docs(vault): fleet-wide fact re-verification pass (67 pages)

The docs-fact census wave re-read the live hosts and re-keyed every page
it could: runtime/payload identities, ports, sizes, ledger figures, unit
state, and the retirement banners that drifted as the fleet moved. The
wave was interrupted mid-run, so this commit carries only what passed the
integrity gates: every touched page parses (front matter or H1+status
convention intact, balanced fences, no truncated tables, trailing
newline), the docs_completeness and link-integrity seams are green, and
bats is 384/384.

Numbers that this session proved on live hosts are keyed to the measured
value, not the page's earlier claim.

# Caddy
Caddy is the single reverse proxy for both hosts. It runs as a boot-persistent quadlet container (`caddy.service`) on Dankclaw (192.168.0.143), terminates TLS with real Let's Encrypt certificates, routes hostnames to containers on both hosts, and protects the homepage and sensitive services with HTTP basic auth.
Caddy is the single reverse proxy for both hosts. It runs as a boot-persistent quadlet container (`caddy.service`) on Dankclaw (192.168.0.143), terminates TLS with real Let's Encrypt certificates, routes hostnames to containers on both hosts, and gates the guarded vhosts through the two-tier chain — Anubis bot-challenge first, then Authentik — rather than through HTTP basic auth (`dankclaw/Caddyfile:14-24`). Basic auth survives on exactly one vhost today: the Pi-hole admin UI (`dankclaw/Caddyfile:166-171`).

Caddy left `compose.yaml` on 2026-08-26. A reboot exposed that the bare compose container never comes back: rootless Podman has no boot-time auto-start for bare containers, and `restart: unless-stopped` does not survive the explicit stop that shutdown performs. The quadlet unit is now the only way Caddy starts (see AGENTS.md "Boot Persistence & Self-Healing").
- **Install path on Dankclaw:** `~/.config/containers/systemd/caddy.container` (unit `caddy.service`)
- **Network:** `dankclaw_default` (the compose bridge — the Caddyfile's container-name upstreams must keep resolving; if no compose service has created the network yet at boot, quadlet creates it first and compose reuses it by name later)
- **Network:** `dankclaw_default` — the long-lived bridge (`10.89.1.0/24`, gateway `10.89.1.1`, `podman network inspect dankclaw_default`, 2026-10-18) that the old compose stack created; the Caddyfile's container-name upstreams must keep resolving on it. `dankclaw/compose.yaml` no longer exists in the repo or on the host (`ls`, 2026-10-18), so from now on the quadlet units that name this network are the only thing that creates it at boot.
- **Published ports:** 80/tcp, 443/tcp
- **Env file:** `/home/dank/Containers/caddy/env` (`PORKBUN_API_KEY`, `PORKBUN_API_SECRET_KEY`) — the deploy writes it from the checkout's `.env`; secrets never enter the repo (placeholders in `dankclaw/caddy/env.example`)
- **Restart:** `Restart=always`, `RestartSec=5`; the health check probes the bare-IP catch-all (302) inside the container
- **Env file:** `/home/dank/Containers/caddy/env` (`PORKBUN_API_KEY`, `PORKBUN_API_SECRET_KEY`) — the deploy creates it from the checkout's `dankclaw/.env` if it is missing and then fails if either variable is absent (`scripts/deploy-remote.sh:405-412`); secrets never enter the repo (placeholders in `dankclaw/caddy/env.example`)
- **Restart:** `Restart=always`, `RestartSec=5`; the health check probes the bare-IP catch-all inside the container, which answers **308** (not 302) — `curl -sI http://127.0.0.1:80/` → `308`, `Location: https://www.franksdank.cloud/` (host, 2026-10-18; `dankclaw/Caddyfile:60-62`)
- **Image policy:** `Pull=never` — the image is built on-host and exists nowhere else; a boot must not stall on a registry
- **Enable state:** `systemctl --user is-enabled caddy` reports `generated` — that is the healthy state for a quadlet. The podman generator creates the `default.target.wants` symlink from the unit's `[Install]` section at every user-manager start (linger covers boot); an explicit `systemctl enable` fails on generated units, so the deploy does not run it
- **Deploy:** `./scripts/deploy.sh dankclaw --service caddy` — renders the Caddyfile, rebuilds the image if the Containerfile changed, retires the legacy split proxy, writes the env file, removes the old bare container (all state is in host volumes), then installs and starts the unit
- **Deploy:** `./scripts/deploy.sh dankclaw --service caddy` → `deploy_caddy()` (`scripts/deploy-remote.sh:383-429`) renders the Caddyfile, rebuilds the image when the Containerfile hash changed, retires the legacy split proxy, writes the env file, removes the old bare container (all state is in host volumes), installs the quadlet, restarts the unit, and issues `podman exec caddy caddy reload` afterwards

The bare-IP catch-all `:80` 302-redirects to `https://dankclaw.franksdank.cloud/`. The legacy name `dankserver.franksdank.cloud` 302-redirects there too. `plex.franksdank.casa` is the only plain-HTTP vhost; it cannot get a DNS-01 cert because `franksdank.casa` is not in the Porkbun account. The canonical Plex name is `plex.franksdank.cloud`. Both Plex vhosts dial PMS **over TLS upstream** (`transport http { tls_insecure_skip_verify }` — in this Caddy build the flag is a bare token inside the transport block, not a `tls {}` sub-block): PMS 1.43.x silently closes plain-HTTP connections from non-loopback sources (diagnosed 2026-08-26 — it accepts, reads the request, and FINs without responding), which surfaced here as an empty-body 502 (blank page in browsers). `insecure_skip_verify` applies only to this pinned-LAN hop (PMS serves a self-signed cert); client-facing Let's Encrypt TLS is unchanged. The Plex web UI is at `/web/`; `/` returns the XML `MediaContainer` index.
ComfyUI is **not** in this table: it has no vhost. It publishes `0.0.0.0:8188` and is reached at `comfyui.franksdank.cloud:8188` through the Pi-hole A record, with no Caddy and no authentication on the LAN (`dankclaw/comfyui/quadlet/comfyui.container:24-30`).
The bare-IP catch-all `:80` 308-redirects to `https://www.franksdank.cloud/` (`dankclaw/Caddyfile:60-62`, status measured 2026-10-18), and so do the two legacy names `dankclaw.franksdank.cloud` and `dankserver.franksdank.cloud` (`dankclaw/Caddyfile:81-88`) — `dankclaw.` is a redirect target of the past, not of `:80`. `plex.franksdank.casa` is the only plain-HTTP vhost; it cannot get a DNS-01 cert because `franksdank.casa` is not in the Porkbun account. The canonical Plex name is `plex.franksdank.cloud`. Both Plex vhosts dial PMS **over TLS upstream** (`transport http { tls_insecure_skip_verify }` — in this Caddy build the flag is a bare token inside the transport block, not a `tls {}` sub-block): PMS 1.43.x silently closes plain-HTTP connections from non-loopback sources (diagnosed 2026-08-26 — it accepts, reads the request, and FINs without responding), which surfaced here as an empty-body 502 (blank page in browsers). The version line holds: the container on Dankserver is `lscr.io/linuxserver/plex:1.43.4.10903-e5521bd8c-ls325` (`podman ps`, 2026-10-18). `insecure_skip_verify` applies only to this pinned-LAN hop (PMS serves a self-signed cert); client-facing Let's Encrypt TLS is unchanged.

## Basic auth
The Caddyfile in git carries a **bare** placeholder; deploy.sh substitutes the **full** hash from the host `.env` (`CADDY_BASICAUTH_HASH`):
```
chat.franksdank.cloud {
pihole.franksdank.cloud {
basicauth {
dank REPLACE_WITH_HASH
dankuser REPLACE_WITH_HASH
}
reverse_proxy 192.168.0.143:3005
reverse_proxy 192.168.0.143:8083
}
```
After rendering, the line reads `dank $2a$14$xxxx…` (one complete hash). Do not put a `$2a$14$` prefix in the template: it would render a double-prefixed, invalid hash (2026-08-22 incident — every basicauth vhost returned 401 for every password). `tests/deployment_flow.bats` pins the render contract.
After rendering, the line reads `dankuser <hash>` (one complete hash) — `tests/deployment_flow.bats:96-99` pins the `dankuser` name and the single-hash form, and `tests/caddyfile.bats:75` pins the bare `dankuser REPLACE_WITH_HASH` template. Do not put a `$2a$14$` prefix in the template: it would render a double-prefixed, invalid hash (2026-08-22 incident — every basicauth vhost returned 401 for every password; `tests/caddyfile.bats:67-72` forbids the prefix). `tests/deployment_flow.bats` pins the render contract.
The homepage (and SearXNG, Hermes, Prometheus, RomM, Copyparty) use `forward_auth` (Authentik SSO) rather than basicauth; see [[Homepage]] and [[Authentik]]. The basicauth hash above is still rendered for the vhosts that keep it (Grafana, Pi-hole).
Everything else authenticates, not basicauth. The guarded set — `www.` (homepage), `search.`, `grafana.`, `prometheus.`, `loki.`, `seerr.`, `marreta.`, `romm.`, `files.` — proxies **all** traffic to `anubis:8923`, which verifies the client and forwards it back to Caddy's internal listener `http://:8016`; Authentik's proxy-provider mode serves the login inline (this build exposes **no** `forward_auth` endpoint) and forwards authenticated traffic to `http://:8017`, where the request is routed straight to its app (`dankclaw/Caddyfile:14-24,283-423`). The exempt-by-construction set never enters that chain: `auth.` (the IdP itself), `ai.` and `gitea.` (own logins), `hermes.` and `hermesadmin.` (app-enforced passwords), `pihole.` (the basicauth edge above), and the media/*arr vhosts. Grafana left basicauth on 2026-09-01 and is an OAuth2 relying party against Authentik (`dankclaw/Caddyfile:122-132`). See [[Homepage]] and [[Authentik]].

Certificates and ACME state live in the caddy data volume (`data/caddy/`). Back it up with the stack. Each vhost owns one certificate; renewals are automatic and also use DNS-01. The store also still holds leaf certificates for names the Caddyfile no longer defines — `sonarr.`, `chat.`, `comfyui.`, `ntfy.`, `jellyfin.` (`.franksdank.cloud`) each have a directory there (host `ls`, 2026-10-18) — retired vhosts leave certificates behind, which is harmless but is the record that those names once existed.
## Gotchas
- A bare compose container is **not** boot-persistent: after the 2026-08-26 reboot Caddy stayed down for hours because `restart: unless-stopped` does not survive shutdown's explicit stop. It now runs only from its quadlet unit — do not re-add it to `compose.yaml`.
- A bare compose container is **not** boot-persistent: after the 2026-08-26 reboot Caddy stayed down for hours because `restart: unless-stopped` does not survive shutdown's explicit stop. It now runs only from its quadlet unit, and the repo has no `dankclaw/compose.yaml` left to re-add it to (`ls`, 2026-10-18).
- `admin off` disables the config file watcher: rendered changes then sit on disk while Caddy serves its stale in-memory config until the container is recreated, and nothing logs an error (2026-08-22: a broken basicauth hash survived several deploys this way). `tests/caddyfile.bats` forbids `admin off`.
- The basicauth template must stay a bare `REPLACE_WITH_HASH` token (no `$2a$14$` prefix) — the rendered value is the complete hash. A double prefix silently rejects every password with 401; no Caddy error is logged.
- A new vhost needs three things: a Pi-hole `addn-hosts` line, a Porkbun A record, and the Caddyfile block. See [[LAN-DNS]].
- The G36 has no NAT loopback, so LAN clients must resolve the name to the LAN IP. That is the Pi-hole role in [[LAN-DNS]].
- A public vhost needs three things: a Pi-hole `addn-hosts` line, a Porkbun A record, and the Caddyfile block. See [[LAN-DNS]]. The deliberate exception is an **internal-only** name: `hermes.franksdank.cloud` and `hermesadmin.franksdank.cloud` are in `addn-hosts` and the Caddyfile but have no public record, which is what keeps them LAN-only — DNS-01 issuance needs no public A record (`dankclaw/Caddyfile:173-179`).
- The G36 has no NAT loopback, so LAN clients must resolve the name to the LAN IP. That is the Pi-hole role in [[LAN-DNS]]. *(unverified 2026-10-18: hairpin behaviour is only observable from a WAN-side client; nothing on the LAN or in this repo can prove it)*
- Caddy serves HTTPS on 443 and HTTP on 80 (redirects). The router needs no 80/443 port forward for LAN use.
- `transport http {versions h2c 1.1}` on a vhost makes Caddy send an h2c
upgrade preface; .NET/Kestrel backends (Jellyfin) reject it and Caddy turns
the failure into a 502 while the same port answers 200 over plain HTTP/1.1.
Match the transport to what the backend speaks: Jellyfin = default HTTP/1.1,
Plex PMS = TLS (PMS drops plain HTTP off-loopback, see the test suite).
Match the transport to what the backend speaks: Jellyfin = default HTTP/1.1
(`dankclaw/Caddyfile:248-251` carries no transport block), Plex PMS = TLS
(`dankclaw/Caddyfile:221-227`; PMS drops plain HTTP off-loopback — the
`tls_insecure_skip_verify` hop is measured in `tests/caddyfile.bats`, and no
vhost in the current Caddyfile sets `versions h2c`).
