docs: add Podman deployment guide - #107
Conversation
Podman is not mentioned anywhere in the repo despite being a common rootless container runtime for self-hosted node/validator operators. Adds docs/versions/v1.1.1/07_podman.md covering the parts that differ from Quick Start (Docker): why --network=host is required (same root cause as the Kubernetes hostNetwork requirement - no announce-address override), the :Z SELinux volume label, and a production systemd Quadlet unit using a Podman secret for the API key. Targets v1.1.1 per getoptimum#99's 'Add to v1.1.1 (flows to latest)' - not v1.2.0, which I mistakenly used in an earlier draft. Scope note: this covers the production single-host Podman deployment gap. It does NOT attempt the examples/compose/<client>/ self-configuring reference stack from getoptimum#99's follow-up comment (a tiny entrypoint that polls self_info and dynamically injects peer IDs to avoid templating them on both sides up front) - that's a separate, larger deliverable serving a different scenario (local dev/test with CL+gateway on the same compose network) than this page (production gateway needing public reachability on 33213). Ref getoptimum#99.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe documentation adds rootless Podman deployment guidance. It covers host networking, prerequisites, SELinux volume labels, persistent gateway data, verification commands, CL client connection, systemd Quadlet setup, troubleshooting, and support commands. The requirements page now lists Docker or rootless Podman 4.4+ as supported container runtimes. The quick start guide links to the Podman guide and notes the host-network requirement. Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The deployment guide should clarify or safely implement migration to Quadlet and harden the API-key prompt before merge; otherwise users may encounter startup conflicts, lose their established gateway identity, or be left with terminal echo disabled. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 6 | ❌ 3❌ Failed checks (3 warnings)

In `@docs/versions/v1.1.1/07_podman.md`:
- Line 80: Update the ownership repair command in the Podman instructions to
include the config directory alongside data/libp2p and data/mump2p, keeping the
command copy-pastable and consistent with the documented /app/config path.
- Line 154: Update the Podman secret creation command near the example using
“ogw_live_...” so the API key is read from hidden input or a protected file and
piped to podman secret create, without embedding the real key in the shell
command or history.
- Line 11: In the Markdown content of 07_podman.md, remove the empty blockquote
marker on line 11 and use a normal blank line between the two blockquote
sections to satisfy MD028.
- Around line 167-168: Update the Quadlet instructions to add systemctl --user
restart optimum-gateway.service immediately after daemon-reload, ensuring an
already-running optimum-gateway.service recreates its container.
- Line 59: Update the Podman bind mounts for /app/config in both documented
commands to use the :Z,ro mount options, preserving SELinux labeling while
making the host configuration read-only.
- Line 162: Update the documented systemctl command for optimum-gateway.service
to use enable --now, preserving immediate startup while enabling the user unit
to start automatically after reboot.
- Around line 135-137: Align the Quadlet Volume paths with the directories
created and populated by the setup instructions. Use a single consistent
absolute root for the config, libp2p, and mump2p mounts, or ensure setup creates
and populates %h/optimum-gateway before service startup so app_conf.yml and
persistent data are found.
- Around line 34-36: Update the telemetry listener setup in main and
routes.NewAppRouter so port 48123 binds to 127.0.0.1 rather than the wildcard
address, keeping health, metrics, and self-info endpoints local when using host
networking.
- Line 138: Update the HealthCmd container health check to use an executable
available in the published linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 images, or ensure curl is
installed in those images before the check runs; preserve the existing
/api/v1/self_info endpoint validation and failure behavior.

github.com/gofiber/fiber/v3 v3.4.0 App.Listen ":port" bind all interfaces documentation
💡 Result:
To bind a Fiber v3 application to all network interfaces (often referred to as 0.0.0.0 or wildcard binding), you should pass "0.0.0.0:" followed by your port number to the App.Listen method [1][2][3]. For example, to listen on all interfaces on port 3000: app.Listen("0.0.0.0:3000") In Fiber, passing only a colon and a port (e.g., ":3000") typically binds to all available interfaces by default because it instructs the underlying Go net.Listen call to bind to all interfaces [1][3][4]. However, explicitly using "0.0.0.0:3000" is the standard and unambiguous way to ensure the application listens on all IPv4 interfaces [1][5]. Important notes: 1. Interface Behavior: Binding to "0.0.0.0" makes your application accessible from other machines on the network, whereas binding to "127.0.0.1" (or "localhost") restricts access to the local machine only [5]. 2. Startup Messages: Be aware that in some older versions or configurations, Fiber's terminal startup banner may display "127.0.0.1" even when the application is correctly bound to "0.0.0.0" [5]. This is a display behavior intended to provide a clickable link for local development and does not reflect the actual network binding, which can be verified using system tools like netstat or lsof [5]. 3. ListenConfig: If you require advanced configuration (such as enabling preforking or specific network settings), you can pass a fiber.ListenConfig as the second argument [6][1][3]. app.Listen("0.0.0.0:3000", fiber.ListenConfig{ EnablePrefork: true, })

Keep telemetry port 48123 local.
cmd/main.go passes :48123 to routes.NewAppRouter, which passes it to Fiber Listen; this wildcard bind can expose /health, /metrics, and /api/v1/self_info on every host interface under --network=host. Bind telemetry to 127.0.0.1 or document and enforce a firewall rule before release.

7 findings, all confirmed legitimate:
- config bind mount: add ,ro (config is never written by the gateway)
- ownership-repair command was missing 'config' despite the surrounding
text saying it fixes /app/config permission errors
- Quadlet section now sets up ~/optimum-gateway/{config,data/...}
explicitly before showing the unit file - the earlier podman run
example uses paths relative to the current directory, which don't
match the %h/optimum-gateway root the Quadlet Volume= lines assume
- removed HealthCmd=curl ... - verified against the actual published
getoptimum/gateway:v1.1.1 image manifests (both linux/amd64 and
linux/arm64): no curl binary in either. Replaced with host-side
health check guidance instead of an in-container command that would
silently never succeed
- podman secret create example no longer puts the literal API key on
the command line (shell history); reads it via 'read -s' instead
- systemctl --user start -> enable --now, matching the lingering +
WantedBy=default.target setup earlier in the same section
- daemon-reload does not restart an already-running unit; added the
restart step after it

- MD028: merged the two intro blockquotes into one (internal blank '>' paragraph break) instead of two blockquotes separated by an external blank line - security note: --network=host also exposes the telemetry HTTP server (health/metrics/self_info on 48123) beyond localhost - verified in cmd/main.go, it binds to a bare ':48123' (wildcard, all interfaces), not 127.0.0.1. Out of scope to change in a docs PR, so documented the risk and a host-firewall mitigation instead - mkdir brace expansion and 'read -rsp' were bash-specific inside a ```sh (POSIX) fenced block; replaced with three plain mkdir -p calls and a POSIX read + stty -echo/echo prompt - the API-key read now aborts before podman secret create if the input is empty, instead of silently creating an empty secret (flagged as the PR's top merge-risk item - an empty secret would leave gateway token verification effectively disabled)

that restores it on exit and signals, and clear the trap after normal

Podman Quadlet ContainerName existing container name conflict generated systemd service documentation
💡 Result:
When using Podman Quadlet, naming conflicts for containers and systemd services are primarily managed through default naming conventions and the configuration options available in the.container file [1][2][3]. Default Naming and Conflict Avoidance By default, Quadlet generates a systemd service unit with the same name as the.container file [1][3]. To avoid conflicts with user-managed containers, the underlying Podman container created by the service is automatically named with a systemd- prefix (e.g., a file named myapp.container creates a systemd service named myapp.service and a Podman container named systemd-myapp) [1][2][4]. Configuration Options for Overriding If you need to specify a custom name or if you encounter naming collisions, you can use the following options within the [Container] section of your Quadlet file: 1. ContainerName=: This option allows you to manually specify the name of the Podman container [1][5]. If omitted, the default systemd-%N naming scheme is used [1][3]. 2. ServiceName=: This option allows you to override the default systemd service name (which is based on the filename of the.container file) [5][6][7]. Important Considerations and Behaviors Systemd and Quadlet operate within a flat namespace for unit files [8]. If you define a Quadlet file with the same name as an existing systemd service (whether it is a vendor-provided service or another custom unit), the generated Quadlet service will replace or conflict with the existing one [1][2][8]. Recent updates have improved handling for duplicate Quadlet definitions; for instance, the podman quadlet install command now includes checks to detect duplicate quadlet files in different subdirectories and can prevent accidental overwrites or duplicates [9]. However, general best practice is to ensure that your Quadlet file names are unique and descriptive to avoid unintentional overrides of systemd units [8]. If you intend to use a name already in use by another service, you must explicitly manage those conflicts, as Quadlet does not perform automated namespace isolation for service names [8].

Preserve existing data when converting to Quadlet.
If users convert an existing bare podman run deployment, these commands create new home-rooted data directories but copy only the configuration. The explicit ContainerName=optimum-gateway can conflict with the existing container, or the new mounts can create a new peer ID and invalidate the saved CL multiaddr.
Stop the existing container and migrate both data directories before enabling Quadlet. If this section supports only fresh deployments, state that explicitly.

POSIX sh read utility -s option stty echo standard
💡 Result:
The POSIX standard read utility does not provide an option to disable input echoing [1][2][3]. The read utility, as defined by POSIX, only supports the -r option (which prevents backslashes from being treated as escape characters) [1][3]. To suppress character echoing in a portable shell script (where read -s is not available), you must manually modify the terminal's settings using the stty utility [4][5]. The standard idiom for this is to use stty -echo before the read command and stty echo immediately afterward to restore normal terminal behavior [6][5]: stty -echo read variable_name stty echo It is strongly recommended to use a trap to ensure that terminal echoing is re-enabled if the script is interrupted (e.g., by a SIGINT) while echoing is disabled [6][7]: trap 'stty echo' 0 1 2 3 15 stty -echo read variable_name stty echo Note that stty modifies the terminal settings of standard input [4]. If standard input is redirected from a file or another process rather than being a terminal device, stty will fail or have no effect [4].

Add a focused validation for the changed secret flow.
This block changes security-sensitive input handling. Add a focused check that runs it under POSIX sh with empty and non-empty input, stubs podman secret create, and verifies that empty input never invokes it while valid input is passed through.
As per coding guidelines: “Require focused tests for non-trivial behavior changes.”

POSIX shell signal trap interrupted read command execution stty terminal echo restoration
💡 Result:
When a POSIX shell command like read is interrupted by a signal, it may leave the terminal in an inconsistent state, particularly if the command has modified terminal attributes (such as disabling echo with read -s) [1][2]. Terminal Restoration If your shell script interrupts a command that has modified terminal settings, you can restore them using the following methods: 1. stty echo: This command specifically re-enables terminal echoing [2]. 2. stty sane: This command resets the terminal to a sensible default configuration, which is generally more robust for clearing broken states [3][2]. 3. Saving and restoring state: A more reliable approach is to capture the terminal's state before modification using stty -g and restoring it later [4][5]. Recommended Pattern To ensure the terminal is restored regardless of how the script exits (e.g., via signal or normal completion), use a trap handler [6][5]. Example: # Capture the original state old_tty_settings=$(stty -g) # Define the cleanup function cleanup { stty "$old_tty_settings" exit } # Register the trap trap cleanup INT TERM EXIT # Perform the action stty -echo read -s password stty "$old_tty_settings" # Restore after success Signal Handling Nuance Be aware that behavior varies across shells and versions: - Terminal restoration by built-ins: Modern versions of shells like Bash (4.4+) take care to restore terminal settings if the shell exits due to a signal, even if that exit occurs within a trap handler [7][8]. - Trap execution: According to POSIX, if a signal for which a trap has been set is received while the shell is waiting for a foreground utility (like read), the trap is typically executed only after the utility completes [9]. If the utility is interrupted and terminates, the trap handler then runs [1]. - Race conditions: If a manual stty command in a trap executes before the shell's own cleanup logic, the manual command might be effectively reverted by the shell if it attempts to restore the state that existed when read was called [4]. This is why using stty -g to capture and restore the state is the most reliable method [4][5].

Restore terminal settings when read -r is interrupted.
read -r can be interrupted before execution reaches stty echo, leaving the terminal with echo disabled. Save the original stty -g state and restore it with a cleanup trap on exit and on signals. Clear the trap after normal restoration.

Ref #99.
Podman isn't mentioned anywhere in the repo. Adds
docs/versions/v1.1.1/07_podman.mdcovering the production single-host deployment gap:--network=hostis required (same root cause as the KuberneteshostNetworkrequirement - no announce-address override; see Add announce-address override (Prysm --p2p-host-ip equivalent) #103 for a fix to that):ZSELinux volume label and the genericpermission deniedit fixes on Fedora/RHEL/CentOSTargets v1.1.1 per this issue's "Add to v1.1.1 (flows to latest)".
Scope note: this is the production single-host Podman piece. It does not attempt the
examples/compose/<client>/self-configuring reference stack from the follow-up comment (entrypoint that pollsself_infoand dynamically injects peer IDs) - that serves a different scenario (local dev/test, CL+gateway on the same compose network) and felt like a separate, larger deliverable. Happy to take that on separately if useful.Happy to adjust scope/structure if this doesn't match what you had in mind.
