# Phase 4 deferred: mTLS + Infisical
|
|
|
|
The PRD lists mTLS (Layer 2 admin API hardening) and Infisical (secret manager) as Phase 4 work. Both are deliberately deferred. Reasons + trigger criteria below.
|
|
|
|
## mTLS for `/internal/admin/*`
|
|
|
|
**Why deferred:** no spoke currently exposes `/internal/admin/*`. Layer 2 is wire-ready (`AdminClient` with `X-Internal-Token`) but unused. Standing up a CA, distributing client certs, and adding mTLS verification on every spoke before any spoke actually has admin endpoints is premature engineering — we'd ship infrastructure for traffic that doesn't exist.
|
|
|
|
**Threat model today:** spokes have no admin endpoints. There is no Layer 2 traffic to intercept. Tailscale already gates network access to panel-web; the panel cannot be reached from the public internet at all.
|
|
|
|
**Trigger to revisit:**
|
|
- Second spoke ships `/internal/admin/*` (i.e. we have 2+ spokes calling admin endpoints).
|
|
- OR token rotation becomes a chore (manual env updates start drifting).
|
|
- OR a regulatory requirement appears (KVKK audit, customer SOC2 ask, etc.).
|
|
|
|
**When triggered, do:**
|
|
1. Generate a self-signed CA (long-lived) and per-spoke client certs (1-year, rotated by cron).
|
|
2. Add `caCert` / `clientCert` / `clientKey` options to `AdminClient` (already structured for it).
|
|
3. Spoke-side: configure their gateway (Traefik/Caddy/Nginx) to require client cert on `/internal/admin/*`.
|
|
4. Keep `X-Internal-Token` as defense-in-depth (mTLS authenticates client *machine*, token authenticates *application*).
|
|
|
|
## Infisical self-hosted
|
|
|
|
**Why deferred:** no Infisical instance running in this Coolify. Adding it requires (a) deploying Infisical, (b) creating projects + service tokens, (c) installing the agent or SDK in panel-web + panel-worker, (d) migrating ~12 env vars. That's a weekend of work for marginal benefit at this scale — Coolify already encrypts env at rest and audits writes.
|
|
|
|
**Trigger to revisit:**
|
|
- Need to share secrets across multiple machines (right now everything's on `maestro`).
|
|
- Need a secret-rotation cadence (e.g. quarterly rotation of `BETTER_AUTH_SECRET`).
|
|
- Need versioned, time-windowed secrets (preview environments with their own credentials).
|
|
- Need an audit trail of *who looked at* a secret (Coolify only audits writes).
|
|
|
|
**When triggered, do:**
|
|
1. Deploy Infisical via Coolify (1 web + 1 db).
|
|
2. Create project `super-panel` with envs `production` and `staging`.
|
|
3. Install `@infisical/sdk` in both `apps/web` and `apps/worker`, swap `process.env.X` reads through the SDK with cache.
|
|
4. Remove the corresponding Coolify env vars (one at a time; verify on each).
|
|
5. Add CI gate: fail PRs that introduce raw `process.env.<SECRET>` access for known-sensitive keys.
|
|
|
|
## What we *do* have today (Phase 4 actually delivered)
|
|
|
|
- Rate limit on `/sign-in/email` (5/min per IP+email, Redis-backed, fail-open).
|
|
- Daily audit archive to MinIO (90-day retention).
|
|
- Daily `pg_dump` of panel-postgres to MinIO (`panel-backups/`).
|
|
- Restore drill script (`scripts/restore-drill.sh`) — monthly cadence target.
|
|
- DR runbook (`docs/disaster-recovery.md`).
