# Proxy Server Deploys a secure reverse proxy with Tailscale + Nginx Proxy Manager. ## Quick Start ```bash curl -fsSL https://gitea.arnodo.fr/Damien/infra-scripts/raw/branch/main/proxy/install.sh | bash ``` ## Components - **Tailscale**: Private network access (SSH, admin panel) - **Nginx Proxy Manager**: Public reverse proxy (HTTP/HTTPS) - **UFW**: Firewall (only 80/443 exposed publicly) - **fail2ban** + **unattended-upgrades**: Basic hardening ## Environment Variables | Variable | Default | Description | |----------|---------|-------------| | `PROXY_HOSTNAME` | `proxy` | Server hostname | | `TZ` | `Europe/Paris` | Timezone | Example: ```bash PROXY_HOSTNAME=myproxy TZ=America/New_York curl -fsSL https://gitea.arnodo.fr/Damien/infra-scripts/raw/branch/main/proxy/install.sh | bash ``` ## What it does 1. Sets hostname 2. Installs base packages (vim, fail2ban, unattended-upgrades, at) 3. Installs and connects Tailscale (will prompt for authentication) 4. Configures sysctl for exit-node capability 5. Installs Docker 6. Configures UFW (80/443 public, everything else via Tailscale only) 7. Deploys Nginx Proxy Manager 8. Exposes NPM admin panel via Tailscale serve 9. Temporarily opens SSH port 22 for 5 minutes (safety net) ## SSH Safety Net During installation, SSH port 22 is temporarily opened for 5 minutes to prevent lockout if you're connected via public IP. After 5 minutes, it will be automatically closed and only Tailscale SSH will work. ```bash # List scheduled jobs sudo atq # Cancel the scheduled SSH closure (replace N with job number) sudo atrm N # Manually close SSH port 22 if needed sudo ufw delete allow 22/tcp ``` ## Post-install - Access NPM admin: `https://proxy..ts.net` - Default credentials: `admin@example.com` / `changeme` - Optionally approve exit-node in Tailscale admin console ## Centralized log reception (rsyslog) A fail2ban jail running inside an exposed service's own LXC only ever sees this proxy's tailnet IP as the connection source, so it would end up banning the proxy itself instead of the actual client. Detection has to stay where the signal is (the service's application log); banning has to happen here, where public connections terminate. Services forward their logs to this proxy over TCP so a jail here can act on them. | File | Purpose | |------|---------| | `/etc/rsyslog.d/10-remote-receiver.conf` | Generic `imtcp` listener only (`module`/`input`), port `RSYSLOG_PORT` (default `5514`). No rules here — see why below. | | `/etc/rsyslog.d/50-.conf` | One per exposed service. Routes by tag/programname into that service's own logfile for its dedicated fail2ban jail, then `stop`s so the message doesn't also fall through to the catch-all. | | `/etc/rsyslog.d/90-remote-fallback.conf` | Catch-all: anything a `50-.conf` didn't claim (or before one exists yet) lands in `/var/log/remote/.log`. | | `/etc/logrotate.d/remote-logs` | Rotation for everything under `/var/log/remote/` (`copytruncate`, so fail2ban never loses its file descriptor across a rotation). | rsyslog loads `/etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf` in filename order, and rules within a ruleset run in the order they were loaded — a catch-all in `10-` would fire on *every* message before a `50-.conf` ever got a look, doubling every claimed message into both files. Keeping the listener in `10-`, routing in `50-`, and the catch-all in `90-` puts them in the right order without depending on load-order accidents. Adding a new exposed service is a matter of dropping its `50-.conf` here — nothing else in this list needs to change. A minimal example that routes messages tagged `myservice` into their own file instead of the generic catch-all: ``` $RuleSet remoteLogs if $programname == 'myservice' then { action(type="omfile" file="/var/log/myservice/myservice.log") stop } $RuleSet RSYSLOG_DefaultRuleset ``` Deliberately on the legacy `$RuleSet ` directive rather than the modern `ruleset(name="...") { ... }` object syntax: rsyslog rejects a named ruleset declared with that object syntax more than once ("ruleset ... specified more than once"), which breaks the moment a second `50-.conf` (or `90-remote-fallback.conf`) tries to add its own rules to the same `remoteLogs` ruleset. `$RuleSet ` is a context selector, not a one-shot declaration — any number of files can reopen it to append rules, which is the entire point of this pattern. `RSYSLOG_PORT` and `RSYSLOG_BIND_ADDR` (default `0.0.0.0`) are overridable via environment. The default bind is safe as-is: UFW's default-deny only opens `80/tcp` and `443/tcp` publicly, so port `5514` is reachable exclusively over `tailscale0` regardless of the bind address. Binding to the tailnet IP directly was considered and rejected — it would require `tailscale up` to have already succeeded before rsyslog is configured, which complicates the script's flow (a missing `TS_AUTHKEY` is tolerated today). The residual risk is log injection from anything that reaches the port (which can trigger a false fail2ban ban); narrow `RSYSLOG_BIND_ADDR` to a specific tailnet IP if that risk becomes a concern.
