Bart Van Geyt e5ff798dd4 Refine to nested customer -> site model 
Adopt a two-level ownership model: a customer owns many sites, with
isolation/containers/DB/backup at the site level and grouping (one SFTP
login, recursive backup, billing, bulk delete) at the customer level.

- 03-naming-conventions: rewritten for customer/site ids and slug =
  <customer>-<site>; nested ZFS, per-customer SFTP chroot, deployments
  mirror the nesting.
- Propagated paths through docs 01, 04, 05, 06, 07 and deployments/README.
- ADR 0005 retitled/updated to per-site datasets nested under customer.
- architecture-plan.md: note pointing to doc 03 as authoritative on naming.

Clarifies subdomains: same-app subdomains are aliases on one site; a
separate-app subdomain is its own isolated site under the same customer.

heleosv2 — Multi-Tenant Web Hosting Platform

A rebuild of a small web-hosting business on modern, isolation-first infrastructure: container-per-customer + ZFS-dataset-per-customer, with repeatable CLI-driven provisioning and clean per-customer backup/restore.

Core philosophy — the customer is the boundary. Isolation (containers), backup (ZFS), and restore all line up on the same boundary, so a compromised or broken site is contained and restorable without touching neighbours.

Status

Phase 0 — writing the design documents before any platform code. See docs/00-roadmap.md.

Repository layout

This monorepo groups four logical areas whose contents have different lifecycles (see docs/07-repo-layout-gitops.md):

Path Purpose
docs/ Architecture, ADRs, runbooks, conventions.
platform-infra/ Ansible + base compose for host, Traefik, MariaDB, Forgejo, monitoring.
site-templates/ Dockerfiles for standard images + compose templates per site profile.
deployments/ Rendered per-customer configs (GitOps state). No plaintext secrets.
control-panel/ Provisioning CLI now; customer-facing panel later.

Key decisions

  • Single bare-metal host, Docker Compose per customer, no orchestrator.
  • Shared MariaDB (per-site DB + least-privilege user).
  • Decoupled backups: web files via ZFS snapshot/send; DB via automysqlbackup + rsync; logs via Loki.
  • Lightweight DevOps: Forgejo + built-in registry + Trivy.
  • CLI-first provisioning; web panel deferred until the platform is proven.

The full approved architecture plan lives at docs/architecture-plan.md.
