What the hell is this?

In short, we are trying to restructure Project Segfault to make it more secure.

This includes separating things into multiple VMs, and deleting old & unused configs, containers etc.

Overview

There will be 4 VMs, CoreVM, DatabaseVM, DockerVM, ContainVM

CoreVM

CoreVM is the VM that will host the Turnserver and Caddy instance. It is meant to be an "entrypoint" to the other VMs.

Only ssh for core (and git) will be forwarded for security, so you need to ssh into it first before SSHing into the others.

All traffic going to all other VMs will go through this. CoreVM will be the only restructure VM which has access to the LAN network (so that we can do port forward).

It will be connected to both the NATs of restructure VMs (vmbr1) and the Pubnix (vmbr2).

It runs on Debian but might be changed to something else if our security needs grows bigger.

DatabaseVM

DatabaseVM (DBVM) is the VM that will host all the databases for the docker & LXC containers.

It will host Postgres (preferred) & MariaDB (for services that need it).

Separation of the DBVM is so that we can do more optimizations to the DB and use the hardware to its fullest.

This VM will not have internet access at all other than during updates when the IPTables rule will be temporarily disabled.

It also runs on Debian and uses the official postgres & mysql repositories instead of the Debian one.

DockerVM

DockerVM is the VM that will host all the docker containers for our services.

It will be managed with Portainer and the Docker CLI.

It also runs Debian and will use the official docker repository instead of the Debian one.

ContainVM

ContainVM is the VM that will host all the LXC containers used for our services.

It will not have a WebUI and will be fully managed from the CLI alone.

This will host the Wiki and other services to come in the near future.
