Replace all hardcoded lazyworkhorse.net references in compose files
with ${DOMAIN} variable substitution. Create .env.production and
.env.staging environment files. Update Makefile with ENV selection
(--env-file support) and staging/production targets.
Changes:
- All 13 compose YAML files: lazyworkhorse.net -> ${DOMAIN}
- New .env.production (DOMAIN=lazyworkhorse.net)
- New .env.staging (DOMAIN=staging.lazyworkhorse.net)
- Makefile: ENV var, --env-file flag, staging/production targets
- Gitea redirect regex updated for variable substitution
- CI workflow checkout URLs left hardcoded (infrastructure refs)
- Dockerfile SSH host refs left hardcoded (infrastructure refs)
Deploy: make ENV=staging all_up or make staging
make ENV=production all_up or make production
update-alternatives --set fails because the base image only registers
iptables-legacy as an alternative. The iptables-nft binary (/usr/sbin/iptables-nft)
exists but isn't in the alternatives database. Direct ln -sf bypasses this.
In Alpine 3.18+, the 'iptables' package IS the nftables variant.
iptables-nft is not a separate package. The binary is already in
the base image — only need to flip update-alternatives.
- Switch FROM weejewel/wg-easy:latest (4yr old, Alpine 3.11) to
ghcr.io/wg-easy/wg-easy:latest (actively maintained, Alpine krypton)
- Use update-alternatives instead of raw ln -sf to flip iptables
from legacy to nftables backend
- Fix compose build context: ./vpn -> . (Dockerfile was at same level)
The weejewel/wg-easy image lacked iptables-nft package in Alpine 3.11.
The new official image has it available, we just flip the alternatives.
The old ln -sf approach was fragile across Alpine versions.
wg-easy's Alpine wg-quick uses legacy iptables which requires the
iptable_nat kernel module. On NixOS kernels compiled without legacy
netfilter modules, the container crashes in a restart loop:
iptables v1.8.3 (legacy): can't initialize iptables table 'nat'
Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Fix: build a custom image that installs Alpine's iptables-nft package
and symlinks iptables -> iptables-nft (nftables backend).
