Infrastructure for the donut shaped thing that is absolutely not a donut.

Quick start

Enter our dev-shell for things like our colmena wrapper, secrets helper and required binaries:

$ nix develop

Build the infrastructure

$ colmena build --on @localboot

Notice that @localboot is load-bearing as we have some machines that cannot be deployed with vanilla Colmena. Fixing this is welcome.

Recommended deploy process

$ colmena apply dry-activate $machine # Verify that the nvd log is reasonable.
$ colmena apply $machine

Recommended upgrade process

$ nix flake update
$ colmena apply dry-activate --on @localboot # Verify that the nvd log is reasonable. Run it twice to get only NVD logs shown.
$ colmena apply --on @localboot

Deploy the Terraform infrastructure

$ vault-login
$ eval "$(get-secrets)"
$ nix run .#tf -- plan # Vanilla Terraform from there.
$ nix run .#tf -- apply

Make changes to DNS via dnscontrol

$ vault-login
$ eval "$(get-secrets)"
$ cd dnscontrol
$ dnscontrol preview # preview the changes without applying them
$ dnscontrol push # apply changes

Troubleshooting

I failed to deploy gerrit01

Our Gerrit source build is known to have some hiccups sometimes, we are always interested in build logs, feel free to attach information in a new issue so we can make it more reliable.

get-secrets fails
