Adminstrative access

People with admin access to the infrastructure are added to logins/admins.nix. This is a attrset with the following structure:

{
    <username> = {
        sshPubKeys = {
            <name> = <pubkey-string>;
        };

        wireguardDevices = [
            {
                publicKey = <pubkey-string>;
                allowedIPs = [ "10.7.6.<ip-address>/32" "fd00:fae:fae:fae:fae:<ip-address>::/96" ];
            }
        ];

        secretEncryptionKeys = {
            <name> = <encryption-key-string>;
        };
    };
}

SSH Access

SSH is not reachable from the open internet. Instead, SSH Port 22 is protected by a wireguard VPN network. Thus, to get root access on the servers, at least two pieces of information have to be added to the admins config:

1. SSH Public key: self-explanatory. Add your public key to your user attrset under sshPubKeys.
2. Wireguard device: each wireguard device has two parts: the public key and the IP addresses it should have in the wireguard network. The pub.solar wireguard network is spaced under 10.7.6.0/24 and fd00:fae:fae:fae:fae::/80. To add your device, it's best to choose a free number between 200 and 255 and use that in both the ipv4 and ipv6 ranges: 10.7.6.<ip-address>/32 fd00:fae:fae:fae:fae:<ip-address>::/96. For more information on how to generate keypairs, see the NixOS Wireguard docs.

One can access our hosts using this domain scheme:

ssh barkeeper@<hostname>.wg.pub.solar

So, for example for nachtigall:

ssh barkeeper@nachtigall.wg.pub.solar

Secret encryption

Deployment secrets are added to the repository in encrypted files. To be able to work with these encrypted files, your public key(s) will have to be added to your user attrset under secretEncryptionKeys.

See also the docs on working with secrets.
