# ❄️ infrastructure
The dgnum infrastructure.
# Contributing
Some instruction on how to contribute are available (in french) in [/CONTRIBUTE.md](CONTRIBUTE.md).
You're expected to read this document before commiting to the repo.
Some documentation for the development tools are provided in the aforementioned file.
# Adding a new machine
The first step is to create a minimal viable NixOS host, using tha means necessary.
The second step is to find a name for this host, it must be unique from the other hosts.
> [!TIP]
> For the rest of this part, we assume that the host is named `host02`
## Download the keys
The public SSH keys of `host02` have to be saved to `keys/machines/host02.keys`, preferably only the `ssh-ed25519` one.
It can be retreived with :
```bash
ssh-keyscan address.of.host02 2>/dev/null | awk '/ssh-ed25519/ {print $2,$3}'
```
## Initialize the machine folder and configuration
- Create a folder `host02` under `machines/`
- Copy the hardware configuration file generated by `nixos-generate-config` to `machines/host02/_hardware-configuration.nix`
- Create a `machines/host02/_configuration.nix` file, it will contain the main configuration options, the basic content of this file should be the following
```nix
{ lib, ... }:
lib.extra.mkConfig {
enabledModules = [
# List of modules to enable
];
enabledServices = [
# List of services to enable
];
extraConfig = {
services.netbird.enable = true;
};
root = ./.;
}
```
## Fill in the metadata
### Network configuration
The network is declared in `meta/network.nix`, the necessary `hostId` value can be generated with :
```bash
head -c4 /dev/urandom | od -A none -t x4 | sed 's/ //'
```
### Other details
The general metadata is declared in `meta/nodes.nix`, the main values to declare are :
- `site`, where the node is physically located
- `stateVersion`
- `nixpkgs`, the nixpkgs version to use
## Initialize secrets
Create the directory `secrets` in the configuration folder, and add a `secrets.nix` file containing :
```nix
let
lib = import ../../../lib { };
in
lib.setDefault { publicKeys = lib.getNodeKeys "host02"; } [ ]
```
This will be used for future secret management.
## Update encrypted files
Both the Arkheon, Netbox and notification modules have secrets that are deployed on all machines. To make those services work correctly, run in `modules/dgn-records`, `modules/dgn-netbox-agent` and `modules/dgn-notify` :
```bash
agenix -r
```
## Commit and create a PR
Once all of this is done, check that the configuration builds correctly :
```bash
colmena build --on host02
```
Apply it, and create a Pull Request.
