# CONTAINER SERVICES (m3-atlas)

**Container orchestration with Podman + Traefik reverse proxy**

## OVERVIEW
11 containerized services on dedicated `web` network (10.89.0.0/24) with Traefik SSL termination.

## STRUCTURE
```

## WHERE TO LOOK

| Task | Action | Notes |
|------|--------|-------|
| Add container | Copy existing .nix, increment IP | Must update default.nix imports |
| Fix networking | Check IP conflicts in 10.89.0.0/24 | Gateway always 10.89.0.1 |
| Debug Traefik | Check router rules in service file | Domain must match DNS |
| Access database | Use `--add-host=mysql:10.89.0.1` | Gateway IP for host services |

## CONVENTIONS

### Container Definition Template
```nix
virtualisation.oci-containers.containers.<name> = {
  image = "registry/image:tag";
  ports = ["127.0.0.1:<external>:<internal>"];
  volumes = ["/var/lib/<service>:/data"];
  environmentFiles = [config.age.secrets.<name>-env.path];
  extraOptions = [
    "--network=web"
    "--ip=10.89.0.<sequential>"
    "--add-host=mysql:10.89.0.1"  # If DB needed
  ];
};
```

### Traefik Integration
```nix
services.traefik.dynamicConfigOptions.http = {
  services.<name>.loadBalancer.servers = [{ 
    url = "http://127.0.0.1:<port>"; 
  }];
  routers.<name> = {
    rule = "Host(`<subdomain>.m3ta.dev`)";
    service = "<name>";
    tls.certResolver = "godaddy";
  };
  # Legacy redirect (if needed)
  routers.<name>-old = {
    rule = "Host(`<subdomain>.m3tam3re.com`)";
    service = "<name>";
    middlewares = ["redirect-m3ta"];
  };
};
```

### IP Allocation
- **10.89.0.1**: Gateway (host)
- **10.89.0.10-17**: Assigned containers
- **10.89.0.18+**: Available for new services

## ANTI-PATTERNS

- **DON'T** expose ports publicly - bind to 127.0.0.1 only
- **DON'T** skip static IP assignment - routing breaks without it
- **DON'T** hardcode secrets - use age-encrypted env files
- **DON'T** forget to add imports to default.nix

## NOTES

- Network created via activation script in default.nix
- All services behind Traefik - no direct external access
- MySQL/PostgreSQL run on host, accessed via gateway IP
- Secrets pattern: `<service>-env.age` with environment variables
