hetzner{05,06}

https://hetzner05.forgejo.org & https://hetzner06.forgejo.org run on EX44 Hetzner hardware.

They are dedicated to the long running K8S cluster files and documentation. It is also where some legacy machines that are no longer actively used are preserved, to be revived when/if they are needed. They are in the /precious/lxc directory. The root file system are archived in /precious/hetzner in case they contain something worth keeping.

LXC

Disk partitioning

• First disk
  • OS
  • a partition configured with DRBD for precious data mounted on /var/lib/lxc
• Second disk
  • non precious data such as the LXC containers with runners.

Public IP addresses

The public IP addresses attached to the hosts are not failover IPs that can be moved from one host to the next. The DNS entry needs to be updated if the primary hosts changes.

When additional IP addresses are attached to the server, they are added to /etc/network/interfaces like ipv4 65.21.67.71 and ipv6 2a01:4f9:3081:51ec::102 below.

auto enp5s0
iface enp5s0 inet static
  address 65.21.67.73
  netmask 255.255.255.192
  gateway 65.21.67.65
  # route 65.21.67.64/26 via 65.21.67.65
  up route add -net 65.21.67.64 netmask 255.255.255.192 gw 65.21.67.65 dev enp5s0
  # BEGIN code.forgejo.org
  up ip addr add 65.21.67.71/32 dev enp5s0
  up nft -f /home/debian/code.nftables
  down ip addr del 65.21.67.71/32 dev enp5s0
  # END code.forgejo.org

iface enp5s0 inet6 static
  address 2a01:4f9:3081:51ec::2
  netmask 64
  gateway fe80::1
  # BEGIN code.forgejo.org
  up ip -6 addr add 2a01:4f9:3081:51ec::102/64 dev enp5s0
  down ip -6 addr del 2a01:4f9:3081:51ec::102/64 dev enp5s0
  # END code.forgejo.org

For port forwarding to work, the LXC host must not bind them. For instance the ssh server configuration at /etc/ssh/sshd_config should not bind all IP but only a specific one.

Port 22
AddressFamily inet
ListenAddress 65.21.67.73
#ListenAddress ::

Port forwarding

Forwarding a port to an LXC container can be done with nginx streeam for the public IP of code.forgejo.org (65.21.67.71 & 2a01:4f9:3081:51ec::102) to the private IP (10.6.83.195) of the code LXC container in /etc/nginx/modules-enabled/ssh.conf:

stream {

  # code.forgejo.org ip's
  upstream codessh {
    least_conn;
    server 10.6.83.195:22;
  }

  # code.forgejo.org definition
  server {
    listen 65.21.67.71:22; # the port to listen on this server
    listen [2a01:4f9:3081:51ec::102]:22;
    proxy_pass codessh; # forward traffic to this upstream group
    proxy_timeout 3s;
    proxy_connect_timeout 3s;
  }
}
