PR description:

Define one durable single-writer deployment contract, then implement it with a non-root Docker image, Compose and Caddy, a generic systemd unit, and separate NixOS, Linux, and Proxmox guides.

Add Railway, Render, and Fly.io templates that share the same /data layout, plus bounded public verification and a container replacement test that proves the relay identity survives.

The dedicated container e2e workflow expects the ngit-ci KVM runner to opt in to exposing its disposable guest Docker socket; it fails clearly if that prerequisite is absent.

# Deploy with Docker or Podman
This is the portable default for a Linux host. The repository ships a
multi-stage `Dockerfile`, a loopback-only Compose service, and an optional
Caddy overlay for automatic HTTPS.
The image contains ngit-grasp, Git, CA certificates, and a small init process.
It prepares `/data` and then runs ngit-grasp as UID/GID `10001`.
## Prerequisites
- Docker Engine with Compose v2, or a compatible Podman Compose setup
- durable local storage for the named volume
- a domain whose DNS points to the host
- ports 80 and 443 available when using bundled Caddy
Review the [deployment contract](../reference/deployment-contract.md) before
placing the state volume on remote or managed storage.
## Fresh VPS with automatic HTTPS
Create the small deployment environment file:
```bash
cp deploy.env.example .env
```
Set `NGIT_DOMAIN` in `.env`, then start the relay and Caddy:
```bash
docker compose -f compose.yaml -f compose.caddy.yaml up --build -d
docker compose -f compose.yaml -f compose.caddy.yaml ps
scripts/verify-deployment.sh https://ngit.example.com
```
Caddy obtains and renews the certificate. The relay is also published on
`127.0.0.1:7334` for local diagnostics, but it is not directly reachable from
the network.
The bundled Caddy configuration serves ngit-grasp at the domain root. To share
a hostname using `NGIT_BASE_PATH`, use an existing reverse proxy and configure
its path routing explicitly.
## Existing reverse proxy
Start only the relay service:
```bash
docker compose up --build -d
curl -H 'Accept: application/nostr+json' http://127.0.0.1:7334
```
Proxy the public HTTPS hostname to `http://127.0.0.1:7334`. Preserve WebSocket
upgrades, request methods, bodies, and query strings. Forwarded client IP
headers are ignored by default; configure `NGIT_TRUSTED_PROXY_CIDRS` only after
identifying the exact container-visible proxy address and keeping the backend
private.
## State and identity
The `ngit-grasp-data` named volume is mounted at `/data` and contains all
durable state. The first start creates `/data/.relay-owner.nsec`; retaining the
volume retains the public identity advertised in NIP-11.
Inspect the resolved volume without guessing its Compose prefix:
```bash
docker volume inspect ngit-grasp_ngit-grasp-data
```
Do not use `docker compose down --volumes` in production. It deletes the relay
identity, events, and Git repositories.
## Operations
```bash
# Logs
docker compose logs --follow ngit-grasp
# Controlled restart
docker compose restart ngit-grasp
# Stop while retaining state
docker compose stop
# Start again
docker compose start
```
When the Caddy overlay is active, include both `-f` arguments for commands that
must operate on the complete project.
## Backup
Stop the writer, archive the complete volume, and start it again:
```bash
docker compose stop ngit-grasp
docker run --rm \
--volume ngit-grasp_ngit-grasp-data:/data:ro \
--volume "$PWD:/backup" \
alpine:3.22 \
tar -czf /backup/ngit-grasp-data.tar.gz -C /data .
docker compose start ngit-grasp
```
Store the archive away from the Docker host. Test restoration into a separate,
non-public deployment before relying on it.
## Upgrade
Pin or check out the intended tag, read `CHANGELOG.md`, take a backup, and
rebuild without overlapping the old and new writers:
```bash
docker compose stop ngit-grasp
docker compose build --pull ngit-grasp
docker compose up -d ngit-grasp
scripts/verify-deployment.sh https://ngit.example.com
```
For storage-changing releases, follow the linked migration guide and restore
the pre-upgrade volume snapshot before attempting a binary rollback.
## Validate the image locally
The repository includes a destructive-to-test-resources-only integration
check. It builds the image, creates uniquely named temporary container and
volume resources, replaces the container, and confirms the NIP-11 pubkey did
not change:
```bash
scripts/test-container-deployment.sh
```
Set `CONTAINER_ENGINE=podman` to exercise a compatible Podman CLI.

# Deploy a static binary with systemd
Use this path for a conventional Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, or other systemd Linux
server when containers are unnecessary. Build the portable binary on a Nix
build machine, then copy only the binary and service files to the server.
## Build a pinned binary
From a clean checkout of the reviewed tag or revision:
```bash
nix build .#static
file result/bin/ngit-grasp
```
Copy `result/bin/ngit-grasp`, `deploy/systemd/ngit-grasp.service`, and
`deploy/systemd/ngit-grasp.env.example` to the server through your normal
authenticated deployment channel.
The deployment host does not need Nix or Rust. It does need Git and trusted CA
certificates:
```bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y ca-certificates git
```
Use the equivalent packages on non-Debian distributions.
## Install
```bash
getent group ngit-grasp >/dev/null || sudo groupadd --system ngit-grasp
id -u ngit-grasp >/dev/null 2>&1 || \
sudo useradd --system --gid ngit-grasp --home-dir /var/lib/ngit-grasp \
--create-home --shell /usr/sbin/nologin ngit-grasp
sudo install -Dm755 ngit-grasp /usr/local/bin/ngit-grasp
sudo install -Dm644 ngit-grasp.service \
/etc/systemd/system/ngit-grasp.service
sudo install -Dm640 -o root -g ngit-grasp ngit-grasp.env.example \
/etc/ngit-grasp/ngit-grasp.env
sudo install -d -m 0750 -o ngit-grasp -g ngit-grasp \
/var/lib/ngit-grasp \
/var/lib/ngit-grasp/git \
/var/lib/ngit-grasp/relay
```
Edit `/etc/ngit-grasp/ngit-grasp.env` and set `NGIT_DOMAIN`.
If restoring an existing identity, install `.relay-owner.nsec` as mode `0600`
owned by `ngit-grasp` under `/var/lib/ngit-grasp`. Otherwise the first start
generates it there.
## Reverse proxy and TLS
Keep the service bound to `127.0.0.1:7334`. For Caddy, a domain-root virtual
host is:
```caddyfile
ngit.example.com {
reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:7334
}
```
Point DNS at the server and replace `ngit.example.com` in both Caddy and the
ngit-grasp environment file. Caddy preserves WebSocket upgrades automatically.
## Start and verify
On the server:
```bash
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable --now ngit-grasp
sudo systemctl status ngit-grasp --no-pager
sudo journalctl -u ngit-grasp -n 50 --no-pager
```
From the repository checkout on the operator workstation:
```bash
scripts/verify-deployment.sh https://ngit.example.com
```
The service unit applies a restrictive umask, filesystem protection, private
temporary directory, empty capability set, and bounded five-minute shutdown.
## Upgrade and rollback
Build the new pinned binary before touching the server. Read `CHANGELOG.md`,
stop the service, snapshot `/var/lib/ngit-grasp`, install the new binary, and
start the service:
```bash
sudo systemctl stop ngit-grasp
sudo install -Dm755 ngit-grasp /usr/local/bin/ngit-grasp
sudo systemctl start ngit-grasp
```
Run the verifier and inspect startup integrity summaries. If the release
changed storage, restoring the old binary also requires restoring its matching
state snapshot.

# Deploy ngit-grasp on NixOS
**Purpose:** Deploy ngit-grasp to a production NixOS server
**Difficulty:** Intermediate
**Time:** 30-60 minutes
This guide implements the shared
[deployment contract](../reference/deployment-contract.md) with the repository's
NixOS module. For another environment, return to the
[deployment chooser](deploy.md).
---
## Problem
You want to:
- Deploy ngit-grasp to a NixOS server
- Configure it as a systemd service
- Set up reverse proxy (Caddy)
- Ensure proper security and monitoring
---
## Prerequisites
- NixOS server with SSH access
- Flakes enabled on server and local machine
- Domain name configured (DNS pointing to server)
- Basic knowledge of NixOS configuration
---
## Solution
### Step 1: Add ngit-grasp to Your Server's Flake
In your server's `flake.nix`, add ngit-grasp as an input:
```nix
{
inputs = {
# Keep the nixpkgs input already used by this server configuration.
nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
ngit-grasp.url =
"git+https://gitnostr.com/npub15qydau2hjma6ngxkl2cyar74wzyjshvl65za5k5rl69264ar2exs5cyejr/ngit-grasp.git";
};
outputs = { self, nixpkgs, ngit-grasp, ... }@inputs: {
nixosConfigurations.your-hostname = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
system = "x86_64-linux";
specialArgs = { inherit inputs; };
modules = [
./configuration.nix
# ... other modules
];
};
};
}
```
---
### Step 2: Create Service Configuration
Create a new file for your ngit-grasp service (e.g., `services/ngit-grasp.nix`):
```nix
{ inputs, ... }:
{
imports = [ inputs.ngit-grasp.nixosModules.default ];
services.ngit-grasp.production = {
enable = true;
domain = "ngit.example.com";
# Network
bindAddress = "127.0.0.1";
port = 8082;
# Only Caddy can reach the loopback backend, so its forwarded client IP is trusted.
trustedProxyCidrs = [ "127.0.0.1/32" ];
# Storage
dataDir = "/persistent/ngit-grasp";
# Identity
relayName = "My GRASP Relay";
relayDescription = "A Rust GRASP implementation with proactive sync";

# Caddy reverse proxy

# Caddy manages X-Forwarded-For automatically.
header_up X-Real-IP {remote_host}
}
'';
};
}
```
**Key configuration options:**
- **Instance name** (`production`): Can be any name. Used for systemd service (`ngit-grasp-production`)
- **domain**: Your relay's domain (used in GRASP validation)
- **port**: Local port (use reverse proxy for HTTPS)
- **trustedProxyCidrs**: Proxy source ranges allowed to supply the client IP
- Keep empty for a directly exposed listener
- Keep the backend private; trusting a public-facing source range permits spoofed headers
- Caddy automatically maintains `X-Forwarded-For`; `header_up`, not `header_down`,
changes headers sent to the backend
- **dataDir**: Where git repos and database are stored
- **relayOwnerNsecFile**: Path to file containing relay owner's nsec
- Passed to ngit-grasp as a protected systemd credential, not a process argument
- The runtime secret file must already exist (for example through agenix or sops-nix)
- Permissions on that external source file remain the operator or secret manager's responsibility
- Alternative: `relayOwnerNsec = "nsec1..."` (less secure, in nix store)
- If neither option is set, ngit-grasp loads or creates `.relay-owner.nsec` in `dataDir`
- **syncBootstrapRelayUrl**: Bootstrap relay to sync from on startup
See [nix/example-configuration.nix](../../nix/example-configuration.nix) for more examples.

### Step 3: Import the Service
Import your service configuration in your main configuration file:
```nix
# In configuration.nix or services/default.nix
{
imports = [
./services/ngit-grasp.nix
# ... other services
];
}
```
---
### Step 4: Update Flake Lock
```bash
cd /path/to/server/config
nix flake update ngit-grasp
git add flake.lock
git commit -m "Add ngit-grasp and update flake.lock"
```
---
### Step 5: Validate Configuration
Before deploying, validate that the flake evaluates without starting its builds:
```bash
nix flake check --no-build
```
#### Resource-safe module validation
Nix copies path-valued build inputs into the store when they are forced. A Git
flake is materialized from its tracked files first, but a standalone path into a
working tree does not inherit that Git filtering.
This matters when testing ngit-grasp's NixOS module locally. Importing
`nix/module.nix` is lazy by itself, but rendering an enabled service forces the
module-built package through `ExecStart`. The package's `src = ../.` then
resolves relative to that module. If the module was imported directly from a
working tree, Nix may recursively hash or copy ignored `target/`, `.git`, and
linked-worktree data while it appears to be evaluating the configuration.
Use `inputs.ngit-grasp.nixosModules.default` from a Git-backed flake input, as
shown above. For local module changes, commit them to a temporary Git branch and
use that Git source, or replace `buildRustPackage` with a test stub that ignores
all build attributes so `src` remains unforced. Do not use a direct
working-tree module import for a test that enables an instance.
Inspect the derivation plan before starting a build:
```bash
nixos-rebuild dry-build --flake .#your-hostname
```
Multiple ngit-grasp instances should normally share one ngit-grasp package
derivation. Avoid service-level `ExecStart` overrides that force another flake
package or Rust toolchain. If distinct versions are intentional, build them
sequentially or on appropriately sized remote builders. For an initial local
build, constrain Nix while confirming the plan behaves as expected:
```bash
nixos-rebuild build --flake .#your-hostname --max-jobs 1 --cores 2
```
---
### Step 6: Deploy to Server
Deploy the new configuration to your server:
```bash
# Build and switch in one command (builds on server)
nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#your-hostname \
--target-host user@server.example.com \
--use-remote-sudo \
--build-host user@server.example.com
```
**Alternative:** Build locally, then deploy:
```bash
# Build locally
nixos-rebuild build --flake .#your-hostname
# Deploy to server
nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#your-hostname \
--target-host user@server.example.com \
--use-remote-sudo
```
**Note:** Building locally requires your machine to trust the server's nix signing key.
---
### Step 7: Verify Deployment
SSH to the server and check the service:
```bash
ssh user@server.example.com
# Check service status
systemctl status ngit-grasp-production
# View recent logs
journalctl -u ngit-grasp-production -n 50 --no-pager
# Check if listening on port
ss -tlnp | grep 8082
```
---
### Step 8: Test Functionality
From your local machine, test the relay:
```bash
# Test NIP-11 relay info
curl https://ngit.example.com -H "Accept: application/nostr+json" | jq
# Test WebSocket connection
websocat wss://ngit.example.com
# Then type: ["REQ","test",{}]
# Should receive events
# Test git clone (if you have repos)
git ls-remote https://ngit.example.com/<npub>/<repo>.git
```
---
## Configuration Options
### Required
- `enable` - Enable this instance
- `domain` - Domain where relay is hosted
### Network
- `basePath` - Public URL mount path (default: `/`)
- `bindAddress` - IP to bind to (default: "127.0.0.1")
- `port` - Port to listen on (default: 7334)
- `trustedProxyCidrs` - Proxy networks allowed to provide the WebSocket client
IP (default: empty; forwarded headers ignored)
### Storage
- `dataDir` - Base directory for data (default: /var/lib/ngit-grasp-{name})
- `databaseBackend` - "lmdb" | "memory" (default: "lmdb")
See [Upgrade Git family storage](upgrade-git-family-storage.md) before updating
an existing instance to a release that enables identifier-family storage.
### Identity
- `relayName` - Relay name for NIP-11 (default: "{domain} grasp relay")
- `relayDescription` - Relay description
- `relayOwnerNsecFile` - Runtime secret file loaded as a systemd credential (recommended)
- `relayOwnerNsec` - Inline nsec (less secure)
### Sync
- `syncBootstrapRelayUrl` - Bootstrap relay URL (optional)
- `syncDisableNegentropy` - Disable NIP-77 negentropy (default: false)
- `syncMaxBackoffSecs` - Max backoff for reconnection (default: 3600)
- `syncDisconnectCheckIntervalSecs` - Check interval (default: 60)
- `syncBaseBackoffSecs` - Base backoff time (default: 5)
### Metrics
- `metricsEnabled` - Enable `/metrics` below the configured base path (default: true)
- `metricsConnectionPerIpAbuseThreshold` - Abuse threshold (default: 10)
- `metricsTopNRepos` - Number of top repos to track (default: 10)
### Logging
- `logLevel` - "trace" | "debug" | "info" | "warn" | "error" (default: "info")
### Security
- `user` - User to run as (default: "ngit-grasp-{name}")
- `group` - Group to run as (default: "ngit-grasp")
See [nix/module.nix](../../nix/module.nix) for complete option definitions.
---
## Systemd Service
The NixOS module creates a systemd service: `ngit-grasp-{instance-name}`
```bash
# Start/stop/restart
systemctl start ngit-grasp-production
systemctl stop ngit-grasp-production
systemctl restart ngit-grasp-production
# Enable/disable autostart
systemctl enable ngit-grasp-production
systemctl disable ngit-grasp-production
# View logs
journalctl -u ngit-grasp-production -f
journalctl -u ngit-grasp-production --since "1 hour ago"
# Check status
systemctl status ngit-grasp-production
```
---
## Multiple Instances
You can run multiple instances on the same server:
```nix
services.ngit-grasp = {
production = {
enable = true;
domain = "ngit.example.com";
port = 8082;
dataDir = "/persistent/ngit-production";
};
staging = {
enable = true;
domain = "ngit-staging.example.com";
port = 8083;
dataDir = "/persistent/ngit-staging";
logLevel = "debug";
};
};
```
Each instance:
- Runs as separate systemd service: `ngit-grasp-production`, `ngit-grasp-staging`
- Has its own user: `ngit-grasp-production`, `ngit-grasp-staging`
- Stores data in separate directory
- Can have different configuration
---
## Troubleshooting
### Service won't start
**Check logs:**
```bash
journalctl -u ngit-grasp-production -n 50
```
**Common issues:**
- Port already in use: Check with `ss -tlnp | grep 8082`
- Data directory permissions: Should be owned by service user
- Invalid nsec file: Check file exists and contains valid nsec
### Can't connect via WebSocket
**Check:**
- Service is running: `systemctl status ngit-grasp-production`
- Firewall allows connections: `nix run nixpkgs#nmap -- -p 443 ngit.example.com`
- Caddy is configured correctly: `systemctl status caddy`
- DNS resolves: `dig ngit.example.com`
### Sync not working
**Check logs for sync errors:**
```bash
journalctl -u ngit-grasp-production | grep -i sync
```
**Common issues:**
- Bootstrap relay URL incorrect or unreachable
- Network connectivity issues
- Bootstrap relay doesn't support negentropy (disable with `syncDisableNegentropy = true`)
### High memory/CPU usage
**Monitor metrics:**
```bash
curl http://localhost:8082/metrics
```
**Tune configuration:**
- Reduce `metricsTopNRepos`
- Increase `syncMaxBackoffSecs`
- Tune `syncMaxBackoffSecs` for your network conditions
---
## Rollback
If deployment fails, rollback to previous configuration:
```bash
# On the server
nixos-rebuild switch --rollback
# Or remotely
nixos-rebuild switch --rollback \
--target-host user@server.example.com \
--use-remote-sudo
```
If the release changed on-disk storage, a NixOS generation rollback is not
enough. Restore the matching pre-upgrade snapshot of the complete `dataDir`
before starting the older service. See the
[deployment contract](../reference/deployment-contract.md#upgrade-and-rollback).
---
## Upgrading
To upgrade ngit-grasp:
```bash
# Update flake input
nix flake update ngit-grasp
# Review changes
git diff flake.lock
# Commit
git add flake.lock
git commit -m "Update ngit-grasp"
# Deploy
nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#your-hostname \
--target-host user@server.example.com \
--use-remote-sudo \
--build-host user@server.example.com
```
---
## Security Hardening
The NixOS module includes systemd hardening:
- `NoNewPrivileges = true` - Prevents privilege escalation
- `ProtectSystem = "strict"` - Read-only filesystem except dataDir
- `ProtectHome = true` - No access to home directories
- `PrivateTmp = true` - Private /tmp
- `RestrictAddressFamilies` - Only allow needed network families
Additional recommendations:
1. **Use a runtime secret file instead of an inline key:**
```nix
relayOwnerNsecFile = "/run/agenix/ngit-grasp-relay-owner-nsec";
# NOT: relayOwnerNsec = "nsec1..."; # Ends up in nix store!
```
The module exposes the file to ngit-grasp as the `relay_owner_nsec`
systemd credential. The key does not appear in `ExecStart` or the process
command line. ngit-grasp does not modify the external source file; keep its
ownership and permissions restricted through your secret manager.
2. **Restrict data directory permissions:**
```bash
chmod 750 /persistent/ngit-grasp
chown ngit-grasp-production:ngit-grasp /persistent/ngit-grasp
```
3. **Use HTTPS (reverse proxy required):**
- ngit-grasp binds to localhost by default
- Use Caddy/nginx for TLS termination
- Caddy handles certificates automatically
4. **Monitor logs regularly:**
```bash
journalctl -u ngit-grasp-production --since today | grep -i error
```
---
## Monitoring
### Prometheus Metrics
ngit-grasp exposes Prometheus metrics at `/metrics`:
```bash
curl http://localhost:8082/metrics
```
See [Prometheus Setup](./prometheus-setup.md) for complete monitoring guide.
### Basic Health Checks
```bash
# Check if service is running
systemctl is-active ngit-grasp-production
# Check if port is listening
nc -zv localhost 8082
# Check relay info
curl https://ngit.example.com -H "Accept: application/nostr+json"
# Check disk usage
du -sh /persistent/ngit-grasp/*
```
## Backup
Back up the complete `dataDir`, including `.relay-owner.nsec`, `git/`, and
`relay/`, from one point in time. For a portable consistent backup, stop the
instance before taking the snapshot:
```bash
systemctl stop ngit-grasp-production
# Snapshot or back up /persistent/ngit-grasp with the host's storage tooling.
systemctl start ngit-grasp-production
```
Keep an off-host copy and test restoration into an isolated, non-public
instance. Never start the restored copy alongside production with the same
domain and relay identity.

# Deploy on managed hosting
The supplied container can run on Railway, Render, and Fly.io when each service
has a custom domain, one persistent `/data` volume, and exactly one running
instance. These platforms terminate TLS and proxy WebSockets to ngit-grasp.
Managed hosting is best for a small or moderate relay whose operator accepts
brief upgrade downtime. For a large existing relay, use NixOS, systemd, or
Compose so startup migrations and storage snapshots remain under direct
operator control.
Read the [deployment contract](../reference/deployment-contract.md) first. In
particular, provider replicas do not make ngit-grasp highly available: their
local volumes do not replicate application state.
## Common requirements
For every provider:
- set `NGIT_DOMAIN` to the final custom hostname, not the provider hostname;
- mount durable storage at `/data` before the first successful start;
- keep the instance count at one and disable scale-to-zero;
- keep `NGIT_BASE_PATH=/` unless path routing has been designed explicitly;
- allow at least five minutes between `SIGTERM` and forced termination; and
- take an external backup of `/data`, including `.relay-owner.nsec`.
The image maps a platform-provided `PORT` to `0.0.0.0:${PORT}`. Do not set
`NGIT_BIND_ADDRESS` unless the provider template below does so explicitly.
## Railway
`railway.toml` selects the Dockerfile, uses `/` as the health check, disables
old/new deployment overlap, and gives shutdown five minutes. Railway storage is
configured separately from config-as-code. See Railway's
[config-as-code reference](https://docs.railway.com/config-as-code/reference)
and [volume guide](https://docs.railway.com/volumes) for the provider-side
details.
From the repository root with the Railway CLI installed:
```bash
railway login
railway init
railway add --service ngit-grasp
railway service ngit-grasp
railway variable set NGIT_DOMAIN=ngit.example.com NGIT_BASE_PATH=/
railway volume add --mount-path /data
railway up
railway domain ngit.example.com
```
Add the DNS records returned by `railway domain`, then inspect status and verify
the public relay:
```bash
railway domain status ngit.example.com
railway deployment list --json
scripts/verify-deployment.sh https://ngit.example.com
```
Do not add replicas or multi-region configuration. Railway mounts a new volume
as root; the image entrypoint prepares it and drops privileges before starting
ngit-grasp.
Railway volume backups are useful recovery points, but also export or snapshot
state outside the platform. During a large storage migration, increase the
health-check timeout or move the upgrade to a directly operated host.
## Render
`render.yaml` describes a paid `starter` web service with a 10 GB disk mounted
at `/data`, a root health check, a five-minute shutdown delay, and automatic
deploys disabled. Render prompts for `NGIT_DOMAIN` when the Blueprint is
created. The fields follow Render's
[Blueprint specification](https://render.com/docs/blueprint-spec); its
[persistent disk guide](https://render.com/docs/disks) describes the storage
and scaling constraints.
Render Blueprints require a repository connected through one of Render's
supported Git providers. Until ngit-grasp has an authorized mirror or published
OCI image, use Render's **Public Git Repository** flow with the canonical URL:
```text
https://gitnostr.com/npub15qydau2hjma6ngxkl2cyar74wzyjshvl65za5k5rl69264ar2exs5cyejr/ngit-grasp.git
```
Choose Docker and apply the values from `render.yaml` in the service form:
- environment variable `NGIT_DOMAIN=ngit.example.com`;
- persistent disk mounted at `/data`;
- health check path `/`;
- maximum shutdown delay 300 seconds; and
- one instance with automatic deploys disabled.
Add and verify the custom domain before publishing it in repository
announcements. Render services backed by a persistent disk cannot run multiple
instances and have brief downtime during deploys, which matches the relay's
single-writer requirement.
After a manual deploy, run:
```bash
scripts/verify-deployment.sh https://ngit.example.com
```
Use Render disk snapshots plus an independent backup. Only `/data` persists;
all other container filesystem changes are ephemeral.
## Fly.io
Fly volumes are local to one Machine and are not automatically replicated. The
template therefore disables autostop, uses an immediate replacement strategy,
and must be deployed with high-availability seeding disabled. See Fly's
[configuration reference](https://fly.io/docs/reference/configuration/) and
[volume overview](https://fly.io/docs/volumes/overview/) for the underlying
platform behavior.
Copy and edit the template:
```bash
cp fly.toml.example fly.toml
# Set a unique app name, primary region, and NGIT_DOMAIN in fly.toml.
fly config validate --strict --config fly.toml
```
Create the app and one volume in the same region, then deploy one Machine:
```bash
fly apps create replace-with-a-unique-ngit-grasp-name
fly volumes create ngit_grasp_data --region ord --size 10
fly deploy --ha=false
fly scale count 1
fly certs add ngit.example.com
```
Use the app name and region selected in `fly.toml`, add the DNS records shown by
`fly certs`, then verify:
```bash
fly checks list
fly scale show
scripts/verify-deployment.sh https://ngit.example.com
```
Never scale above one: Fly creates a separate empty volume for each additional
Machine and does not copy ngit-grasp state. A single Machine and volume can be
unavailable after host failure, so maintain an external backup rather than
relying only on Fly snapshots.
## Upgrades
Managed volume deployments cannot provide a safe zero-downtime writer handoff.
Expect brief downtime:
1. disable automatic deploys;
2. take a complete provider snapshot and an external backup;
3. deploy the pinned revision with one instance;
4. inspect startup and integrity logs; and
5. run the public verifier.
For a storage-changing release, restore both the prior executable and its
matching pre-upgrade `/data` snapshot when rolling back.

# Deploy in a Proxmox LXC container or VM
ngit-grasp has no kernel-virtualization or nested-container requirement. The
preferred Proxmox layout is an unprivileged Debian or Ubuntu LXC running the
static binary as a systemd service.
## Container requirements
- an unprivileged LXC or ordinary VM with systemd
- network access to public HTTPS and WebSocket relays
- inbound HTTP/HTTPS through the Proxmox network or an external proxy
- durable storage sized for Git repositories, LMDB, holding data, and backups
Docker nesting is not required for the direct binary path. Leave it disabled
unless using the Compose alternative below.
## Direct systemd path
Follow [Deploy a static binary with systemd](deploy-linux.md) inside the guest.
Keep `/var/lib/ngit-grasp` on storage included in the guest's snapshot and
backup policy.
When the Proxmox host bind-mounts a dataset into an unprivileged LXC, map its
ownership to the container's `ngit-grasp` UID/GID before starting the service.
Verify this from inside the container:
```bash
sudo -u ngit-grasp test -w /var/lib/ngit-grasp
sudo -u ngit-grasp git --version
```
Terminate TLS either inside the guest with Caddy or at an upstream proxy. If
the upstream proxy connects directly to ngit-grasp, add only that private
source address to `NGIT_TRUSTED_PROXY_CIDRS` and prevent other clients from
reaching port 7334.
## Compose alternative
If the guest already operates Docker or Podman, follow the
[Docker guide](deploy-docker.md). Docker inside LXC generally requires the
Proxmox nesting feature; the static binary path avoids that extra layer.
Do not mount the host Docker socket into the relay container. ngit-grasp needs
Git, not a container daemon.
## Backup and upgrade
For a simple consistent backup:
1. stop `ngit-grasp` inside the guest;
2. snapshot or back up the guest and its attached state storage;
3. start the service; and
4. verify the public endpoint.
Proxmox snapshots are not a substitute for an off-host backup. Before a
storage-changing upgrade, confirm that the state volume participates in the
snapshot and that the snapshot can be restored without starting a second
writer against the production domain.

# How-To: Deploy ngit-grasp to Production
# Deploy ngit-grasp
**Purpose:** Deploy ngit-grasp to a production NixOS server
**Difficulty:** Intermediate
**Time:** 30-60 minutes
ngit-grasp supports several single-instance production layouts. Choose the
guide matching the host you already operate; every guide implements the same
[deployment contract](../reference/deployment-contract.md).
---
| Environment | Start here | Supplied artifact |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Docker or Podman host | [Docker and Compose](deploy-docker.md) | `Dockerfile`, `compose.yaml`, optional Caddy overlay |
| NixOS | [NixOS module](deploy-nixos.md) | `nixosModules.default` |
| Debian, Ubuntu, or another systemd Linux | [Static binary and systemd](deploy-linux.md) | Static flake package and service unit |
| Proxmox LXC or VM | [Proxmox](deploy-proxmox-lxc.md) | Direct systemd or Compose path |
| Railway, Render, or Fly.io | [Managed hosting](deploy-paas.md) | Provider configuration templates |
## Problem
You want to:
- Deploy ngit-grasp to a NixOS server
- Configure it as a systemd service
- Set up reverse proxy (Caddy)
- Ensure proper security and monitoring
---
## Prerequisites
- NixOS server with SSH access
- Flakes enabled on server and local machine
- Domain name configured (DNS pointing to server)
- Basic knowledge of NixOS configuration
---
## Solution
### Step 1: Add ngit-grasp to Your Server's Flake
In your server's `flake.nix`, add ngit-grasp as an input:
```nix
{
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-24.11";
ngit-grasp.url = "github:DanConwayDev/ngit-grasp";
# or use a specific git repository:
# ngit-grasp.url = "git+https://git.shakespeare.diy/npub.../ngit-grasp.git";
};
outputs = { self, nixpkgs, ngit-grasp, ... }@inputs: {
nixosConfigurations.your-hostname = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
system = "x86_64-linux";
specialArgs = { inherit inputs; };
modules = [
./configuration.nix
# ... other modules
];
};
};
}
```
---
### Step 2: Create Service Configuration
Create a new file for your ngit-grasp service (e.g., `services/ngit-grasp.nix`):
```nix
{ inputs, ... }:
{
imports = [ inputs.ngit-grasp.nixosModules.default ];
services.ngit-grasp.production = {
enable = true;
domain = "ngit.example.com";
# Network
bindAddress = "127.0.0.1";
port = 8082;
# Only Caddy can reach the loopback backend, so its forwarded client IP is trusted.
trustedProxyCidrs = [ "127.0.0.1/32" ];
# Storage
dataDir = "/persistent/ngit-grasp";
# Identity
relayName = "My GRASP Relay";
relayDescription = "A Rust GRASP implementation with proactive sync";
relayOwnerNsecFile = "/run/agenix/ngit-grasp-relay-owner-nsec";
# Sync - bootstrap from relay.ngit.dev
syncBootstrapRelayUrl = "wss://relay.ngit.dev";
# Metrics
metricsEnabled = true;
# Logging
logLevel = "info";
};
# Caddy reverse proxy
services.caddy.virtualHosts."ngit.example.com" = {
extraConfig = ''
reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:8082 {
# Caddy manages X-Forwarded-For automatically.
header_up X-Real-IP {remote_host}
}
'';
};
}
```
**Key configuration options:**
- **Instance name** (`production`): Can be any name. Used for systemd service (`ngit-grasp-production`)
- **domain**: Your relay's domain (used in GRASP validation)
- **port**: Local port (use reverse proxy for HTTPS)
- **trustedProxyCidrs**: Proxy source ranges allowed to supply the client IP
- Keep empty for a directly exposed listener
- Keep the backend private; trusting a public-facing source range permits spoofed headers
- Caddy automatically maintains `X-Forwarded-For`; `header_up`, not `header_down`,
changes headers sent to the backend
- **dataDir**: Where git repos and database are stored
- **relayOwnerNsecFile**: Path to file containing relay owner's nsec
- Passed to ngit-grasp as a protected systemd credential, not a process argument
- The runtime secret file must already exist (for example through agenix or sops-nix)
- Permissions on that external source file remain the operator or secret manager's responsibility
- Alternative: `relayOwnerNsec = "nsec1..."` (less secure, in nix store)
- If neither option is set, ngit-grasp loads or creates `.relay-owner.nsec` in `dataDir`
- **syncBootstrapRelayUrl**: Bootstrap relay to sync from on startup
See [nix/example-configuration.nix](../../nix/example-configuration.nix) for more examples.
---
### Step 3: Import the Service
Import your service configuration in your main configuration file:
```nix
# In configuration.nix or services/default.nix
{
imports = [
./services/ngit-grasp.nix
# ... other services
];
}
```
---
### Step 4: Update Flake Lock
For a fresh internet-facing VPS, the shortest supported path is Docker Compose
with the Caddy overlay:
```bash
cd /path/to/server/config
nix flake update ngit-grasp
git add flake.lock
git commit -m "Add ngit-grasp and update flake.lock"
cp deploy.env.example .env
# Set NGIT_DOMAIN in .env and point its DNS records at this server.
docker compose -f compose.yaml -f compose.caddy.yaml up --build -d
scripts/verify-deployment.sh https://ngit.example.com
```
---
The Caddy path requires ports 80 and 443. If the host already has a reverse
proxy, follow the loopback-only path in the Docker guide instead.
### Step 5: Validate Configuration
## Unsupported layouts
Before deploying, validate that the flake evaluates without starting its builds:
Do not deploy ngit-grasp to serverless functions, an ephemeral filesystem, or
multiple replicas. It owns long-lived WebSockets, background synchronization,
local Git repositories, LMDB state, and a durable relay identity.
```bash
nix flake check --no-build
```
#### Resource-safe module validation
Nix copies path-valued build inputs into the store when they are forced. A Git
flake is materialized from its tracked files first, but a standalone path into a
working tree does not inherit that Git filtering.
This matters when testing ngit-grasp's NixOS module locally. Importing
`nix/module.nix` is lazy by itself, but rendering an enabled service forces the
module-built package through `ExecStart`. The package's `src = ../.` then
resolves relative to that module. If the module was imported directly from a
working tree, Nix may recursively hash or copy ignored `target/`, `.git`, and
linked-worktree data while it appears to be evaluating the configuration.
Use `inputs.ngit-grasp.nixosModules.default` from a Git-backed flake input, as
shown above. For local module changes, commit them to a temporary Git branch and
use that Git source, or replace `buildRustPackage` with a test stub that ignores
all build attributes so `src` remains unforced. Do not use a direct
working-tree module import for a test that enables an instance.
Inspect the derivation plan before starting a build:
```bash
nixos-rebuild dry-build --flake .#your-hostname
```
Multiple ngit-grasp instances should normally share one ngit-grasp package
derivation. Avoid service-level `ExecStart` overrides that force another flake
package or Rust toolchain. If distinct versions are intentional, build them
sequentially or on appropriately sized remote builders. For an initial local
build, constrain Nix while confirming the plan behaves as expected:
```bash
nixos-rebuild build --flake .#your-hostname --max-jobs 1 --cores 2
```
---
### Step 6: Deploy to Server
Deploy the new configuration to your server:
```bash
# Build and switch in one command (builds on server)
nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#your-hostname \
--target-host user@server.example.com \
--use-remote-sudo \
--build-host user@server.example.com
```
**Alternative:** Build locally, then deploy:
```bash
# Build locally
nixos-rebuild build --flake .#your-hostname
# Deploy to server
nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#your-hostname \
--target-host user@server.example.com \
--use-remote-sudo
```
**Note:** Building locally requires your machine to trust the server's nix signing key.
---
### Step 7: Verify Deployment
SSH to the server and check the service:
```bash
ssh user@server.example.com
# Check service status
systemctl status ngit-grasp-production
# View logs
journalctl -u ngit-grasp-production -f
# Check if listening on port
ss -tlnp | grep 8082
```
---
### Step 8: Test Functionality
From your local machine, test the relay:
```bash
# Test NIP-11 relay info
curl https://ngit.example.com -H "Accept: application/nostr+json" | jq
# Test WebSocket connection
websocat wss://ngit.example.com
# Then type: ["REQ","test",{}]
# Should receive events
# Test git clone (if you have repos)
git ls-remote https://ngit.example.com/<npub>/<repo>.git
```
---
## Configuration Options
### Required
- `enable` - Enable this instance
- `domain` - Domain where relay is hosted
### Network
- `basePath` - Public URL mount path (default: `/`)
- `bindAddress` - IP to bind to (default: "127.0.0.1")
- `port` - Port to listen on (default: 7334)
- `trustedProxyCidrs` - Proxy networks allowed to provide the WebSocket client
IP (default: empty; forwarded headers ignored)
### Storage
- `dataDir` - Base directory for data (default: /var/lib/ngit-grasp-{name})
- `databaseBackend` - "lmdb" | "memory" (default: "lmdb")
See [Upgrade Git family storage](upgrade-git-family-storage.md) before updating
an existing instance to a release that enables identifier-family storage.
### Identity
- `relayName` - Relay name for NIP-11 (default: "{domain} grasp relay")
- `relayDescription` - Relay description
- `relayOwnerNsecFile` - Runtime secret file loaded as a systemd credential (recommended)
- `relayOwnerNsec` - Inline nsec (less secure)
### Sync
- `syncBootstrapRelayUrl` - Bootstrap relay URL (optional)
- `syncDisableNegentropy` - Disable NIP-77 negentropy (default: false)
- `syncMaxBackoffSecs` - Max backoff for reconnection (default: 3600)
- `syncDisconnectCheckIntervalSecs` - Check interval (default: 60)
- `syncBaseBackoffSecs` - Base backoff time (default: 5)
### Metrics
- `metricsEnabled` - Enable `/metrics` below the configured base path (default: true)
- `metricsConnectionPerIpAbuseThreshold` - Abuse threshold (default: 10)
- `metricsTopNRepos` - Number of top repos to track (default: 10)
### Logging
- `logLevel` - "trace" | "debug" | "info" | "warn" | "error" (default: "info")
### Security
- `user` - User to run as (default: "ngit-grasp-{name}")
- `group` - Group to run as (default: "ngit-grasp")
See [nix/module.nix](../../nix/module.nix) for complete option definitions.
---
## Systemd Service
The NixOS module creates a systemd service: `ngit-grasp-{instance-name}`
```bash
# Start/stop/restart
systemctl start ngit-grasp-production
systemctl stop ngit-grasp-production
systemctl restart ngit-grasp-production
# Enable/disable autostart
systemctl enable ngit-grasp-production
systemctl disable ngit-grasp-production
# View logs
journalctl -u ngit-grasp-production -f
journalctl -u ngit-grasp-production --since "1 hour ago"
# Check status
systemctl status ngit-grasp-production
```
---
## Multiple Instances
You can run multiple instances on the same server:
```nix
services.ngit-grasp = {
production = {
enable = true;
domain = "ngit.example.com";
port = 8082;
dataDir = "/persistent/ngit-production";
};
staging = {
enable = true;
domain = "ngit-staging.example.com";
port = 8083;
dataDir = "/persistent/ngit-staging";
logLevel = "debug";
};
};
```
Each instance:
- Runs as separate systemd service: `ngit-grasp-production`, `ngit-grasp-staging`
- Has its own user: `ngit-grasp-production`, `ngit-grasp-staging`
- Stores data in separate directory
- Can have different configuration
---
## Troubleshooting
### Service won't start
**Check logs:**
```bash
journalctl -u ngit-grasp-production -n 50
```
**Common issues:**
- Port already in use: Check with `ss -tlnp | grep 8082`
- Data directory permissions: Should be owned by service user
- Invalid nsec file: Check file exists and contains valid nsec
### Can't connect via WebSocket
**Check:**
- Service is running: `systemctl status ngit-grasp-production`
- Firewall allows connections: `nix-shell -p nmap --run "nmap -p 443 ngit.example.com"`
- Caddy is configured correctly: `systemctl status caddy`
- DNS resolves: `dig ngit.example.com`
### Sync not working
**Check logs for sync errors:**
```bash
journalctl -u ngit-grasp-production | grep -i sync
```
**Common issues:**
- Bootstrap relay URL incorrect or unreachable
- Network connectivity issues
- Bootstrap relay doesn't support negentropy (disable with `syncDisableNegentropy = true`)
### High memory/CPU usage
**Monitor metrics:**
```bash
curl http://localhost:8082/metrics
```
**Tune configuration:**
- Reduce `metricsTopNRepos`
- Increase `syncMaxBackoffSecs`
- Tune `syncMaxBackoffSecs` for your network conditions
---
## Rollback
If deployment fails, rollback to previous configuration:
```bash
# On the server
nixos-rebuild switch --rollback
# Or remotely
nixos-rebuild switch --rollback \
--target-host user@server.example.com \
--use-remote-sudo
```
---
## Upgrading
To upgrade ngit-grasp:
```bash
# Update flake input
nix flake update ngit-grasp
# Review changes
git diff flake.lock
# Commit
git add flake.lock
git commit -m "Update ngit-grasp"
# Deploy
nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#your-hostname \
--target-host user@server.example.com \
--use-remote-sudo \
--build-host user@server.example.com
```
---
## Security Hardening
The NixOS module includes systemd hardening:
- `NoNewPrivileges = true` - Prevents privilege escalation
- `ProtectSystem = "strict"` - Read-only filesystem except dataDir
- `ProtectHome = true` - No access to home directories
- `PrivateTmp = true` - Private /tmp
- `RestrictAddressFamilies` - Only allow needed network families
- `SystemCallFilter` - Restrict system calls
Additional recommendations:
1. **Use a runtime secret file instead of an inline key:**
```nix
relayOwnerNsecFile = "/run/agenix/ngit-grasp-relay-owner-nsec";
# NOT: relayOwnerNsec = "nsec1..."; # Ends up in nix store!
```
The module exposes the file to ngit-grasp as the `relay_owner_nsec`
systemd credential. The key does not appear in `ExecStart` or the process
command line. ngit-grasp does not modify the external source file; keep its
ownership and permissions restricted through your secret manager.
2. **Restrict data directory permissions:**
```bash
chmod 750 /persistent/ngit-grasp
chown ngit-grasp-production:ngit-grasp /persistent/ngit-grasp
```
3. **Use HTTPS (reverse proxy required):**
- ngit-grasp binds to localhost by default
- Use Caddy/nginx for TLS termination
- Caddy handles certificates automatically
4. **Monitor logs regularly:**
```bash
journalctl -u ngit-grasp-production --since today | grep -i error
```
---
## Monitoring
### Prometheus Metrics
ngit-grasp exposes Prometheus metrics at `/metrics`:
```bash
curl http://localhost:8082/metrics
```
See [Prometheus Setup](./prometheus-setup.md) for complete monitoring guide.
### Basic Health Checks
```bash
# Check if service is running
systemctl is-active ngit-grasp-production
# Check if port is listening
nc -zv localhost 8082
# Check relay info
curl https://ngit.example.com -H "Accept: application/nostr+json"
# Check disk usage
du -sh /persistent/ngit-grasp/*
```

Kubernetes can run the container as a one-replica StatefulSet with a
ReadWriteOnce volume, but the repository does not yet ship or promise a Helm
chart. A container host or systemd service is simpler unless Kubernetes is an
existing operational requirement.

# Deployment contract
This reference defines the runtime assumptions shared by every supported
ngit-grasp deployment. Environment-specific guides should provide these
properties rather than inventing a different layout.
## Process
ngit-grasp is one long-running process. It serves Git Smart HTTP, Nostr
WebSockets, NIP-11, landing pages, and Prometheus metrics from one HTTP port.
The process must:
- have `git` and trusted CA certificates available at runtime;
- receive `SIGTERM` during a controlled stop;
- have enough shutdown time to persist state and clean up temporary refs; and
- run as a non-root user after writable storage has been prepared.
## Required configuration
`NGIT_DOMAIN` is the only required application setting. It is the canonical
public hostname, without a URL scheme or path:
```text
NGIT_DOMAIN=ngit.example.com
```
When the relay is mounted below a shared hostname, set `NGIT_BASE_PATH` to the
public path. Otherwise keep the default `/`.
The listener defaults to `127.0.0.1:7334`. A container or managed platform must
override it to an externally reachable container address. The supplied image
does this automatically, using `0.0.0.0:${PORT}` when the platform provides
`PORT` and `0.0.0.0:7334` otherwise.
See the [configuration reference](configuration.md) for optional policy,
sync, curation, resource-limit, and private-service settings.
## Public endpoint
The public endpoint must preserve HTTP methods, request bodies, query strings,
and WebSocket upgrades. TLS normally terminates at Caddy, nginx, an ingress,
or the hosting platform.
Configure `NGIT_TRUSTED_PROXY_CIDRS` only when all of the following are true:
- the backend is unreachable except through the named proxies;
- the proxy overwrites or safely appends forwarding headers; and
- every trusted hop is represented by an exact address or narrow CIDR.
Leaving the setting empty is safe. The relay then ignores forwarding headers
and records the proxy address instead of the original client address.
## Durable state
Every production deployment must persist these three items together:
| Path | Contents |
| --- | --- |
| `.relay-owner.nsec` | Generated relay identity, unless an external credential supplies it |
| `git/` | Git object families, repository views, holding data, and maintenance queues |
| `relay/` | LMDB relay events, lifecycle metadata, cursors, and rejected-event state |
The container contract places them below `/data`:
```text
/data/.relay-owner.nsec
/data/git/
/data/relay/
```
The NixOS and generic systemd deployments use the same relative layout below
their configured state directory.
Back up the entire state directory from one point in time. A simple portable
backup should stop the service first; a storage-level snapshot may instead
quiesce or atomically snapshot the filesystem. A backup that omits the owner
key changes the relay identity on restore. A backup that captures Git and LMDB
at unrelated times can restore an inconsistent authorization view.
## One writer
An ngit-grasp state directory has exactly one writer. Do not:
- run multiple replicas against one filesystem or network volume;
- attach independent local volumes to replicas and load-balance between them;
- use rolling or blue/green replacement that overlaps two writers; or
- scale the service to zero when that can discard or detach its durable volume.
Run one instance and scale it vertically. Separate instances are supported
only when each has its own domain, relay identity, and state directory.
## Identity and secrets
The default is intentionally low ceremony: on first start, ngit-grasp creates
`.relay-owner.nsec` with mode `0600` in its working directory and reuses it on
later starts. Protect and back up that file.
To supply an existing identity:
- use the `relay_owner_nsec` systemd credential where available;
- mount `.relay-owner.nsec` into the persistent state directory; or
- as a less preferred container fallback, use the
`NGIT_RELAY_OWNER_NSEC` secret environment variable.
Never put an nsec in a command-line argument, image, Compose file, Nix store,
checked-in environment file, or hosting template.
## Health and verification
The HTTP listener starts only after configuration validation, storage
initialization, migrations, and startup integrity work. Until a dedicated
health route exists, platform health checks should request the configured base
path and accept any `2xx` response.
After deployment, run:
```bash
scripts/verify-deployment.sh https://ngit.example.com
```
The verifier checks NIP-11, an HTTP/1.1 WebSocket upgrade, and Prometheus
metrics with bounded network deadlines. Set `VERIFY_METRICS=false` only when
metrics were deliberately disabled.
## Upgrade and rollback
Pin deployments to a reviewed tag or revision. Before changing versions:
1. read `CHANGELOG.md` and any linked migration guide;
2. take a restorable snapshot of the complete state directory;
3. stop the old writer before starting the new one;
4. wait for startup migrations and integrity summaries; and
5. run the deployment verifier.
A binary or image rollback is not necessarily a data rollback. When a release
changes storage, restore the matching pre-upgrade state snapshot before
starting the older version. The
[Git family storage upgrade guide](../how-to/upgrade-git-family-storage.md)
documents the current one-way migration boundary.
