mara, in preparation for the swarm tier: the store is a swarm-level
role, not a hive one, so hive- was misleading about which tier it
belongs to. Module, units, syslog identifier, log lines and docs all
move to swarm-snapshot-store.
Also moved the option under services.hyperhive.swarm.snapshotStore, to
sit with swarm.peers and swarm.wireguard rather than dangling off the
top level. That is a judgement call beyond the literal rename — flagged
on the PR, and cheap precisely now: the option has never shipped, so
there is no deployment to migrate, whereas doing it after a release
would be a breaking change for no new benefit.
mara asked, and the file had already stopped being one thing: after
the gate moved off c0re.enable, swarm.nix held two concerns with
different audiences and different gates.
swarm.nix now declares WHO the peers are — data hive-c0re serialises
into HYPERHIVE_PEERS and the dashboard renders. Declaration only, no
config block.
swarm-wireguard.nix owns the mesh: assertions, the wg-hive interface,
the firewall port. That is plain host networking, and a machine which
runs no hive at all — the snapshot store — still needs it. Under the
old layout a reader could not tell which half of swarm.nix applied to
a non-hive host.
The two stay coupled by data, not by structure: the per-peer
wireguard* fields stay on the peer submodule, because that is where a
peer is described, and the mesh module reads them.
No behaviour change — same options, same gate, same rendered config.
P1 of the storage backend: hives push agent snapshots over the
WireGuard mesh that swarm.nix already brings up. No controller
dependency — a btrfs subvolume tree, a socket-activated receiver, and
the existing mesh.
The mesh is the authentication. Cryptokey routing already binds a
peer's source address to its public key (allowedIPs = [
peer.wireguardAddress ]), so the store adds no key material and no
certs; anything else would authenticate the same fact twice.
Destination is keyed per AGENT, not per hive: after a migration the
same agent's next incremental send arrives from a different hive, and
a per-hive prefix would split its snapshot chain and break the
incremental parent lookup — the exact case this store exists to serve.
The sender unavoidably contributes the agent name (a btrfs stream
carries no such notion, and the subvolume name inside it is the
sender's). So the receiver owns the destination root and VALIDATES the
sender-supplied leaf against a whitelist charset — no slash, no dot,
so neither traversal nor an absolute path can survive it.
ListenStream binds this host's mesh address, never a wildcard, and
that is asserted rather than commented: bound to 0.0.0.0 the socket
would be an unauthenticated remote write into agent state.
swarm.nix: the mesh config moves off the c0re.enable gate onto
swarm.wireguard.enable. The mesh is host networking, not a c0re
feature — a swarm host that runs no hive (this store) previously got
no wg-hive interface at all. Nothing in that block was c0re-specific;
the peer data c0re consumes is rendered in hive-c0re and stays gated
there.
Confinement is deliberately not in the module: it is a property of the
deployment (a dedicated VM, or a container in the all-local case). The
systemd hardening is defence in depth only — btrfs receive needs
CAP_SYS_ADMIN, which can mount() its way out of the namespace those
directives set up. The `dedicated` option turns "this host runs
nothing else" into an assertion the build checks instead of an
assumption the deployer remembers.
