Shared Infrastructure

Docker

Purpose:

  • Container hosting
  • Service isolation

Internal Network

Purpose:

  • Private communication between services

Proxy Network

Purpose:

  • Public HTTP and HTTPS services through Nginx Proxy Manager

Isolated Networks

Purpose:

  • Separate specialized stacks such as Jitsi, Xray and CI/CD runners where active runtime attachments support it

Shared Secrets

Primary source:

Infisical

Contains:

  • SMTP credentials
  • PostgreSQL passwords
  • MSSQL SA password
  • OpenProject secrets
  • DbGate password
  • Nextcloud secrets
  • Future OAuth secrets

Secrets are injected into standard SilverLinux Compose stacks at runtime through slcompose.

Exception:

  • Sentry follows its upstream self-hosted installer pattern because it is a much larger multi-service application.

Legacy note:

  • /srv/secrets/company.env is no longer part of the active secret model and should be removed if it still exists on the server.

Architecture Decisions

OpenProject Selected

OpenProject is the primary project management platform.

Plane.so Removed

Plane.so was removed to reduce maintenance complexity and duplicate functionality. It is not used and will not be used. Its containers, Nginx Proxy Manager route and unused SSL certificate were removed.

Centralized Secrets

All standard service credentials are stored in:

Infisical

They are injected by slcompose at runtime. Sentry is the exception and follows the default self-hosted Sentry installation model.

Xray Connectivity Layer

Xray is classified as a tunneling and connectivity layer rather than an application backend.

Multi-Network Segmentation

SilverLinux uses internal, proxy and isolated infrastructure networks to separate database, public and specialized stack traffic.
