This module enables hosting clan-internal services easily, which can be resolved
inside your VPN. This allows defining a custom top-level domain (e.g. `.clan`)
and exposing endpoints from a machine to others, which will be
accessible under `http://<service>.clan` in your browser.
The service consists of two roles:
- A `server` role: This is the DNS-server that will be queried when trying to
resolve clan-internal services. It defines the top-level domain.
- A `default` role: This does two things. First, it sets up the nameservers so
that clan-internal queries are resolved via the `server` machine, while
external queries are resolved as normal via DHCP. Second, it allows exposing
services (see example below).
## Example Usage
Here the machine `dnsserver` is designated as internal DNS-server for the TLD
`.foo`. `server01` will host an application that shall be reachable at
`http://one.foo` and `server02` is going to be reachable at `http://two.foo`.
`client` is any other machine that is part of the clan but does not host any
services.
When `client` tries to resolve `http://one.foo`, the DNS query will be
routed to `dnsserver`, which will answer with `192.168.1.3`. If it tries to
resolve some external domain (e.g. `https://clan.lol`), the query will not be
routed to `dnsserver` but resolved as before, via the nameservers advertised by
DHCP.
```nix
inventory = {
machines = {
dnsserver = { }; # 192.168.1.2
server01 = { }; # 192.168.1.3
server02 = { }; # 192.168.1.4
client = { }; # 192.168.1.5
};
instances = {
coredns = {
module.name = "@clan/coredns";
module.input = "self";
# Add the default role to all machines, including `client`
roles.default.tags.all = { };
# DNS server
roles.server.machines."dnsserver".settings = {
ip = "192.168.1.2";
tld = "foo";
};
# First service
roles.default.machines."server01".settings = {
ip = "192.168.1.3";
services = [ "one" ];
};
# Second service
roles.default.machines."server02".settings = {
ip = "192.168.1.4";
services = [ "two" ];
};
};
};
};
```
