- Register mx1 in the inventory and as a direct-SSH `internet` host; give it
a static public IPv6 (2a01:4ff:2f0:1963::1).
- Point the cnx.email MX (plus SPF/DMARC) at mx1 and add its A record.
- Bring mx1 into monitoring: import exporters, add it to the mesh map and the
node scrape job so its host metrics and journald reach control.
- Add a clan-mx1 Hetzner firewall: inbound SMTP + ZeroTier + ICMP, no public
SSH (admin rides the mesh like the other hosts). 587/465/993 held for now.
- Extract per-host public IPv4/IPv6 into modules/hosts.nix, consumed by
clan.nix's internet hosts and each machine's cnx.staticIPv6, so each address
is declared once instead of being duplicated across configs.
- docs: add mx1 to the machines table.
control runs VictoriaMetrics (loopback) and Grafana; every machine exports
node metrics and the nameservers export Knot stats (mod-stats + knot-exporter).
Scraping and the Grafana UI ride the ZeroTier mesh only, scoped by nftables to
the mesh /88; the public side stays closed by the Hetzner cloud firewall. The
provisioned DNS dashboard includes a per-zone SOA serial table to catch
primary/secondary drift. ZeroTier ULAs are centralised in mesh-hosts.nix.
- Knot authoritative DNS: ns1 primary, ns2 secondary serving cnx.network,
buildfor.life and cnx.email over TSIG-secured zone transfer (modules/dns)
- Knot listens publicly + over ZeroTier; firewall opens port 53
- Complete clan inventory: name/domain, admin SSH key, control as the
zerotier controller, tor on all nixos machines
- Enable age yubikey/fido2-hmac secret plugins
