Dominik Roth b3db6f0f82 Add remote node support to nullpoint cluster 
- Full nodes: contribute storage, act as lighthouses
- Remote nodes: don't contribute storage, not lighthouses, but have full read/write access
- Expanded README with clearer feature descriptions
- Interactive node type selection during join
- Remote nodes useful for edge locations or low-storage devices

nullpoint


Secure AlmaLinux (RHEL) Server setup with LUKS encryption, Tang, TPM and RAID1 for Hetzner Dedicated Servers.

Features

  • AlmaLinux Server base
  • Full disk encryption with LUKS
  • Remote unlock via Tang server
  • TPM-based boot verification
  • mdadm RAID1 + XFS (RHEL standard)
  • SSH key-only access with early boot SSH via dropbear
  • Best-in-class terminal: zsh + powerlevel10k + evil tmux

Unlock Strategy

  1. Automatic unlock via Tang/TPM (default):

    • Configure TPM2 and/or Tang servers in post-install.sh
    • System unlocks automatically if conditions are met
    • No manual intervention required

  2. Manual unlock via SSH (fallback):

    • SSH to server on port 22 (dropbear in early boot)
    • Enter LUKS passphrase when prompted (twice, once per disk)
    • Used when automatic unlock fails or is not configured

Install

Boot your Hetzner server into rescue mode and run:

wget -qO- https://git.dominik-roth.eu/dodox/nullpoint/raw/branch/master/get.sh | bash

The installer will:

  • Detect your SSH key from the current session
  • Ask for hostname and username
  • Generate a secure LUKS passphrase (SAVE IT!)
  • Download and configure everything
  • Run Hetzner's installimage automatically

nullpoint cluster


Encrypted network and storage pool using Nebula mesh VPN and GlusterFS distributed filesystem.

Features

  • Encrypted mesh network - All traffic encrypted via Nebula overlay (192.168.100.0/24)
  • Distributed storage - Data replicated across all storage nodes
  • Simple joining - Single preshared secret + lighthouse endpoint
  • Flexible nodes - Full nodes (replicate data) or remote nodes (no storage)

Setup

wget -qO- https://git.dominik-roth.eu/dodox/nullpoint/raw/branch/master/cluster-setup.sh | sudo bash

Choose your node type:

  • Full node - Contributes storage, becomes lighthouse, read/write access
  • Remote node - Full read/write access, no local storage contribution

Storage mounted at /data/storage/ on all nodes.
