This Git-repo describes the setup of some our services. For more details, see https://foreningenbs.no/confluence/display/FBS/IT-gruppa

The intention of these principles is to keep a simple and easily maintained setup with few components. We might consider moving to something more complex later (such as Kubernetes) if we need more HA capabilities or a platform to control services deployment.

• Terraform is used to provision VMs in NREC. Only the minimal instance setup is done in Terraform / cloud-init, as any change to this will recreate the instances.
  • All data is stored on a separate volume mounted at /var/mnt/data, allowing us to more easily recreate instances if needed, and to have a single location to backup.
  • As host OS we use Fedora CoreOS which is self-updating.
• Ansible is used to configure the hosts, including the mapping of which services run on the various hosts. When recreating a VM instance, Ansible should perform all required tasks for the host to be running properly in short time. Some manual tasks for moving data might be needed.
• All hosts use ZeroTier to be in the same L2 network. A bridge named fbs0 and a docker network is set up to allow Docker containers to use IPs in this network. Each host has its own internal IP-range so ad-hoc containers can get IPs in this network.
• All services run as Docker containers. The containers gets a static internal IPs and all containers can reach any other service on any host.
• Services should be reached only by using its hostname, such as users-api.zt.foreningenbs.no. Published services are only published on the host they are running.

Note: The DNS entries must be added manually to Domeneshop. See https://foreningenbs.no/confluence/display/FBS/Kundedetaljer+Domeneshop

The service nginx-front-1 is published at port 80 and 443 and acts as the reverse proxy for public traffic. DNS-entries must be set up for this for the physical host this is running at:

• foreningenbs.no: 158.39.48.49 (fcos-3)
• www.foreningenbs.no: 158.39.48.49 (fcos-3)
• deployer.foreningenbs.no: 158.39.48.49 (fcos-3)
• deployer-secondary.foreningenbs.no: 158.39.48.49 (fcos-3)
• blindernuka.no: 158.39.48.49 (fcos-3)
• www.blindernuka.no: 158.39.48.49 (fcos-3)
• billett.blindernuka.no: 158.39.48.49 (fcos-3)

This service also keeps our Let's Encrypt certificates up-to-date.

To manage the network, log in to https://my.zerotier.com/network/a84ac5c10a9c7522 using the credentials stored at https://foreningenbs.no/confluence/display/FBS/Kundeforhold+ZeroTier

To add a new ad-hoc client to the network:

• Install ZeroTier from https://www.zerotier.com/ or use https://github.com/henrist/zerotier-one-docker.
• Request to join network a84ac5c10a9c7522 (leave only "allow managed" checked).
• Authorize the client in the ZeroTier dashboard linked above.
• Give the client a description so we keep track of what is connected.
• You should now be able to ping e.g. fcos-1.zt.foreningenbs.no.

We use Google Workspace SMTP relay service to send email.

For this to work, all the IPs of our instances must be registered in our Google Workspace account. See https://admin.google.com/u/0/ac/apps/gmail/routing

This repo uses git-crypt to encrypt sensitive files.

In addition, some files are encrypted using Ansible Vault. The encryption key used for this is stored in this repo. The intention of using Ansible Vault is to avoid having plain text files in local working directories, which is the default behaviour with git-crypt.

The instances comes with https://containertoolbx.org/install/ preinstalled.
