Restructure docs: consolidate, recategorize, and extract
- Consolidate 4 Authentik Nix derivation docs into one card
  (authentik-nix-build-components.md)
- Merge build-grafana-container + build-grafana-sidecar into
  build-grafana-images.md
- Move agent-change-process from how-to/ to explanation/ (it's a
  methodology doc, not a task guide)
- Extract Caddy custom build section from reference card into
  how-to/deployment/build-caddy-with-plugins.md
- Move expose-service-publicly from how-to/ to tutorials/ (it's a
  comprehensive walkthrough, not a quick task reference)
- Update all wiki-link references across affected docs

Caddy

Reverse proxy for *.ops.eblu.me services with automatic TLS via ACME DNS-01.

Quick Reference

Property Value
Domain *.ops.eblu.me
HTTPS Port 443
Config ansible/roles/caddy/templates/Caddyfile.j2
Binary Custom build with Gandi DNS plugin

Why Caddy?

Caddy provides a single TLS termination point for all BlumeOps services:

  • Wildcard certificate for *.ops.eblu.me via Let's Encrypt
  • DNS-01 challenge using Gandi API (no port 80 needed)
  • Unified access from k8s pods, containers, and tailnet clients

See routing for when to use *.ops.eblu.me vs *.tail8d86e.ts.net.

Proxied Services

Indri-Local Services

Subdomain Backend Service
forge.ops.eblu.me localhost:3001 forgejo
registry.ops.eblu.me localhost:5050 zot
jellyfin.ops.eblu.me localhost:8096 jellyfin

Kubernetes Services

K8s services are proxied via their Tailscale Ingress endpoints:

Subdomain Backend Service
grafana.ops.eblu.me grafana.tail8d86e.ts.net grafana
argocd.ops.eblu.me argocd.tail8d86e.ts.net argocd
cv.ops.eblu.me cv.tail8d86e.ts.net cv
docs.ops.eblu.me docs.tail8d86e.ts.net docs (now publicly available at docs.eblu.me via flyio-proxy)
feed.ops.eblu.me feed.tail8d86e.ts.net miniflux
... ... (see defaults/main.yml for full list)

TCP Services (Layer 4)

Port Backend Service
2222 localhost:2200 Forgejo SSH
5432 pg.tail8d86e.ts.net:5432 postgresql

Configuration

Caddy is managed via the caddy Ansible role:

# Deploy caddy changes
mise run provision-indri -- --tags caddy

Key files:

  • ansible/roles/caddy/defaults/main.yml - Service definitions
  • ansible/roles/caddy/templates/Caddyfile.j2 - Caddy config template

Secrets

Secret Source Description
GANDI_BEARER_TOKEN 1Password API token for DNS-01 challenges

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 and autogroup:admin can reach Caddy. The flyio-proxy no longer routes through Caddy — it pushes logs and metrics directly to loki and prometheus via their Tailscale Ingress endpoints.

Custom Build

Custom xcaddy build with Gandi DNS and L4 plugins. See build-caddy-with-plugins for build instructions and forge mirror details.

  • gandi - DNS hosting and ACME DNS-01 provider
  • routing - Service routing architecture
  • forgejo - Git forge (proxied by Caddy)
  • zot - Container registry (proxied by Caddy)
  • tailscale-operator - K8s services use Tailscale Ingress, then Caddy
