+# Bos55 NixOS Config
+
+Automated CI/CD deployment for NixOS homelab using `deploy-rs`.
+
+## Repository Structure
+
+- `hosts/`: Host-specific configurations.
+- `modules/`: Shared NixOS modules.
+- `users/`: User definitions (including the `deploy` user).
+- `secrets/`: Encrypted secrets via `sops-nix`.
+
+## Deployment Workflow
+
+### Prerequisites
+- SSH access to the `deploy` user on target hosts.
+- `deploy-rs` installed locally (`nix profile install github:serokell/deploy-rs`).
+
+### Deployment Modes
+
+1.  **Production Deployment (main branch):**
+    Triggered on push to `main`. Automatically builds and switches all hosts. bootloader is updated.
+    Manual: `deploy .`
+
+2.  **Test Deployment (test-<hostname> branch):**
+    Triggered on push to `test-<hostname>`. Builds and activates the configuration on the specific host **without** updating the bootloader. Reboots will revert to the previous generation.
+    Manual: `deploy .#<hostname>.test`
+
+3.  **Kernel Upgrades / Maintenance:**
+    Use `deploy .#<hostname>.system --boot` to update the bootloader without immediate activation, followed by a manual reboot.
+
+## Local Development
+
+### 1. Developer Shell
+This repository includes a standardized development environment containing all necessary tools (`deploy-rs`, `sops`, `age`, etc.).
+```bash
+nix develop
+# or if using direnv
+direnv allow
+```
+
+### 2. Build a host VM
+You can build a QEMU VM for any host configuration to test changes locally:
+```bash
+nix build .#nixosConfigurations.<hostname>.config.system.build.vm
+./result/bin/run-<hostname>-vm
+```
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> **Network Conflict**: Default VMs use user-mode networking (NAT) which is safe. However, if you configure the VM to use bridge networking, it will attempt to use the static IP defined in `hostIp`. Ensure you do not have a physical host with that IP active on the same bridge to avoid network interference.
+
+### 3. Run Integration Tests
+Run the automated test suite:
+```bash
+nix-build test/vm-test.nix
+```
+
+### 3. Test CI Workflows Locally
+Use `act` to test the GitHub Actions workflows:
+```bash
+act -W .github/workflows/check.yml
+```
+

+# Security and Trust Model
+
+This document outlines the security architecture, trust boundaries, and assumptions of the Bos55 NixOS deployment pipeline. This model is designed to support a multi-member infrastructure team and remains secure even if the repository is published publicly.
+
+## Trust Zones
+
+The system is partitioned into three distinct trust zones, each with specific controls to prevent lateral movement and privilege escalation.
+
+### 🔴 Zone 1: Trusted Maintainers (Source of Truth)
+*   **Actors:** Infrastructure Team / Maintainers.
+*   **Capabilities:** 
+    *   Full access to the Git repository.
+    *   Ownership of `sops-nix` master keys (GPG or Age).
+    *   Direct root access to NixOS hosts via personal SSH keys for emergency maintenance.
+*   **Trust:** Root of trust. All changes must originate from or be approved by a Trusted Maintainer.
+*   **Security Controls:**
+    *   **Signed Commits:** All contributions must be cryptographically signed by a trusted GPG/SSH key to be eligible for deployment.
+    - **MFA:** Hardware-based multi-factor authentication for repository access.
+    - **Metadata Redaction:** Sensitive identifiers like SSH `authorizedKeys` are stored in `sops-nix`. This prevents **infrastructure fingerprinting**, where an attacker could link your public keys to your personal identities or other projects.
+
+### 🟡 Zone 2: CI/CD Pipeline (Automation Layer)
+*   **Actor:** GitHub Actions / Forgejo Runners.
+*   **Capabilities:**
+    *   Builds Nix derivations from the repository.
+    *   Access to the `DEPLOY_SSH_KEY` (allowing SSH access to the `deploy` user on target hosts).
+    *   **Trusted Signers:** The public keys for verifying signatures are stored as a **Runner Secret** (`TRUSTED_SIGNERS`). This hides the identities of the infrastructure team even in a public repository.
+    *   **NO ACCESS** to `sops-nix` decryption keys. Secrets remain encrypted during the build.
+*   **Security Controls:**
+    *   **Signature Enforcement:** The `deploy.yml` workflow verifies the cryptographic signature of every maintainer commit. Deployment is aborted if the signature is missing or untrusted.
+    *   **Sandboxing:** Runners execute in ephemeral, isolated containers. 
+    *   **Branch Protection:** Deployments to production (`main`) require approved Pull Requests. 
+    *   **Fork Protection:** CI workflows (and secrets) are explicitly disabled for forks.
+
+### 🟢 Zone 3: Target NixOS Hosts (Runtime)
+*   **Actor:** Production, Testing, and Service nodes.
+*   **Capabilities:** Decrypt secrets locally using host-specific `age` keys.
+*   **Trust:** Consumers of builds. They trust Zone 2 only for the pushing of store paths and triggering activation scripts.
+*   **Security Controls:**
+    *   **Restricted `deploy` User:** The SSH user for automation is non-root. Sudo access is strictly policed via `sudoers` rules to allow only `nix-env` and `switch-to-configuration`.
+    *   **Immutable Store:** Building on Nix ensures that the system state is derived from a cryptographically hashed store, preventing unauthorized local modifications from persisting across reboots.
+
+---
+
+## Security Assumptions & Policies
+
+### 1. Public Repository Safety
+The repository is designed to be safe for public viewing. No unencrypted secrets should ever be committed. The deployment pipeline is protected against "malicious contributors" via:
+- **Mandatory PR Reviews:** No code can reach the `main` branch without peer review.
+- **Secret Scoping:** Deployment keys are only available to authorized runs on protected branches.
+
+### 2. Supply Chain & Dependencies
+- **Flake Lockfiles:** All dependencies (Nixpkgs, `deploy-rs`, etc.) are pinned to specific git revisions.
+- **Renovate Bot:** Automated version upgrades allow for consistent tracking of upstream changes, though they require manual review or successful status checks for minor/patch versions.
+
+### 3. Signed Commit Enforcement
+To prevent "force-push" attacks or runner compromises from injecting malicious code into the history, the pipeline should be configured to only deploy commits signed by a known "Trusted Maintainer" key. This ensures that even if a git account is compromised, the attacker cannot deploy code without the physical/cryptographic signing key.
+
+---

+
+    subgraph "Zone 2: CI/CD Runner (Sandboxed)"
+        CI["Automated Runner"]
+        SSH_KEY["Deploy SSH Key"]
+    end
+
+    subgraph "Zone 3: NixOS Target Hosts"
+        HOST["Target Host"]
+        HOST_AGE["Host Age Key"]
+    end
+
+    DEV -- "Signed Push / PR" --> CI
+    CI -- "Push Store Paths & Activate" --> HOST
+    HOST_AGE -- "Local Decrypt" --> HOST
+    
+    style DEV fill:#f96,stroke:#333
+    style CI fill:#ff9,stroke:#333
+    style HOST fill:#9f9,stroke:#333
+```
+
+## Security Best Practices for Maintainers
+
+1.  **Keep Master Keys Offline:** Never store `sops-nix` master keys on the CI runner or public servers.
+2.  **Audit Runner Logs:** Periodically review CI execution logs for unexpected behavior.
+3.  **Rotate Deployment Keys:** Rotate the `DEPLOY_SSH_KEY` if maintainer membership changes significantly.
