+ - **Servers are ssh targets.** Any `~/.ssh/config` alias works. If `ssh het` works, `lf deploy -s het` works.
12
+ - **No agent on the server.** Everything is plain Docker Compose under `/opt/landfall`, so you can read and fix it by hand.
13
+ - **Every change is journaled** on the server and can be undone with `lf undo`.
14
+ - **Three ways in:** plain commands for scripts, CI and agents; a web dashboard (`lf`); a terminal dashboard (`lf tui`).
15
+
16
+ `lf` is short for `landfall`. Both commands are installed.

37
+ ## Install
38
+
39
+ You need Node.js 22+ plus `ssh`, `ssh-copy-id` and `tar` on your machine. The server must run Ubuntu or Debian
40
+ and accept a login as root or as a user with passwordless sudo. landfall installs Docker itself.
41
+
42
+ ```sh
43
+ npm i -g landfall # or: pnpm add -g landfall
44
+ lf --help # all commands
45
+ lf <command> --help # every option of one command
46
+ ```
47
+
48
+ ## Concepts
49
+
50
+ | term | meaning |
51
+ |---|---|
52
+ | **server** | An ssh target: a `~/.ssh/config` alias, or one landfall registered with `lf server add`/`lf setup`. Pass it as `-s <name>`. The first server you add becomes the default. |
53
+ | **site** | One deployed thing on a server: a static folder, a Dockerfile app or a prebuilt image. It runs as container `landfall-<name>` and Traefik routes its domains to it. |
54
+ | **project file** | `./.landfall.json`, written by the first `lf deploy`: `{ "name", "server", "domains" }`. Commands that take `[name]` default to this site, and `-s` defaults to its server. |
55
+ | **main domain** | Optional per-server domain (`lf server domain het example.com`). Sites then default to `<site>.example.com`, and a bare name like `shop` means `shop.example.com`. Without one, sites get `<site>.<ip-with-dashes>.sslip.io` (e.g. `blog.203-0-113-7.sslip.io`), which resolves without any DNS setup. |
56
+ | **release** | Every deploy creates one, with an id like `20260122143005`. The last 5 are kept. `lf rollback` switches between them. |
57
+ | **run** | One landfall invocation that changed something on a server. Runs are listed by `lf history` and reverted by `lf undo`. |
58
+
59
+ How defaults resolve, for every command:
60
+
61
+ - **site** `[name]`: the argument, else `name` from `./.landfall.json`.
62
+ - **server** `-s`: the flag, else `server` from `./.landfall.json`, else the default server (`lf server use`).
63
+
64
+ ## Using landfall from scripts and agents
65
+
66
+ Every dashboard action is a plain command, and both dashboards print the command they run (`$ lf logs blog -s het -f`).
67
+
68
+ - **No prompts:** `-y` accepts confirmations and takes defaults. Without a terminal, prompts are never shown. A
69
+ command that would ask then **fails** and tells you to pass `-y`. It never silently goes ahead.
70
+ - **Passwords:** pass them with `--password-stdin` or `$LANDFALL_PASSWORD` (`setup`, `server add`). For `lf auth`, use `-p`.
71
+ - **JSON output:** `--json` works on `ls`, `info`, `server config`, `server domain`, `domains`, `firewall`,
72
+ `updates` and `history`.
73
+ - **Dry runs:** `lf setup <name> --check` changes nothing. `lf updates` only reports.
74
+ - **Exit codes:** `0` means success, `1` means error (the message starts with `error:` on stderr), and `2` means unknown command.
75
+ - **Safety rails:** `-y` never overrides a safety refusal, for example a firewall change that would lock out ssh, or
76
+ setup steps that would break running services. Only `--force` does.
77
+
78
+ A typical unattended flow:
79
+
80
+ ```sh
81
+ printf '%s' "$ROOT_PW" | lf setup box --host 203.0.113.7 --password-stdin -y
82
+ lf server domain box example.com -y
83
+ lf deploy ./dist -n blog -s box -y # → https://blog.example.com
84
+ lf ls -s box --json
85
+ lf history -s box --json
86
+ lf undo -s box -y # revert the last run
87
+ ```
88
+
89
+ ## Command reference
90
+
91
+ `[name]` is a site or server and is optional (see [Concepts](#concepts)). Most site and server commands take `-s <server>`. Every command takes `-y` and `--help`.
92
+
93
+ **Servers**
94
+
95
+ | command | what it does |
96
+ |---|---|
97
+ | `lf setup <name> [--host ip]` | Turns a box into a deploy target: ssh key, Docker, ufw, fail2ban, deploy user, ssh hardening and Traefik. Idempotent. |
98
+ | `lf setup <name> --check` | Reports what is set up and what setup would change. Changes nothing. |
99
+ | `lf setup <name> --key-only` | Only installs landfall's ssh key. |
100
+ | `lf server add <name> [--host ip] [-u user] [-p port] [-i key] [--password-stdin] [--domain d] [--default]` | Registers a server without installing anything on it. Writes `Host <name>` to `~/.ssh/config`. |
101
+ | `lf server list [--all]` | Lists registered servers. `--all` adds every ssh alias. Alias: `servers`. |
102
+ | `lf server info [name] [--json]` | Shows OS and release support, kernel, uptime, CPU, RAM, disk, addresses and containers. Alias: `info`. |
103
+ | `lf server config [name] [--json]` | Shows everything landfall and ssh use for a server. Does not connect. |
104
+ | `lf server domain [name] [domain...] [--add d] [--primary d] [--rm d] [--clear] [--json]` | Manages main domains (the first is primary) and checks their DNS. |
105
+ | `lf server use <name>` | Sets the default server. |
106
+ | `lf server rm <name>` | Forgets a server locally. The server is untouched. |
107
+ | `lf ssh [name] [-- cmd]` | Opens a shell or runs a one-off command. |
108
+ | `lf keygen <name>` | Creates `~/.ssh/landfall_<name>` and prints the public key. |
109
+
110
+ **Sites**
111
+
112
+ | command | what it does |
113
+ |---|---|
114
+ | `lf deploy [dir] [-d domain...] [-n name] [-b cmd] [--spa] [--image img] [--port n] [-e K=V] [--env-file f] [--static] [--keep n]` | Deploys a static folder, a Dockerfile app or an image. |
115
+ | `lf ls [--json]` | Lists sites on the server with their status. Alias: `sites list`. |
116
+ | `lf sites info [name]` | Shows domains, container and release history. |
117
+ | `lf domains [name] [--add d] [--rm d] [--set d] [--json]` | Lists domains with their DNS and HTTPS state, or changes them. |
118
+ | `lf auth [name] -u user [-p pw]` / `--rm-user u` / `--off` | Puts basic-auth login in front of a site. |
119
+ | `lf open [name]` | Opens the site in the browser. |
120
+ | `lf logs [name] [-f] [-n lines]` | Shows container logs. |
121
+ | `lf env [name] [K=V...] [-u K]` | Shows or changes env vars. Recreates the container. |
122
+ | `lf rollback [name] [--to id]` | Switches to the previous release, or to the given one. |
123
+ | `lf restart` / `stop` / `start [name]` | Restarts, stops or starts the site. |
124
+ | `lf sites rm <name>` | Deletes the site and its files. |
125
+
126
+ **Traefik, firewall, updates, history**
127
+
128
+ | command | what it does |
129
+ |---|---|
130
+ | `lf traefik setup [--email e] [--dashboard host\|traefik\|off] [--staging] [--image img] [--host-network]` | Installs or reconfigures landfall's Traefik. |
131
+ | `lf traefik use [container] [--network n --entrypoint e --resolver r]` | Routes sites through a Traefik you already run. |
132
+ | `lf traefik status` / `logs [-f]` / `restart` | Inspects or restarts Traefik. `lf traefik` alone means `status`. |
133
+ | `lf firewall [--json]` | Lists ufw rules and, for each listening port, whether it is reachable. |
134
+ | `lf firewall allow` / `deny <port[/proto]> [--from ip] [--comment c]` | Adds a rule. A deny goes first, so it wins. |
135
+ | `lf firewall update <n> [--port p] [--from ip] [--action allow\|deny\|limit]` | Changes a rule. |
136
+ | `lf firewall rm <n>` / `enable` / `disable` | Removes a rule, or turns ufw on or off. |
137
+ | `lf updates [--no-refresh] [--all] [--json]` | Shows pending OS packages, newer images, and Docker/compose versions. Changes nothing. |

+ | `lf update [site...] [--packages] [--security] [--reboot] [--images] [--compose]` | Applies updates. Image and compose updates can be undone. |
139
+ | `lf history [-n 20] [--json]` | Lists what landfall changed on the server, run by run. Alias: `log`. |
140

141
+
142
+ **Dashboards**
143
+
144
+ | command | what it does |
145
+ |---|---|
146
+ | `lf` / `lf ui [--port 4777] [--no-open]` | Starts the web dashboard on 127.0.0.1 and prints a login link. |
147
+ | `lf tui` | Starts the terminal dashboard. |
148
+
149
+ ## Prepare a server
150
+
151
+ ### A fresh server (only a root password)
152
+
153
+ ```sh
154
+ lf setup het --host 203.0.113.7
155
+ ```
156
+
157
+ 1. Creates `~/.ssh/landfall_het` and installs it with `ssh-copy-id`. You type the root password once.
158
+ 2. Installs Docker, ufw (allowing ssh, 80 and 443), fail2ban and unattended-upgrades.
159
+ 3. Creates the user `deploy` in the docker group and disables ssh password login. Root keeps key-only access.
160
+ 4. Writes `Host het` to `~/.ssh/config`, creating the file if needed. `ssh het` now logs in as `deploy`.
161
+ 5. Starts Traefik, which gets Let's Encrypt certificates for every site.
162
+
163
+ Setup shows what it is about to change and asks once (`-y` skips the question). Key login is checked **before**
164
+ password login is turned off, so a failed key setup can't lock you out.
165
+
166
+ ### A server you already reach with `ssh het`
167
+
168
+ ```sh
169
+ lf setup het --check # what is there, what would change
170
+ lf setup het
171
+ ```
172
+
173
+ landfall reads host, user, port and key from your ssh config (`ssh -G`) and keeps a key that works. It inspects
174
+ first and prints what is done (`✓`), what it will do (`→`) and what it refuses to touch (`!`):
175
+
176
+ | step | skipped when |
177
+ |---|---|
178
+ | firewall | ufw is off and enabling it would block a public port that something listens on (Postgres on 5432, WireGuard on 51820/udp, …). Docker-published ports stay reachable because Docker's NAT bypasses ufw. If Docker uses nftables or has no IPv6 NAT, they would be blocked, so setup skips the firewall. |
179
+ | ssh hardening | other users still log in with a password |
180
+ | traefik | 80/443 are held by something that is not Traefik, or by a `traefik` that landfall didn't create. If it is your own Traefik, setup offers `lf traefik use` instead. |
181
+
182
+ Docker that is installed but stopped gets started. A missing compose, or the old v1 `docker-compose`, is replaced
183
+ with the newest release. An existing Docker is never reinstalled. In a terminal, setup asks about each conflict
184
+ (the default is no). `-y` never accepts a conflict. Only `--force` does. Existing sites are never touched.
185
+
186
+ ### Setup flags
187
+
188
+ | flag | effect |
189
+ |---|---|
190
+ | `-u admin` / `-p 2222` | log in as `admin` (needs passwordless sudo) / ssh port |
191
+ | `-i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519` | use an existing key instead of generating one |
192
+ | `--password-stdin` | read the login password from stdin (or set `$LANDFALL_PASSWORD`) |
193
+ | `--deploy-user ""` | deploy as the login user instead of creating `deploy` |
194
+ | `--domain example.com` | primary main domain |
195
+ | `--staging` / `--no-staging` | use Let's Encrypt's staging CA while testing (remembered) |
196
+ | `--dashboard traefik.example.com` | Traefik dashboard behind basic auth (`traefik` alone means `traefik.<main domain>`) |
197
+ | `--image traefik:v3.5` | Traefik image (remembered, default `traefik:v3`) |
198
+ | `--host-network` | run Traefik on the host network (remembered), see [Traefik](#traefik) |
199
+ | `--no-firewall` / `--no-harden` / `--no-traefik` / `--no-ssh-config` | skip a step |
200
+ | `--check` / `--key-only` / `--force` | report only / install only the key / apply despite conflicts |
201
+
202
+ On a first Traefik install, setup asks for the image, host network, e-mail and dashboard in a terminal. `-y`
203
+ takes the defaults. The e-mail is optional, because Let's Encrypt no longer sends expiry mails.
204
+
205
+ ## Deploy a site
206
+
207
+ Point the domain's A/AAAA record at the server first. Let's Encrypt needs to reach ports 80 and 443.
208
+ No domain yet? Leave out `-d`. landfall offers `<name>.<ip-with-dashes>.sslip.io` (`-y` accepts it) and the site has HTTPS right away.
209
+
210
+ | kind | when | how |
211
+ |---|---|---|
212
+ | **static** | default | Uploads the folder and serves it with `nginx:alpine` (gzip, long cache headers for assets). The folder is `.` if it has an `index.html`, else the first of `dist/ build/ out/ public/ _site/ site/`. `--spa` sends unknown paths to `index.html`. |
213
+ | **dockerfile** | the folder has a `Dockerfile` | Uploads the folder and builds it on the server. The port comes from `EXPOSE`, else `--port` (default 3000). `--static` forces static. |
214
+ | **image** | `--image ghcr.io/me/app:1.2` | Pulls the image and runs it. Needs `--port`. For private registries: `lf ssh het -- docker login ghcr.io`. |
215
+
216
+ ```sh
217
+ cd my-site
218
+ lf deploy -d example.com -d www.example.com -s het # static, name = folder name (-n to override)
219
+ lf deploy -b "npm run build" # build locally first
220
+ lf deploy -d app.example.com -e DATABASE_URL=postgres://… --env-file .env.production # Dockerfile app
221
+ lf deploy -n api --image ghcr.io/me/api:1.4 --port 8080 -d api.example.com # image
222
+ lf deploy # later: redeploy using ./.landfall.json
223
+ ```
224
+
225
+ The first deploy writes `.landfall.json`. Commit it:
226
+
227
+ ```json
228
+ { "name": "my-site", "server": "het", "domains": ["example.com", "www.example.com"] }
229
+ ```
230
+
231
+ Local `.env*` files are never uploaded. Pass variables with `-e`/`--env-file`, or later with `lf env`.
232
+ Switching a static release only reloads nginx, so there is no downtime. `--keep 10` keeps more releases.
233
+
234
+ ### Main domains
235
+
236
+ ```sh
237
+ lf server domain het example.com # checks DNS for example.com and *.example.com
238
+ lf deploy # site "blog" → blog.example.com
239
+ lf deploy -d shop # no dot → shop.example.com
240
+ lf domains blog --add www # www.example.com
241
+ lf deploy -d @ # @ → example.com itself
242
+ lf domains blog --add @ # blog also serves example.com
243
+ lf server domain het --add other.org # more main domains; the first stays primary
244
+ lf server domain het --primary other.org # switch the primary
245
+ lf server domain het --rm other.org # drop one; --clear drops all (back to sslip.io)
246
+ ```
247
+
248
+ `server domain` prints the A records to add: one for the domain and a wildcard `*.example.com`. With those in
249
+ place, every new site resolves without touching DNS again. For non-primary main domains, write the full name (`-d shop.other.org`).
250
+
251
+ A domain belongs to one site. Giving it to another one (`lf deploy -d @`, `lf domains shop --add example.com`)
252
+ asks, then moves it: the old site keeps its other domains. A move that would leave a site with none is refused,
253
+ and so is a redeploy whose domain comes only from `.landfall.json` (pass `-d` to move it on purpose).
254
+
255
+ ## Day-to-day
256
+
257
+ ```sh
258
+ lf ls # sites with status
259
+ lf sites info # domains, container, releases
260
+ lf logs -f # follow logs (-n 500 for more lines)
261
+ lf rollback # previous release (--to <id> for a specific one)
262
+ lf env API_KEY=abc # set env (container is recreated); -u KEY removes one
263
+ lf restart | stop | start
264
+ lf domains # where DNS points, whether HTTPS answers
265
+ lf domains --add www.example.com # also --rm, --set (updates .landfall.json)
266
+ lf auth -u anna # login in front of the site (asks for the password, -p passes it)
267
+ lf auth --rm-user anna | --off
268
+ lf open
269
+ lf sites rm blog # delete the site (asks you to type the name)
270
+ lf logs api -s het # another site on another server
271
+ ```
272
+
273
+ Commands that remove something ask first: `sites rm`, `domains --rm/--set`, `server domain --rm/--clear`,
274
+ `auth --rm-user/--off`, `firewall rm`, `undo` and `server rm`. `sites rm` and `undo --all` want the name typed
275
+ back. Domain and login changes are journaled, so `lf undo` reverts them.
276
+
277
+ ## Updates
278
+
279
+ ```sh
280
+ lf updates # packages (security marked, reboot needed), images, Docker/compose versions
281
+ lf update # upgrade packages and pull newer images (asks first)
282
+ lf update --packages --security # only security updates (apt, dnf)
283
+ lf update --packages --reboot # reboot afterwards if needed
284
+ lf update --images # Traefik and image sites: pull, recreate
285
+ lf update blog --images # one site
286
+ lf update --compose # newest compose, where landfall installed it
287
+ ```
288
+
289
+ Package upgrades (apt-get, dnf/yum, apk) cannot be undone. Image and compose updates record the previous version,
290
+ so `lf undo` restores it. Landfall never touches images pinned by digest, Dockerfile sites or foreign containers.
291
+ Version-pinned tags show the newest tag of the same shape (`traefik:v3.6` → `traefik:v3.7`).
292
+
293
+ ## Traefik
294
+
295
+ ```sh
296
+ lf traefik status # container state, routes, mode
297
+ lf traefik logs -f # certificate errors show up here
298
+ lf traefik setup --email you@example.com # reconfigure (safe to re-run)
299
+ lf traefik setup --dashboard traefik # dashboard at traefik.<main domain>; `off` removes it
300
+ lf traefik setup --host-network # bind 80/443 on the host
301
+ ```
302
+
303
+ landfall's Traefik is the container `traefik` from `/opt/landfall/traefik/docker-compose.yml`. By default Docker
304
+ publishes 80/443 to it. Sites work the same in both modes:
305
+
306
+ | | ports published (default) | `--host-network` |
307
+ |---|---|---|
308
+ | client IP in logs / `X-Forwarded-For` | real IPv4; IPv6 may show Docker's gateway | always real |
309
+ | ufw | Docker's NAT bypasses ufw for 80/443 | ufw applies |
310
+
311
+ Traefik only answers hosts it has a certificate for (`sniStrict`). A domain pointed at the server but served
312
+ by no site fails the TLS handshake, as if nothing listened there, instead of showing a 404 or Traefik's own
313
+ certificate; plain HTTP to it redirects to HTTPS and fails the same way. A new site's domain fails the same way
314
+ for the seconds until Let's Encrypt issues its certificate. Your own certificates and Traefik config go into
315
+ `/opt/landfall/traefik/dynamic/`: landfall rewrites only `landfall.yml` there.
316
+
317
+ The dashboard password is generated and printed once (`--dashboard-password` sets your own). Image, network mode,
318
+ e-mail, staging and dashboard are remembered per server.
319
+
320
+ **Using a Traefik you already run.** If 80/443 belong to your own Traefik container, landfall does not install a second one:
321
+
322
+ ```sh
323
+ lf traefik use -s het # finds the container on :80/:443
324
+ lf traefik use traefik-reverseproxy-1 -s het # or name it
325
+ ```
326
+
327
+ landfall reads the network, HTTPS entrypoint and cert resolver from the container's flags. If your Traefik is
328
+ configured by a file, pass `--network proxy --entrypoint websecure --resolver letsencrypt`. The choice is stored
329
+ in `/opt/landfall/proxy.env`. landfall never changes that Traefik.
330
+
331
+ ## Firewall
332
+
333
+ ```sh
334
+ lf firewall -s het # rules + each listening port: open, limited, blocked, localhost only
335
+ lf firewall allow 51820/udp
336
+ lf firewall allow 5432 --from 10.0.0.0/8 --comment "db, lan only"
337
+ lf firewall deny 8080 # goes before the allow rules, so it wins
338
+ lf firewall update 3 --action deny # numbers as `lf firewall` prints them
339
+ lf firewall rm 3 # or by text: lf firewall rm "allow 8080"
340
+ lf firewall enable | disable # enable installs ufw if needed and allows ssh first
341
+ ```
342
+
343
+ - Changes run as root or with sudo. If the user has neither (like `deploy`), landfall uses root's key login.
344
+ - A change that would block the ssh port, or `enable` while ports in use have no rule, is refused. `--force` overrides.
345
+ - Docker-published ports bypass ufw, so a deny rule doesn't close them. Bind them to `127.0.0.1` in their compose file instead.
346
+ - `update` replaces the rule. If ufw rejects the new rule, the old one is put back.
347
+
348
+ ## History and undo
349
+
350
+ Every change landfall makes is appended to `/opt/landfall/journal.log` on the server: when, which local user and
351
+ command, what changed and the shell that reverts it.
352
+
353
+ ```sh
354
+ lf history -s het # newest first; ↺ undoable, · not undoable, ✓ already undone
355
+ lf undo -s het # revert the latest run with something left to undo
356
+ lf undo 4 # run #4
357
+ lf undo 4.2 # only its second step
358
+ lf undo --all # everything, newest first
359
+ ```
360
+
361
+ - **Undoable:** setup (packages and Docker stay installed), firewall rules and on/off, deploys and rollbacks
362
+ (previous release and env), env changes, stop/start, domains, logins, Traefik setup and `traefik use`, image and
363
+ compose updates.
364
+ - **Not undoable:** `sites rm`, restarts, package upgrades, and a firewall rule that replaced an existing one.
365
+ - Steps revert newest first, each as the user that made it. The first failure stops the rest.
366
+ - Undo changes the server only. Local `~/.config/landfall` and `.landfall.json` stay as they are.
367
+ - Overwritten files are backed up as `.<name>.landfall-<run>-<n>`, and the newest 10 are kept per file.
368
+
369
+ ## Managing servers
370
+
371
+ ```sh
372
+ lf server add het # register an existing ssh alias
373
+ lf server add box --host 1.2.3.4 -u ubuntu -i ~/.ssh/box --default
374
+ lf server add web --host 1.2.3.4 -u admin # asks the password once, installs ~/.ssh/landfall_web
375
+ lf server config het # landfall entry, Traefik settings, ssh login, keys, Host block
376
+ lf server list --all
377
+ lf server use het
378
+ lf server rm het # forget locally
379
+ lf ssh het -- docker ps
380
+ ```
381
+
382
+ `server add` installs nothing on the server. It writes a `Host <name>` block between `# >>> landfall:<name>` markers
383
+ (`--no-ssh-config` keeps the details in landfall's config instead). In a Host block you wrote yourself, landfall
384
+ only steps in when the key does not work. It then puts the working `IdentityFile` first, drops lines whose file is
385
+ gone, and keeps a backup as `~/.ssh/config.landfall-bak`.
386
+
387
+ ## Dashboards
388
+
389
+ **Web (`lf` or `lf ui`).** The dashboard listens on `127.0.0.1` and opens your browser. Servers are on the left
390
+ (★ marks the default). A server tab has Sites, Updates, Firewall, History and Settings. **Deploy folder…** browses
391
+ local folders or takes a dropped folder or `.zip`. Every action streams the output of its plain command into a side
392
+ panel. Destructive actions ask first. Login works through the printed `/login?t=…` link. The token is kept in
393
+ `~/.config/landfall/ui-token`, and you can delete that file to rotate it. Requests with a foreign `Host` or `Origin`
394
+ are refused. Running `lf` again while the dashboard is running just opens the page.
395
+
396
+ **Terminal (`lf tui`).**
397
+
398
+ ```

412
+ ## Files and config
413
+
414
+ | local file | content |
415
+ |---|---|
416
+ | `~/.config/landfall/config.json` | registered servers, default server, per-server settings |
417
+ | `~/.config/landfall/projects.json` | folders deployed from this machine (dashboard *Recent*/*Redeploy*) |
418
+ | `~/.config/landfall/ui-token` | web dashboard login token |
419
+ | `~/.config/landfall/uploads/` | folders dropped into the dashboard, removed after a day |
420
+ | `~/.ssh/landfall_<name>` | generated keys |
421
+ | `~/.ssh/config` | `Host <name>` blocks between `# >>> landfall:<name>` markers |
422
+ | `./.landfall.json` | per-project deploy settings |
423
+
424
+ | env var | effect |
425
+ |---|---|
426
+ | `LANDFALL_CONFIG_DIR` | use another directory than `~/.config/landfall` |
427
+ | `LANDFALL_SSH_CONFIG` | use another ssh config file (`ssh -F`) |
428
+ | `LANDFALL_PASSWORD` | login password for `setup`/`server add` |
429
+
430
+ **Coming from `srv`** (landfall's old name): `~/.config/srv` moves to `~/.config/landfall` on the first run, and
431
+ `srv.json`, `~/.ssh/srv_<name>`, `# >>> srv:` blocks and `$SRV_*` variables keep working. A server set up by `srv`
432
+ still has `/opt/srv`: other commands refuse it until `lf setup <name>` moves it to `/opt/landfall` and renames
433
+ the site containers. Sites keep serving, Traefik restarts once, and older changes can no longer be undone.
434
+ All of this lives in `src/legacy.ts`.
435
+
436
+ On the server:
437
+
438
+ ```
439
+ /opt/landfall/
440
+ traefik/docker-compose.yml Traefik, ports 80/443, Let's Encrypt (HTTP-01)
441
+ traefik/letsencrypt/acme.json
442
+ proxy.env only with `lf traefik use`
443
+ sites/<name>/
444
+ site.json metadata + release history
445
+ docker-compose.yml container landfall-<name> on network "web" with Traefik labels
446
+ nginx.conf static sites
447
+ .env app sites (0600)
448
+ releases/<id>/ last 5 kept
449
+ current -> releases/<id>
450
+ journal.log every change, with the shell that reverts it
451
+ ```
452
+
453
+ `cd /opt/landfall/sites/blog && docker compose ps` works as usual.
454
+
455
+ ## Troubleshooting
456
+
457
+ | symptom | fix |
458
+ |---|---|
459
+ | `setup needs root or passwordless sudo` | use `-u root`, or give your user passwordless sudo |
460
+ | certificate warning in the browser | you used `--staging`: `lf setup <name> --no-staging` |
461
+ | no certificate at all | DNS must point at the server and 80/443 must be open; see `lf traefik logs` |
462
+ | TLS handshake fails | no site serves the domain (`lf domains --add …`), or its certificate isn't issued yet: `lf traefik logs` |
463
+ | site container keeps restarting | `lf logs`; for apps check `--port` and env |
464
+ | `skipping firewall/ssh hardening: …` | setup protected something running there. Fix it, or re-run with `--force` |
465
+ | `skipping traefik: port 80 is in use by …` | free the port, then `lf traefik setup`. If it's a Traefik, `lf traefik use` |
466
+ | `… blocks ssh port 22 … (--force to do it anyway)` | `lf firewall allow 22/tcp` first, or force if you have another way in |
467
+ | `ssh cannot resolve <name>` | not in your ssh config: `lf server add <name> --host …` |
468
+ | `… Pass -y to confirm (no terminal to ask)` | non-interactive run of a command that asks: add `-y` |
469
