# Phase 4d: Vault Bootstrap Integration - Implementation Summary
## Overview
Phase 4d implements automatic Vault/OpenBao integration for new NixOS hosts, enabling:
- Zero-touch secret provisioning on first boot
- Automatic AppRole authentication
- Runtime secret fetching with caching
- Periodic secret rotation
**Key principle**: Existing sops-nix infrastructure remains unchanged. This is new infrastructure running in parallel.

```
### Data Flow
1. **Provisioning Time** (Developer → Vault):
- create-host generates AppRole configuration
- Terraform creates AppRole + policy in Vault
- Vault generates wrapped token containing role_id + secret_id
- Wrapped token stored in terraform/vms.tf
2. **Bootstrap Time** (Cloud-init → VM):
- Cloud-init injects wrapped token via /etc/environment
- Bootstrap service unwraps token (single-use operation)
- Stores unwrapped credentials persistently
3. **Runtime** (Service → Vault):
- Service starts
- ExecStartPre hook calls vault-fetch
- vault-fetch authenticates using stored credentials
- Fetches secrets and caches them
- Service reads secrets from filesystem
## Implementation Details
### 1. vault-fetch Helper (`scripts/vault-fetch/`)
**Purpose**: Fetch secrets from Vault and write to filesystem
**Features**:
- Reads AppRole credentials from `/var/lib/vault/approle/`
- Authenticates to Vault (fresh token each time)
- Fetches secret from KV v2 engine
- Writes individual files per secret key
- Updates cache for fallback
- Gracefully degrades to cache if Vault unreachable
**Usage**:
```bash
vault-fetch hosts/monitoring01/grafana /run/secrets/grafana
```
**Environment Variables**:
- `VAULT_ADDR`: Vault server (default: https://vault01.home.2rjus.net:8200)
- `VAULT_SKIP_VERIFY`: Skip TLS verification (default: 1)
**Error Handling**:
- Vault unreachable → Use cache (log warning)
- Invalid credentials → Fail with clear error
- No cache + unreachable → Fail with error
### 2. NixOS Module (`system/vault-secrets.nix`)
**Purpose**: Declarative Vault secret management for NixOS services
**Configuration Options**:
```nix
vault.enable = true; # Enable Vault integration
vault.secrets.<name> = {
secretPath = "hosts/monitoring01/grafana"; # Path in Vault
outputDir = "/run/secrets/grafana"; # Where to write secrets
cacheDir = "/var/lib/vault/cache/grafana"; # Cache location
owner = "grafana"; # File owner
group = "grafana"; # File group
mode = "0400"; # Permissions
services = [ "grafana" ]; # Dependent services
restartTrigger = true; # Enable periodic rotation
restartInterval = "daily"; # Rotation schedule
};
```
**Module Behavior**:
1. **Fetch Service**: Creates `vault-secret-<name>.service`
- Runs on boot and before dependent services
- Calls vault-fetch to populate secrets
- Sets ownership and permissions
2. **Rotation Timer**: Optionally creates `vault-secret-rotate-<name>.timer`
- Scheduled restarts for secret rotation
- Automatically excluded for critical services
- Configurable interval (daily, weekly, monthly)
3. **Critical Service Protection**:
```nix
vault.criticalServices = [ "bind" "openbao" "step-ca" ];
```
Services in this list never get auto-restart timers
### 3. create-host Tool Updates
**New Functionality**:
1. **Vault Terraform Generation** (`generators.py`):
- Creates/updates `terraform/vault/hosts-generated.tf`
- Adds host policy granting access to `secret/data/hosts/<hostname>/*`
- Adds AppRole configuration
- Idempotent (safe to re-run)
2. **Wrapped Token Generation** (`vault_helper.py`):
- Applies Vault Terraform to create AppRole
- Reads role_id from Vault
- Generates secret_id
- Wraps credentials in cubbyhole token (24h TTL, single-use)
- Returns wrapped token
3. **VM Configuration Update** (`manipulators.py`):
- Adds `vault_wrapped_token` field to VM in vms.tf
- Preserves other VM settings
**New CLI Options**:
```bash
create-host --hostname myhost --ip 10.69.13.x/24
# Full workflow with Vault integration
create-host --hostname myhost --skip-vault
# Create host without Vault (legacy behavior)
create-host --hostname myhost --force
# Regenerate everything including new wrapped token
```
**Dependencies Added**:
- `hvac`: Python Vault client library
### 4. Bootstrap Service Updates
**New Behavior** (`hosts/template2/bootstrap.nix`):
```bash
# Check for wrapped token
if [ -n "$VAULT_WRAPPED_TOKEN" ]; then
# Unwrap to get credentials
curl -X POST \
-H "X-Vault-Token: $VAULT_WRAPPED_TOKEN" \
$VAULT_ADDR/v1/sys/wrapping/unwrap
# Store role_id and secret_id
mkdir -p /var/lib/vault/approle
echo "$ROLE_ID" > /var/lib/vault/approle/role-id
echo "$SECRET_ID" > /var/lib/vault/approle/secret-id
chmod 600 /var/lib/vault/approle/*
# Continue with bootstrap...
fi
```
**Error Handling**:
- Token already used → Log error, continue bootstrap
- Token expired → Log error, continue bootstrap
- Vault unreachable → Log warning, continue bootstrap
- **Never fails bootstrap** - host can still run without Vault
### 5. Cloud-init Configuration
**Updates** (`terraform/cloud-init.tf`):
```hcl
write_files:
- path: /etc/environment
content: |
VAULT_ADDR=https://vault01.home.2rjus.net:8200
VAULT_WRAPPED_TOKEN=${vault_wrapped_token}
VAULT_SKIP_VERIFY=1
```
**VM Configuration** (`terraform/vms.tf`):
```hcl
locals {
vms = {
"myhost" = {
ip = "10.69.13.x/24"
vault_wrapped_token = "hvs.CAESIBw..." # Added by create-host
}
}
}
```
### 6. Vault Terraform Structure
**Generated Hosts File** (`terraform/vault/hosts-generated.tf`):
```hcl
locals {
generated_host_policies = {
"myhost" = {
paths = [
"secret/data/hosts/myhost/*",
]
}
}
}
resource "vault_policy" "generated_host_policies" {
for_each = local.generated_host_policies
name = "host-${each.key}"
policy = <<-EOT
path "secret/data/hosts/${each.key}/*" {
capabilities = ["read", "list"]
}
EOT
}
resource "vault_approle_auth_backend_role" "generated_hosts" {
for_each = local.generated_host_policies
backend = vault_auth_backend.approle.path
role_name = each.key
token_policies = ["host-${each.key}"]
secret_id_ttl = 0 # Never expire
token_ttl = 3600 # 1 hour tokens
}
```
**Separation of Concerns**:
- `approle.tf`: Manual host configurations (ha1, monitoring01)
- `hosts-generated.tf`: Auto-generated configurations
- `secrets.tf`: Secret definitions (manual)
- `pki.tf`: PKI infrastructure
## Security Model
### Credential Distribution
**Wrapped Token Security**:
- **Single-use**: Can only be unwrapped once
- **Time-limited**: 24h TTL
- **Safe in git**: Even if leaked, expires quickly
- **Standard Vault pattern**: Built-in Vault feature
**Why wrapped tokens are secure**:
```
Developer commits wrapped token to git
↓
Attacker finds token in git history
↓
Attacker tries to use token
↓
❌ Token already used (unwrapped during bootstrap)
↓
❌ OR: Token expired (>24h old)
```
### AppRole Credentials
**Storage**:
- Location: `/var/lib/vault/approle/`
- Permissions: `600 (root:root)`
- Persistence: Survives reboots
**Security Properties**:
- `role_id`: Non-sensitive (like username)
- `secret_id`: Sensitive (like password)
- `secret_id_ttl = 0`: Never expires (simplicity vs rotation tradeoff)
- Tokens: Ephemeral (1h TTL, not cached)
**Attack Scenarios**:
1. **Attacker gets root on host**:
- Can read AppRole credentials
- Can only access that host's secrets
- Cannot access other hosts' secrets (policy restriction)
- ✅ Blast radius limited to single host
2. **Attacker intercepts wrapped token**:
- Single-use: Already consumed during bootstrap
- Time-limited: Likely expired
- ✅ Cannot be reused
3. **Vault server compromised**:
- All secrets exposed (same as any secret storage)
- ✅ No different from sops-nix master key compromise
### Secret Storage
**Runtime Secrets**:
- Location: `/run/secrets/` (tmpfs)
- Lost on reboot
- Re-fetched on service start
- ✅ Not in Nix store
- ✅ Not persisted to disk
**Cached Secrets**:
- Location: `/var/lib/vault/cache/`
- Persists across reboots
- Only used when Vault unreachable
- ✅ Enables service availability
- ⚠️ May be stale
## Failure Modes
### Wrapped Token Expired
**Symptom**: Bootstrap logs "token expired" error
**Impact**: Host boots but has no Vault credentials
**Fix**: Regenerate token and redeploy
```bash
create-host --hostname myhost --force
cd terraform && tofu apply
```
### Vault Unreachable
**Symptom**: Service logs "WARNING: Using cached secrets"
**Impact**: Service uses stale secrets (may work or fail depending on rotation)
**Fix**: Restore Vault connectivity, restart service
### No Cache Available
**Symptom**: Service fails to start with "No cache available"
**Impact**: Service unavailable until Vault restored
**Fix**: Restore Vault, restart service
### Invalid Credentials
**Symptom**: vault-fetch logs authentication failure
**Impact**: Service cannot start
**Fix**:
1. Check AppRole exists: `vault read auth/approle/role/hostname`
2. Check policy exists: `vault policy read host-hostname`
3. Regenerate credentials if needed
## Migration Path
### Current State (Phase 4d)
- ✅ sops-nix: Used by all existing services
- ✅ Vault: Available for new services
- ✅ Parallel operation: Both work simultaneously
### Future Migration
**Gradual Service Migration**:
1. **Pick a non-critical service** (e.g., test service)
2. **Add Vault secrets**:
```nix
vault.secrets.myservice = {
secretPath = "hosts/myhost/myservice";
};
```
3. **Update service to read from Vault**:
```nix
systemd.services.myservice.serviceConfig = {
EnvironmentFile = "/run/secrets/myservice/password";
};
```
4. **Remove sops-nix secret**
5. **Test thoroughly**
6. **Repeat for next service**
**Critical Services Last**:
- DNS (bind)
- Certificate Authority (step-ca)
- Vault itself (openbao)
**Eventually**:
- All services migrated to Vault
- Remove sops-nix dependency
- Clean up `/secrets/` directory
## Performance Considerations
### Bootstrap Time
**Added overhead**: ~2-5 seconds
- Token unwrap: ~1s
- Credential storage: ~1s
**Total bootstrap time**: Still <2 minutes (acceptable)
### Service Startup
**Added overhead**: ~1-3 seconds per service
- Vault authentication: ~1s
- Secret fetch: ~1s
- File operations: <1s
**Parallel vs Serial**:
- Multiple services fetch in parallel
- No cascade delays
### Cache Benefits
**When Vault unreachable**:
- Service starts in <1s (cache read)
- No Vault dependency for startup
- High availability maintained

# Phase 4d: Vault Bootstrap Integration - Testing Guide
This guide walks through testing the complete Vault bootstrap workflow implemented in Phase 4d.
## Prerequisites
Before testing, ensure:
1. **Vault server is running**: vault01 (vault01.home.2rjus.net:8200) is accessible
2. **Vault access**: You have a Vault token with admin permissions (set `BAO_TOKEN` env var)
3. **Terraform installed**: OpenTofu is available in your PATH
4. **Git repository clean**: All Phase 4d changes are committed to a branch
## Test Scenario: Create vaulttest01
### Step 1: Create Test Host Configuration
Run the create-host tool with Vault integration:
```bash
# Ensure you have Vault token
export BAO_TOKEN="your-vault-admin-token"
# Create test host
nix run .#create-host -- \
--hostname vaulttest01 \
--ip 10.69.13.150/24 \
--cpu 2 \
--memory 2048 \
--disk 20G
# If you need to regenerate (e.g., wrapped token expired):
nix run .#create-host -- \
--hostname vaulttest01 \
--ip 10.69.13.150/24 \
--force
```
**What this does:**
- Creates `hosts/vaulttest01/` configuration
- Updates `flake.nix` with new host
- Updates `terraform/vms.tf` with VM definition
- Generates `terraform/vault/hosts-generated.tf` with AppRole and policy
- Creates a wrapped token (24h TTL, single-use)
- Adds wrapped token to VM configuration
**Expected output:**
```
✓ All validations passed
✓ Created hosts/vaulttest01/default.nix
✓ Created hosts/vaulttest01/configuration.nix
✓ Updated flake.nix
✓ Updated terraform/vms.tf
Configuring Vault integration...
✓ Updated terraform/vault/hosts-generated.tf
Applying Vault Terraform configuration...
✓ Terraform applied successfully
Reading AppRole credentials for vaulttest01...
✓ Retrieved role_id
✓ Generated secret_id
Creating wrapped token (24h TTL, single-use)...
✓ Created wrapped token: hvs.CAESIBw...
⚠️ Token expires in 24 hours
⚠️ Token can only be used once
✓ Added wrapped token to terraform/vms.tf
✓ Host configuration generated successfully!
```
### Step 2: Add Test Service Configuration
Edit `hosts/vaulttest01/configuration.nix` to enable Vault and add a test service:
```nix
{ config, pkgs, lib, ... }:
{
imports = [
../../system
../../common/vm
];
# Enable Vault secrets management
vault.enable = true;
# Define a test secret
vault.secrets.test-service = {
secretPath = "hosts/vaulttest01/test-service";
restartTrigger = true;
restartInterval = "daily";
services = [ "vault-test" ];
};
# Create a test service that uses the secret
systemd.services.vault-test = {
description = "Test Vault secret fetching";
wantedBy = [ "multi-user.target" ];
after = [ "vault-secret-test-service.service" ];
serviceConfig = {
Type = "oneshot";
RemainAfterExit = true;
ExecStart = pkgs.writeShellScript "vault-test" ''
echo "=== Vault Secret Test ==="
echo "Secret path: hosts/vaulttest01/test-service"
if [ -f /run/secrets/test-service/password ]; then
echo "✓ Password file exists"
echo "Password length: $(wc -c < /run/secrets/test-service/password)"
else
echo "✗ Password file missing!"
exit 1
fi
if [ -d /var/lib/vault/cache/test-service ]; then
echo "✓ Cache directory exists"
else
echo "✗ Cache directory missing!"
exit 1
fi
echo "Test successful!"
'';
StandardOutput = "journal+console";
};
};
# Rest of configuration...
networking.hostName = "vaulttest01";
networking.domain = "home.2rjus.net";
systemd.network.networks."10-lan" = {
matchConfig.Name = "ens18";
address = [ "10.69.13.150/24" ];
gateway = [ "10.69.13.1" ];
dns = [ "10.69.13.5" "10.69.13.6" ];
domains = [ "home.2rjus.net" ];
};
system.stateVersion = "25.11";
}
```
### Step 3: Create Test Secrets in Vault
Add test secrets to Vault using Terraform:
Edit `terraform/vault/secrets.tf`:
```hcl
locals {
secrets = {
# ... existing secrets ...
# Test secret for vaulttest01
"hosts/vaulttest01/test-service" = {
auto_generate = true
password_length = 24
}
}
}
```
Apply the Vault configuration:
```bash
cd terraform/vault
tofu apply
```
**Verify the secret exists:**
```bash
export VAULT_ADDR=https://vault01.home.2rjus.net:8200
export VAULT_SKIP_VERIFY=1
vault kv get secret/hosts/vaulttest01/test-service
```
### Step 4: Deploy the VM
**Important**: Deploy within 24 hours of creating the host (wrapped token TTL)
```bash
cd terraform
tofu plan # Review changes
tofu apply # Deploy VM
```
### Step 5: Monitor Bootstrap Process
SSH into the VM and monitor the bootstrap:
```bash
# Watch bootstrap logs
ssh root@vaulttest01
journalctl -fu nixos-bootstrap.service
# Expected log output:
# Starting NixOS bootstrap for host: vaulttest01
# Network connectivity confirmed
# Unwrapping Vault token to get AppRole credentials...
# Vault credentials unwrapped and stored successfully
# Fetching and building NixOS configuration from flake...
# Successfully built configuration for vaulttest01
# Rebooting into new configuration...
```
### Step 6: Verify Vault Integration
After the VM reboots, verify the integration:
```bash
ssh root@vaulttest01
# Check AppRole credentials were stored
ls -la /var/lib/vault/approle/
# Expected: role-id and secret-id files with 600 permissions
cat /var/lib/vault/approle/role-id
# Should show a UUID
# Check vault-secret service ran successfully
systemctl status vault-secret-test-service.service
# Should be active (exited)
journalctl -u vault-secret-test-service.service
# Should show successful secret fetch:
# [vault-fetch] Authenticating to Vault at https://vault01.home.2rjus.net:8200
# [vault-fetch] Successfully authenticated to Vault
# [vault-fetch] Fetching secret from path: hosts/vaulttest01/test-service
# [vault-fetch] Writing secrets to /run/secrets/test-service
# [vault-fetch] - Wrote secret key: password
# [vault-fetch] Successfully fetched and cached secrets
# Check test service passed
systemctl status vault-test.service
journalctl -u vault-test.service
# Should show:
# === Vault Secret Test ===
# ✓ Password file exists
# ✓ Cache directory exists
# Test successful!
# Verify secret files exist
ls -la /run/secrets/test-service/
# Should show password file with 400 permissions
# Verify cache exists
ls -la /var/lib/vault/cache/test-service/
# Should show cached password file
```
## Test Scenarios
### Scenario 1: Fresh Deployment
✅ **Expected**: All secrets fetched successfully from Vault
### Scenario 2: Service Restart
```bash
systemctl restart vault-test.service
```
✅ **Expected**: Secrets re-fetched from Vault, service starts successfully
### Scenario 3: Vault Unreachable
```bash
# On vault01, stop Vault temporarily
ssh root@vault01
systemctl stop openbao
# On vaulttest01, restart test service
ssh root@vaulttest01
systemctl restart vault-test.service
journalctl -u vault-secret-test-service.service | tail -20
```
✅ **Expected**:
- Warning logged: "Using cached secrets from /var/lib/vault/cache/test-service"
- Service starts successfully using cached secrets
```bash
# Restore Vault
ssh root@vault01
systemctl start openbao
```
### Scenario 4: Secret Rotation
```bash
# Update secret in Vault
vault kv put secret/hosts/vaulttest01/test-service password="new-secret-value"
# On vaulttest01, trigger rotation
ssh root@vaulttest01
systemctl restart vault-secret-test-service.service
# Verify new secret
cat /run/secrets/test-service/password
# Should show new value
```
✅ **Expected**: New secret fetched and cached
### Scenario 5: Expired Wrapped Token
```bash
# Wait 24+ hours after create-host, then try to deploy
cd terraform
tofu apply
```
❌ **Expected**: Bootstrap fails with message about expired token
**Fix (Option 1 - Regenerate token only):**
```bash
# Only regenerates the wrapped token, preserves all other configuration
nix run .#create-host -- --hostname vaulttest01 --regenerate-token
cd terraform
tofu apply
```
**Fix (Option 2 - Full regeneration with --force):**
```bash
# Overwrites entire host configuration (including any manual changes)
nix run .#create-host -- --hostname vaulttest01 --force
cd terraform
tofu apply
```
**Recommendation**: Use `--regenerate-token` to avoid losing manual configuration changes.
### Scenario 6: Already-Used Wrapped Token
Try to deploy the same VM twice without regenerating token.
❌ **Expected**: Second bootstrap fails with "token already used" message
## Cleanup
After testing:
```bash
# Destroy test VM
cd terraform
tofu destroy -target=proxmox_vm_qemu.vm[\"vaulttest01\"]
# Remove test secrets from Vault
vault kv delete secret/hosts/vaulttest01/test-service
# Remove host configuration (optional)
git rm -r hosts/vaulttest01
# Edit flake.nix to remove nixosConfigurations.vaulttest01
# Edit terraform/vms.tf to remove vaulttest01
# Edit terraform/vault/hosts-generated.tf to remove vaulttest01
```
## Success Criteria Checklist
Phase 4d is considered successful when:
- [x] create-host generates Vault configuration automatically
- [x] New hosts receive AppRole credentials via cloud-init
- [x] Bootstrap stores credentials in /var/lib/vault/approle/
- [x] Services can fetch secrets using vault.secrets option
- [x] Secrets extracted to individual files in /run/secrets/
- [x] Cached secrets work when Vault is unreachable
- [x] Periodic restart timers work for secret rotation
- [x] Critical services excluded from auto-restart
- [x] Test host deploys and verifies working
- [x] sops-nix continues to work for existing services
## Troubleshooting
### Bootstrap fails with "Failed to unwrap Vault token"
**Possible causes:**
- Token already used (wrapped tokens are single-use)
- Token expired (24h TTL)
- Invalid token
- Vault unreachable
**Solution:**
```bash
# Regenerate token
nix run .#create-host -- --hostname vaulttest01 --force
cd terraform && tofu apply
```
### Secret fetch fails with authentication error
**Check:**
```bash
# Verify AppRole exists
vault read auth/approle/role/vaulttest01
# Verify policy exists
vault policy read host-vaulttest01
# Test authentication manually
ROLE_ID=$(cat /var/lib/vault/approle/role-id)
SECRET_ID=$(cat /var/lib/vault/approle/secret-id)
vault write auth/approle/login role_id="$ROLE_ID" secret_id="$SECRET_ID"
```
### Cache not working
**Check:**
```bash
# Verify cache directory exists and has files
ls -la /var/lib/vault/cache/test-service/
# Check permissions
stat /var/lib/vault/cache/test-service/password
# Should be 600 (rw-------)
```
## Next Steps
After successful testing:
1. Gradually migrate existing services from sops-nix to Vault
2. Consider implementing secret watcher for faster rotation (future enhancement)
3. Phase 4c: Migrate from step-ca to OpenBao PKI
4. Eventually deprecate and remove sops-nix
