy]] runs inside the container alongside nginx and Tailscale, providing:
- **Logs**: nginx JSON access logs tailed and pushed to [[loki|Loki]] (`{instance="flyio-proxy", job="flyio-nginx"}`)
- **Metrics**: Derived from access logs, pushed to [[prometheus|Prometheus]] via `remote_write`
- `flyio_nginx_http_requests_total` — request rate by status/method/host
- `flyio_nginx_http_request_duration_seconds` — latency histogram
- `flyio_nginx_http_response_bytes_total` — response bandwidth
- `flyio_nginx_cache_requests_total` — cache HIT/MISS/EXPIRED counts
### Dashboards
| Dashboard | Purpose |
|-----------|---------|
| **Docs APM** | Per-service view for `docs.eblu.me`: request rate, latency percentiles, cache hit ratio, error rate, bandwidth, access logs |
| **Fly.io Proxy Health** | Aggregate proxy health: connections, total request rate by host, cache performance, upstream latency, Alloy health |
Alloy listens on `127.0.0.1:12345` for self-scraping its `/metrics` endpoint. All metrics carry `instance="flyio-proxy"`.
## Security Considerations
The `tag:flyio-proxy` ACL grants access to both `tag:k8s:443` (for proxying public services) and `tag:homelab:443` (for pushing metrics/logs to [[caddy|Caddy]]-proxied Loki and Prometheus). This means a compromised nginx config could route traffic to **any** Caddy-proxied service — not just the intended backends. Some of those services (Loki, Prometheus) have no auth; others ([[forgejo]], [[navidrome]], [[immich]]) do.
Exploitation requires either pushing a malicious image to Fly.io or modifying the nginx config — both of which require RCE on [[gilbert]] (where `fly` is authenticated) or access to [[1password]] (the deploy token). This is an acceptable boundary given that 1Password is already the trust root for the entire infrastructure.
If this surface area becomes a concern, an alternative would be to add dedicated Tailscale Ingress tags for Loki/Prometheus write endpoints and restrict `tag:flyio-proxy` to only those.
