# Setting Up Your Vanity 💄

Local development for The Super Boujee Business Box ✨ runs on a Lima VM with k3s. The whole stack — every app, every service — runs on your laptop. It's the same architecture as production, just with smaller resource limits and self-signed TLS.

---

## Prerequisites

- macOS (Apple Silicon or Intel)
- [Lima](https://lima-vm.io/) — lightweight Linux VMs on Apple Virtualization.framework
- [mkcert](https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert) — local TLS certificates
- [Sunbeam CLI](cli.md) — the remote control

```bash
brew install lima mkcert
```

And install sunbeam:
```bash
git clone https://src.sunbeam.pt/studio/cli.git
cd cli && cargo install --path sunbeam
```

---

## Create the VM

```bash
limactl start --name=sunbeam --memory=12 --cpus=6 --disk=60 template://k3s
```

This gives you a k3s cluster inside a Lima VM with:
- 12GB RAM (enough for the full stack)
- 6 CPUs
- 60GB disk

Lima uses Apple's Virtualization.framework — native performance, no emulation overhead.

---

## Configure Sunbeam

Get the Lima VM IP and set up your context:

```bash
LIMA_IP=$(limactl shell sunbeam -- hostname -I | awk '{print $1}')

sunbeam config set \
  --domain "${LIMA_IP}.sslip.io" \
  --infra-dir /path/to/sbbb \
  --acme-email dev@localhost
```

### sslip.io DNS

No DNS configuration needed. [sslip.io](https://sslip.io) provides wildcard DNS resolution — any subdomain of `{IP}.sslip.io` resolves to that IP:

```
docs.192.168.5.2.sslip.io  → 192.168.5.2
meet.192.168.5.2.sslip.io  → 192.168.5.2
src.192.168.5.2.sslip.io   → 192.168.5.2
```

Every app just works.

---

## TLS with mkcert

Generate a wildcard certificate for your local domain:

```bash
mkcert "*.${LIMA_IP}.sslip.io"
```

This creates `_wildcard.{IP}.sslip.io.pem` + `_wildcard.{IP}.sslip.io-key.pem`. The sunbeam CLI handles mounting these into the cluster as a K8s Secret for Pingora.

mkcert's root CA is already trusted by your system — no browser warnings.

---

## Bring Up the Cluster

```bash
# Install cert-manager, Linkerd, TLS
sunbeam up

# Deploy everything
sunbeam apply

# Seed all credentials in OpenBao
sunbeam seed

# Bootstrap Gitea orgs and repos
sunbeam bootstrap
```

That's it. Go get a coffee — or a mimosa, we don't judge. When you come back:

```bash
sunbeam status        # check everything's running
sunbeam check         # functional health probes
```

## Access Your Stack

Open in your browser:

| App | URL |

| Docs | `https://docs.{LIMA_IP}.sslip.io` |
| Drive | `https://drive.{LIMA_IP}.sslip.io` |
| Mail | `https://mail.{LIMA_IP}.sslip.io` |
| Messages (Matrix) | `https://messages.{LIMA_IP}.sslip.io` |
| Meet | `https://meet.{LIMA_IP}.sslip.io` |
| Calendar | `https://cal.{LIMA_IP}.sslip.io` |
| Projects | `https://projects.{LIMA_IP}.sslip.io` |
| Gitea | `https://src.{LIMA_IP}.sslip.io` |

## Resource Budget

Target: ~5.5–6GB total for pods, plus OS overhead.

| Component | Memory |
|-----------|--------|
| Linkerd (control + 20 sidecars) | ~300MB |
| PostgreSQL | 512MB |
| Valkey | 64MB |
| OpenSearch | 512MB |
| SeaweedFS (master + volume + filer) | ~576MB |
| Ory (Kratos + Hydra) | ~128MB |
| La Suite apps (7 × ~256MB) | ~1.8GB |
| Gitea | 256MB |
| Sol☀️ | 256–512MB |
| Hive | 64MB |
| Pingora | 256MB |
| Monitoring (Prometheus + Grafana + Loki + Tempo + Alloy) | ~1GB |

12GB VM gives comfortable headroom.

## Differences from Production

| Aspect | Production | Local |
|--------|-----------|-------|
| Domain | `sunbeam.pt` | `{LIMA_IP}.sslip.io` |
| TLS | cert-manager + Let's Encrypt | mkcert self-signed wildcard |
| Server | 64GB Scaleway Elastic Metal | 12GB Lima VM |
| Backups | barman → Scaleway Object Storage | Disabled |
| Email DNS | MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, PTR | N/A (no inbound email) |
| Email relay | Scaleway TEM | Local Postfix (or disabled) |

The stack is architecturally identical — same manifests, same overlays, just different resource limits and TLS.

## Common Commands

```bash
# Rebuild and deploy a service
sunbeam build sol --push --deploy

# Watch logs
sunbeam logs matrix/sol -f

# Restart something that's misbehaving
sunbeam restart lasuite/drive

# Apply changes to just one namespace
sunbeam apply lasuite

# Check service health
sunbeam check

# Access raw kubectl
sunbeam k8s get pods -A
```

---

## Troubleshooting

**Pod stuck in CrashLoopBackOff:**
```bash
sunbeam logs {namespace}/{service}    # check the logs
sunbeam restart {namespace}/{service} # try a restart
```

**Database connection errors:**
```bash
sunbeam check data                    # check PostgreSQL health
sunbeam vault status                  # is OpenBao sealed?
sunbeam vault unseal <key>            # unseal if needed
```

**TLS certificate errors:**
```bash
# Regenerate mkcert certs
mkcert "*.${LIMA_IP}.sslip.io"
sunbeam apply ingress                 # redeploy with new cert
```

**Everything's broken (we've all been there):**
```bash
sunbeam status                        # what's actually running?
sunbeam mon loki logs '{namespace="monitoring"}' # check the watchers
```
