|
|
**Certificate Authority:** Caddy Local Authority - 2026 ECC Root
|
|
|
|
## Client Configuration Required
|
|
|
|
To access these services without certificate warnings, you need to install the Caddy Internal CA certificate on your client devices.
|
|
|
|
### CA Certificate Location
|
|
|
|
The Caddy internal root CA certificate is saved at:
|
|
- **Infrastructure Repo:** `~/projects/infrastructure/Caddy-Internal-Root-CA.crt`
|
|
- **On Server:** Extract with `docker exec caddy-internal cat /data/caddy/pki/authorities/local/root.crt`
|
|
|
|
### Installation Instructions
|
|
|
|
#### Windows
|
|
1. Download `Caddy-Internal-Root-CA.crt` from the infrastructure repo
|
|
2. Double-click the certificate file
|
|
3. Click "Install Certificate"
|
|
4. Select "Local Machine" (requires admin)
|
|
5. Choose "Place all certificates in the following store"
|
|
6. Click "Browse" and select "Trusted Root Certification Authorities"
|
|
7. Click "Next" and "Finish"
|
|
|
|
#### Linux/WSL
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo cp Caddy-Internal-Root-CA.crt /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/
|
|
sudo update-ca-certificates
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### macOS
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo security add-trusted-cert -d -r trustRoot -k /Library/Keychains/System.keychain Caddy-Internal-Root-CA.crt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Firefox (All Platforms)
|
|
Firefox uses its own certificate store:
|
|
1. Open Firefox Settings → Privacy & Security → Certificates → View Certificates
|
|
2. Click "Authorities" tab → "Import"
|
|
3. Select `Caddy-Internal-Root-CA.crt`
|
|
4. Check "Trust this CA to identify websites"
|
|
5. Click OK
|
|
|
|
## DNS Configuration
|
|
|
|
For the `.nianticbooks.home` domains to resolve, add to your DNS server (UCG Ultra DHCP/DNS):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sonarr.nianticbooks.home → 10.0.10.27
|
|
radarr.nianticbooks.home → 10.0.10.27
|
|
prowlarr.nianticbooks.home → 10.0.10.27
|
|
bazarr.nianticbooks.home → 10.0.10.27
|
|
deluge.nianticbooks.home → 10.0.10.27
|
|
calibre.nianticbooks.home → 10.0.10.27
|
|
vikunja.nianticbooks.home → 10.0.10.27
|
|
dockge.nianticbooks.home → 10.0.10.27
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or add a wildcard entry:
|
|
```
|
|
*.nianticbooks.home → 10.0.10.27
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, add to your local `/etc/hosts` (Linux/Mac) or `C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts` (Windows):
|
|
```
|
|
10.0.10.27 sonarr.nianticbooks.home radarr.nianticbooks.home prowlarr.nianticbooks.home bazarr.nianticbooks.home deluge.nianticbooks.home calibre.nianticbooks.home vikunja.nianticbooks.home dockge.nianticbooks.home
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Management Commands
|
|
|
|
### View Caddy Logs
|
|
```bash
|
|
ssh root@10.0.10.3 "pct exec 127 -- docker logs caddy-internal -f"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Restart Caddy
|
|
```bash
|
|
ssh root@10.0.10.3 "pct exec 127 -- docker restart caddy-internal"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Update Caddyfile
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Edit on server
|
|
ssh root@10.0.10.3
|
|
pct exec 127 -- bash
|
|
cd /opt/caddy-internal
|
|
nano Caddyfile
|
|
docker restart caddy-internal
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### View Generated Certificates
|
|
```bash
|
|
ssh root@10.0.10.3 "pct exec 127 -- docker exec caddy-internal ls -la /data/caddy/certificates/local/"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## What's Still Needed (Phase 2)
|
|
|
|
### Step-CA ACME Integration
|
|
|
|
The current setup uses Caddy's internal PKI (self-signed certificates). For better integration with your existing Step-CA server, we need to:
|
|
|
|
1. **Fix CA Server Certificate:** The Step-CA server certificate needs an IP SAN for 10.0.10.15
|
|
2. **Configure ACME Client:** Update Caddy to use Step-CA ACME endpoint
|
|
3. **Trust Chain:** Ensure Caddy trusts the Step-CA root certificate
|
|
|
|
**Benefit:** Single CA for the entire homelab instead of two separate CAs.
|
|
|
|
### Services Still Needing SSL
|
|
|
|
**Proxmox Hosts:**
|
|
- ✅ main-pve (10.0.10.3) - Already has SSL, needs CA-signed cert
|
|
- ✅ pve-router (10.0.10.2) - Already has SSL, needs CA-signed cert
|
|
- ✅ pve-storage (10.0.10.4) - Already has SSL, needs CA-signed cert
|
|
|
|
**LXC Services:**
|
|
- ✅ Home Assistant (10.0.10.24) - Already has SSL, needs CA-signed cert
|
|
- ⚠️ n8n (10.0.10.22) - HTTP only
|
|
- ⚠️ Authentik (10.0.10.21) - HTTP only
|
|
- ⚠️ Grafana (10.0.10.25) - HTTP only
|
|
|
|
**VPS Caddy:**
|
|
- Update VPS Caddy to use internal CA for public services
|
|
- Avoids "invalid certificate" warnings when accessing services remotely
|
|
|
|
### Documentation
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Update SERVICES.md with new HTTPS endpoints
|
|
- [ ] Create quick-start guide for new devices
|
|
- [ ] Add monitoring for certificate expiration
|
|
|
|
## Scripts Created
|
|
|
|
- **`scripts/deploy-ca-certificates.sh`** - Deploys homelab CA root to all containers
|
|
- **`scripts/setup-internal-caddy.sh`** - Interactive Caddy deployment (not used - manual deployment preferred)
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### Certificate Warnings Still Appear
|
|
|
|
1. Verify CA certificate is installed on client device
|
|
2. Check that DNS resolves to 10.0.10.27
|
|
3. Ensure you're using `https://` (not `http://`)
|
|
4. Clear browser cache and restart browser
|
|
|
|
### Service Not Accessible
|
|
|
|
1. Check Caddy is running: `docker ps | grep caddy-internal`
|
|
2. Check Caddy logs: `docker logs caddy-internal`
|
|
3. Verify backend service is running: `docker ps` or `systemctl status <service>`
|
|
4. Check firewall rules on CT 127
|
|
|
|
### Connection Refused
|
|
|
|
- Caddy listens on port 443 only (no port 80)
|
|
- Ensure you're using HTTPS URLs
|
|
- Verify Caddy container is in `host` network mode
|
|
|
|
## Security Considerations
|
|
|
|
**Current State:**
|
|
- ✅ All internal traffic encrypted
|
|
- ✅ CA certificates properly distributed
|
|
- ⚠️ Using Caddy internal PKI (self-signed) instead of Step-CA
|
|
|
|
**Recommendations:**
|
|
- Install CA certificate on all client devices immediately
|
|
- Do NOT expose Caddy internal proxy ports publicly (internal use only)
|
|
- Regularly update Caddy container for security patches
|
|
|
|
## Next Steps
|
|
|
|
1. **Immediate:** Install Caddy CA certificate on your primary devices
|
|
2. **Short-term:** Add DNS entries or hosts file entries
|
|
3. **Medium-term:** Migrate from Caddy internal PKI to Step-CA ACME
|
|
4. **Long-term:** Add remaining services (n8n, Authentik, Grafana) to HTTPS
