obsidian: self-hosted vault sync via CouchDB on jupiter
Adds services/dev/obsidian-livesync.nix — CouchDB 3 from the native
nixpkgs module, tuned as the backend for the Self-hosted LiveSync plugin
— and publishes it as notes.mgaction.town through neptun.
It goes out over the public reverse proxy rather than staying on the LAN
because Obsidian's mobile apps refuse cleartext HTTP and *.jupiter.sol
cannot hold a publicly trusted cert. That makes the hardening load-bearing
rather than decorative:
- require_valid_user in both [chttpd] and [chttpd_auth], so nothing
answers unauthenticated on the open internet;
- neptun's vhost matches on CouchDB's own naming rule (system endpoints
all begin with `_`, user databases never can), so Fauxton, /_all_dbs
and /_node/_local/_config — which rewrites the server config given
admin credentials — 404 at the proxy while any number of per-vault
databases pass. Verified against both sets of paths with caddy run
against a stub backend;
- the plugin's own E2EE carries the actual confidentiality: jupiter only
ever stores ciphertext. Its passphrase is deliberately NOT in sops —
it never leaves the clients, and pairing it with the server credential
would defeat the point.
flush_interval -1 is required, not tuning: replication rides a continuous
_changes feed that caddy would otherwise buffer into a stall.
Storage sits on the array with RequiresMountsFor, since a CouchDB that
starts without /mnt/data would create an empty database on the eMMC and
LiveSync would replicate that emptiness back to every client. Logs go to
journald rather than the unrotated /var/log/couchdb.log, for the same
29G-eMMC reasons as the rest of jupiter.
The admin password reaches CouchDB as an [admins] ini fragment via
extraConfigFiles; services.couchdb.adminPass would have rendered it into
the world-readable store.
