The metrics store's container now runs the journal forwarder the other
service containers run, pushing to a receiver of its own on the swarm
collector (serviceProducers swarm-victoriametrics) as a new machine OIDC
client (swarm.victoriametrics.otel.clientId), registered by a glue file
wherever authelia runs and published to the store by the secret publisher.
The container keeps its loopback-only netns. The collector cannot dial a
unix socket, so swarm-victoriametrics-egress-relay, a socket-activated
systemd-socket-proxyd inside the container, takes its connections on
127.0.0.1:4380 and passes them to /run/swarm-victoriametrics-egress/egress.sock.
The host's nginx listens there and sends /swarm-victoriametrics/ to the swarm
collector and /api/oidc/token to authelia, both by name and verified, and
refuses every other path. nginx gets ReadWritePaths on that directory and
removes a stale socket before it starts.
The container cannot reach the store, so the client secret is fetched on the
host by swarm-victoriametrics-forwarder-oidc under swarm-metrics-auth's leaf,
the shape swarm-bao-forwarder-oidc has, and bound into the container
read-only. The forwarder module gains hostSecretFile for that: set, it renders
no fetch unit. swarm-metrics-auth's policy gains one read stanza on the
forwarder's client path.
The container drops --link-journal=host, and the host collector stops reading
it.
Also lists the forge publisher's and matrix-ctl's leaves in the forwarder
secrets row of docs/swarm/secrets.md, which the hive-forge/hive-matrix change
missed.
The swarm-nats container now runs its own otel collector, which reads the
container's journal and pushes it to the swarm collector at
https://<swarm.otel.domain>/swarm-nats, authenticated as the queue's
existing OIDC client (swarm.nats.clientId). Records carry
service.name=nats and no hive label.
The collector lives in a reusable container module,
nix/container-modules/swarm-journal-forwarder.nix, which follows
swarm-bao's forwarder: a journald receiver over /var/log/journal with
merge and a file_storage cursor, an otlphttp exporter with an
oauth2client authenticator that requests its own client id as audience,
self-metrics on a loopback telemetry port, and the client secret handed
in through LoadCredential. Unlike swarm-bao, the secret is fetched inside
the container by swarm-journal-forwarder-oidc.service, under the
container's own store identity (the swarm-nats-auth leaf, which already
holds a read grant on secret/swarm/services/swarm-nats/oidc/client).
The fetch retries until the store answers, and the collector restarts
until the file exists. A 10-minute timer re-reads the secret and restarts
the collector when it changed.
The swarm collector's authenticated producer route was hard-wired to
swarm-bao. It is now rendered from swarm.otel.serviceProducers
(internal), one receiver, oidc authenticator, gateway location and
pipeline entry per service: swarm-bao (port 4391, unchanged names) and
swarm-nats (port 4392). The reserved-fragment and port-collision
assertions cover every entry.
The queue's OIDC client registration gains its own id as audience and
RS256-signed access tokens, which the receiver verifies offline.
swarm-nats drops --link-journal=host, so its journal stays in the guest
where the forwarder reads it, as swarm-bao did in 44009dc51. The new
swarm.nats.otel.telemetryPort (8891) keeps the forwarder off the
collectors' 8888-8890 in the shared host netns, with an assertion.
module-eval-nats-authelia gains four cases: the container's forwarder
and fetch unit on the store host and on a queue-only host, the
responder role's read grant, the swarm collector's swarm-nats receiver
on a host without the queue, and the client registration.
