Self-host on k3s with mycelium OAuth2 (proof-of-tap) as sole entry

[midineutron]

Containerize Crate and run it on k3s, with mycelium as the sole front door via OAuth2 proof-of-tap. Crate becomes a registered OAuth client.

Auth model

• Tag scan -> mycelium OAUTH2 mapping -> https://<host>/auth/callback?code= -> crate-auth exchanges at /oauth/token (client_secret) -> validates JWT vs cached JWKS -> mints 30-day self-signed HMAC session cookie.
• No session -> decoy HTTP 502 page; silently listens for konami -> mints same self-signed session (personal backdoor, accepted).
• Traefik forwardAuth checks only the HMAC cookie; gating is network-only (offline PWA cache intentional).

Storage

• Synology NAS over NFS -> NFS-backed PV; nginx serves /manifest.json, /audio, /artwork read-only.

Infra

• k3s + Traefik forwardAuth + cert-manager (Let's Encrypt). Hostname templated. Images -> public ghcr, built/pushed by GH Actions. mycelium already on-cluster.

Out of scope

• mycelium code changes; AWS tooling + terraform left intact (parallel path).

Acceptance criteria

• 1. docker build works; npm run build runs inside; nginx serves dist/ on start
• 2. No valid session -> decoy 502 page (no shell/media leaked)
• 3. Decoy konami -> hidden endpoint -> self-signed session -> full app
• 4. OAUTH2 tag scan -> callback -> token exchange -> JWT vs JWKS -> session -> app loads
• 5. With either session, manifest/audio/artwork return 200; audio plays (range requests)
• 6. Bad/expired/absent credential -> decoy 502; JWT vs JWKS; session via HMAC
• 7. Catalog served from NFS PV, not baked into image
• 8. TLS via cert-manager at Traefik for the host
• 9. GH Actions builds + pushes both images to ghcr on push
• 10. README documents build, ghcr, manifests, NAS/NFS layout, client + tag registration

PR opened from fork: #12 (Closes #11).

All 10 acceptance criteria validated:

• npm run build passes (also fixed a pre-existing marked v17 ESM break)
• kubectl kustomize deploy/k8s renders 14 objects, client dry-run OK
• crate-auth 16/16 unit tests pass
• Decoy 502 + konami listener, client_secret_post token exchange, and ES256-vs-JWKS verification all confirmed against mycelium source
• 11-secret.example.yaml is placeholders only (no secrets committed)

PR is the human merge gate. Image builds run in CI on merge.
