kvitt/infra

infra: Kvitt infrastructure

This file covers the development stack on the owner's Mac (infra/dev/, milestone M2c-dev, D-001), the Firebase setup (SPEC §10.7) and the Pi stack (infra/pi/, milestone M2c-pi, D-100): a self-contained compose project the owner copies to /home/jacobhagstedt/kvitt on the Kvitt Pi and runs there (D-125), behind the owner's Nginx Proxy Manager on the Home Assistant Pi (D-120). No agent and no Mac script connects to the Pis; the owner runs every Pi command and every NPM setting from the checklist in "Pi: what the owner does".

Layout

Path	What
dev/compose.yaml	Dev stack: server (image kvitt-server:dev) and the on-demand backup job
dev/.env.example	Dev settings, no secret values; copy to dev/.env (git-ignored) to override
dev/build.sh	Builds kvitt-server:dev from server/Dockerfile and kvitt-backup:dev from backup/Dockerfile
dev/up.sh	Starts the server, waits for /health, prints the Mac and phone URLs; --down stops the stack
dev/logs.sh	Follows the logs (dev/logs.sh --tail 100 server)
dev/backup.sh	Runs the backup job once and checks the snapshot with PRAGMA integrity_check
dev/copy-google-services.sh	Copies secrets/google-services.json to android/app/google-services.json
dev/lib.sh	Helpers sourced by the scripts
dev/secrets/	Git-ignored: only fcm-service-account.json, copied there by dev/up.sh and mounted read-only at /secrets
backup/Dockerfile, backup/backup.sh, backup/healthcheck.sh	Backup image and job of SPEC §10.9 (shared with the Pi stack); Drive upload and D-002 deletion
pi/	The Pi project (copied to ~/kvitt on the Kvitt Pi): compose.yaml, .env.example; git-ignored pi/.env, pi/secrets/, pi/out/
build-images.sh	Mac fallback for the image build: linux/arm64, push to the Gitea registry
publish-apk.sh	Mac: release APK, mapping and latest.json into pi/out/apk/ for the owner to copy to the Pi
RESTORE.md	Restore from a Drive backup, step by step (SPEC §10.9)
../.gitea/workflows/build-images.yaml	Gitea Actions image build (the normal path)
secrets/	Git-ignored: fcm-service-account.json, google-services.json, rclone.conf, optional registry.env (and ha_ssh_key(.pub), unused since D-120). Never committed

All Mac commands below run from the repository root of the main checkout (/Users/jhag/projects/kvitt).

Development stack

Choices. No Caddy and no TLS: debug builds accept http:// to private LAN addresses (AC-2.8), so the server publishes its own port (default 8080) on all of the Mac's interfaces. The server keeps the hardening of SPEC §8.9 (uid 10001, read-only root, no capabilities, no-new-privileges), the 160 MiB limit, json-file logging (10 MB x 3) and TZ=Europe/Stockholm. Data lives in the bind-mounted folder infra/dev/data/ (git-ignored) so it is easy to inspect and reset. Only the FCM key reaches the container (D-117): up.sh copies ${KVITT_SECRETS_DIR}/fcm-service-account.json (default infra/secrets/) into infra/dev/secrets/ (git-ignored, nothing else in it) and that folder is mounted read-only at /secrets, so the server never sees rclone.conf, the registry credentials or google-services.json. If the key is missing the folder is empty and the server runs with push disabled (§10.4). Run up.sh once before the bare docker compose commands below (they mount the same folder); after rotating the key, run up.sh again.

On this Mac docker is Podman (docker compose runs podman-compose); the files work with Docker Desktop as well.

Build

infra/dev/build.sh            # both images
infra/dev/build.sh server     # only kvitt-server:dev; needs server/Dockerfile
infra/dev/build.sh backup     # only kvitt-backup:dev

The server build is docker build --platform linux/arm64 -f server/Dockerfile -t kvitt-server:dev server (override the context with KVITT_SERVER_BUILD_CONTEXT). The script refuses to run while a Gradle build holds /tmp/kvitt-gradle.lock (CLAUDE.md).

Start, stop, logs

infra/dev/up.sh               # start; prints health, the Mac URL and the phone URL
infra/dev/logs.sh             # follow logs (Ctrl-C to stop following)
infra/dev/up.sh --down        # stop and remove the containers (data stays in infra/dev/data/)

KVITT_PUBLIC_URL (used in invite links) is left empty in .env.example; up.sh sets it to http://<Mac LAN address>:<port>. Pin it in infra/dev/.env if the Mac's address changes often.

Finding the Mac's LAN address

up.sh prints it. By hand: ipconfig getifaddr en0 (Wi-Fi on most Macs), or the interface of the default route: route -n get default | grep interface, then ipconfig getifaddr <interface>. It must be a private address (192.168.*, 10.*, 172.16.* to 172.31.*) for a debug build to accept http:// (AC-2.8).

The first time a phone connects, macOS may ask whether the container runtime (Podman's gvproxy, or Docker) may accept incoming network connections: answer Allow.

Bootstrap and pairing a debug build

The bootstrap and pair-device subcommands (SPEC §10.4, AC-1.1, AC-1.6) arrive with the server milestones.

C="docker compose -f infra/dev/compose.yaml --env-file infra/dev/.env.example"   # or --env-file infra/dev/.env
$C exec server kvitt-server bootstrap                      # first admin invite: code, link, expiry
$C exec server kvitt-server pair-device --user <user_id>   # extra device invite for an existing user
$C exec server kvitt-server invite-partner                 # partner invite by the admin, as E-12 (D-113)
$C run --rm server migrate                                 # when the server is stopped (entrypoint is kvitt-server)

On the phone (home Wi-Fi, debug build se.hagstedt.kvitt.debug): open the pairing screen, enter the server URL http://<Mac LAN address>:8080 and the printed code (AC-2.7). Check reachability first by opening http://<Mac LAN address>:8080/health in Chrome on the phone: it shows "status":"ok".

Backup (local, no Drive upload)

infra/dev/backup.sh

Runs infra/backup/backup.sh once in the backup image (compose profile backup, so up never starts it) with RCLONE_FOLDER_ID empty: .backup snapshot, PRAGMA integrity_check must print ok, then infra/dev/backups/kvitt-<UTC stamp>.sqlite.gz, pictures-<stamp>.tar.gz and last-success; the Drive upload is skipped with a log line and the files are kept (SPEC §10.9, D-001). The wrapper then checks the new snapshot again. The dev env file has no rclone settings (RCLONE_REMOTE is no longer in dev/.env.example): only the Pi's .env names the remote. To check by hand: gunzip -c infra/dev/backups/kvitt-<stamp>.sqlite.gz > /tmp/k.sqlite && sqlite3 /tmp/k.sqlite "PRAGMA integrity_check".

Resetting the dev data

infra/dev/up.sh --down
rm -rf infra/dev/data         # the dev database, pictures and APKs; never the phones' data
infra/dev/up.sh               # fresh database; run bootstrap again

Paired debug builds then hold a token the new database does not know: re-pair them (clear the debug app's data on the phone, or reinstall the debug build).

Worktrees

Agents work in .claude/worktrees/agent-<id>, which has no infra/secrets/ unless copied (CLAUDE.md). Either copy it from the main checkout, or set KVITT_SECRETS_DIR=/Users/jhag/projects/kvitt/infra/secrets in infra/dev/.env. infra/dev/copy-google-services.sh /Users/jhag/projects/kvitt copies the Firebase config from the main checkout into the worktree's android/app/.

Firebase (SPEC §10.7)

Project kvitt-1337 (Firebase added to the existing Google Cloud project). Free tier only; nothing billable is created by this setup.

Resource	Name
APIs enabled	firebase.googleapis.com, fcm.googleapis.com, cloudresourcemanager.googleapis.com, iam.googleapis.com
Android app	"Kvitt", package se.hagstedt.kvitt
Android app	"Kvitt debug", package se.hagstedt.kvitt.debug
Service account	kvitt-fcm@kvitt-1337.iam.gserviceaccount.com ("Kvitt FCM sender"), role roles/firebasecloudmessaging.admin (the narrowest predefined role holding cloudmessaging.messages.create)
Key	infra/secrets/fcm-service-account.json (git-ignored, mode 600)
Config	infra/secrets/google-services.json, one file with both Android clients (git-ignored)

Put the config where Gradle reads it: infra/dev/copy-google-services.sh.

The setup used only gcloud and the Firebase Management REST API. To repeat or inspect it:

T=$(gcloud auth print-access-token)
H=(-H "Authorization: Bearer $T" -H "x-goog-user-project: kvitt-1337")
API=https://firebase.googleapis.com/v1beta1/projects/kvitt-1337
curl -sS "${H[@]}" "$API/androidApps"                                 # list the apps (ids, packages)
curl -sS "${H[@]}" "$API/androidApps/<appId>/config"                   # configFileContents is base64 google-services.json
gcloud iam service-accounts keys list --iam-account kvitt-fcm@kvitt-1337.iam.gserviceaccount.com --project kvitt-1337

Rotating the key: create a new one with gcloud iam service-accounts keys create infra/secrets/fcm-service-account.json --iam-account kvitt-fcm@kvitt-1337.iam.gserviceaccount.com --project kvitt-1337, restart the server, then delete the old key id with gcloud iam service-accounts keys delete <key id> .... The key goes to the Pi as ~/kvitt/secrets/fcm-service-account.json ("Pi: what the owner does", step 2).

Pi stack (SPEC §10.1 to §10.10, D-100)

How it fits together

Where	What runs	Who runs it
Gitea Actions (runner label host, a Raspberry Pi)	.gitea/workflows/build-images.yaml: builds kvitt-server and kvitt-backup for linux/arm64, pushes them to gitea.lan/jacobh2/... tagged vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH and latest, pushes the git tag	Gitea, on a push to server/**, infra/backup/**, .gitea/workflows/**, or by hand (Actions, "Run workflow")
Owner's Mac	infra/build-images.sh [tag] (fallback image build), infra/publish-apk.sh (release APK into infra/pi/out/apk/)	The owner (or an agent, for the APK build only)
Kvitt Pi, /home/jacobhagstedt/kvitt/	compose.yaml, .env, secrets/, and the bind-mounted data/ (SQLite, pictures, apk/), backups/, import/; nothing outside this folder (D-125)	The owner, in their own SSH session, with plain docker compose commands
Home Assistant Pi	Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM): a proxy host for <KVITT_PUBLIC_HOST> with its own Let's Encrypt certificate, TLS on 443, plain HTTP to <kvitt-pi-address>:8080 over the LAN (D-120)	The owner, in NPM's web UI (step 4)
Router (ASUS)	No new rule: the existing external TCP 443 forward to the Home Assistant Pi (NPM, for Home Assistant) serves Kvitt too, NPM picks the proxy host by name; external 80 already reaches NPM for Let's Encrypt; nothing is forwarded to the Kvitt Pi (D-124)	The owner checks it (step 5)

Stack (pi/compose.yaml, project name kvitt): server (publishes 8080:8080 on the Pi's LAN interfaces, the only published port; KVITT_PUBLIC_URL=https://${KVITT_PUBLIC_HOST} (default port 443, D-124), KVITT_TRUSTED_PROXY=${HA_HOST}) and backup; relative bind mounts ./data:/data, ./backups:/backups (backup), ./import:/import:ro (server), and one secret file each, read-only: secrets/fcm-service-account.json for the server, secrets/rclone.conf for the backup (D-117: the server never sees the Drive token); both containers run as ${KVITT_UID}:${KVITT_GID}, the owner's uid and gid, with a read-only root, a 16 MB tmpfs /tmp, no capabilities and no-new-privileges; every service restart: unless-stopped, json-file logs 10 MB x 3, TZ=Europe/Stockholm; the compose default network. Images are ${KVITT_REGISTRY}/kvitt-server|kvitt-backup:${KVITT_TAG} with KVITT_REGISTRY=gitea.lan/jacobh2 (D-104; the names the workflow pushes). Caddy and cert-sync were removed by D-120: TLS terminates in NPM, which already runs on the Home Assistant Pi. There is no install script and nothing on the Pi outside ~/kvitt is changed (D-125).

Client IPs (SPEC §8.5, §8.6). NPM's request to the server carries X-Forwarded-For: <what the client sent>, <client address>; the server takes the last entry only when the TCP peer is KVITT_TRUSTED_PROXY, so HA_HOST must be NPM's LAN IPv4 address (the server accepts an IP literal or a resolvable name, not a CIDR; use the address, because the container cannot resolve an mDNS name such as homeassistant.local). The router's forward keeps the internet client's source address, and Docker's published port keeps NPM's (DNAT, no SNAT, for traffic arriving on the LAN interface), so the per-IP limits of D-032, D-115 and D-119 see real addresses. The server does not use X-Forwarded-Proto or Host: links are built from KVITT_PUBLIC_URL (E-12). Anyone on the home LAN can also reach http://<kvitt-pi-address>:8080 directly; such requests count against their own address, and only HA_HOST may set X-Forwarded-For.

Versions (resolved 2026-10-18)

Component	Version	Source
Nginx Proxy Manager	The owner's existing install on the Home Assistant Pi; the block of step 4 was written against NPM v2.16.0 (2026-09-24) templates	github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager, backend/templates/proxy_host.conf
Alpine (backup)	alpine:3.24.2@sha256:294b683cb724975bec92580e1e685676bd4b50bda910ddb8c51d4cabeaec77e6	Docker Hub official image; 3.24 = latest
backup packages (Alpine v3.24)	sqlite 3.53.4, rclone 1.74.1, tar 1.35, tzdata 2026e (M2c-dev), supercronic 0.2.49-r1	apk policy in the pinned image
Docker Engine on the Pi	Docker's Debian apt repository, arm64 packages (docker-ce 5:29.8.2 current): docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin	docs.docker.com/engine/install/raspberry-pi-os/: that page is for 32-bit (armhf) only; 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS uses the Debian instructions (docs.docker.com/engine/install/debian/)

Why supercronic, not busybox crond (D-104). The backup sidecar runs as a non-root user (the owner's uid on the Pi, D-125). Busybox crond started as a non-root user in alpine 3.24.2 never ran a job (tested 2026-10-18: an every-minute job produced no output in two minutes). supercronic is a cron for containers that runs jobs as the user it runs as and honours TZ; the schedule is unchanged (30 3 * * *).

Container uid (D-105, D-125)

server and backup run as the same uid, because sqlite3 .backup on a WAL database must open (and write) kvitt.sqlite-shm, which the server creates with mode 0644 (D-105). On the Pi that uid is the owner's own (KVITT_UID, KVITT_GID in .env, id -u / id -g), so everything in data/ and backups/ belongs to the owner, the secret files can simply be the owner's with mode 0600, and a restore works with plain mv and cp (D-125). The images need no particular uid: the server image is distroless with USER 10001 only as its default (compose's user: overrides it; the binary needs no account, no home and nothing writable outside /data), and the backup image's scheduler supercronic runs as any uid. The owner's uid has no account inside either image; the backup container gets HOME=/tmp for rclone. Folders the containers write to must exist before the first start (mkdir -p data/apk backups import): a bind-mount source Docker creates itself belongs to root. rclone writes refreshed access tokens back to its config; the mounted file is read-only, so backup.sh works on a private copy in the tmpfs /tmp each run. The development stack on the Mac keeps uid 10001 (infra/dev/).

What was checked on the Mac

2026-10-20 (D-125, self-contained compose project):

• podman-compose -f infra/pi/compose.yaml --env-file <filled sample> config: exit 0.
• Rehearsal with Podman in a scratch copy of the project folder, KVITT_UID/KVITT_GID = the Mac user's 501:20 (not 10001), images kvitt-server from server/Dockerfile and kvitt-backup from infra/backup/Dockerfile: both containers healthy with read-only roots; GET /health 200 with db_ok: true; kvitt.sqlite, its -wal and -shm and data/apk owned by 501 on the host; kvitt-server bootstrap through exec printed a code, a https://<KVITT_PUBLIC_HOST>/i/ link and an expiry; an APK and latest.json copied into data/apk/ were served at once (/apk/latest, /apk/files/kvitt-<n>.apk 200 application/vnd.android.package-archive); /backup.sh through exec: with RCLONE_FOLDER_ID empty it kept both files and wrote last-success; with a local rclone remote under /tmp it uploaded, confirmed and deleted the local copies; with the remote on the read-only root it failed, kept the files and left last-success unchanged; the archives belong to 501. The restore steps of RESTORE.md (stop, gunzip, integrity_check ok, mv aside, cp, tar -x, run --rm server rotate-epoch, start) ended with /health 200. Podman-compose ignores create_host_path: false (it created a directory for a missing secret file); Docker Compose honours it and refuses to start instead, not checked here.
• Not checked (needs the Pi): Docker Engine and Docker Compose themselves, pulls from gitea.lan, Drive.

2026-10-19 (D-120, Nginx Proxy Manager instead of Caddy and cert-sync):

• shellcheck -S style on every script under infra/ and tools/: clean.
• podman-compose -f infra/pi/compose.yaml --env-file <filled sample> config and the same for infra/dev/: exit 0.
• nginx -t (nginx:alpine 1.31.7) of the step 4 block inside a minimal server block, and inside a copy of NPM v2.16.0's nginx.conf with the proxy host rendered as NPM's template renders it for the step 4 settings (Block Common Exploits, Force SSL, HTTP/2, HSTS, the block; NPM's regex ^(?:.*;)?\s*?location\s*?\/\s*?{ finds the block's location /, so NPM leaves its own out): both successful.
• Rehearsal with Podman: the server image built from server/Dockerfile at this commit (arm64, hardened as on the Pi) behind that nginx with a self-signed certificate, KVITT_TRUSTED_PROXY = the nginx container's address, clients on a non-private test subnet (so NPM's set_real_ip_from does not apply, as for internet clients). 21 checks passed: GET /health 200 over HTTP/2 with Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff, X-Frame-Options: DENY, Referrer-Policy: no-referrer and Strict-Transport-Security once each and no X-Served-By; the landing page /i/<code>?from=<name> 200 with one Referrer-Policy; http:// answered 301 to https://; a 7 MB body refused by nginx (413), a 2 MB body answered by the server (payload_too_large); one client limited after 60 requests a minute while a second client was still served, a forged X-Forwarded-For did not escape the limit, and with KVITT_TRUSTED_PROXY set to another address both clients shared one bucket (so the limits key on the forwarded address); after /i/, //i/ and /%69/ requests, and a 502 on /i/ with the server stopped, the invite code, the name and /i/ occurred 0 times in nginx's access and error logs, while other paths were logged with their query strings and a 502 on /health was in the error log.
• Not checked (needs the real hosts): NPM's own UI and Let's Encrypt for <KVITT_PUBLIC_HOST>, the router forward, the Gitea workflow, pulls from gitea.lan, Drive.

2026-10-18 (M2c-pi, D-104 to D-106, D-117): backup rehearsal with a local rclone remote: upload, lsf confirmation by name and size, local deletion only after both files were confirmed (D-002); files kept and last-success unchanged when the upload failed; the leftovers uploaded by the next good run; healthcheck green on a fresh start and after a run, red at 26 h. (The Caddy and cert-sync rehearsals of that day concern the removed stack.)

Gitea Actions workflow (.gitea/workflows/build-images.yaml)

Same setup as the owner's working example: runs-on: host, sh steps, apk add git docker-cli docker-cli-buildx, docker login gitea.lan with kvitt_cicd (a user-level secret of the repository owner, created by the owner; Gitea gives a repository its owner's secrets) and ${{ github.actor }}, a buildx builder whose buildkitd.toml sets http = true for gitea.lan (created once and reused, so its cache survives), actions/checkout@v4 with set-safe-directory and fetch-depth: 0, the version from the newest v1.0.* git tag plus one, and the git tag pushed after the build. That version is the KVITT_TAG the Pi's .env takes. The checkout is a cone-mode sparse checkout of server and infra/backup only, the two build contexts (neither Dockerfile copies anything outside its context), so the action fetches with --filter=blob:none and writes only those files instead of all 2118 (52 MB of Android screenshot goldens among them; about 95 s on the first runs). fetch-depth: 0 stays because the version needs every v1.0.* tag (commits and trees only, no blobs): with fetch-depth: 1, fetch-tags: true brings only tags that point at the fetched commit. The token is interpolated into the login step's run line (printf '%s' "${{ secrets.kvitt_cicd }}" | docker login ...), the owner's proven form: the first run on the runner (2026-10-19) got an empty token from the env-based form (env: REGISTRY_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.kvitt_cicd }}) on act_runner 0.6.1 and failed with "password is empty"; act_runner masks the secret in the log. That first run got as far as the login (container, apk add, checkout all worked). kvitt_cicd needs only the write:package scope: the tag push uses the credentials actions/checkout stored (the job's own token). If the "Tag and Push Version" step fails with a permission error, the job token cannot push tags on this Gitea; then add write:repository to the token (owner decision below). The step "Print image digests" prints each image's sha256: digest, which must match the digest the Pi pulled (Operations, "Image digests"; D-117).

The builder's buildkitd.toml is read only when the builder is created. After changing the registry setting in the workflow, remove the builder once on the runner Pi: docker buildx rm local-http-builder (this also drops its build cache, so the next server build is a full one).

Risk: the runner is a Raspberry Pi 3 with 1 GB RAM. The server image compiles about 232 Rust crates, aws-lc-sys's C code among them. The workflow passes --build-arg CARGO_BUILD_JOBS=1; it takes effect only once server/Dockerfile declares ARG CARGO_BUILD_JOBS in its build stage (requested from the server's owner; until then buildx warns about an unused build argument and cargo uses all four cores, which may run out of memory). The Dockerfile already keeps the cargo registry and target directory in BuildKit cache mounts, so only the first build is a full one. The first build's duration on the Pi is unknown (a cold arm64 build takes 48 s on the M4 Mac). If it fails for memory, add swap on the runner Pi, or build on the Mac with infra/build-images.sh.

Mac fallback: infra/build-images.sh [tag]

Builds the same two images for linux/arm64 and pushes them when infra/secrets/registry.env exists (KVITT_REGISTRY=gitea.lan/jacobh2, optional KVITT_REGISTRY_USER and KVITT_REGISTRY_TOKEN with write:package); otherwise it builds locally and prints the exact push commands. Tag: the short git SHA by default, plus latest. Refuses a dirty tree and does not build while a Gradle build holds the gradle-serial lock. With Podman (this Mac) it pushes with --tls-verify=false; with Docker it creates a buildx builder that allows plain HTTP to the registry.

Publishing an APK: infra/publish-apk.sh

Version rule (SPEC §10.6): version_code = git rev-list --count HEAD, version_name = YYYY.MM.DD-<short sha> of HEAD's commit date (Europe/Stockholm), passed as -Pkvitt.versionCode and -Pkvitt.versionName; the script reads KVITT_PUBLIC_HOST from infra/pi/.env (refusing a missing file or key or a CHANGE_ME value) and passes it as -Pkvitt.publicHost, the app's release server and invite-link host (D-121). The image tags of the Gitea workflow (v1.0.N) are separate and say nothing about the APK. The script refuses a dirty tree, builds :app:assembleRelease through tools/gradle-serial.sh (JDK 25 on PATH), refuses an unsigned APK, and writes into infra/pi/out/apk/: kvitt-<version_code>.apk, kvitt-<version_code>.mapping.txt (the R8 mapping, for reading stack traces; never served) and latest.json (temp file, then rename); it keeps the newest 5 APKs with their mappings. Then the owner, on the Mac, copies the APK first and latest.json last into the server's data/apk/ (the server reads latest.json on every GET /apk/latest, so it must never name a file that is not there yet):

cd /Users/jhag/projects/kvitt
scp infra/pi/out/apk/kvitt-<version_code>.apk jacobhagstedt@<kvitt-pi-address>:kvitt/data/apk/
scp infra/pi/out/apk/latest.json jacobhagstedt@<kvitt-pi-address>:kvitt/data/apk/
curl -s http://<kvitt-pi-address>:8080/apk/latest     # shows the new version_code

The mapping files stay on the Mac. Older APKs on the Pi are removed by hand when wanted (ssh jacobhagstedt@<kvitt-pi-address> ls kvitt/data/apk, then rm the old kvitt-<n>.apk files; about 10 MB each).

Pi: what the owner does

Kvitt runs from /home/jacobhagstedt/kvitt on the Kvitt Pi (D-125): compose.yaml, .env, secrets/ and the folders data/, backups/, import/. Nothing outside that folder is installed or changed. <kvitt-pi-address> is the Kvitt Pi's LAN IPv4 address (static DHCP lease; ASUS router web UI, LAN, DHCP Server, client list), also NPM's Forward Hostname / IP (step 4).

1. Prerequisites (already on the Pi)

• Docker Engine with the compose plugin, usable by jacobhagstedt without sudo: docker compose version prints a version.
• Registry trust: the images come over plain HTTP from gitea.lan. If docker compose pull says "http: server gave HTTP response to HTTPS client", add gitea.lan to insecure-registries in /etc/docker/daemon.json (the Pi already has it for another project; Kvitt never edits it).
• If docker compose pull says "unauthorized" (private packages): once, docker login gitea.lan with your Gitea user and a token with read:package (Gitea, Settings, Applications, Generate New Token).

2. On the Mac: .env, secrets, copy

cd /Users/jhag/projects/kvitt
cp infra/pi/.env.example infra/pi/.env
open -e infra/pi/.env            # set HA_HOST; KVITT_UID/KVITT_GID = `id -u` / `id -g` on the Pi (1000 for the first user)
mkdir -p infra/pi/secrets
cp infra/secrets/fcm-service-account.json infra/secrets/rclone.conf infra/pi/secrets/
scp -r infra/pi/compose.yaml infra/pi/.env infra/pi/secrets jacobhagstedt@<kvitt-pi-address>:kvitt/
rm -r infra/pi/secrets           # the originals stay in infra/secrets/

Key in infra/pi/.env	Value
HA_HOST	LAN IPv4 address of the Home Assistant Pi (NPM), for example 192.168.1.20, not homeassistant.local (router client list, or Home Assistant, Settings, System, Network)
KVITT_UID, KVITT_GID	id -u and id -g on the Kvitt Pi as jacobhagstedt (default 1000, 1000)
KVITT_TAG	v1.0.0, or the newest v1.0.N the Gitea workflow pushed (Gitea, the repository, Packages, kvitt-server)
KVITT_PUBLIC_HOST, KVITT_REGISTRY, RCLONE_FOLDER_ID	Already kvitt.suorra.duckdns.org, gitea.lan/jacobh2, 1jDp1dGE5R3H2DBcXCqIPN1iWzQnPkdlV

rclone.conf is generated from your rclone authorize "drive" (remote [gdrive], scope = drive); the Drive folder id is RCLONE_FOLDER_ID in .env. infra/pi/.env and infra/pi/secrets/ are git-ignored. To change compose.yaml or .env later, copy just that file again the same way.

3. On the Pi: start

cd ~/kvitt
chmod 700 secrets && chmod 600 secrets/*
mkdir -p data/apk backups import
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d
docker compose ps
curl -s localhost:8080/health

Expected: docker compose ps lists server (ports 0.0.0.0:8080->8080/tcp) and backup, both (healthy) within a minute; curl prints {"status":"ok",...,"db_ok":true}.

4. Nginx Proxy Manager on the Home Assistant Pi (already set up)

NPM terminates TLS for Kvitt with its own Let's Encrypt certificate for <KVITT_PUBLIC_HOST> and forwards plain HTTP over the home LAN to the Kvitt Pi's port 8080 (plain HTTP between the two Pis is accepted, D-120). First make sure <KVITT_PUBLIC_HOST> points at the home's public address (your DNS or DuckDNS page shows the same address as icehack.asuscomm.com). Let's Encrypt's HTTP-01 challenge reaches NPM through external port 80, which already works: it is how NPM got the certificate for Home Assistant. Serving Kvitt under a path of icehack.asuscomm.com (for example /kvitt/) is not supported. NPM listens on the default HTTPS port 443 for every proxy host and picks the host by the name the client asks for, so Kvitt and Home Assistant share that port (D-124).

Open NPM's web UI (Home Assistant, Settings, Add-ons, Nginx Proxy Manager, Open Web UI), then Hosts, Proxy Hosts, Add Proxy Host.

Details tab:

Field	Value
Domain Names	<KVITT_PUBLIC_HOST>
Scheme	http
Forward Hostname / IP	The Kvitt Pi's LAN IPv4 address (<kvitt-pi-address>)
Forward Port	8080
Cache Assets	off
Block Common Exploits	on
Websockets Support	off
Access List	Publicly Accessible

Custom Locations tab: leave empty.

SSL tab:

Field	Value
SSL Certificate	Request a new Certificate (Let's Encrypt, HTTP challenge: Use DNS Challenge off); Email address: yours; if a Let's Encrypt Terms of Service checkbox is shown, tick it
Force SSL	on
HTTP/2 Support	on
HSTS Enabled	on
HSTS Sub-domains	off
Trust Upstream Forwarded Proto Headers	off

Advanced tab, Custom Nginx Configuration: paste this block exactly (all of it, comments included):

# Kvitt (SPEC §10.5.2, D-120). NPM, Proxy Host <KVITT_PUBLIC_HOST>, Advanced tab, Custom Nginx Configuration.
# Server body: 1 MiB, PUT /me/picture 5 MiB (SPEC §8.6); the server answers anything larger with its own 413.
client_max_body_size 6m;
# No long-poll in the API (SPEC §14.3); 60 s between two reads from the server.
proxy_read_timeout 60s;
# Response headers (D-117). They live at server level, so no location below may use add_header (nginx would then
# drop all of these in it); NPM's HSTS line (SSL tab) sits at the same level. The server's own copy is hidden, so
# each header appears once (the landing page sends Referrer-Policy itself).
proxy_hide_header Content-Security-Policy;
proxy_hide_header X-Content-Type-Options;
proxy_hide_header X-Frame-Options;
proxy_hide_header Referrer-Policy;
add_header Content-Security-Policy "default-src 'none'; style-src 'unsafe-inline'; base-uri 'none'; form-action 'none'; frame-ancestors 'none'" always;
add_header X-Content-Type-Options nosniff always;
add_header X-Frame-Options DENY always;
add_header Referrer-Policy no-referrer always;
# Replaces NPM's own "location /" (NPM leaves it out when this field has one), whose add_header X-Served-By would
# drop the headers above. $forward_scheme, $server and $port are NPM's Details tab values.
location / {
  proxy_set_header Host $host;
  proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
  proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
  proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
  proxy_pass $forward_scheme://$server:$port$request_uri;
}
# Invite links /i/<code>?from=<name>: neither the code nor the inviter's name may reach a log (SPEC §8.7). NPM's
# access log format writes the whole $request_uri, query string included, so this path is not logged at all, and
# its error log (which would carry the request line on a 502) goes nowhere.
location ^~ /i/ {
  access_log off;
  error_log /dev/null crit;
  proxy_set_header Host $host;
  proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
  proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
  proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
  proxy_pass $forward_scheme://$server:$port$request_uri;
}

Save. The new row under Proxy Hosts shows the status Online and an SSL entry for Let's Encrypt (yes/no). Then on the Kvitt Pi:

curl -fsS --resolve <KVITT_PUBLIC_HOST>:443:<HA_HOST> https://<KVITT_PUBLIC_HOST>/health

It prints {"status":"ok",...} (no -k: this also checks the certificate).

Why the block has its own location /. nginx drops every add_header inherited from the server level in a location that has an add_header of its own, and NPM's default location / has one (X-Served-By), which would silently drop the four security headers (D-117). NPM leaves its default location out when the Custom Nginx Configuration contains location /, so the block brings its own without add_header; NPM's HSTS line from the SSL tab stays at server level and still applies. The block's proxy_pass uses NPM's Forward Hostname / IP and Forward Port, so change those on the Details tab as usual. If a later NPM release changes its proxy host template, check the headers again (Operations, "Headers through NPM").

What NPM logs (SPEC §8.7). NPM writes one access log line per request to /data/logs/proxy-host-<id>_access.log inside NPM, in its proxy format: time, cache and upstream status, status, method, scheme, host, "$request_uri" (the path with its query string), [Client <address>], length, gzip ratio, [Sent-to <kvitt-pi-address>], user agent and referer. It logs no request headers, so the Authorization token is never logged. Query strings are logged for every path except /i/; the other query parameters of the API are since and limit (GET /sync) and size and v (pictures), which hold no personal content. /i/<code>?from=<name> is not logged at all: the block turns the access log off for /i/ and sends its error log to /dev/null, so neither the invite code nor the inviter's name reaches a log. Errors on other paths (for example a 502 while the server is down) go to proxy-host-<id>_error.log with the request line.

HSTS. HSTS tells a browser to use only HTTPS for <KVITT_PUBLIC_HOST>, on every port, for two years (max-age=63072000; preload, NPM's value), and to refuse certificate warnings for it. Because the name is Kvitt's own, nothing else is affected; but if you ever serve anything else under <KVITT_PUBLIC_HOST> (any port), it must be HTTPS with a valid certificate too, and turning HSTS off later does not clear browsers that already stored it. The app itself does not rely on HSTS (release builds allow no cleartext, SPEC §8.5); it protects the landing page in a browser.

Accepted: NPM trusts X-Real-IP from the LAN. NPM's nginx.conf takes the client address from X-Real-IP when the connection comes from 10/8, 172.16/12, 192.168/16 (and the CDN ranges it downloads), so a device on the home LAN can choose its own client address for the rate limits. Internet clients arrive with their public address (the router's forward keeps the source address), so their X-Real-IP is ignored.

5. Router: no new rule

No new rule (D-124): external TCP 443 already reaches the Home Assistant Pi (NPM) for Home Assistant, and NPM picks Kvitt's proxy host by name on the same port. Verify it exists: ASUS router web UI, WAN, Virtual Server / Port Forwarding: the list has a TCP rule with External Port 443 and Internal IP Address <HA_HOST> (yes/no). Nothing is forwarded to the Kvitt Pi: remove a rule to <kvitt-pi-address> if you made one for the Caddy version, and a rule with External Port 8443 if you made one for the earlier NPM version (D-120). Then on the phone with Wi-Fi off, open https://<KVITT_PUBLIC_HOST>/health in Chrome: it shows "status":"ok" without a certificate warning (yes/no).

6. From outside, first backup, bootstrap

On the phone with Wi-Fi off (or from the Mac), https://kvitt.suorra.duckdns.org/health shows "status":"ok" (yes/no). Then on the Pi:

cd ~/kvitt
docker compose exec backup /backup.sh                 # ends with "backup: ok <stamp>" after "uploaded and confirmed on Drive" twice
docker compose exec server kvitt-server bootstrap     # first install only: prints the admin invite code, link and expiry

The invite link starts with https://<KVITT_PUBLIC_HOST>/i/ (no port). The release app opens such links and connects to that host only once its Android build carries the host name (kvitt.publicHost, D-121) and the default port 443 (D-124; builds made for port 8443 do not match a link without a port): tell the orchestrator before pairing a release build. The partner's invite, once the admin is paired: docker compose exec server kvitt-server invite-partner.

7. Deploying a new version

After the Gitea workflow pushed v1.0.N (or infra/build-images.sh printed a tag), on the Pi:

cd ~/kvitt
docker compose exec backup /backup.sh                 # backup first, every deploy: any tag may carry a migration (SPEC §10.10)
sed -i 's/^KVITT_TAG=.*/KVITT_TAG=v1.0.N/' .env       # or edit .env; note the previous tag for a rollback
docker compose pull && docker compose up -d
docker compose ps && curl -s localhost:8080/health

Continue only when the backup ended with backup: ok. The images come over plain HTTP from gitea.lan (D-001), so compare the pulled digests (Operations, "Image digests") with the workflow's "Print image digests" step for that run (D-117). Rollback: set the previous tag in .env the same way and run docker compose pull && docker compose up -d; if a migration had partially applied, restore the pre-deploy backup (infra/RESTORE.md).

Fallback (SPEC §10.5.3): when NPM is down

• NPM or the Home Assistant Pi down means Kvitt is unreachable from outside, and also from home over https://<KVITT_PUBLIC_HOST> (that path goes through NPM too); Home Assistant is then unreachable from outside as well (same NPM, same port 443). The server on the Kvitt Pi keeps running and nothing there needs to change. The phones keep working on their full local copy and sync when NPM is back.
• On the home Wi-Fi only debug builds can reach the server directly, at http://<kvitt-pi-address>:8080 (AC-2.8 allows http:// to private LAN addresses in debug builds only). Release builds require HTTPS with a publicly trusted certificate (SPEC §8.5) and cannot use that address: there is no LAN fallback for the release app. A debug build is a separate app (se.hagstedt.kvitt.debug) with its own pairing and data, not a stand-in for the release app.
• If NPM cannot renew the Let's Encrypt certificate: fix it in NPM (SSL Certificates, the certificate, Renew Now; port 80 must reach NPM). The pinned-root switch of the app (kvitt.tls.pinnedRoot, D-082) still exists for a self-made root whose certificate would be uploaded to NPM as a Custom certificate; it is not prepared: tell the orchestrator.

Operations (SPEC §10.10), on the Pi in ~/kvitt

Task	Command
Status	docker compose ps
Logs	docker compose logs --tail 100 <server or backup>; NPM's own log files are inside NPM on the Home Assistant Pi
Backup now	docker compose exec backup /backup.sh (ends with backup: ok <stamp>)
Upgrade	Step 7: backup, set KVITT_TAG in .env, docker compose pull && docker compose up -d
Roll back	Set the previous KVITT_TAG in .env, docker compose pull && docker compose up -d
Health through NPM	curl -fsS --resolve <KVITT_PUBLIC_HOST>:443:<HA_HOST> https://<KVITT_PUBLIC_HOST>/health
Headers through NPM	curl -sS -D - -o /dev/null --resolve <KVITT_PUBLIC_HOST>:443:<HA_HOST> https://<KVITT_PUBLIC_HOST>/health lists content-security-policy, x-content-type-options, x-frame-options, referrer-policy, strict-transport-security once each and no x-served-by
Certificate expiry and issuer	echo | openssl s_client -connect <HA_HOST>:443 -servername <KVITT_PUBLIC_HOST> 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -noout -enddate -issuer (NPM renews it; NPM, SSL Certificates shows the same)
Partner invite	docker compose exec server kvitt-server invite-partner
Extra device invite	docker compose exec server kvitt-server pair-device --user <user_id>
Memory	docker stats --no-stream (server RSS under 100 MB with both phones syncing)
Disk	df -h ~ and du -sh ~/kvitt/*; SQLite a few MB, pictures under 1 MB, APKs about 10 MB each since R8, 5 kept
Image digests	docker compose images names the images; docker image inspect --format '{{.RepoDigests}}' gitea.lan/jacobh2/kvitt-server:<tag> (and kvitt-backup) prints the sha256: digest to compare with the workflow's
Client IPs are real (once, after step 5)	Open https://<KVITT_PUBLIC_HOST>/health on the phone with Wi-Fi off, then within a minute on the Kvitt Pi sudo apt install -y conntrack (once) and sudo conntrack -L -p tcp --orig-port-dst 8080: in every line the first src= is <HA_HOST> and the second half (from the second src=) has dst=<HA_HOST>, no 172.* there, so the server sees NPM's address and trusts its X-Forwarded-For. If the second half shows a 172.* address instead, every internet client shares one per-IP limit (SPEC §8.6): tell the orchestrator
Restore	infra/RESTORE.md

APK downloads (security review L-3, D-119). GET /apk/files/<name> is public (the landing page links it) and about 11 MB per response; the server allows 10 per minute per client IP. If one address still fetches /apk/files/ over and over (NPM's access log), disable Kvitt's proxy host in NPM (Hosts, Proxy Hosts, the row's menu, Disable) until it stops; the router's 443 forward also serves Home Assistant, so leave it in place.

Owner decisions (open)

Backup encryption (security review M-1) is decided: no rclone crypt, the drive scope stays (SPEC §8.7, 2026-10-19).

1. Gitea token scope. Does the workflow's tag push work with kvitt_cicd limited to write:package? If not, is adding write:repository acceptable?
2. Kvitt's host name (D-120). Which name is <KVITT_PUBLIC_HOST>? It goes into the release app and docs/HANDOFF.md.

Troubleshooting

• The step 4 check says /health through NPM failed: "Could not resolve host" or "SSL certificate problem": the proxy host has no certificate for <KVITT_PUBLIC_HOST> yet (SSL tab) or a different name; a 502 Bad Gateway: NPM cannot reach <kvitt-pi-address>:8080 (wrong Forward Hostname / IP or Forward Port, or the server is down: docker compose ps); the Home Assistant page instead of {"status":"ok"}: Domain Names does not match the name you requested (NPM fell back to another host).
• "Request a new Certificate" fails in NPM: <KVITT_PUBLIC_HOST> does not point at the home's public address yet, or external port 80 does not reach NPM.
• Pull fails with "http: server gave HTTP response to HTTPS client": gitea.lan is missing from insecure-registries (step 1; check with docker info | grep -A3 'Insecure Registries').
• Pull fails with "unauthorized": the packages are private; docker login gitea.lan once (step 1).
• docker compose up says "bind source path does not exist" for a file in secrets/: the file was not copied; copy it (step 2) and run docker compose up -d again.
• The server or backup log says "Permission denied" or "readonly database" on /data or /backups: the folder was created by Docker as root, or KVITT_UID/KVITT_GID differ from the folder's owner: ls -ln ~/kvitt shows the owner, id -u / id -g yours; sudo chown -R "$(id -u):$(id -g)" ~/kvitt/data ~/kvitt/backups ~/kvitt/import once.
