Hostinger (production) stacks

Docker Swarm stack files for the t4t hosted-gateway, deployed to a single Hostinger VPS at ssh root@195.35.25.26 and reachable at t4t-gateway.com.

Layout mirrors cipherdolls/devops/hostinger/.

Stacks

Stack	File	What it runs
system	system-stack.yaml	Traefik (TLS + ingress), Grafana, Loki, Prometheus, node-exporter, cadvisor. Owns the public + internal overlay networks.
prod	prod-stack.yaml	hosted-gateway api + worker + one-shot prisma migrate, plus postgres / redis / bee / postgres-exporter / stamp-monitor.
dev	dev-stack.yaml	Staging on dev.t4t-gateway.com — the :develop image tag against its own postgres / redis / bee volumes.

Supporting configs:

• loki.yaml — Loki single-binary filesystem config
• prometheus.yml — scrape targets (traefik, grafana, loki, node-exporter, postgres-exporter, cadvisor, hosted-gateway api)
• .env.example — copy to .env on the host, fill in OPERATOR_PRIVATE_KEY / JWT_SECRET_KEY / etc.

One-time host setup

ssh root@195.35.25.26

# Docker + swarm
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sh
docker swarm init --advertise-addr 195.35.25.26

# Loki driver (so container logs ship to Loki via the `loki` logging driver)
docker plugin install grafana/loki-docker-driver:2.9.7 \
    --alias loki --grant-all-permissions

# Stack files come from this repo, cloned on the host. Deploys run from the
# clone, so `git pull` is the deploy step — do not hand-edit files here.
git clone git@github.com:token-for-token/devops.git /root/devops
cd /root/devops/hostinger
cp .env.example .env && chmod 600 .env
$EDITOR .env  # fill in OPERATOR_PRIVATE_KEY, JWT_SECRET_KEY, ...

Deploy

The system stack creates the shared overlay networks, so deploy it first.

cd /root/devops/hostinger

# 1. Networks + ingress + monitoring
docker stack deploy -c system-stack.yaml system

# 2. App + datastores
docker stack deploy -c prod-stack.yaml prod

# (optional) staging on dev.t4t-gateway.com
docker stack deploy -c dev-stack.yaml dev

Re-deploying after a new image tag:

docker service update --image ghcr.io/token-for-token/hosted-gateway:main \
    --force prod_api
docker service update --image ghcr.io/token-for-token/hosted-gateway:main \
    --force prod_worker

Secrets

OPERATOR_PRIVATE_KEY is the on-chain identity for every tenant. For now it lives in /root/devops/hostinger/.env (chmod 600). Future work: migrate to a proper Docker secret backed by the host's secret manager — never an env var in the stack file.

Postage batches (stamp-monitor)

The gateway's uploads are paid for by a postage batch that expires. When it lapsed, the gateway returned 500 on every route — see the comment above the stamp-monitor service for the full chain. stamp-monitor now owns renewal: it polls prod_bee every 5 min, tops a batch up when it drops under 14 days, and refuses any single action over 8 xBZZ.

It runs beside Bee rather than reading the chain because bucket fullness is not on-chain — postage stamps are off-chain signatures, so only a node that saw them knows how full a batch is. A batch can be fully funded and still refuse writes.

Published at bee.t4t-gateway.com. The gateway's own /bee page shows a summary; this is the full view — batch fullness and the bucket map, wallet and chequebook runway, and the ledger of every top-up it has made or refused.

It is publishable because the app fails closed: every /api/admin route requires an x-admin-token and returns 503 if ADMIN_TOKEN is unset, so a misconfigured deploy is a visible outage rather than an open door onto endpoints that spend xBZZ. The Bee node stays unpublished; reaching it through the monitor's passthrough still requires that token.

From the shell, note internal is not attachable, so docker run --network internal ... is refused — query through a container already on it:

docker service logs --tail 50 prod_stamp-monitor

M=$(docker ps --filter name=prod_stamp-monitor -q | head -1)
docker exec $M bun -e 'console.log(await (await fetch("http://bee:1633/stamps")).text())'

The API authenticates with an x-admin-token header, not Authorization: Bearer. A wrong header is a 401; a missing ADMIN_TOKEN in the service is a 503 (admin API disabled) — it fails closed, because these routes buy postage.

Deploy caveat: docker stack deploy substitutes ${STAMP_MONITOR_ADMIN_TOKEN} from the shell, not from .env. Source it first or the monitor deploys with an empty token and the dashboard 503s:

cd /root/devops/hostinger && set -a && . ./.env && set +a
docker stack deploy -c prod-stack.yaml --resolve-image=never prod

WEBHOOK_URL is unset, so alerts (wallet_low, batch_full, topup_blocked) only reach the logs. Set it to make them reach a person.

Backups

Postgres volume:

docker run --rm \
  -v prod_postgres-data:/from_volume \
  -v $(pwd):/workdir \
  alpine \
  sh -c "cd /from_volume && tar cvf /workdir/prod_postgres-data.tar ."

scp root@195.35.25.26:/root/devops/hostinger/prod_postgres-data.tar ~/Downloads

Bee data volume (postage batch / swarm keys — DO NOT lose this):

docker run --rm \
  -v prod_bee-data:/from_volume \
  -v $(pwd):/workdir \
  alpine \
  sh -c "cd /from_volume && tar cvf /workdir/prod_bee-data.tar ."

Troubleshooting

docker stack services system           # health of ingress + monitoring
docker stack services prod             # health of gateway + data
docker service logs -f prod_api
docker service logs -f prod_worker

# Replay a failed Prisma migration:
docker exec -it $(docker ps -q -f name=prod_prisma) sh
bunx prisma migrate resolve --rolled-back <migration_name>
