The bao UI at bao-ui.<swarm> took a raw store token and nothing else.
It now offers an OIDC tab: authelia's `admins` group logs in and lands
on `swarm-operator-viewer`, which is list+read on `secret/metadata/*`
and nothing under `secret/data/` or `sys/`.
- authelia registers an interactive client `swarm-bao-ui`
(glue-bao-ui-oidc-client.nix) with redirect
`https://bao-ui.<swarm>/ui/vault/auth/oidc/oidc/callback`; the secret
publisher carries its secret to
`secret/swarm/services/swarm-bao-ui/oidc/client`.
- `swarm-bao-granter-role` (bootstrap token) enables the `oidc` auth
mount with listing visibility `unauth`, asked before attempted like
cert/approle; `bao-bootstrap-policy.hcl` gains `sys/auth/oidc`.
- The granter's policy gains `auth/oidc/config`, `auth/oidc/role/swarm-*`
and read on that one secret leaf. It still holds no `sys/auth`.
- New granting unit `swarm-bao-operator-viewer-policy` writes the viewer
policy, and once the granter may configure `auth/oidc/config` (checked
through `sys/capabilities-self`), writes the mount's config from the
published secret and the role binding `groups=admins` to the viewer.
Before the bootstrap step re-runs it writes the policy, logs the step
and exits 0.
Route (a) per mara on #4775: enabling the auth method stays a
bootstrap-token step, re-run once on the live store.
module-eval pins the viewer policy's single metadata stanza, that the
granter's policy has no sys/auth path, the oidc enable in the bootstrap
unit, the exit-0 path, the config/role contents, and the client
registration + publish.
The controller's OIDC client secret (client `swarm-controller`, used for
the queue connection, the auth-bridge bearer and the OTLP push) came from
an operator-placed file, `deploy.swarm-controller.queue.clientSecretFile`,
handed in by `LoadCredential=`.
Now `swarm-secret-publish`, which already copies authelia's minted OIDC
secrets into the store, also publishes this one, to
`swarm/controller/swarm-controller/oidc/client`. That path sits under
`controller/`, which no hive's policy reads. The controller reads it once
at start with its existing store certificate and holds it in memory, as
`swarm_queue_client::ClientSecret::Value`. If the store is down, it
retries for about a minute and then fails the start, so `Restart=` tries
again.
Policy delta: the controller gets `read` on that leaf, and the publisher
gets `create`/`update` on that leaf.
Removed: the `queue.clientSecretFile` option (both spellings, now removed
options with a message), its singleHostSwarm default, the credential and
placeholder, and the path watcher plus its restart oneshot. A controller
without a store identity is now an eval error, because it has no other
way to get the secret.
bao's metrics were scraped by the SWARM collector over loopback, via a
`swarm.otel.scrapeTargets.bao` entry gated on `deploy.swarm-otel.enable`
— "does the swarm's collector run on THIS host". It had to be: loopback
only reaches a reader that landed on the same host.
What that rendered everywhere else was nothing at all. Off that host the
metrics listener was not emitted, so the store's metrics reached the
store nowhere, and a host with no entry is indistinguishable from a host
nobody asked to scrape.
Moves the scrape into the collector this container already runs, per
mara on #4537: "move the existing scraper to the local collector". The
container shares the host netns (privateNetwork = false), so the scrape
still dials 127.0.0.1 — the listener keeps its address, its
`metrics_only` narrowing and its loopback-only bind, and the API
listener's `tls_require_and_verify_client_cert` is untouched.
The listener and its `prometheus_retention_time` lose their gate: the
reader ships with the store now, so there is no host where the endpoint
has none. The metrics pipeline reuses the logs pipeline's `resource`
processor and `otlphttp` exporter, so both signals carry the same
`service.name` and leave by the one hop.
Logs are unaffected: `journaldUnits` and --link-journal=host stay until
every sibling swarm container has a collector of its own.
The module-eval absence arm "a store with no collector beside it serves
no metrics" is inverted rather than dropped — the condition it asserted
is the bug. Three cases join it: the job is in swarm-bao AND gone from
swarm-otel (a move, not a copy), the scrape target and listener are both
pinned to loopback, and the metrics pipeline shares its exporter with
the logs one.
The single module-eval derivation forced ~62 full nixosSystem
fixtures live at once to compute its cases list: 10.6GB peak RSS /
5m25s to evaluate, by far the dominant cost in nix flake check.
Splits it into 21 independent checks.module-eval-* derivations
(1-7 fixtures each) sharing builders/helpers via module-eval/lib.nix,
so no single derivation needs more than a handful of fixtures live
at once. A few cases spanning two clusters carry a small duplicated
fixture rather than threading shared state through lib.nix.
