Deploying the developer edition on Earth

Companion to spec.md §17.5. Status: installed and running since 2026-09-27 as the systemd service oxygenhub under the oxygenhub system user, data in /home/oxygenhub/data, HTTP on 7300 and HTTPS on 7343 with a self-signed certificate. oxygen, oxygen-vscode and oxygenhub are hosted under andymccall/ and each checkout has an earth remote.

The host
Nameearth (earth.andymccall.xyz, IPv6 ULA; 192.168.1.6 on the LAN)
OSUbuntu 26.04.1 LTS, x86_64, 4 cores, 31 GiB RAM
Disk/ 251 GB (95 GB free), /home 1 TB (944 GB free)
Already runningsshd :22, a Python service :6400, wren-nest :7842, retroplay-manager in Docker (:8080, :6670) with Postgres and a tetriblox server, two GitHub Actions runners (doomsdayonecom), Docker, containerd
Not installedRust toolchain, sqlite3 CLI, nginx or caddy, certbot
Accessssh -i ~/.ssh/earth_claude claude@earth; claude has passwordless sudo

Ports 7300 (HTTP) and 7343 (HTTPS) are free and are the hub's.

Steps

  1. Toolchain (as claude): curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh -s -- -y --profile minimal, then sudo apt-get install -y build-essential pkg-config git.
  2. Source: from the development machine, rsync -a --delete --exclude target --exclude node_modules ~/development/oxygen ~/development/oxygenhub claude@earth:~/src/. Oxygen is never pushed to Git; rsync is the bootstrap, and after the hub runs, oxy push to the hub itself is the ongoing path.
  3. Build: cd ~/src/oxygenhub && cargo build --release.
  4. System user and data: sudo useradd --system --home /home/oxygenhub --create-home oxygenhub, sudo install -o oxygenhub -g oxygenhub -m 0755 target/release/oxygenhub /usr/local/bin/, sudo -u oxygenhub oxygenhub init --data /home/oxygenhub/data --admin andymccall (prints the first admin's one-time password).
  5. Service: /etc/systemd/system/oxygenhub.service running oxygenhub serve --data /home/oxygenhub/data as oxygenhub, Restart=on-failure, ProtectSystem=strict, ReadWritePaths=/home/oxygenhub/data, NoNewPrivileges=yes; sudo systemctl enable --now oxygenhub.
  6. TLS: the developer edition generates a self-signed certificate at init. Download the certificate from https://earth.andymccall.xyz:7343/.well-known/oxyhub-ca.pem (or over plain HTTP on port 7300) and point clients at it with oxy config remote.<name>.ca <file> or OXY_CA.
  7. First repositories: on the development machine, oxy remote add earth https://earth.andymccall.xyz:7343/andymccall/oxygen in each of oxygen, oxygen-vscode, oxygenhub, then oxy push earth.
  8. Updates: rsync, build, sudo install, sudo systemctl restart oxygenhub. make deploy in the hub wraps steps 2, 3 and 8.

HTTPS only (oxygenhub#218)

When base_url is https://…, the hub takes nothing over plain http through a proxy: a request that X-Forwarded-Proto (or Cloudflare's CF-Visitor) reports as http is redirected to the same path on base_url (GET and HEAD) or refused with 400 (anything else), and every cookie it sets is Secure. Requests made to the hub directly, such as a runner on the same host using http://127.0.0.1:7300, carry no such header and are served as before. In front, Cloudflare's Always Use HTTPS is on (2026-10-15). Strict-Transport-Security is not sent yet: it waits for the security headers (#222) and the site owner's decision, because browsers remember it for months.

Guessing is slowed (oxygenhub#221)

Password sign-in, the two-factor code step, device codes and password reset requests count failures per account and per client address (behind_proxy = true takes the address from the tunnel's CF-Connecting-IP, so set it when the hub is behind one). An account gets five free failures and an address twenty (people share addresses); after that each failure doubles the wait before the next try, from two seconds up to a fifteen-minute lockout, and the page says when to try again. A reset request counts as a try whatever it matched, so the answer still gives nothing away. A quiet hour forgets the count and a successful sign-in clears the account's. Each wait that starts is in the audit log (login.throttled, device.throttled, password.reset_throttled) with the address. The counts live in memory, so a restart clears them.

Outbound requests (oxygenhub#219)

Webhooks and AI assistants call addresses people give, so the hub only calls public addresses: it resolves the host, refuses if any address it resolves to is loopback, private, shared (CGNAT), link-local (the cloud metadata address among them), multicast or an IPv6 local range, pins the connection to the addresses it checked, and follows no redirects. A refused webhook delivery records "not sent: …" with the reason; an assistant says why it cannot be reached. To use a service on your own network on purpose (a local Ollama), a site administrator lists it in hub.toml:

[outbound]
allow = ["http://127.0.0.1:11434"]   # scheme://host (any port) or scheme://host:port
