# 🌩️ Ingress & Secure Tunnels
This document outlines the zero-trust remote access architecture of the homelab. By utilizing outbound-only secure tunnels (**Cloudflared** and **Playit.gg**), external services are exposed without configuring port forwarding or opening inbound router ports.
---
## 🏗️ Tunnel Ingress Architectures
Traffic ingress is divided into two separate pathways: HTTP web traffic via Cloudflare, and TCP/UDP game server traffic via Playit.gg.
### 1. Cloudflare HTTPS Ingress (Web Portals)
Handles secure HTTPS traffic routing for the Nginx portfolio website and the Grafana analytics dashboard.

```
### 2. Playit.gg Game Ingress (Minecraft Server)
Routes game packets for external players into the local Fabric server instance using a secure UDP/TCP agent connection.

## 📄 Service Configurations
The outbound tunnel agents are launched as rootless container daemons:
### 1. Cloudflare Tunnel Agent (`06_cloudflared_setup.yml`)
* **Engine**: Spawns `docker.io/cloudflare/cloudflared:latest` using `--net=host`.
* **Credentials**: Authenticates with Cloudflare using a secure credential token(`cloudflare_token`) managed inside the encrypted Ansible Vault file(`vms/vault.yml`).
* **Systemd Integration(`cloudflared.service`)**: Configures startup sequencing to ensure the local web application services(`portal.service`) are active before starting the tunnel agent:
```ini
[Unit]
After=network-online.target portal.service
Wants=network-online.target portal.service
```
### 2. Playit.gg Tunnel Agent (`05_playit_setup.yml`)
* **Engine**: Spawns `ghcr.io/playit-cloud/playit-agent:1.0` using `--net=host` to bridge internal traffic.
* **Credentials**: Authenticates using a cryptographically generated static secret key(`playit_secret_key`) mapped to the agent container's environment variables(`SECRET_KEY`).
* **Systemd Integration(`playit.service`)**: Chains the agent startup process to load immediately after Minecraft service completes:
```ini
[Unit]
After=network-online.target minecraft.service
Wants=network-online.target minecraft.service
```
---
## 🚀 Execution & Administration
To deploy or refresh the ingress tunnels, run the following playbooks:
```bash
ansible-playbook site.yml --tags "playit,cloudflared" --ask-vault-pass
```
### Checking Tunnel Status
Inspect active connections on the respective VMs by viewing Systemd status outputs:
```bash
# Verify connection logs and exit statuses
systemctl status cloudflared.service
systemctl status playit.service
```
