# CLAUDE.md This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository. ## Overview This is a personal infrastructure Ansible playbook that automates deployment and management of 25+ self-hosted Docker services across two domains (`thesatelliteoflove.com` and `nerder.land`). The setup uses Tailscale VPN for secure networking and Caddy for reverse proxy with automated HTTPS. **Important**: Always review `DEPLOYMENT_LEARNINGS.md` when working on this repository for lessons learned and troubleshooting guidance. ## Common Commands ### Initial Setup ```bash # Install Ansible dependencies ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml # Bootstrap new server (creates user, installs Tailscale, security hardening) ansible-playbook bootstrap.yml -i hosts.yml # Deploy all Docker services ansible-playbook site.yml -i hosts.yml # Update DNS records in AWS Route53 ansible-playbook dns.yml -i hosts.yml ``` ### Service Management ```bash # Deploy specific services using tags ansible-playbook site.yml -i hosts.yml --tags caddy --vault-password-file vault_pass --extra-vars "@secrets.enc" ansible-playbook site.yml -i hosts.yml --tags authentik,gitea --vault-password-file vault_pass --extra-vars "@secrets.enc" ansible-playbook site.yml -i hosts.yml --tags docker --vault-password-file vault_pass --extra-vars "@secrets.enc" # all docker services # Deploy only infrastructure components ansible-playbook site.yml -i hosts.yml --tags common,cron --vault-password-file vault_pass --extra-vars "@secrets.enc" ``` ## Architecture ### Host Configuration - **Bootstrap Host** (`netcup`): 152.53.36.98 - Initial server setup target - **Docker Host** (`docker-01`): 100.70.169.99 - Main service deployment via Tailscale ### Role Structure - **bootstrap**: Initial server hardening, user creation, Tailscale VPN setup - **common**: Basic system configuration, UFW firewall management - **docker**: Comprehensive service deployment (25+ containerized applications) - **cron**: Scheduled task management (currently Warhammer RSS feed generation) ### Service Categories in Docker Role - **Infrastructure**: Caddy (reverse proxy), Authentik (SSO), Dockge (container management) - **Development**: Gitea, Code Server, Matrix (Conduit) - **Media**: Audiobookshelf, Calibre, Ghost blog, Pinchflat - **Productivity**: Paperless-NGX, TasksMD/MMDL, Baikal (CalDAV/CardDAV), Syncthing - **Communication**: GoToSocial (Fediverse), Postiz (social media management) - **Monitoring**: Changedetection, Glance dashboard, AppriseAPI ### Data Structure - All service data stored in `/opt/stacks/[service-name]/` on docker host - Docker Compose files generated from Jinja2 templates in `roles/docker/templates/` - Environment files templated for services requiring configuration ## Key Implementation Details ### Template-Driven Configuration The docker role uses Jinja2 templates extensively. When modifying services: - Update templates in `roles/docker/templates/[service]-compose.yml.j2` - Environment files use `.env.j2` templates where needed - Main task files in `roles/docker/tasks/` include service-specific deployment logic ### DNS Management The `dns.yml` playbook manages AWS Route53 records for both domains. All subdomains point to the netcup server (152.53.36.98), with Caddy handling internal routing to the docker host via Tailscale. ### Security Architecture - Tailscale provides secure networking between management and service hosts - Services are network-isolated using Docker - Caddy handles SSL termination with automatic Let's Encrypt certificates - UFW firewall managed through Docker integration script ### Service Dependencies Many services depend on Authentik for SSO. When deploying new services, consider: - Whether SSO integration is needed - Caddy routing configuration for subdomain access - Network connectivity requirements within Docker stack - Hairpinning fixes for internal service-to-service communication ### Hairpinning Resolution Services inside Docker containers cannot reach external domains that resolve to the same server. Fix by adding `extra_hosts` mappings: ```yaml extra_hosts: - "auth.thesatelliteoflove.com:172.20.0.5" - "cal.thesatelliteoflove.com:172.20.0.5" ``` Common domains requiring hairpinning fixes: - `auth.thesatelliteoflove.com` (Authentik SSO) - `cal.thesatelliteoflove.com` (Baikal CalDAV) - Any service domain the container needs to communicate with
