# GitLab Stack Creator Skill
## Overview
The stack-creator skill helps create new GitLab stack projects from scratch or templates, ensuring they follow all architectural patterns and best practices from the start.
## Core Creation Principles
Creates stacks that follow:
- All configuration through docker-compose.yml and ./config directory
- Secrets in ./secrets and docker secrets
- docker-entrypoint.sh only when containers don't support native secrets
- No root-owned files (all files owned by current user)
- _temporary directory for transient files
- Proper .gitignore for secrets and temporary files
## Stack Structure Created
```
project-name/
├── docker-compose.yml
├── .gitignore
├── .env.example
├── README.md
├── setup.sh (optional)
├── config/
│   └── .gitkeep
├── secrets/
│   └── .gitkeep
└── _temporary/
    └── .gitkeep
```
## Features
### 1. Interactive Stack Creation
Prompts for:
- Stack name
- Services to include (from templates)
- Network configuration
- Volume requirements
- Secret requirements
### 2. Template-Based Creation
Pre-built templates for common stacks:
- **web-stack**: nginx + app + postgres
- **monitoring-stack**: prometheus + grafana
- **database-stack**: postgres/mysql + redis
- **gitlab-stack**: gitlab + runner + registry
- **media-stack**: jellyfin/plex + *arr stack
- **custom**: build from scratch
### 3. Automatic Best Practices
- Generates docker-compose.yml with proper secret references
- Creates .gitignore excluding secrets and _temporary
- Sets up proper directory permissions
- Initializes git repository (optional)
- Creates template README with documentation
- Generates .env.example for non-secret configuration
### 4. docker-entrypoint.sh Generation
When services don't support docker secrets natively:
- Creates docker-entrypoint.sh script
- Includes secret loading logic
- Sets proper permissions (755)
- Documents when to use vs not use
## Usage Examples
### Interactive Mode
```bash
# Create new stack interactively
claude create-stack
# Create in specific directory
claude create-stack /path/to/new-stack
# Create with specific template
claude create-stack --template web-stack
# Create with name directly
claude create-stack my-awesome-stack
```
### Template Mode
```bash
# Create from specific template
claude create-stack --template gitlab-stack
# List available templates
claude create-stack --list-templates
# Create with services
claude create-stack --services nginx,postgres,redis
# Create minimal stack (no templates)
claude create-stack --minimal
```
### Advanced Options
```bash
# Create without git initialization
claude create-stack --no-git
# Create with custom user/group
claude create-stack --user 1001:1001
# Create with validation
claude create-stack --validate
# Dry run (show what would be created)
claude create-stack --dry-run
```
## docker-compose.yml Template
Generated compose file follows best practices:
```yaml
version: '3.8'
services:
  app:
    image: nginx:alpine
    container_name: ${STACK_NAME}_app
    restart: unless-stopped
    user: "${UID}:${GID}"
    ports:
      - "${APP_PORT:-8080}:80"
    volumes:
      - ./config/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:ro
      - app_data:/var/www/html
    secrets:
      - app_secret
    networks:
      - stack_network
secrets:
  app_secret:
    file: ./secrets/app_secret.txt
volumes:
  app_data:
    driver: local
networks:
  stack_network:
    driver: bridge
```
## .gitignore Template
```gitignore
# Secrets - NEVER commit these
/secrets/*
!secrets/.gitkeep
# Temporary files
/_temporary/*
!_temporary/.gitkeep
# Environment files with secrets
.env
# Docker volumes (if using local bind mounts)
/volumes/
# OS files
.DS_Store
Thumbs.db
# IDE
.idea/
.vscode/
*.swp
*.swo
# Logs

   docker-compose up -d
   \`\`\`
## Configuration
Configuration files are in `./config/`:
- List of config files and their purpose
## Secrets
This stack requires the following secrets in `./secrets/`:
- `secret_name.txt`: Description
**IMPORTANT**: Never commit files in ./secrets/ directory!
## Maintenance
### Logs
\`\`\`bash
docker-compose logs -f [service]
\`\`\`
### Restart

```
## Service Templates
### nginx Service
```yaml
nginx:
  image: nginx:alpine
  user: "${UID}:${GID}"
  volumes:
    - ./config/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:ro
  ports:
    - "${NGINX_PORT:-80}:80"
```
### PostgreSQL Service
```yaml
postgres:
  image: postgres:15-alpine
  user: "${UID}:${GID}"
  environment:
    POSTGRES_DB: ${POSTGRES_DB}
    POSTGRES_USER: ${POSTGRES_USER}
  secrets:
    - db_password
  volumes:
    - postgres_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
```
### Application with docker-entrypoint.sh
```yaml
app:
  image: myapp:latest
  user: "${UID}:${GID}"
  entrypoint: ["/docker-entrypoint.sh"]
  secrets:
    - api_key
  volumes:
    - ./docker-entrypoint.sh:/docker-entrypoint.sh:ro
```
## docker-entrypoint.sh Template
For services that need it:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
set -e
# Load secrets from docker secrets
if [ -f /run/secrets/api_key ]; then
  export API_KEY=$(cat /run/secrets/api_key)
fi
if [ -f /run/secrets/db_password ]; then
  export DB_PASSWORD=$(cat /run/secrets/db_password)
fi
# Execute the main command
exec "$@"
```
## Post-Creation Actions
After creating stack, Claude should:
1. **Set Permissions**: Ensure all files owned by current user
2. **Validate**: Run stack-validator on created stack
3. **Initialize Git** (if requested): 
   - `git init`
   - Add initial commit
   - Create .git/hooks for secret protection
4. **Show Next Steps**: Display what user needs to do next
5. **Clean _temporary**: Remove any temp files used during creation
## Next Steps Output
```
✅ Stack created successfully: my-stack
📋 Next Steps:
1. Review docker-compose.yml and customize as needed
2. Create required secrets in ./secrets/:
   - ./secrets/db_password.txt
   - ./secrets/api_key.txt
3. Copy and configure .env file:
   cp .env.example .env
4. Review configuration files in ./config/
5. Start your stack:
   docker-compose up -d
📚 Documentation: ./README.md
🔍 Validate: claude validate-stack ./my-stack
```
## Integration with Other Skills
- **stack-validator**: Automatically validate after creation
- **secrets-manager**: Help generate initial secrets
- **documentation-generator**: Generate extended docs
- **setup script**: Include reference to setup.sh if present
## Best Practices Enforced
1. **No hardcoded secrets**: All secrets use docker secrets
2. **User ownership**: All files owned by current user (UID:GID)
3. **Proper .gitignore**: Secrets and temp files excluded
4. **Documentation**: README with clear setup steps
5. **Example configs**: .env.example for reference
6. **Minimal docker-entrypoint.sh**: Only when necessary
7. **Standard structure**: Consistent across all stacks
## Error Handling
- Check if directory already exists
- Validate template selection
- Ensure Docker is installed
- Verify user has necessary permissions
- Validate generated files before finalizing
- Rollback on failure
## Configuration
Allow .stack-creator.yml for defaults:
```yaml
# Default settings
default_template: web-stack
default_user: "${UID}:${GID}"
auto_validate: true
init_git: true
templates_path: ~/.stack-templates/
```
## Custom Templates
Users can add custom templates to `~/.stack-templates/`:
```
~/.stack-templates/
├── my-template/
│   ├── template.yml (describes template)
│   ├── docker-compose.yml
│   ├── config/
│   └── README.md
```
## Validation on Creation
After creation, automatically:
- Check directory structure
- Validate docker-compose.yml syntax
- Verify .gitignore coverage
- Confirm file ownership
- Test stack can be parsed
---
*This skill ensures all new stacks start with best practices built-in.*

# Newt Blueprint Generator
Generate and validate Pangolin Newt blueprint configurations in YAML or Docker Labels format.
## Overview
This skill provides expert assistance for creating, validating, and managing Pangolin Newt blueprint configurations. It supports both YAML configuration files and Docker Compose label-based configurations.
## When to Use
Use this skill when you need to:
- Create Pangolin blueprint configurations
- Generate YAML configuration files for Newt
- Create Docker Compose files with Pangolin labels
- Configure proxy resources (HTTP, TCP, UDP)
- Set up client resources for Pangolin Olm
- Configure authentication (SSO, basic auth, pincode, password)
- Validate blueprint configurations
- Troubleshoot blueprint validation errors
- Convert between YAML and Docker Labels formats
## Installation
```bash
/plugin install newt-blueprint-generator
```
## Usage
### Triggering the Skill
The skill automatically activates when you mention:
- "Newt blueprint"
- "Pangolin blueprint"
- "Generate blueprint configuration"
- "Create proxy resource"
- "Pangolin YAML config"
- "Docker labels for Pangolin"
### Example Prompts
1. **Simple Web Application**:
   ```
   Create a Newt blueprint for a web app running on localhost:8080
   accessible at app.example.com
   ```
2. **TCP Database**:
   ```
   Generate a blueprint for exposing a PostgreSQL database on port 5432
   ```
3. **Docker Compose Setup**:
   ```
   Create a Docker Compose file with Pangolin labels for an nginx
   service at nginx.example.com
   ```
4. **Secured Resource**:
   ```
   Generate a blueprint with SSO authentication for secure.example.com
   ```
5. **Multi-Target Resource**:
   ```
   Create a blueprint with multiple backend targets for load balancing
   ```
## Features
### Comprehensive Blueprint Generation
- **HTTP Proxy Resources**: Full domain-based routing with headers, rules, and authentication
- **TCP/UDP Proxy Resources**: Raw port-based proxying for databases, game servers, etc.
- **Client Resources**: Olm client resources for SSH, RDP, and other protocols
- **Authentication**: SSO, basic auth, pincode, and password authentication
- **Access Control**: IP, CIDR, path, and country-based rules
### Validation
The skill automatically validates:
- Protocol-specific requirements (HTTP vs TCP/UDP)
- Unique constraints (`full-domain`, `proxy-port`)
- Authentication compatibility (HTTP only)
- Target method requirements
- Port ranges (1-65535)
- Email format for SSO users
### Format Support
- **YAML Configuration**: Standalone files for Newt CLI or API
- **Docker Labels**: Embedded in Docker Compose files
## Configuration Examples
### HTTP Proxy Resource (YAML)
```yaml
proxy-resources:
  web-app:
    name: Web Application
    protocol: http
    full-domain: app.example.com
    headers:
      - name: X-Custom-Header
        value: custom-value
    targets:
      - hostname: localhost
        port: 8080
        method: https
```
### TCP Proxy Resource (YAML)
```yaml
proxy-resources:
  database:
    name: PostgreSQL Database
    protocol: tcp
    proxy-port: 5432
    targets:
      - hostname: localhost
        port: 5432
```
### Docker Compose with Labels
```yaml
services:
  nginx:
    image: nginx:latest
    labels:
      - pangolin.proxy-resources.web.name=Web Server
      - pangolin.proxy-resources.web.full-domain=web.example.com
      - pangolin.proxy-resources.web.protocol=http
      - pangolin.proxy-resources.web.targets[0].method=http
```
## Common Validation Errors
The skill helps you resolve common errors:
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| Duplicate 'full-domain' | Same domain used twice | Use unique subdomains |
| Duplicate 'proxy-port' | Same port used twice | Assign unique ports |
| Missing 'method' field | HTTP target without method | Add `method: http/https/h2c` |
| Auth on TCP/UDP | Auth not supported | Remove auth or use HTTP |
| Admin in sso-roles | Reserved role | Remove "Admin" from roles |
## Best Practices
1. **Use Descriptive IDs**: Name resources clearly (e.g., `web-app-prod`, `db-backup`)
2. **Enable Authentication**: Secure HTTP resources with SSO or password
3. **Document Ports**: Keep track of port assignments to avoid conflicts
4. **Explicit Sites**: Specify `site` for multi-site deployments
5. **Path Matching**: Use `prefix` for broad matches, `exact` for specific endpoints
6. **Validate Before Deploy**: Test configurations locally before production

# Newt Blueprint Generator
Expert assistance for creating, validating, and managing Pangolin Newt blueprint configurations.
## When to Use This Skill
This skill should be triggered when:
- Creating Pangolin blueprint configurations
- Generating YAML configuration files for Newt
- Creating Docker Compose files with Pangolin labels
- Configuring proxy resources (HTTP, TCP, UDP)
- Setting up client resources for Olm
- Configuring authentication (SSO, basic auth, pincode, password)
- Validating blueprint configurations
- Troubleshooting blueprint validation errors
- Converting between YAML and Docker Labels formats
## Overview
Pangolin Blueprints are declarative configurations that allow you to define resources and their settings in a structured format. They support two formats:
1. **YAML Configuration Files**: Standalone configuration files
2. **Docker Labels**: Configuration embedded in Docker Compose files
## Blueprint Formats
### YAML Configuration Format
YAML configs can be applied using:
- **Newt CLI**: Pass `--blueprint-file /path/to/blueprint.yaml`
- **API**: POST to `/org/{orgId}/blueprint` with base64-encoded JSON body
Example Newt usage:
```bash
newt --blueprint-file /path/to/blueprint.yaml <other-args>
```
### Docker Labels Format
For containerized applications, blueprints can be defined using Docker labels with the `pangolin.` prefix.
Enable Docker socket access:
```bash
newt --docker-socket /var/run/docker.sock <other-args>
```
Or use environment variable:
```bash
DOCKER_SOCKET=/var/run/docker.sock
```
## Resource Types
### Proxy Resources
Proxy resources expose HTTP, TCP, or UDP services through Pangolin.
#### HTTP Proxy Resource Example
```yaml
proxy-resources:
  resource-nice-id-uno:
    name: this is a http resource
    protocol: http
    full-domain: uno.example.com
    host-header: example.com
    tls-server-name: example.com
    headers:
      - name: X-Example-Header
        value: example-value
      - name: X-Another-Header
        value: another-value
    rules:
      - action: allow
        match: ip
        value: 1.1.1.1
      - action: deny
        match: cidr
        value: 2.2.2.2/32
      - action: pass
        match: path
        value: /admin
    targets:
      - site: lively-yosemite-toad
        hostname: localhost
        method: http
        port: 8000
      - site: slim-alpine-chipmunk
        hostname: localhost
        path: /admin
        path-match: exact
        method: https
        port: 8001
```
#### TCP/UDP Proxy Resource Example
```yaml
proxy-resources:
  resource-nice-id-dos:
    name: this is a raw resource
    protocol: tcp
    proxy-port: 3000
    targets:
      - site: lively-yosemite-toad
        hostname: localhost
        port: 3000
```
#### Targets-Only Resources
Simplified resources containing only target configurations:
```yaml
proxy-resources:
  additional-targets:
    targets:
      - site: another-site
        hostname: backend-server
        method: https
        port: 8443
      - site: another-site
        hostname: backup-server
        method: http
        port: 8080
```
**Note**: When using targets-only resources, `name` and `protocol` fields are not required.
### Client Resources
Client resources define proxied resources accessible via Olm client (SSH, RDP):
```yaml
client-resources:
  client-resource-nice-id-uno:
    name: this is my resource
    protocol: tcp
    proxy-port: 3001
    hostname: localhost
    internal-port: 3000
    site: lively-yosemite-toad
```
## Authentication Configuration
Authentication is **off by default**. Enable by adding fields in the `auth` section.
**Note**: Authentication is only allowed on HTTP resources, not TCP/UDP.
```yaml
proxy-resources:
  secure-resource:
    name: Secured Resource
    protocol: http
    full-domain: secure.example.com
    auth:
      pincode: 123456
      password: your-secure-password
      basic-auth:
        user: asdfa
        password: sadf
      sso-enabled: true
      sso-roles:
        - Member
        - Admin
      sso-users:
        - user@example.com
      whitelist-users:
        - admin@example.com
```
## Docker Labels Format
### Complete Docker Compose Example
```yaml
services:
  newt:
    image: fosrl/newt
    container_name: newt
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
    environment:
      - PANGOLIN_ENDPOINT=https://app.pangolin.net
      - NEWT_ID=h1rbsgku89wf9z3
      - NEWT_SECRET=z7g54mbcwkglpx1aau9gb8mzcccoof2fdbs97keoakg2pp5z
      - DOCKER_SOCKET=/var/run/docker.sock
  nginx1:
    image: nginxdemos/hello
    container_name: nginx1
    labels:
      # Proxy Resource Configuration
      - pangolin.proxy-resources.nginx.name=nginx
      - pangolin.proxy-resources.nginx.full-domain=nginx.fosrl.io
      - pangolin.proxy-resources.nginx.protocol=http
      - pangolin.proxy-resources.nginx.headers[0].name=X-Example-Header
      - pangolin.proxy-resources.nginx.headers[0].value=example-value
      # Target Configuration - port and hostname auto-detected
      - pangolin.proxy-resources.nginx.targets[0].method=http
      - pangolin.proxy-resources.nginx.targets[0].path=/path
      - pangolin.proxy-resources.nginx.targets[0].path-match=prefix
  nginx2:
    image: nginxdemos/hello
    container_name: nginx2
    labels:
      # Additional target with explicit hostname and port
      - pangolin.proxy-resources.nginx.targets[1].method=http
      - pangolin.proxy-resources.nginx.targets[1].hostname=nginx2
      - pangolin.proxy-resources.nginx.targets[1].port=80
networks:
  default:
    name: pangolin_default
```
### Docker Labels Considerations
- **Automatic Discovery**: When hostname and internal port are not defined, Pangolin auto-detects from container configuration
- **Site Assignment**: If no site is specified, resource is assigned to the discovering Newt site
- **Configuration Merging**: Configuration across containers is merged to form complete resource definitions

## Validation Rules and Constraints
### Resource-Level Validations
1. **Targets-Only Resources**: A resource can contain only `targets` field, making `name` and `protocol` optional
2. **Protocol-Specific Requirements**:
   - **HTTP Protocol**: Must have `full-domain` and all targets must have `method` field
   - **TCP/UDP Protocol**: Must have `proxy-port` and targets must NOT have `method` field
   - **TCP/UDP Protocol**: Cannot have `auth` configuration
3. **Port Uniqueness**:
   - `proxy-port` values must be unique within `proxy-resources`
   - `proxy-port` values must be unique within `client-resources`
   - Cross-validation between proxy and client resources is not enforced
4. **Domain Uniqueness**: `full-domain` values must be unique across all proxy resources
5. **Target Method Requirements**: When protocol is `http`, all non-null targets must specify a `method`
## Common Validation Errors
### "Admin role cannot be included in sso-roles"
The `Admin` role is reserved and cannot be included in the `sso-roles` array.
**Solution**: Remove "Admin" from the `sso-roles` array.
### "Duplicate 'full-domain' values found"
Each `full-domain` must be unique across all proxy resources.
**Solution**: Use different subdomains or paths for multiple resources.
### "Duplicate 'proxy-port' values found"
Port numbers in `proxy-port` must be unique within their resource type.
**Solution**: Assign unique port numbers within `proxy-resources` and `client-resources` separately.
### "When protocol is 'http', all targets must have a 'method' field"
All targets in HTTP proxy resources must specify the connection method.
**Solution**: Add `method: http`, `method: https`, or `method: h2c` to all targets.
### "When protocol is 'tcp' or 'udp', targets must not have a 'method' field"
TCP and UDP targets should not include the `method` field.
**Solution**: Remove the `method` field from TCP/UDP resource targets.
### "When protocol is 'tcp' or 'udp', 'auth' must not be provided"
Authentication is only supported for HTTP resources.
**Solution**: Remove the `auth` section from TCP/UDP resources.
### "Resource must either be targets-only or have both 'name' and 'protocol' fields"
Resources must be either targets-only or complete resource definitions.
**Solution**: Either provide only `targets` field, or include both `name` and `protocol` fields.
## Workflow for Generating Blueprints
When a user requests a Pangolin Newt blueprint configuration:
1. **Gather Requirements**:
   - Resource type (proxy or client)
   - Protocol (HTTP, TCP, UDP)
   - Domain or port requirements
   - Target endpoints (hostname, port, site)
   - Authentication needs (if HTTP)
   - Access control rules (if any)
   - Format preference (YAML or Docker Labels)
2. **Select Format**:
   - Use **YAML** for standalone configurations or API deployment
   - Use **Docker Labels** for containerized applications
3. **Validate Configuration**:
   - Ensure protocol-specific requirements are met
   - Check for unique `full-domain` (HTTP) or `proxy-port` (TCP/UDP)
   - Verify authentication is only on HTTP resources
   - Confirm all HTTP targets have `method` field
   - Ensure TCP/UDP targets don't have `method` field
4. **Generate Configuration**:
   - Create well-structured YAML or Docker Compose file
   - Include helpful comments explaining each section
   - Follow naming conventions (kebab-case for resource IDs)
5. **Provide Usage Instructions**:
   - Explain how to apply the configuration (Newt CLI or API)
   - Document any environment variables needed
   - Include validation commands if applicable
## Best Practices
1. **Resource IDs**: Use descriptive, kebab-case identifiers (e.g., `web-app-prod`, `database-backup`)
2. **Target Organization**: Group related targets under the same resource ID
3. **Security First**: Enable authentication for sensitive HTTP resources
4. **Port Management**: Document port assignments to avoid conflicts
5. **Site Assignment**: Explicitly specify `site` for multi-site deployments
6. **Path Matching**: Use `prefix` for broad matches, `exact` for specific endpoints
7. **Headers**: Add custom headers for backend requirements (e.g., X-Forwarded-* headers)
8. **Rules**: Order rules from most specific to least specific
9. **Validation**: Always validate configurations before deployment
10. **Documentation**: Include comments in YAML or Docker Compose files explaining non-obvious choices

```yaml
proxy-resources:
  web-app:
    name: Web Application
    protocol: http
    full-domain: app.example.com
    targets:
      - hostname: localhost
        port: 8080
        method: https
```
### Use Case 2: TCP Database Access
**Requirements**: Expose PostgreSQL database on port 5432
```yaml
proxy-resources:
  postgres-db:
    name: PostgreSQL Database
    protocol: tcp
    proxy-port: 5432
    targets:
      - hostname: localhost
        port: 5432
```
### Use Case 3: Multi-Target Load Balanced HTTP Service
**Requirements**: Multiple backend servers for the same domain
```yaml
proxy-resources:
  api-service:
    name: API Service
    protocol: http
    full-domain: api.example.com
    targets:
      - site: site-01
        hostname: backend-01
        port: 8080
        method: http
      - site: site-02
        hostname: backend-02
        port: 8080
        method: http
```
### Use Case 4: Secured Resource with SSO
**Requirements**: Web app with SSO authentication
```yaml
proxy-resources:
  secure-app:
    name: Secure Application
    protocol: http
    full-domain: secure.example.com
    auth:
      sso-enabled: true
      sso-roles:
        - Member
        - Developer
      sso-users:
        - admin@example.com
    targets:
      - hostname: localhost
        port: 3000
        method: https
```
## Communication Style
When generating blueprints:
- Ask clarifying questions if requirements are unclear
- Explain validation errors in plain language
- Provide complete, working examples
- Include comments for complex configurations
- Suggest security best practices proactively
- Offer both YAML and Docker Labels formats when appropriate

3. [Common Validation Errors](#common-validation-errors)
4. [Validation Quick Reference](#validation-quick-reference)
## Resource-Level Validations
### Targets-Only Resources
A resource can contain **only** the `targets` field:
```yaml
proxy-resources:
  additional-targets:
    targets:
      - site: another-site
        hostname: backend-server
        method: https
        port: 8443
```
When using targets-only:
- `name` field is NOT required
- `protocol` field is NOT required
- All other resource-level validations are skipped
### Protocol-Specific Requirements
#### HTTP Protocol
**Required fields:**
- `full-domain` - Must be unique across all proxy resources
- All targets must have `method` field (`http`, `https`, or `h2c`)
**Optional features:**
- `auth` configuration (SSO, basic auth, pincode, password)
- `headers` array
- `rules` array
- `host-header`
- `tls-server-name`
- `ssl` boolean
**Not allowed:**
- `proxy-port` (use `full-domain` instead)
#### TCP/UDP Protocol
**Required fields:**
- `proxy-port` - Must be unique within `proxy-resources`
- Port range: 1-65535
**Not allowed:**
- `method` field in targets
- `auth` configuration (authentication not supported)
- `full-domain` (use `proxy-port` instead)
## Property Constraints
### Port Constraints
| Property | Scope | Range | Uniqueness |
|----------|-------|-------|------------|
| `proxy-port` | proxy-resources | 1-65535 | Must be unique within proxy-resources |
| `proxy-port` | client-resources | 1-65535 | Must be unique within client-resources |
| `port` (target) | All | 1-65535 | No uniqueness constraint |
| `internal-port` | All | 1-65535 | No uniqueness constraint |
**Important:** Cross-validation between proxy and client resources is NOT enforced. You can use the same port in both `proxy-resources` and `client-resources`.
### Domain Constraints
| Property | Scope | Uniqueness | Format |
|----------|-------|------------|--------|
| `full-domain` | proxy-resources (HTTP only) | Must be unique across all proxy resources | Valid domain name |
### String Length Constraints
| Property | Min Length | Max Length | Context |
|----------|------------|------------|---------|
| `name` | 2 | 100 | All resources |
| `hostname` | 1 | 255 | All targets |
| `site` | 2 | 100 | Optional site identifier |
| `header.name` | 1 | - | Header names |
| `header.value` | 1 | - | Header values |
### Authentication Constraints
#### SSO Roles
- Cannot include `"Admin"` role (reserved)
- Must be array of strings
- Each role must be valid
#### SSO Users & Whitelist Users
- Must be valid email addresses
- Must be array of strings
#### Pincode
- Must be exactly 6 digits
- Type: number
- Example: `123456`
#### Basic Auth
- Must have both `user` and `password` fields
- Both fields are required strings
## Common Validation Errors
### 1. "Admin role cannot be included in sso-roles"
**Cause:** The `Admin` role is reserved and cannot be included in `sso-roles` array.
**Solution:**
```yaml
# ❌ Wrong
auth:
  sso-enabled: true
  sso-roles:
    - Admin    # This will fail
    - Member
# ✅ Correct
auth:
  sso-enabled: true
  sso-roles:
    - Member
    - Developer
```
### 2. "Duplicate 'full-domain' values found"
**Cause:** Each `full-domain` must be unique across all proxy resources.
**Solution:**
```yaml
# ❌ Wrong - same domain twice
proxy-resources:
  app1:
    full-domain: app.example.com
    # ...
  app2:
    full-domain: app.example.com  # Duplicate!
    # ...
# ✅ Correct - use different subdomains or paths
proxy-resources:
  app1:
    full-domain: app1.example.com
    # ...
  app2:
    full-domain: app2.example.com
    # ...
```
### 3. "Duplicate 'proxy-port' values found"
**Cause:** Port numbers in `proxy-port` must be unique within their resource type.
**Solution:**
```yaml
# ❌ Wrong - same port twice in proxy-resources
proxy-resources:
  db1:
    protocol: tcp
    proxy-port: 5432
    # ...
  db2:
    protocol: tcp
    proxy-port: 5432  # Duplicate!
    # ...
# ✅ Correct - use different ports
proxy-resources:
  db1:
    protocol: tcp
    proxy-port: 5432
    # ...
  db2:
    protocol: tcp
    proxy-port: 5433
    # ...
```
### 4. "When protocol is 'http', all targets must have a 'method' field"
**Cause:** HTTP targets must specify connection method.
**Solution:**
```yaml
# ❌ Wrong - missing method
proxy-resources:
  web-app:
    protocol: http
    full-domain: app.example.com
    targets:
      - hostname: localhost
        port: 8080
        # Missing method!
# ✅ Correct - method specified
proxy-resources:
  web-app:
    protocol: http
    full-domain: app.example.com
    targets:
      - hostname: localhost
        port: 8080
        method: https  # Added method
```
### 5. "When protocol is 'tcp' or 'udp', targets must not have a 'method' field"
**Cause:** TCP/UDP targets should not include the `method` field.
**Solution:**
```yaml
# ❌ Wrong - method on TCP target
proxy-resources:
  database:
    protocol: tcp
    proxy-port: 5432
    targets:
      - hostname: localhost
        port: 5432
        method: tcp  # Not allowed for TCP/UDP!
# ✅ Correct - no method field
proxy-resources:
  database:
    protocol: tcp
    proxy-port: 5432
    targets:
      - hostname: localhost
        port: 5432
        # No method field
```
### 6. "When protocol is 'tcp' or 'udp', 'auth' must not be provided"
**Cause:** Authentication is only supported for HTTP resources.
**Solution:**
```yaml
# ❌ Wrong - auth on TCP resource
proxy-resources:
  database:
    protocol: tcp
    proxy-port: 5432
    auth:
      password: secret  # Not allowed!
    targets:
      - hostname: localhost
        port: 5432
# ✅ Correct - no auth on TCP
proxy-resources:
  database:
    protocol: tcp
    proxy-port: 5432
    # No auth field
    targets:
      - hostname: localhost
        port: 5432
```
### 7. "Resource must either be targets-only or have both 'name' and 'protocol' fields"
**Cause:** Incomplete resource definition.
**Solution:**
```yaml
# ❌ Wrong - has name but no protocol
proxy-resources:
  incomplete:
    name: My Resource
    # Missing protocol!
    targets:
      - hostname: localhost
        port: 8080
# ✅ Correct - complete definition
proxy-resources:
  complete:
    name: My Resource
    protocol: http
    full-domain: app.example.com
    targets:
      - hostname: localhost
        port: 8080
        method: http
# ✅ Also correct - targets-only
proxy-resources:
  targets-only:
    targets:
      - hostname: localhost
        port: 8080
        method: http
```
## Validation Quick Reference
### ✅ Valid Configurations

# GitLab Stack Creator
Create new GitLab stack projects with proper directory structure, git configuration, validation hooks, and comprehensive documentation.
## Overview
The Stack Creator skill automates the creation of new GitLab stack projects following strict best practices. It integrates with stack-validator, secrets-manager, and docker-validation skills to ensure complete, validated stack setups.
## When to Use
Use this skill when you need to:
- Create a new GitLab stack project from scratch
- Initialize a Docker stack with proper directory structure
- Set up git repository with validation hooks
- Bootstrap a project with automated validation
- Create a stack following GitLab Stack Management patterns
## Installation
```bash
/plugin install stack-creator
```
## Core Principles
Stack Creator follows GitLab Stack Management patterns:
1. **Everything in docker-compose.yml and ./config**
2. **Secrets in ./secrets and Docker secrets**
3. **docker-entrypoint.sh only when necessary**
4. **No root-owned files**
5. **./_temporary for transient files**
6. **Complete validation before completion**
## Stack Creation is Complete When
A stack is considered complete ONLY when:
- ✅ **stack-validator** reports NO issues
- ✅ **secrets-manager** is satisfied (NO open issues)
- ✅ **docker-validation** is satisfied (NO issues)
- ✅ All validation scripts execute successfully
- ✅ Git repository properly initialized and configured
- ✅ Documentation complete in ./docs
**IMPORTANT**: This skill NEVER uses workarounds. If something fails, it stops and asks for user guidance.
## Usage
### Triggering the Skill
The skill activates when you mention:
- "Create a new stack"
- "Initialize a GitLab stack"
- "Set up a Docker stack project"
- "Create stack with [services]"
### Example Prompts
1. **Simple Web Stack**:
   ```
   Create a new stack for a web application with nginx
   ```
2. **Full Application Stack**:
   ```
   Create a stack with nginx, PostgreSQL, and Redis for production
   ```
3. **Development Stack**:
   ```
   Initialize a development stack with PostgreSQL and Redis
   ```

## Workflow
### Phase 1: Gather Requirements
Asks for:
- Project name
- Services needed
- Remote git repository URL (optional)
- Environment type
- Special requirements
### Phase 2: Create Structure
Creates:
- Directory structure
- Git repository
- Git configuration (main, ff-only)
- .gitignore and .dockerignore
### Phase 3: Docker Setup
Generates:
- docker-compose.yml
- .env.example
- Validates with docker-validation
### Phase 4: Service Configuration
Uses config-generator to create:
- nginx configuration
- PostgreSQL configuration
- Redis configuration
- Other service configs
### Phase 5: Secrets Setup
Uses secrets-manager to:
- Create secure secrets
- Configure Docker secrets
- Validate NO secrets in wrong places
- Generate entrypoint scripts if needed
### Phase 6: Validation Scripts
Creates:
- scripts/validate-stack.sh
- scripts/pre-commit
- scripts/setup-hooks.sh
- Installs hooks
### Phase 7: Documentation
Generates:
- docs/setup.md
- docs/services.md
- docs/decisions/0001-stack-architecture.md
- CLAUDE.md
- README.md
### Phase 8: Final Validation
Runs complete validation:
- stack-validator
- secrets-manager
- docker-validation
- File ownership check
- Git setup verification
### Phase 9: Initial Commit
Creates initial commit when validation passes.
## Validation
### Pre-Commit Hook
Automatically runs before each commit:
- Checks for secrets in staged files
- Checks for root-owned files
- Runs full stack validation
- Blocks commit if issues found
Can skip with: `git commit --no-verify` (emergency only)
### Manual Validation
Run anytime:
```bash
./scripts/validate-stack.sh
```
Validates:
- Stack structure
- Secrets configuration
- Docker configuration
- File ownership
- Git exclusions
## Git Configuration
### Branch Strategy
- **Default Branch**: main
- **Merge Strategy**: ff-only (fast-forward only)
- **No Rebase**: Unless explicitly requested
### Commit Standards
Example commit messages:
```
feat: add Redis service with persistence
fix: correct nginx proxy configuration
docs: update setup instructions
chore: update validation scripts
```
## Integration with Other Skills
### stack-validator
- Called during final validation
- Called in validation scripts
- Called in pre-commit hooks
- Must pass with NO issues
### secrets-manager
- Called during secrets setup
- Validates secret configuration
- Ensures NO secrets in .env
- Must be satisfied before completion
### docker-validation
- Called during Docker setup
- Validates docker-compose.yml
- Validates Dockerfiles
- Must pass with NO issues
### config-generator
- Called for each service
- Generates service configs
- Validates generated configs
- Creates configs in ./config/
## Error Handling
### Validation Failures
When validation fails:
1. Stops immediately
2. Reports issue clearly
3. Shows validation output
4. Asks user how to proceed
5. NEVER uses workarounds
### Git Issues
When git operations fail:
1. Reports the error
2. Explains the issue
3. Asks for user guidance
4. Documents the solution
### Permission Issues
When permission problems occur:
1. Reports root-owned files
2. Asks user to fix ownership
3. Validates after fixing
4. Documents proper ownership
## Best Practices
1. **Always validate** before committing
2. **Never skip hooks** without good reason
3. **Document decisions** in ./docs/decisions/
4. **Use ff-only merges** for clean history
5. **Keep secrets secure** - never commit
6. **Fix ownership** - no root files
7. **Ask when stuck** - no workarounds
8. **Follow validation** - fix all issues
## Example: Creating a Web Stack
```
User: "Create a new stack for mywebapp with nginx"
Stack Creator Response:
"I'll create mywebapp stack with nginx. Let me ask a few questions..."
Result:
✓ Directory structure created
✓ Git repository initialized (main, ff-only)
✓ docker-compose.yml created and validated
✓ nginx configuration generated
✓ Validation scripts installed
✓ Git hooks configured
✓ Documentation complete
All validations passed!
```
## Troubleshooting
### Stack Creation Fails
If stack creation stops:
1. Review the error message
2. Fix the reported issue
3. Ask the skill to continue
4. NEVER skip validation
### Validation Won't Pass
If validation keeps failing:
1. Run validators individually:
   - `claude-code run stack-validator`
   - `claude-code run secrets-manager --validate`
   - `claude-code run docker-validation`
2. Fix reported issues one by one
3. Re-run validation
4. Ask for help if stuck
### Git Configuration Issues
If git setup fails:
1. Check git is installed: `git --version`
2. Check git config: `git config --list`
3. Set manually if needed:
   ```bash
   git config init.defaultBranch main
   git config merge.ff only
   git config pull.ff only
   ```
### Permission Problems
If root-owned files appear:
```bash
# Find them
find . -user root -not -path "./.git/*"
# Fix ownership
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER .
# Re-validate
./scripts/validate-stack.sh
```

# Git Hooks and Validation Scripts Guide
This guide provides comprehensive examples and guidelines for git hooks and validation scripts used in GitLab Stack projects.
## Overview
Git hooks are scripts that run automatically at specific points in the git workflow. For GitLab Stack projects, we use hooks to ensure validation before commits.
## Directory Structure
```
project-name/
├── .git/
│   └── hooks/
│       └── pre-commit         # Installed hook
└── scripts/
    ├── pre-commit              # Source hook script
    ├── validate-stack.sh       # Full validation
    └── setup-hooks.sh          # Hook installer
```
## Core Scripts
### 1. scripts/pre-commit
The pre-commit hook runs before each commit to validate the stack.
**Location**: `scripts/pre-commit`
**Installed to**: `.git/hooks/pre-commit`
**When it runs**: Before `git commit`
```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
#
# Pre-commit hook for GitLab Stack validation
# Prevents commits that violate stack patterns
#
set -euo pipefail
# Colors for output
RED='\033[0;31m'
GREEN='\033[0;32m'
YELLOW='\033[1;33m'
NC='\033[0m' # No Color

        echo "  Fix all issues before committing."
        echo "  Or use 'git commit --no-verify' to skip (NOT recommended)."
        ((ERRORS++))
    else
        echo -e "${GREEN}✓ Stack validation passed${NC}"
    fi
else
    echo -e "${YELLOW}⚠ Skipping stack validation (./scripts/validate-stack.sh not found)${NC}"
fi
echo
# Final result
echo "========================================="
if [ $ERRORS -gt 0 ]; then
    echo -e "${RED}Pre-commit validation FAILED with $ERRORS error(s)${NC}"
    echo "========================================="
    echo
    echo "To skip this validation (NOT recommended):"
    echo "  git commit --no-verify"
    exit 1
fi
echo -e "${GREEN}Pre-commit validation PASSED!${NC}"
echo "========================================="
exit 0
```
**Usage**:
```bash
# Automatic - runs on every commit
git commit -m "message"
# Skip validation (emergency only)
git commit --no-verify -m "message"
```
---
### 2. scripts/validate-stack.sh

exit 0
```

## CI/CD Integration
### GitLab CI (.gitlab-ci.yml)
```yaml
stages:
  - validate
  - build
  - deploy
validate:
  stage: validate
  image: docker:latest
  services:
    - docker:dind
  before_script:
    - apk add --no-cache bash findutils
  script:
    - chmod +x ./scripts/validate-stack.sh
    - ./scripts/validate-stack.sh
  only:
    - merge_requests
    - main
```
### GitHub Actions (.github/workflows/validate.yml)
```yaml
name: Stack Validation
on:
  push:
    branches: [ main ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ main ]
jobs:
  validate:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Run stack validation
        run: |
          chmod +x ./scripts/validate-stack.sh
          ./scripts/validate-stack.sh
```
---
## Best Practices
### 1. Always Make Scripts Executable
```bash
chmod +x scripts/*.sh
chmod +x scripts/pre-commit
```
### 2. Test Hooks Before Committing
```bash
# Test pre-commit manually
./scripts/pre-commit
# Test validation
./scripts/validate-stack.sh
```
### 3. Document Hook Behavior
Include in README.md:
```markdown
## Git Hooks
This project uses git hooks for validation:
- **pre-commit**: Validates before each commit
- To skip: `git commit --no-verify` (emergency only)
```
### 4. Provide Skip Option
Always allow users to skip in emergencies:
```bash
git commit --no-verify -m "emergency fix"
```
### 5. Keep Hooks Fast
- Pre-commit should run in < 10 seconds
- Use quick checks when possible
- Defer expensive checks to CI/CD
### 6. Clear Error Messages
```bash
echo -e "${RED}✗ ERROR: Clear description${NC}"
echo "  Explanation of what went wrong"
echo "  How to fix it"
```
### 7. Exit Codes
```bash
# Success
exit 0
# Failure
exit 1
# Always use set -e to catch errors
set -euo pipefail
```
---
## Troubleshooting
### Hook Not Running
```bash
# Check if hook is installed
ls -la .git/hooks/pre-commit
# Check if executable
chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-commit
# Reinstall hooks
./scripts/setup-hooks.sh
```
### Hook Fails Unexpectedly
```bash
# Run hook manually to see output
./scripts/pre-commit
# Check validation separately
./scripts/validate-stack.sh
# Debug with set -x
bash -x scripts/pre-commit
```
### Skip Hook Temporarily
```bash
# Skip pre-commit
git commit --no-verify -m "message"
# Skip pre-push
git push --no-verify
```
### Permission Denied
```bash
# Make script executable
chmod +x scripts/pre-commit
chmod +x scripts/validate-stack.sh
# Reinstall hooks
./scripts/setup-hooks.sh
```
---
## Customization
### Adding Custom Checks
Edit `scripts/pre-commit`:
```bash
# Add custom check
echo "5. Running custom validation..."
if ! ./scripts/my-custom-check.sh; then
    echo -e "${RED}✗ Custom validation failed${NC}"
    ((ERRORS++))
else
    echo -e "${GREEN}✓ Custom validation passed${NC}"
fi
echo
```
### Adjusting Validation Strictness
**Strict Mode** (recommended for production):
```bash
# Fail on any error
set -euo pipefail
```
**Lenient Mode** (development only):
```bash
# Continue on errors, just report
set -uo pipefail
```
### Environment-Specific Hooks
```bash
# Check environment
if [ "${ENV:-}" = "production" ]; then
    # Strict validation for production
    ./scripts/validate-stack.sh
else
    # Lenient for development
    echo "Development environment, skipping some checks"
fi
```
---
## Summary
Git hooks ensure:
- ✅ No secrets committed
- ✅ No root-owned files
- ✅ Full stack validation before commit
- ✅ Consistent code quality
- ✅ Automated validation in workflow
All scripts are:
- Executable (`chmod +x`)
- Well-documented
- Provide clear error messages
- Support emergency skip (`--no-verify`)
- Integrate with CI/CD

\`\`\`
## Service Dependencies
\`\`\`
nginx → app → postgres
        ↓
       redis
\`\`\`
## Scaling
To scale the application:
\`\`\`bash
docker compose up -d --scale app=3
\`\`\`
Note: nginx configuration must support multiple backend servers.
```
### docs/decisions/0001-stack-architecture.md
```markdown
# 1. Stack Architecture
**Date**: YYYY-MM-DD
**Status**: Accepted
**Deciders**: [Names]
## Context
We need a consistent, maintainable approach for deploying our application stack.
## Decision
We will use GitLab Stack Management patterns:
1. All configuration in docker-compose.yml and ./config
2. All secrets in ./secrets and Docker secrets
3. docker-entrypoint.sh only when containers don't support native Docker secrets
4. No root-owned files
5. ./_temporary for transient files
6. Complete validation before deployment
## Consequences
**Positive**:
- Consistent structure across all stacks
- Automated validation prevents deployment issues
- Secure by default (secrets properly managed)
- Easy to maintain and update
- Clear separation of config and secrets
**Negative**:
- Initial setup requires more steps
- Must follow strict patterns
- Validation gates can slow rapid iteration
- Learning curve for team members
## Compliance
Stack creation enforces:
- stack-validator: Structure compliance
- secrets-manager: Secure secrets handling
- docker-validation: Docker best practices
- git hooks: Pre-commit validation
## Alternatives Considered
1. **Manual setup**: Rejected due to inconsistency
2. **.env for everything**: Rejected due to security concerns
3. **No validation**: Rejected due to quality issues
## Implementation
- Use stack-creator skill for all new projects
- Validate with ./scripts/validate-stack.sh
- Document all deviations in new ADRs
```

### CLAUDE.md Template
```markdown
# CLAUDE.md
This file provides guidance to Claude Code when working with this GitLab Stack project.
## Project Type
This is a GitLab Stack project following strict management patterns.
## Directory Structure
- `config/`: Service configurations (nginx, postgres, redis)
- `secrets/`: Docker secrets (NEVER commit actual secrets!)
- `_temporary/`: Temporary files (gitignored)
- `scripts/`: Validation and utility scripts
- `docs/`: Project documentation
## Required Skills
This project requires these Claude Code skills:
- **stack-validator**: Validate structure
- **secrets-manager**: Manage Docker secrets
- **docker-validation**: Validate Docker configs
- **config-generator**: Generate service configs
## Git Configuration
- **Branch**: main
- **Merge Strategy**: ff-only (fast-forward only)
- **Hooks**: Pre-commit validation enabled
## Validation Requirements
BEFORE any commit, ALL must pass:
1. stack-validator: NO issues
2. secrets-manager: Satisfied
3. docker-validation: NO issues
4. No root-owned files
5. No secrets in .env or docker-compose.yml environment
## Making Changes
### Adding a Service
1. Update docker-compose.yml
2. Use config-generator for configs
3. Use secrets-manager for secrets
4. Run ./scripts/validate-stack.sh
5. Fix ALL issues
6. Commit
### Modifying Configuration
1. Edit config files
2. Validate with docker-validation
3. Run ./scripts/validate-stack.sh
4. Fix issues
5. Commit
### Working with Secrets
1. Use secrets-manager for ALL secret operations
2. NEVER put secrets in .env
3. Use Docker secrets or ./secrets/
4. Validate before committing
## Important Rules
1. NEVER commit secrets
2. NEVER create root-owned files
3. NEVER skip validation without asking
4. NEVER use workarounds - ask user
5. ALWAYS validate before committing
6. ALWAYS document decisions
7. ALWAYS use ff-only merges
8. ALWAYS use main as branch name
## Troubleshooting
- Validation fails → Fix issues, don't skip
- Git conflicts → Use ff-only, ask user
- Permission issues → Check ownership, fix with chown
```
---
## Summary
All templates follow GitLab Stack Management principles:
- ✅ Secrets in Docker secrets, never in .env
- ✅ Configuration in ./config directory
- ✅ Validated before deployment
- ✅ Documented thoroughly
- ✅ Git properly configured
Use these templates as starting points and customize for your specific needs.
