{ config, ... }:
# CouchDB, tuned as the backend for Obsidian Self-hosted LiveSync
# (vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync). The plugin replicates the vault into CouchDB
# chunk-by-chunk over PouchDB's replication protocol, so this is a plain
# CouchDB 3 node — nothing Obsidian-specific runs here.
#
# Published PUBLICLY as https://notes.mgaction.town via neptun's caddy (see
# hosts/neptun/configuration.nix), because Obsidian's mobile apps refuse
# cleartext HTTP and jupiter's *.jupiter.sol names cannot get a real cert.
# That makes the settings below security-relevant, not cosmetic:
#
# - `require_valid_user` in BOTH [chttpd] and [chttpd_auth]: without it
# CouchDB answers unauthenticated GETs on the open internet.
# - neptun's vhost allowlists only the endpoints the plugin uses, so Fauxton
# (/_utils) and the cluster/config endpoints are not reachable from
# outside at all — reach them over the tailnet instead.
# - Turn ON end-to-end encryption in the plugin (Settings → Remote Database
# → End-to-End Encryption, plus "Obfuscate Properties", which covers the
# paths and timestamps that E2EE alone leaves readable). Then this server
# only ever holds ciphertext, which is what makes a publicly-reachable
# credentialed database an acceptable trade rather than a bad one.
#
# Its passphrase is a SEPARATE secret from couchdb_admin_password below —
# deliberately, and it must stay that way. The couchdb password
# authenticates to this server and is stored here (hashed) and in
# secrets/jupiter.yaml; the E2EE passphrase never leaves the Obsidian
# clients and CouchDB has no idea it exists. Reusing one string for both
# hands whoever obtains that credential the decryption key as well, which
# is precisely the failure E2EE is here to prevent. The passphrase is
# therefore NOT in sops (nothing on this host consumes it) — it lives in
# the HomeLab Proton Pass vault, with the deploy credentials.
#
# Losing it costs the remote database, not the notes: wipe it and
# re-initialize from a device that still holds the plaintext vault.

#
# ⚠️ CouchDB hashes a plaintext admin password at startup and persists the
# hash to the LAST, writable file in its ini chain — local.ini above,
# which then takes precedence over this fragment. So changing the sops
# value alone does NOT rotate the password: delete the `[admins]` line
# from /mnt/data/AppData/couchdb/local.ini and restart as well.
