heleosv2 multi-tenant hosting platform (infra + CLI)
Python control-panel package driving the full provisioning flow from a site's site.yaml (docs/05): - provision: ZFS web dataset + ownership, per-site DB + least-priv user, generated .env encrypted to secrets.enc.yaml (SOPS/age), render the profile templates + persist site.yaml, per-customer chrooted SFTP account, docker compose up. - deprovision (gated: data destroyed only with --purge, after a final backup), backup (ZFS snapshot + mariadb-dump), restore (rollback + import), render (preview), list. Design: one command/file runner with a real --dry-run (prints every action, redacts secrets); idempotent steps; Config + Site validation mirroring docs/03; passwords never logged. Modules: cli, config, naming, context, render, runner, zfs, database, secrets, sftp, compose, provision, backup. Plus pyproject (heleosctl entry point), config.example.yaml, an example site, and a README. Tests: 22 pure-logic unit tests (naming, config validation, template render across all profiles + db on/off) — all passing. Full provision and deprovision verified end-to-end in --dry-run.

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.
