nixpkgs only carries Zitadel 2.71, which predates the login-v2 split and
cannot take a v3/v4 database (its migrations are forward-only), so the
instance running on the old Debian VPS could never have moved onto it.
authentik-nix ships 2026.5.4 and tracks upstream closely.
The authentik-nix input deliberately does not follow our nixpkgs, per
upstream's warning that overriding it breaks their pinned python
dependency set. That costs a second nixpkgs in the lock, so add
nix-community's Cachix to common.nix -- without it the closure is ~400
local derivations (npm, rust, python). The laptop that runs
scripts/deploy needs the same two lines in /etc/nix/nix.custom.conf.
Authentik's own module creates the database and orders its units against
postgresql.target, and recent versions need no redis, so the wiring is
just the module plus a secret. Pin postgresql explicitly so that editing
system.stateVersion can never silently demand a pg_upgrade of the
identity store.
Secret ownership is not uniform and the difference matters: authentik
and caddy take a systemd EnvironmentFile, which PID 1 reads as root
before dropping privileges, so root:root 0400 is correct. Headplane
opens its secret paths itself while already running as the headscale
user, so those three need an explicit owner or they fail to start.
Also on neptun:
- Pass Caddy's ACME account email through the same EnvironmentFile
mechanism and reference it with the Caddyfile {$VAR} placeholder.
services.caddy.email would render the address into the world-readable
store.
- Stop accepting MagicDNS from our own control server. headscale pushes
override_local_dns, so joining the tailnet would point neptun's
resolv.conf at a MagicDNS served by the tailscaled neptun itself hosts
-- a tailscaled failure would then also take out DNS, ACME renewal and
finally the certs for the control server every other node needs in
order to recover.
- Give headplane a writable DNS extra-records file. Its view of
headscale's config stays read-only, which is the right outcome for a
declarative box; records are data rather than config.
- Require a password for sudo. Deploys become interactive, but darman's
key is otherwise the only thing between the public internet and root.
- Enable zram (8 GB, and disko leaves no room for a swap device), and let
tailscaled-autoconnect retry instead of failing permanently when the
control server isn't up yet on a first boot.
networking.hosts still carries a PLACEHOLDER address for jupiter --
replace it from `headscale nodes list` once jupiter first enrols.

- sabnzbd, prowlarr, sonarr, radarr, clonarr, seerr, cinephage, mediamanager
services, wired into jupiter with LAN Caddy vhosts.
- Gitea: migrated the old ZimaOS docker instance's data (sqlite db, 4 repos,
no LFS objects) into the NixOS module's default stateDir layout. HTTP via
Caddy; git SSH on its own built-in server at :2222 (not :222 - the unpriv
gitea user can't bind <1024).
- mediamanager-nix flake input for the mediamanager service.

- add nixos-images input; nixosConfigurations.kexec bakes in the ssh login key
- build via config.system.build.kexecInstallerTarball
- deploy: ./deploy kexec <host> streams the installer to /tmp and kexecs
- works around ZimaOS RO root where nixos-anywhere ssh-copy-id fails

- add sops-nix input + module (jupiter only, not the VM)
- secrets/jupiter.yaml: age-encrypted samba_password (safe to commit)
- .sops.yaml: encryption rule for admin age key
- secrets.nix: decrypt samba_password to /run/secrets on the host
- provisioning oneshot reads sops secret (host) or plaintext (VM), single value
- .sops private key stays off-repo (~/.config, /var/lib/sops-nix on host)

- add disko input; jupiter partitions/formats OS disk declaratively
- hardware-configuration.nix carries kernel modules only (disko owns fileSystems)
- data disk stays a plain unformatted mount, out of disko
- vbox unchanged (virtualbox-image supplies its own disk)
- README: nixos-anywhere remote install + daily rebuild loop

- systemd oneshot sets SMB password after samba-smbd (activation ran too early)
- caddy vhost reverse_proxy to whoami so :80 actually serves
- vm.nix: throwaway SMB secret for testing; real host uses sops/agenix
