|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
NxMesh follows a **Control Plane / Data Plane** architecture pattern, similar to service meshes like Istio or Linkerd, but specifically optimized for nginx management.
|
|
|
|
### Design Principles
|
|
|
|
1. **Separation of Concerns**: Master handles policy and state; Agent handles execution
|
|
2. **Eventual Consistency**: Configuration changes propagate asynchronously
|
|
3. **Local Autonomy**: Agents can operate independently during master outages
|
|
4. **Zero-Downtime Updates**: Nginx reloads without dropping connections
|
|
5. **Observability First**: Every action is observable and traceable
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## System Components
|
|
|
|
### 1. Master (Control Plane)
|
|
|
|
The Master is the brain of the system. It maintains the desired state and coordinates all agents.
|
|
|
|

|
#### Master Responsibilities
|
|
|
|
| Module | Responsibility |
|
|
|--------|----------------|
|
|
| API Layer | HTTP REST API for external clients (CLI, Web UI, external systems) |
|
|
| Config Engine | Template rendering, validation, versioning |
|
|
| Event & Agent Coordination | Agent connection management, config event broadcasting |
|
|
| Auth Service | Authentication (JWT/OAuth2, Password) and authorization (RBAC) |
|
|
| Storage Layer | PostgreSQL for persistent state, Redis for caching |
|
|
| Observability | Metrics collection, distributed tracing, structured logging |
|
|
|
|
#### Future: High Availability Mode
|
|
|
|
For large-scale deployments, the master can be extended with:
|
|
- **Raft Consensus** for leader election and state replication
|
|
- **Cluster Manager** for coordinating multiple master instances
|
|
- This is **not required** for single-organization, self-hosted deployments |
|
|
|
|
### 2. Agent (Data Plane)
|
|
|
|
The Agent is a lightweight sidecar that runs alongside each nginx instance.
|
|
|
|

```
|
|
|
|
#### Agent Responsibilities
|
|
|
|
| Module | Responsibility |
|
|
|--------|----------------|
|
|
| Master Client | Maintains persistent connection to master (gRPC + WebSocket fallback) |
|
|
| Nginx Controller | Generates configs, manages reloads, handles lifecycle |
|
|
| Health Monitor | Monitors nginx health, system resources, reports status |
|
|
| Metrics Exporter | Prometheus endpoint, statsd client for metrics |
|
|
| Local Cache | Caches configs for offline operation, backup/restore |
|
|
| Watchdog | Detects config drift, auto-recovery from failures |
|

## Data Flow
|
|
|
|
### 1. Configuration Push Flow
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
┌────────┐ ┌────────┐ ┌────────┐ ┌────────┐ ┌────────┐
|
|
│ User │────▶│ API │────▶│ Config │────▶│ Event │────▶│ Agents │
|
|
│ Action │ │ Server │ │ Engine │ │ Bus │ │ │
|
|
└────────┘ └────────┘ └────────┘ └────────┘ └────────┘
|
|
│
|
|

|
|
┌────────┐ ┌────────┐ ┌────────┐ ┌────────┐ ┌────────┐
|
|
│ Nginx │◀────│ Config │◀────│ Template│◀────│ gRPC │◀────│ Agent │
|
|
│Reloaded│ │Applied │ │ Render │ │ Stream │ │Receive │
|
|
└────────┘ └────────┘ └────────┘ └────────┘ └────────┘
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Flow Description:**
|
|
1. User creates/updates configuration via API or Web UI
|
|
2. Master validates and stores configuration in database
|
|
3. Config Engine determines affected agents
|
|
4. Event Bus broadcasts configuration change event
|
|
5. Agents receive event via gRPC streaming
|
|
6. Agent renders local nginx configuration from templates
|
|
7. Agent validates new configuration (`nginx -t`)
|
|
8. Agent applies configuration via graceful reload
|
|
9. Agent reports status back to master
|
|
|
|
### 2. Health Reporting Flow
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
┌────────┐ ┌────────┐ ┌────────┐ ┌────────┐
|
|
│ Nginx │────▶│ Agent │────▶│ Master │────▶│ DB │
|
|
│ Health │ │ Health │ │ API │ │ Store │
|
|
└────────┘ └────────┘ └────────┘ └────────┘
|
|
│
|
|
▼
|
|
┌────────┐
|
|
│Prometheus│
|
|
│ Server │
|
|
└────────┘
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Flow Description:**
|
|
1. Agent periodically checks nginx health (HTTP health endpoint)
|
|
2. Agent collects system metrics (CPU, memory, connections)
|
|
3. Agent sends health report to master via gRPC
|
|
4. Master aggregates and stores in database
|
|
5. Prometheus scrapes agent metrics endpoint
|
|
|
|
### 3. Certificate Management Flow
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
┌────────┐ ┌────────┐ ┌────────┐ ┌────────┐ ┌────────┐
|
|
│ Let's │◀────│ Master │────▶│ Agent │────▶│ Nginx │◀────│ Client │
|
|
│Encrypt │ │ ACME │ │ Deploy │ │ Serve │ │Request │
|
|
└────────┘ └────────┘ └────────┘ └────────┘ └────────┘
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Flow Description:**
|
|
1. Master requests certificate from Let's Encrypt (ACME protocol)
|
|
2. Master distributes certificate to relevant agents
|
|
3. Agent stores certificate locally (encrypted at rest)
|
|
4. Agent updates nginx configuration with new certificate
|
|
5. Nginx serves HTTPS traffic with new certificate
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Communication Protocols
|
|
|
|
### Master-Agent Protocol
|
|
|
|
NxMesh uses a **bidirectional gRPC stream** as the primary communication channel between master and agents.
|
|
|
|
```protobuf
|
|
// agent.proto
|
|
syntax = "proto3";
|
|
package nxmesh.agent;
|
|
|
|
service AgentService {
|
|
// Bidirectional streaming for real-time communication
|
|
rpc Stream(stream AgentMessage) returns (stream MasterMessage);
|
|
|
|
// Unary calls for specific operations
|
|
rpc ReportHealth(HealthReport) returns (Ack);
|
|
rpc ReportMetrics(MetricsBatch) returns (Ack);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
message AgentMessage {
|
|
string agent_id = 1;
|
|
uint64 timestamp = 2;
|
|
oneof payload {
|
|
RegistrationRequest register = 3;
|
|
HealthReport health = 4;
|
|
ConfigStatus config_status = 5;
|
|
MetricsBatch metrics = 6;
|
|
LogBatch logs = 7;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
message MasterMessage {
|
|
uint64 timestamp = 1;
|
|
oneof payload {
|
|
RegistrationResponse register_response = 2;
|
|
ConfigUpdate config_update = 3;
|
|
Command command = 4;
|
|
Ack ack = 5;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
message ConfigUpdate {
|
|
string config_id = 1;
|
|
uint64 version = 2;
|
|
repeated VirtualHost virtual_hosts = 3;
|
|
repeated Upstream upstreams = 4;
|
|
map<string, string> ssl_certificates = 5;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

## Security Model
|
|
|
|
### Authentication
|
|
|
|
| Component | Method | Details |
|
|
|-----------|--------|---------|
|
|
| Master API | JWT (RS256) | Short-lived access tokens, refresh tokens |
|
|
| Master WebSocket | JWT | Same tokens as API |
|
|
| Master-Agent gRPC | **TLS + Shared Secret** | Server TLS + bootstrap token → session HMAC |
|
|
| Agent Registration | One-time Bootstrap Token | Generated in Master UI, single-use, short expiry |
|
|
|
|
### Agent Authentication Flow (TLS + Shared Secret)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
┌─────────────┐ ┌──────────────┐
|
|
│ Agent │ │ Master │
|
|
└──────┬──────┘ └──────┬───────┘
|
|

|
│ 1. TLS Handshake (verify server certificate) │
|
|
│◄───────────────────────────────────────────────►│
|
|
│ │
|
|
│ 2. Register with bootstrap_token │
|
|
│ ── gRPC: RegisterAgent { token } ─────────────▶│
|
|
│ │
|
|
│ 3. Receive agent_id + session_key (+ key_id) │
|
|
│◄────────────────────────────────────────────────│

|
│ [Encrypted over TLS] │
|
|
│ │
|
|
│ 4. Subsequent requests: HMAC-signed │
|
|
│ ── gRPC + Headers: │
|
|
│ X-Agent-ID: <agent_id> │
|
|
│ X-Key-ID: <session_key_id> │
|
|
│ X-Signature: HMAC(request_body, session_key)│
|
|
│────────────────────────────────────────────────▶│
|
|
│ │
|
|
│ 5. Key Rotation (primary/secondary) │
|
|
│◄═══════════════════════════════════════════════►│
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Security Properties:**
|
|
- **TLS**: Encrypts channel, verifies master identity (server cert)
|
|
- **Bootstrap Token**: One-time use, time-limited, proves initial identity
|
|
- **Session Key**: Per-agent secret, used for HMAC request signing
|
|
- **Key Rotation**: Primary/secondary key design for seamless rotation
|
|
|
|
### Authorization (RBAC)
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example RBAC Configuration
|
|
roles:
|
|
admin:
|
|
permissions:
|
|
- "*:*"
|
|
|
|
operator:
|
|
permissions:
|
|
- "config:read"
|
|
- "config:write"
|
|
- "agent:read"
|
|
- "agent:reload"
|
|
|
|
viewer:
|
|
permissions:
|
|
- "config:read"
|
|
- "agent:read"
|
|
- "metrics:read"
|
|
|
|
# Resource hierarchy
|
|
resources:
|
|
- organization
|
|
- workspace
|
|
- agent
|
|
- certificate
|
|
- config (virtual_host, upstream)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Deployment Patterns
|
|
|
|
### Pattern 1: Docker Sidecar (Development/Single Host)
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# docker-compose.yml
|
|
version: '3.8'
|
|
|
|
services:
|
|
nxmesh-master:
|
|
image: nxmesh/master:latest
|
|
ports:
|
|
- "8080:8080" # API
|
|
- "8443:8443" # gRPC
|
|
environment:
|
|
- DATABASE_URL=postgres://...
|
|
|
|
nginx-site-a:
|
|
image: nginx:alpine
|
|
volumes:
|
|
- site-a-html:/usr/share/nginx/html
|
|
|
|
nxmesh-agent-a:
|
|
image: nxmesh/agent:latest
|
|
network_mode: service:nginx-site-a # Share network namespace with nginx
|
|
pid: service:nginx-site-a # Share PID namespace (for nginx reload)
|
|
environment:
|
|
- NXMESH_MASTER_URL=wss://nxmesh-master:8443
|
|
- NXMESH_AGENT_TOKEN=${AGENT_TOKEN_A}
|
|
- NXMESH_DEPLOYMENT_MODE=docker_sidecar
|
|
- NXMESH_NGINX_PID_FILE=/var/run/nginx.pid
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Pros:** Simple, isolated, good for development
|
|
**Cons:** Docker-only, single host limitation
|
|
|
|
### Pattern 2: Kubernetes Sidecar
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# deployment.yaml
|
|
apiVersion: apps/v1
|
|
kind: Deployment
|
|
metadata:
|
|
name: web-service
|
|
spec:
|
|
replicas: 3
|
|
template:
|
|
spec:
|
|
containers:
|
|
- name: nginx
|
|
image: nginx:alpine
|
|
volumeMounts:
|
|
- name: nxmesh-config
|
|
mountPath: /etc/nginx/conf.d
|
|
|
|
- name: nxmesh-agent
|
|
image: nxmesh/agent:latest
|
|
env:
|
|
- name: NXMESH_MASTER_URL
|
|
value: "wss://nxmesh-master.default.svc:8443"
|
|
- name: NXMESH_AGENT_TOKEN
|
|
valueFrom:
|
|
secretKeyRef:
|
|
name: nxmesh-agent-token
|
|
key: token
|
|
volumeMounts:
|
|
- name: nxmesh-config
|
|
mountPath: /etc/nginx/conf.d
|
|
volumes:
|
|
- name: nxmesh-config
|
|
emptyDir: {}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Pros:** Native K8s integration, auto-scaling, health checks
|
|
**Cons:** K8s-only, more complex setup
|
|
|
|
### Pattern 3: Standalone (VM/Bare Metal)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
|
|
│ VM / Bare Metal │
|
|

|
|
│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │
|
|
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Pros:** Works anywhere, minimal dependencies
|
|
**Cons:** Manual setup, no container isolation
|

## Failure Handling
|
|
|
|
### Master Failure Scenarios
|
|
|
|
| Scenario | Impact | Mitigation |
|
|
|----------|--------|------------|
|
|
| Master unreachable | Agents continue with cached config | Agents retry with exponential backoff |
|
|
| Master crashes | New connections fail, existing continue | External load balancer + health checks (HA: future) |
|
|
| Database down | Read-only mode for existing configs | Database replication, failover |
|
|
|
|
### Agent Failure Scenarios
|
|
|
|
| Scenario | Impact | Mitigation |
|
|
|----------|--------|------------|
|
|
| Agent crashes | Nginx continues running | Systemd restart, watchdog |
|
|
| Config validation fails | Previous config kept | Atomic config swap, rollback |
|
|
| Nginx crashes | Agent restarts nginx | Health checks, auto-restart |
|
|
| Network partition | Agent operates in "island mode" | Local cache, reconciliation on reconnect |
|
|
|
|
