Synapse mounts its admin API on the same vhost as the client API, so publishing
matrix.phasefinal.com published the admin surface too -- it answered 200 from
the open internet. HMAC-protected, so not an open door, but Synapse's own
guidance is to keep it off the public listener.
A higher-priority router (explicit priority 100, not relying on Traefik's
rule-length tie-break) scopes PathPrefix(/_synapse/admin) behind an ipallowlist.
Verified from a genuinely external vantage rather than from a fleet host, since
nh3-dev sits inside the allowed range and would have proved nothing: via the NH3
residential egress proxy the admin path returns 403 while the client API returns
200 and Element is unaffected.
The 10.0.0.0/8 entry matches nothing today and the comment says so rather than
implying fleet access exists. matrix.phasefinal.com resolves publicly, so fleet
hosts hairpin out their own WAN -- a request from nh3-dev arrived as
70.230.226.88. The rule is effectively deny-all through Traefik, which is the
intended posture: admin work goes through docker exec to localhost:8008 and
never traverses Traefik. Allow-listing the sites' WAN addresses was considered
and rejected as a maintenance trap on dynamic addresses.
Also brings the stack under stacks/ with the Postgres password replaced by a
required .env variable. The tracked copy and the live file have therefore
DIVERGED and deploy-stack.sh must not be used until the live file reads from a
.env; the README says so.
