admin 89a2e508a7 scripts: felhom-host-install.sh v1.0.0 — Day-0 host bootstrap (live-validated)
Operator-run Day-0 automation for a fresh PVE host: pveum token -> hub
POST /host-enroll (single secret, option C) -> agent config -> felhom-agent
--selftest=provision -> verify. Idempotent/resumable (state.json), --dry-run,
--resume, --force, --preserve-from; --mode dr is a documented 10D stub.

Live-validated on felhom-pve: authorized wipe of demo guest 9201 + full
re-provision from the golden -> controller config-pull + public tunnel HTTP 200
+ host-report of 9201; idempotent --resume no-op. Found+fixed one ordering bug
during the run (token ACL must be applied AFTER token rotation — token-remove
purges the ACL).

Adds scripts/README.md (operator runbook) + scripts/CHANGELOG.md; REPORT
overwritten; spike doc pointer added. No service code changed.

Felhom host scripts

Operator-side scripts for standing up a Felhom Proxmox host.

felhom-host-install.sh — Day-0 host bootstrap (operator-deploy)

Run on a freshly-PVE-installed box to fully automate Day-0: Proxmox API token → hub host enrollment (single secret) → agent config → guest provision → verify. It composes already-proven mechanisms (the pveum role/token sequence, the hub POST /host-enroll enrollment from option C, and felhom-agent --selftest=provision). The agent renders bootstrap.json into the guest and the controller pulls its own controller.yaml in-guest — the script never fetches it.

Grounding: documentation/audits/SPIKE-day0-firstboot-handshake-2026-06-26.md.

Prerequisites (manual, before running)

  1. Install Proxmox VE 9.x on the box. During the installer, use Advanced → LVM sizing so local-lvm (the pve/data thin pool) has enough room for the appliance volumes — a useful box wants ≥ ~120 GiB free on local-lvm (rootfs 32G + Docker-data ~200G + user-data ~50G after grows). The script refuses below the hard minimum.
  2. SSH into the box as root.
  3. Create the customer in the hub first (hub UI → new customer). The customer's retrieval passphrase (a 5-word Hungarian phrase) is the only secret you carry to the box.
  4. A golden archive must exist on the archive storage (newest vzdump-lxc-<golden-vmid>). If none exists, build one with felhom-agent/configs/build-golden.sh first.
  5. The felhom-agent binary + its systemd unit installed (the script auto-detects the unit's -config path; if the binary is absent it tells you to install it).

Usage

curl -fsSL https://felhom.eu/scripts/felhom-host-install.sh -o felhom-host-install.sh
chmod +x felhom-host-install.sh

# secure no-echo passphrase prompt:
sudo ./felhom-host-install.sh --customer-id <customer>

# or from a 0600 file (no prompt):
sudo ./felhom-host-install.sh --customer-id <customer> --passphrase-file /root/.pass

# preview every mutating command without executing:
sudo ./felhom-host-install.sh --customer-id <customer> --dry-run

# resume after a fixed mid-way failure (skips completed steps):
sudo ./felhom-host-install.sh --customer-id <customer> --resume

The passphrase is read no-echo or from a 0600 file — never a CLI argument, never echoed, never written to the state file or logs. The minted Proxmox-token secret and the per-host hub api_key live only in the agent config (0600, root).

Key options

Option Default Purpose
--customer-id ID (required) customer (must already exist in the hub)
--vmid N 9201 guest VMID to provision
--golden VOLID newest vzdump-lxc-<golden-vmid> golden archive
--rootfs/--datavol/--sysdata-grow N auto-compute volume grows (GiB over the golden base 32/16/8)
--passphrase-file PATH no-echo prompt read passphrase from a 0600 file
--preserve-from PATH merge non-Day-0 sections (PBS/local_api/privileged/authz) from an existing config
--dry-run / --resume / --force off preview / resume / clobber an existing vmid
--mode provision|dr provision dr is a documented 10D stub (not implemented)

Behaviour notes

  • Idempotent + resumable. A step-state file (/var/lib/felhom-install/state.json) records completed steps; --resume skips them. A plain re-run refuses to clobber an existing --vmid (pass --force to override).
  • Single-secret enrollment. POST /host-enroll mints on first call (201) and reuses the credential on later calls (200) — re-running never orphans a running agent's key. The global operator key is never used.
  • Token automation. Creates/normalises the 16-priv FelhomAgent role, the felhom-agent@pve user + privsep token, and both ACL grants (user and token — the ACL is applied after the token exists, because pveum user token remove purges it).
  • DR mode (--mode dr) is a documented seam only — it restores the customer's own PBS whole-CT snapshot instead of the golden. Not implemented (10D).

Productionization hooks (not done here)

  • Serving: place this file where the felhom.eu site serves it at https://felhom.eu/scripts/felhom-host-install.sh (a static route; verify on deploy).
  • Agent binary delivery: the script expects the agent pre-installed; a fetch-from-release step is the documented hook.
  • Golden delivery: the test used a local golden; central download + checksum verify is the remaining hook.
