nh3-svos: host for the NEW SVOS operating system (VM 111 on nh3-pve-2, NH3)
Built 2026-10-05 at svos-dev's request, relaying Prime ("stand up a dedicated VM for it on nh3-pve-2"). It runs the
new SVOS (repo corviduo/svoperatingsystem): a FastAPI/uvicorn kernel (SQLite WAL, synchronous FULL, one writer),
an interface connector, an optional voice adapter and a static phone/desktop UI.
It is a separate instance. The existing High Seat (svos.service on nh3-dev, :8770) and Miranda are NOT
migrated by this host.
Ownership split: infra-ops owns the VM, OS, access, backups and ingress. svos-dev owns the application: install, configuration, enrollment and acceptance.
| Address | 10.100.50.43, VLAN 50 (nh3-servers), static via cloud-init; nh3-svos.nh3.internal |
| Guest | VM 111 on nh3-pve-2, onboot 1, tag svos |
| Shape | 4 vCPU x86-64-v3, 8 GiB, 100 GB on vmstore (local NVMe LVM-thin, discard on). nh3-pve-2 had 47 GB RAM and 946 GB vmstore free at build |
| OS | Debian 13 genericcloud, Python 3.13 + venv, SQLite 3.46, systemd-timesyncd (synced), qemu-guest-agent |
| Identities | vh 1000 (operator keys + lkraven@nh3-dev, so svos-dev's session can ssh in; NOPASSWD sudo from cloud-init, plus /etc/sudoers.d/91-vh-verifypw so sudo -v agrees), infra-ops 850, svc-svos 801 (nologin; the only writer of the data root) |
| Data root | /var/lib/svos, svc-svos 0700, on the local root ext4. Never NFS, never shared |
| Releases | /opt/svos root:svc-svos 2775, with releases/ for svos-dev's layout. The git checkout is not a runtime dependency |
| Docker | none, by design |
| Backups | nh3-pve-2 vzdump job, nightly 21:30, all 1 → pbs-ana namespace nh3-pve-2 (mirrored to pbs-nh3 at 06:30), snapshot mode with guest-agent fs-freeze |
| App-consistent hook | svos-dev's /etc/qemu/fsfreeze-hook.d/50-svos stops the SVOS services on freeze and restarts the ones that were running on thaw. ⚠ Debian's qemu-ga does NOT run fsfreeze hooks unless configured (no -F in the unit, no qemu-ga.conf by default). Here /etc/qemu/qemu-ga.conf points it at /usr/local/sbin/fsfreeze-dispatch (configs/qemu-ga/fsfreeze-dispatch), which unlike the stock /etc/qemu/fsfreeze-hook propagates failure: if a freeze hook fails, it thaws that hook and the completed ones and exits 1, so qemu-ga refuses the freeze. Tested 2026-10-05 via qm guest cmd 111 fsfreeze-*, both success and failure paths. The live-service backup drill is still pending |
| Monitoring | Beszel native agent 0.18.7 (playbooks/beszel-native.yaml, configs/beszel-agent/hosts/nh3-svos.env), hub system t6y646ifa3x7xxv, alerts CPU>95%/15m, Disk>85%/5m, Memory>90%/10m, offline/2m. Up 2026-10-05 |

Ingress / auth: NOT built yet, proposal pending (Prime + svos-dev)
App side, per svos-dev 2026-10-05: kernel on 127.0.0.1:8400 --trust-loopback (its Unix-socket mode needs a 0700
kernel-owned dir and creates a 0666 socket, so no shared-group socket in this build), interface connector on
127.0.0.1:8403. Static UI at /opt/svos/current/static. /api/* → kernel with the prefix stripped (/api/health is
the kernel's); /health, /verbs/ping|pins|pin|unpin, /openapi.json → connector unchanged. ⚠ With
--trust-loopback, every local process is inside the identity trust boundary, so run no untrusted workloads here.
Agreed design (option A): Caddy on the tailnet address only, forward_auth to a loopback WhoIs responder fed the real
socket peer ({http.request.remote.host}:{port}), fail closed, allow-list of logins, client identity/forwarding headers
stripped, Origin passed through untouched.
App listeners stay private (loopback or a Unix socket). The front door has to give the browser HTTPS: the UI and the
voice adapter need a secure context for the microphone. It also has to give the kernel's adapter a verified identity
in Tailscale-User-Login, with any browser-supplied copy stripped. See the svos-dev thread of 2026-10-05.
