# Service Integration Guide

This guide explains how to add new containerized services to rick-infra with PostgreSQL and Valkey/Redis access via Unix sockets.

## Overview

Rick-infra provides a standardized approach for containerized services to access infrastructure services through Unix sockets, maintaining security while providing optimal performance.

## Architecture Pattern

```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Application Service (Podman Container)                     │
│                                                             │
│ ┌─────────────────┐                                         │

                  │ /var/run/postgresql/         │
                  │                              │
                  │ Valkey Unix Socket           │
                  │ /var/run/valkey/            │
                  └──────────────────────────────┘
```

## Prerequisites

Your service must be deployed as:
1. **Systemd user service** (via Quadlet)
2. **Dedicated system user** 
3. **Podman container** (rootless)

## Step 1: User Setup

Create a dedicated system user for your service and add it to infrastructure groups:

```yaml
- name: Create service user
  user:
    name: myservice
    system: true
    shell: /bin/false
    home: /opt/myservice
    create_home: true

- name: Add service user to infrastructure groups
  user:
    name: myservice
    groups:
      - postgres   # For PostgreSQL access
      - valkey     # For Valkey/Redis access
    append: true
```

## Step 2: Container Configuration

### Pod Configuration (`myservice.pod`)

```ini
[Unit]
Description=My Service Pod

[Pod]
PublishPort=127.0.0.1:8080:8080
PodmanArgs=--userns=host

[Service]
Restart=always
TimeoutStartSec=900

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
```

**Key Points**:
- `--userns=host` preserves host user namespace
- Standard port publishing for network access

### Container Configuration (`myservice.container`)

```ini
[Unit]
Description=My Service Container

[Container]
Image=my-service:latest
Pod=myservice.pod
EnvironmentFile=/opt/myservice/.env
User={{ service_uid }}:{{ service_gid }}
Annotation=run.oci.keep_original_groups=1

# Volume mounts for sockets
Volume=/var/run/postgresql:/var/run/postgresql:Z
Volume=/var/run/valkey:/var/run/valkey:Z

# Application volumes
Volume=/opt/myservice/data:/data
Volume=/opt/myservice/logs:/logs

Exec=my-service

[Service]
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
```

**Key Points**:
- `Annotation=run.oci.keep_original_groups=1` preserves supplementary groups
- Mount socket directories with `:Z` for SELinux relabeling
- Use host UID/GID for the service user

## Step 3: Service Configuration

### PostgreSQL Connection

Use Unix socket connection strings:

```bash
# Environment variable
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://myservice@/myservice_db?host=/var/run/postgresql

# Or separate variables
DB_HOST=/var/run/postgresql
DB_USER=myservice
DB_NAME=myservice_db
# No DB_PORT needed for Unix sockets
```

### Valkey/Redis Connection

**Correct Format** (avoids URL parsing issues):

```bash
# Single URL format (recommended)
CACHE_URL=unix:///var/run/valkey/valkey.sock?db=2&password=your_password

# Alternative format
REDIS_URL=redis://localhost/2?unix_socket_path=/var/run/valkey/valkey.sock
```

**Avoid** separate HOST/DB variables which can cause port parsing issues:
```bash
# DON'T USE - causes parsing problems
REDIS_HOST=unix:///var/run/valkey/valkey.sock
REDIS_DB=2
```

## Step 4: Database Setup

Add database setup tasks to your role:

```yaml
- name: Create application database
  postgresql_db:
    name: "{{ service_db_name }}"
    owner: "{{ service_db_user }}"
    encoding: UTF-8
    lc_collate: en_US.UTF-8
    lc_ctype: en_US.UTF-8
  become_user: postgres

- name: Create application database user
  postgresql_user:
    name: "{{ service_db_user }}"
    password: "{{ service_db_password }}"
    db: "{{ service_db_name }}"
    priv: ALL
  become_user: postgres

- name: Grant connect privileges
  postgresql_privs:
    db: "{{ service_db_name }}"
    role: "{{ service_db_user }}"
    objs: ALL_IN_SCHEMA
    privs: ALL
  become_user: postgres
```

## Step 5: Service Role Template

Create an Ansible role using this pattern:

```
myservice/
├── defaults/main.yml
├── handlers/main.yml
├── tasks/
│   ├── main.yml
│   ├── database.yml
│   └── cache.yml
├── templates/
│   ├── myservice.env.j2
│   ├── myservice.pod
│   ├── myservice.container
│   └── myservice.caddy.j2
└── README.md
```

### Example Environment Template

```bash
# My Service Configuration
# Generated by Ansible - DO NOT EDIT

# Database Configuration (Unix Socket)
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://{{ service_db_user }}@/{{ service_db_name }}?host={{ postgresql_unix_socket_directories }}
DB_PASSWORD={{ service_db_password }}

# Cache Configuration (Unix Socket)
CACHE_URL=unix://{{ valkey_unix_socket_path }}?db={{ service_valkey_db }}&password={{ valkey_password }}

# Application Configuration
SECRET_KEY={{ service_secret_key }}
LOG_LEVEL={{ service_log_level }}
BIND_ADDRESS={{ service_bind_address }}:{{ service_port }}
```

## Troubleshooting

### Socket Permission Issues

If you get permission denied errors:

1. **Check group membership**:
   ```bash
   groups myservice
   # Should show: myservice postgres valkey
   ```

2. **Verify container annotations**:
   ```bash
   podman inspect myservice --format='{{.Config.Annotations}}'
   # Should include: run.oci.keep_original_groups=1
   ```

3. **Check socket permissions**:
   ```bash
   ls -la /var/run/postgresql/
   ls -la /var/run/valkey/
   ```

### Connection Issues

1. **Test socket access from host**:
   ```bash
   sudo -u myservice psql -h /var/run/postgresql -U myservice myservice_db
   sudo -u myservice redis-cli -s /var/run/valkey/valkey.sock ping
   ```

2. **Check URL format**:
   - Use single `CACHE_URL` instead of separate variables
   - Include password in URL if required
   - Verify database number is correct

### Container Issues

1. **Check container user**:
   ```bash
   podman exec myservice id
   # Should show correct UID and supplementary groups
   ```

2. **Verify socket mounts**:
   ```bash
   podman exec myservice ls -la /var/run/postgresql/
   podman exec myservice ls -la /var/run/valkey/
   ```

## Best Practices

1. **Security**:
   - Use dedicated system users for each service
   - Limit group memberships to required infrastructure
   - Use vault variables for secrets

2. **Configuration**:
   - Use single URL format for Redis connections
   - Mount socket directories with appropriate SELinux labels
   - Include `run.oci.keep_original_groups=1` annotation

3. **Deployment**:
   - Test socket access before container deployment
   - Use proper dependency ordering in playbooks
   - Include database and cache setup tasks

4. **Monitoring**:
   - Monitor socket file permissions
   - Check service logs for connection errors
   - Verify group memberships after user changes

## Authentication Integration with Authentik

### Overview

All services in rick-infra should integrate with Authentik for centralized authentication and authorization. This section covers the authentication integration patterns available.

### Authentication Integration Patterns

#### Pattern 1: Forward Authentication (Recommended)

**Use Case**: HTTP services that don't need to handle authentication internally

**Benefits**:
- No application code changes required
- Consistent authentication across all services
- Centralized session management
- Service receives user identity via HTTP headers

**Implementation**:

```yaml
# Service role task to deploy Caddy configuration
- name: Deploy service Caddy configuration with Authentik forward auth
  template:
    src: myservice.caddy.j2
    dest: "{{ caddy_sites_enabled_dir }}/myservice.caddy"
    owner: root
    group: "{{ caddy_user }}"
    mode: '0644'
    backup: true
  notify: reload caddy
  tags: [caddy, auth]
```

```caddyfile
# templates/myservice.caddy.j2
{{ service_domain }} {
    # Forward authentication to Authentik
    forward_auth https://auth.jnss.me {
        uri /outpost.goauthentik.io/auth/caddy
        copy_headers Remote-User Remote-Name Remote-Email Remote-Groups
    }
    
    # Your service backend
    reverse_proxy {{ service_backend }}
    
    # Optional: Restrict access by group
    @not_authorized {
        not header Remote-Groups "*{{ required_group }}*"
    }
    respond @not_authorized "Access denied: insufficient privileges" 403
}
```

**Service Code Example** (Python Flask):
```python
# Application receives authentication information via headers
from flask import Flask, request

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/dashboard')
def dashboard():
    # Extract user information from headers (provided by Authentik)
    username = request.headers.get('Remote-User')
    user_name = request.headers.get('Remote-Name')
    user_email = request.headers.get('Remote-Email')
    user_groups = request.headers.get('Remote-Groups', '').split(',')
    
    # Authorization based on groups
    if not username:
        return "Authentication required", 401
        
    if 'service_users' not in user_groups:
        return "Access denied: insufficient privileges", 403
    
    return render_template('dashboard.html', 
                         username=username, 
                         name=user_name,
                         groups=user_groups)

@app.route('/admin')
def admin():
    user_groups = request.headers.get('Remote-Groups', '').split(',')
    
    if 'admins' not in user_groups:
        return "Admin access required", 403
        
    return render_template('admin.html')
```

#### Pattern 2: OAuth2/OIDC Integration

**Use Case**: Applications that can implement OAuth2 client functionality

**Benefits**:
- Fine-grained scope control
- API access tokens
- Better integration with application user models
- Support for mobile/SPA applications

**Service Configuration**:

```yaml
# Service environment configuration
oauth2_config:
  client_id: "{{ service_oauth_client_id }}"
  client_secret: "{{ vault_service_oauth_secret }}"
  discovery_url: "https://auth.jnss.me/application/o/{{ service_slug }}/.well-known/openid_configuration"
  scopes: "openid email profile groups"
  redirect_uri: "https://{{ service_domain }}/oauth/callback"
```

```python
# OAuth2 integration example (Python)
from authlib.integrations.flask_client import OAuth

oauth = OAuth(app)
oauth.register(
    'authentik',
    client_id=app.config['OAUTH_CLIENT_ID'],
    client_secret=app.config['OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET'],
    server_metadata_url=app.config['OAUTH_DISCOVERY_URL'],
    client_kwargs={
        'scope': 'openid email profile groups'
    }
)

@app.route('/login')
def login():
    redirect_uri = url_for('oauth_callback', _external=True)
    return oauth.authentik.authorize_redirect(redirect_uri)

@app.route('/oauth/callback')
def oauth_callback():
    token = oauth.authentik.authorize_access_token()
    user_info = oauth.authentik.parse_id_token(token)
    
    # Store user information in session
    session['user'] = {
        'id': user_info['sub'],
        'username': user_info['preferred_username'],
        'email': user_info['email'],
        'name': user_info['name'],
        'groups': user_info.get('groups', [])
    }
    
    return redirect('/dashboard')
```

#### Pattern 3: API-Only Authentication

**Use Case**: REST APIs, microservices, machine-to-machine communication

**Implementation**:

```python
# API service with token validation
import requests
from flask import Flask, request, jsonify

def validate_token(token):
    """Validate Bearer token with Authentik introspection endpoint"""
    try:
        response = requests.post(
            'https://auth.jnss.me/application/o/introspect/',
            headers={
                'Authorization': f'Bearer {app.config["API_CLIENT_TOKEN"]}'
            },
            data={'token': token},
            timeout=5
        )
        
        if response.status_code == 200:
            return response.json()
        return None
    except Exception as e:
        app.logger.error(f"Token validation error: {e}")
        return None

@app.route('/api/data')
def api_data():
    auth_header = request.headers.get('Authorization')
    
    if not auth_header or not auth_header.startswith('Bearer '):
        return jsonify({'error': 'Missing or invalid Authorization header'}), 401
    
    token = auth_header[7:]  # Remove 'Bearer ' prefix
    token_info = validate_token(token)
    
    if not token_info or not token_info.get('active'):
        return jsonify({'error': 'Invalid or expired token'}), 401
    
    # Extract user information from token
    username = token_info.get('username')
    scope = token_info.get('scope', '').split()
    
    # Check required scope
    if 'api:read' not in scope:
        return jsonify({'error': 'Insufficient permissions'}), 403
    
    return jsonify({
        'message': f'Hello {username}',
        'data': 'Your API response data here'
    })
```

### Authentik Provider Configuration

For each service integration, configure the appropriate provider in Authentik:

#### Forward Auth Provider (Pattern 1)

```yaml
# Authentik provider configuration (via admin interface)
provider_config:
  name: "{{ service_name }} Forward Auth"
  type: "Proxy Provider"
  authorization_flow: "default-provider-authorization-implicit-consent"
  external_host: "https://{{ service_domain }}"
  internal_host: "http://localhost:{{ service_port }}"
  skip_path_regex: "^/(health|metrics|static).*"
```

#### OAuth2 Provider (Pattern 2)

```yaml
# Authentik OAuth2 provider configuration
oauth_provider_config:
  name: "{{ service_name }} OAuth2"
  type: "OAuth2/OpenID Provider"
  authorization_flow: "default-provider-authorization-explicit-consent"
  client_type: "confidential"
  client_id: "{{ service_oauth_client_id }}"
  redirect_uris: 
    - "https://{{ service_domain }}/oauth/callback"
  post_logout_redirect_uris:
    - "https://{{ service_domain }}/"
```

#### API Provider (Pattern 3)

```yaml
# Authentik API provider configuration  
api_provider_config:
  name: "{{ service_name }} API"
  type: "OAuth2/OpenID Provider" 
  authorization_flow: "default-provider-authorization-implicit-consent"
  client_type: "confidential"
  client_id: "{{ service_api_client_id }}"
  include_claims_in_id_token: true
  issuer_mode: "per_provider"
```

### Group-Based Authorization

#### Service-Specific Groups

```yaml
# Create service-specific groups in Authentik
service_groups:
  - name: "{{ service_name }}_users"
    description: "Users who can access {{ service_name }}"
    is_superuser: false
    
  - name: "{{ service_name }}_admins"
    description: "Administrators for {{ service_name }}"
    is_superuser: false
    parent: "{{ service_name }}_users"
    
  - name: "{{ service_name }}_readonly"
    description: "Read-only access to {{ service_name }}"
    is_superuser: false
    parent: "{{ service_name }}_users"
```

#### Policy-Based Access Control

```yaml
# Authentik policies for service access
service_policies:
  - name: "{{ service_name }} Group Access"
    policy_type: "Group Membership Policy"
    groups: ["{{ service_name }}_users"]
    
  - name: "{{ service_name }} Business Hours"
    policy_type: "Time-based Policy"
    parameters:
      start_time: "08:00"
      end_time: "18:00"
      days: ["monday", "tuesday", "wednesday", "thursday", "friday"]
      
  - name: "{{ service_name }} IP Restriction"
    policy_type: "Source IP Policy" 
    parameters:
      cidr: "10.0.0.0/8"
```

### Service Role Template with Authentication

Here's a complete service role template that includes authentication integration:

```yaml
# roles/myservice/defaults/main.yml
---
# Service configuration
service_name: "myservice"
service_domain: "myservice.jnss.me"
service_port: 8080
service_backend: "localhost:{{ service_port }}"

# Authentication configuration
auth_enabled: true
auth_pattern: "forward_auth"  # forward_auth, oauth2, api_only
required_group: "myservice_users"

# OAuth2 configuration (if auth_pattern is oauth2)
oauth_client_id: "{{ service_name }}-oauth-client"
oauth_client_secret: "{{ vault_myservice_oauth_secret }}"

# Dependencies
postgresql_db_name: "{{ service_name }}"
valkey_db_number: 2
```

```yaml
# roles/myservice/tasks/main.yml
---

```

```caddyfile
# roles/myservice/templates/myservice.caddy.j2
{{ service_domain }} {
{% if auth_enabled and auth_pattern == 'forward_auth' %}
    # Forward authentication to Authentik
    forward_auth https://auth.jnss.me {
        uri /outpost.goauthentik.io/auth/caddy
        copy_headers Remote-User Remote-Name Remote-Email Remote-Groups
    }
    
{% if required_group %}
    # Restrict access to specific group
    @not_authorized {
        not header Remote-Groups "*{{ required_group }}*"
    }
    respond @not_authorized "Access denied: {{ required_group }} group required" 403
{% endif %}
{% endif %}

    # Service backend
    reverse_proxy {{ service_backend }}
    
    # Health check endpoint (no auth required)
    handle /health {
        reverse_proxy {{ service_backend }}
    }
}
```

### Integration Testing

#### Authentication Integration Tests

```yaml
# Service authentication tests
authentication_tests:
  - name: "Test unauthenticated access denied"
    uri: "https://{{ service_domain }}/"
    method: "GET"
    expected_status: [302, 401]  # Redirect to login or unauthorized
    
  - name: "Test authenticated access allowed"
    uri: "https://{{ service_domain }}/"
    method: "GET"
    headers:
      Cookie: "authentik_session={{ valid_session_cookie }}"
    expected_status: [200]
    
  - name: "Test group authorization"
    uri: "https://{{ service_domain }}/admin"
    method: "GET"  
    headers:
      Cookie: "authentik_session={{ admin_session_cookie }}"
    expected_status: [200]
    
  - name: "Test insufficient privileges"
    uri: "https://{{ service_domain }}/admin"
    method: "GET"
    headers:
      Cookie: "authentik_session={{ user_session_cookie }}"
    expected_status: [403]
```

#### Automated Testing Script

```bash
#!/bin/bash
# test-service-auth.sh

SERVICE_DOMAIN="myservice.jnss.me"

echo "Testing service authentication for $SERVICE_DOMAIN"

# Test 1: Unauthenticated access should redirect or deny
echo "Test 1: Unauthenticated access"
RESPONSE=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" "https://$SERVICE_DOMAIN/")
if [[ "$RESPONSE" == "302" || "$RESPONSE" == "401" ]]; then
    echo "✓ PASS: Unauthenticated access properly denied ($RESPONSE)"
else
    echo "✗ FAIL: Unauthenticated access allowed ($RESPONSE)"
fi

# Test 2: Health endpoint should be accessible
echo "Test 2: Health endpoint access"  
RESPONSE=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" "https://$SERVICE_DOMAIN/health")
if [[ "$RESPONSE" == "200" ]]; then
    echo "✓ PASS: Health endpoint accessible"
else
    echo "✗ FAIL: Health endpoint not accessible ($RESPONSE)"
fi

# Test 3: Authentik forward auth endpoint exists
echo "Test 3: Authentik forward auth endpoint"
RESPONSE=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" "https://auth.jnss.me/outpost.goauthentik.io/auth/caddy")
if [[ "$RESPONSE" == "401" ]]; then
    echo "✓ PASS: Forward auth endpoint responding"
else
    echo "✗ FAIL: Forward auth endpoint not responding correctly ($RESPONSE)"
fi

echo "Authentication tests completed"
```

## Example Integration

## Quick Start Checklist

When integrating a new service with rick-infra:

### Infrastructure Integration
- [ ] Create dedicated system user for the service
- [ ] Add user to `postgres` and `valkey` groups for database access
- [ ] Configure Unix socket connections in service environment
- [ ] Set up Quadlet container configuration with proper user/group settings
- [ ] Test database and cache connectivity

### Authentication Integration  
- [ ] Choose authentication pattern (forward auth recommended for most services)
- [ ] Create Caddy configuration with Authentik forward auth
- [ ] Create Authentik provider and application configuration
- [ ] Set up service-specific groups and policies in Authentik
- [ ] Test authentication flow and authorization

### Deployment Integration
- [ ] Add service role dependencies in `meta/main.yml`
- [ ] Configure service in `site.yml` with appropriate tags
- [ ] Set up vault variables for secrets
- [ ] Deploy and verify service functionality
- [ ] Add monitoring and backup procedures

This comprehensive integration approach ensures all services benefit from the security, performance, and operational advantages of the rick-infra architecture.
