Add deploy/ scaffold for reproducible server bootstrap #7
Merged
Conversation
Previously .gitignore blanket-ignored the entire deploy/ directory. With deploy/ scaffold landing as version-controlled infra-as-code, only the per-server secrets file should stay out of git — the existing *.env pattern already covers deploy/.env.

Captures the manual server hardening we did over the past two days as version-controlled infra-as-code. Bootstrapping a fresh indexer server now takes ~20 minutes from clone to running, with no remembered steps. Includes: - docker-compose.yml — ClickHouse with 127.0.0.1-only ports and bind-mounted users.d so the password survives container recreation - clickhouse/users.d/default-user.xml.template — sha256-hashed default user - clickhouse/access-setup.sql — read-only anonymous users for frontends - nginx/api.conf — reverse proxy with X-Forwarded-For wiring - systemd/icicle-api.service, icicle-indexer.service — units with memory caps and EnvironmentFile for secrets - iptables/rules.v4 — default-deny firewall plus defense-in-depth PREROUTING drops for CH ports - setup.sh — idempotent installer that wires all of the above together - README.md — runbook, verification checklist, and rotation procedures No real domains, IPs, usernames, or secrets in the templates — all placeholders rendered from .env at install time.

Summary
Captures all the manual server hardening from the past two days (CH password rotation, loopback-only ports, default-deny firewall, nginx X-Forwarded-For
wiring, systemd memory caps, IP logging) as version-controlled infra-as-code under
deploy/. New server bootstrap goes from "follow a wiki + remembereverything" to:
git clone && cd icicle/deploy
cp .env.example .env && nano .env
./setup.sh
Then 4 documented manual steps (clone src + build, apply CH access SQL, certbot, enable services).
This is the foundation for the upcoming indexer-as-a-service product — each customer server gets identical, auditable config.
