Xdev Host Manager

Local host registry and management UI for the Madagascar network.

This project lives on jumper and is the local source for:

• config/hosts.yaml - git-versioned host registry
• config/local-hosts.tsv - DNS manifest exported for local resolvers
• scripts/host_manager.pl - Perl-only web app
• scripts/sync_local_hosts.sh - local DNS sync to is-vpn-gw and as01
• scripts/ca_manager.sh - local OpenSSL CA helper for host certificates

The public xdev.ro zone is maintained in the separate DNS public-zone repository.

Runtime path:

/usr/local/xdev-host-manager

Secrets live outside git in /etc/xdev/host-manager.env.

The web UI is OTP-protected for all registry data, downloads, exports, and writes. Automation should consume this repository through git with dedicated read-only keys, not through unauthenticated HTTP.

The default internal domain is madagascar.xdev.ro. Short aliases are derived automatically from FQDNs, so autonas01.madagascar.xdev.ro also publishes autonas01 without declaring it separately.

The local host CA stores private material outside git under var/ca. Initialize it on jumper with:

sudo scripts/ca_manager.sh init
