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:
```bash
# 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.
