## Container isolation
`services.hyperhive.network.isolateContainers` (default `false`) flips
agent containers from shared host netns to private netns. Set only after
`enable = true` is stable in production — an assertion blocks the reverse.
### What the nix side does when `isolateContainers = true`
| effect | mechanism |
|---|---|
| IP forwarding | `boot.kernel.sysctl."net.ipv4.ip_forward" = 1` |
| Internet NAT | `networking.nat { enable = true; internalInterfaces = [ bridgeName ]; }` — MASQUERADE on packets leaving via any external NIC |
| Loopback DROP | `networking.firewall.extraInputRules` — drops bridge-subnet → `127.0.0.0/8` traffic; defence-in-depth against routing table leaks |
| c0re signal | `HIVE_NETWORK_ISOLATION=1`, `HIVE_NETWORK_BRIDGE`, `HIVE_NETWORK_SUBNET` in `systemd.services.hive-c0re.environment` |
`HIVE_NETWORK_SUBNET` is the host-side bridge IP + prefix (e.g.
`10.42.0.1/24`), **not** the canonical network address. The Rust side
must normalise (bitwise-AND with mask) before subnet membership checks or
address arithmetic.
### What the Rust side does
`hive-c0re` reads `HIVE_NETWORK_ISOLATION` and, when set, passes
`PRIVATE_NETWORK=1`, `LOCAL_ADDRESS=<deterministic-ip>`, and
`HOST_BRIDGE=<bridgeName>` via `lifecycle::set_nspawn_flags` when
creating or updating containers. Each agent gets a deterministic IP
derived from its name so the address is reproducible across destroy/recreate.
### Prerequisites before flipping on
- All agents must have `hyperhive.web.useUnixSocket = true`. Agents that
still bind TCP on `0.0.0.0:<port>` will be reachable at their bridge IP
from other agents on the same subnet — defeating the isolation goal. The
gateway routes via unix sockets so gateway reach is unaffected.
### Migration behaviour
Containers are destroyed and re-created when the flag flips. Agent state
under `/agents/<name>/state/` is bind-mounted and survives; the container
rootfs is recreated cleanly from the nix store.
## Cross-references
- `docs/gateway.md` — vhost map + the gateway container's other duties

isolateContainers = lib.mkOption {

description = ''
Flip agent containers from shared host netns to private netns
(#14). When true, each agent container gets a dedicated veth
pair attached to `bridgeName` and a deterministic IP from
the bridge subnet. The bridge (already up when `enable = true`)
becomes the sole routed path between the host and agent
containers.
The host-side nix effect (this option) is:
- Sets `HIVE_NETWORK_ISOLATION=1` in the c0re service env so
the Rust lifecycle knows to pass `--private-network` +
bridge settings when creating/updating containers.
- Enables IP forwarding + NAT so agents can reach the internet
through the host.
- Adds a firewall rule DROP'ing traffic from the bridge subnet
to the host's loopback addresses defence-in-depth so a
compromised agent can't reach the c0re dashboard (already
bound to 127.0.0.1) or other host-loopback services even if
the routing table somehow leaks.
- Allows HTTP/HTTPS (80/443) traffic from the bridge subnet to
the host so agents can reach the gateway container (shared
host netns, proxies the operator's per-agent UI).
**Prerequisite**: all agents must have
`hyperhive.web.useUnixSocket = true` before enabling isolation.
Agents that still bind TCP on `0.0.0.0:<port>` will be
reachable at their bridge IP from other agents on the same
subnet defeating the isolation goal. The gateway routes via
unix sockets so gateway reach still works regardless.
**Migration**: containers are destroyed and re-created when
the network isolation flag flips. Operator state under
`/agents/<name>/state/` is bind-mounted and survives; the
container rootfs (nix store paths) is recreated cleanly.
**Rust counterpart**: `hive-c0re` reads `HIVE_NETWORK_ISOLATION`
and `HIVE_NETWORK_BRIDGE` from its service env and uses them in
`lifecycle::set_nspawn_flags` to configure `PRIVATE_NETWORK`,
`LOCAL_ADDRESS`, and `HOST_BRIDGE` in each container's
`nixos-containers/<name>.conf`. See `docs/network.md` for the
full design.
