- swarm.serviceDomains lists every swarm service name on every host. The
store's issuing role is built from it, so the store now admits a leaf
for grafana, metrics, otel, logs, the bao UI and the apex whichever host
runs the store. Each gateway's own leaf stays narrowed by
localServiceDomains.
- swarm.matrix.apiUrl defaults to http://<swarm.matrix.gatewayHost>
(null when gatewayHost is null) instead of loopback on the matrix host.
- The authelia vhost proxies /bridge/ to swarm-authelia-bridge with the
prefix stripped, and deploy.swarm-controller.authBridgeUrl defaults to
${swarm.authelia.url}/bridge on every host. swarm.authelia.bridgeUrl is
removed.
- swarm-authelia-bridge admits only swarm-controller's OIDC client on
every request (403 for any other active token), configured by
SWARM_AUTHELIA_BRIDGE_CONTROLLER_CLIENT_ID (renamed from
..._OPERATOR_READER_CLIENT_ID, which gated ListOperators alone).
- swarm.peerHives is removed; swarm-wireguard.nix filters this host's own
hive out of swarm.hives itself.
Closes #4933

swarm-authelia-bridge
The only thing allowed to write swarm-authelia's users database.
Why this exists
swarm-controller's CreateIdentity job needs to add an agent as an
authelia subject, but swarm-controller runs unprivileged and does not own
users.yml — a different uid does (authelia-swarm, the user
services.authelia.instances.swarm runs as). Root/CAP_CHOWN/a shared
group were all examined and rejected during this crate's design thread —
see swarmctl/README.md's identical analysis of this same file, written
before this crate existed.
The fix: run this process as User = "authelia-swarm"; instead —
inside the swarm-authelia container, alongside authelia itself — so it
simply owns the file it writes. No elevated privilege anywhere.
Shape
- One endpoint,
POST /requests, body =swarm-authelia-bridge-sock'sBridgeRequestverbatim —EnsureAgentIdentity(idempotently ensure an agent exists as an authelia subject),ListAgentIdentities(the roster: the subjects carrying the agent marker group, names only) andListOperators(the operator group's usernames). - Bearer-authenticated via authelia's own OIDC token introspection (RFC
7662), against
swarm-controller's existing machine-client identity (already minted for the queue connection) — no new credential. ⚠️ Every request admits only the client named bySWARM_AUTHELIA_BRIDGE_CONTROLLER_CLIENT_ID(swarm-controller's) and answers every other active token403: authelia issues machine tokens to every hive and its agents too. - No restart of authelia after a write — relies on
authentication_backend.file.watch, confirmed working against the pinned 4.39.20 build during this design work. - Listens on loopback. The authelia vhost proxies
/bridge/to it with the prefix stripped, soswarm-controlleron any host callshttps://<swarm.authelia.domain>/bridge/requests.
One store, two writers
This bridge and swarmctl both read and write authelia's users.yml
directly. That is the whole arrangement — neither keeps a private copy it
considers canonical.
It used to be otherwise, and the seam was real: each side had its own
users.json treated as authoritative, rendering the same physical
users.yml. A writer whose own JSON was missing could not tell "nothing
here yet" from "someone else's users", so it refused to write at all —
which is exactly what a hive with existing users hit.
What still has to hold, since two processes share the file:
- Read before write. Both do, so neither can drop a user the other added between operations.
- Unknown keys survive. Both carry unmodelled top-level and per-user fields through a round-trip, or whichever writes second would silently delete what the first added.
- Every user gets an email. A relying party asking for the claim fails rather than degrades, so both write paths fill in a synthetic address when none was supplied.
Neither restarts authelia: it watches the file. swarmctl could (it is
root); this bridge deliberately cannot, and a reload that depends on which
process wrote is not a reload.
