Run inside a box, setup-host built a nested boxnet claiming the exact
subnet and gateway of the guest's own uplink: the guest then held
10.88.0.1 as a LOCAL address while its default route pointed at 10.88.0.1
as its GATEWAY, carried two connected routes for the subnet, and suffered
intermittent, self-recovering egress blackouts (~24-36 s, roughly hourly)
that no host-side check could attribute. The flagship use case funnels
agents toward exactly this — working on box, in a box — so the guard, not
the operator, has to catch it.
setup-host now scans the target subnet BEFORE any mutation: the default
route's gateway inside it (the smoking gun — that is this machine's own
uplink), or any non-boxnet interface holding an address in it, refuses
with the way out named (BOX_SUBNET). A prior boxnet owning the subnet is
the one claimant that is NOT a collision — the legitimate re-run — and an
existing bridge on a DIFFERENT subnet refuses too: setup-host converges a
bridge, it never re-addresses one under live leases.
BOX_SUBNET=<a.b.c.0/24> (validated at the gate, alongside BOX_DNS) moves
the whole stack from one place:
· the bridge address derives (ipv4.address=<gw>/24)
· the ACL's gateway carve-out derives — and the ruleset is now converged
via 'network acl edit', not created once: the #80 escape hatch (moving
the bridge) left the old /32 behind, stranding box DNS inside the
10.0.0.0/8 drop, which presents as a dead resolver, never as a stale
ACL
· box-firewall reads the gateway off the live bridge ('|| true' because
under pipefail an absent bridge would kill the script instead of
answering "no bridge yet")
· the drill, multiuser rehearsal and migrate-host probes derive the
prefix from 'incus network get boxnet ipv4.address' instead of
hardcoding 10.88 — a BOX_SUBNET host must not fail its own rehearsals

# --- Sibling isolation: a box must not reach another box --------------------
|
|
#
|
|
# This is the ONE rule that makes "isolated even from each other" true, and it
|
|
# is not the one anyone expected. The Incus ACL drops egress to 10.0.0.0/8, and
|
|
# boxnet's 10.88.0.0/24 sits inside it — so on paper box→box was already
|
|
# blocked twice over (the ingress default is drop as well). It was not: a live
|
|
# probe found box A's SYN arriving at box B and B answering with a RST.
|
|
#
|
|
# Why: two boxes on one bridge are on the same L2 segment. Their frames are
|
|
# SWITCHED between bridge ports, never routed — so they never traverse the
|
|
# netfilter path where an L3 ACL lives. The ACL is not wrong, it simply never
|
|
# sees this traffic.
|
|
#
|
|
# The bridge family DOES see it. Its forward hook fires exactly when a frame is
|
|
# passed from one bridge port to another — which, on boxnet, means box→box
|
|
# and nothing else: frames addressed to the gateway are delivered locally (the
|
|
# INPUT hook), and so is anything being routed out to the internet. So dropping
|
|
# every forwarded frame on this bridge isolates the boxes from one another and
|
|
# costs them nothing else. DHCP and ARP still work: they are broadcast, and the
|
|
# local delivery to dnsmasq happens on INPUT, not FORWARD.

# --- The loopback door's missing half (box expose, #55) ----------------------
|
|
#
|
|
# 'box expose' publishes a box port on the host's 127.0.0.1 via an Incus
|
|
# NAT-mode proxy device. Incus installs the DNAT (prerouting + output hooks)
|
|
# and NOTHING else — its only SNAT is a hairpin rule for the box reaching its
|
|
# own exposure. A host-local `curl 127.0.0.1:<hport>` is therefore DNAT'd
|
|
# toward the box and then dies twice:
|
|
# · the kernel refuses to route a loopback-SOURCED packet out a
|
|
# non-loopback interface (a martian) unless route_localnet is set on the
|
|
# egress bridge;
|
|
# · even then, the box would reply to 127.0.0.1 — its OWN loopback —
|
|
# unless the source is rewritten to something it can answer.
|
|
# This is exactly the plumbing Docker installs on docker0 to make
|
|
# `-p 127.0.0.1:x:y` work: route_localnet=1 on the bridge, plus a masquerade
|
|
# of loopback-sourced traffic leaving it (the box then sees the gateway and
|
|
# replies through it). Scoped to boxnet only, never 'all'.
|
|
#
|
|
# route_localnet's known risk — it makes 127/8 a routable DESTINATION on the
|
|
# interface, so a box could aim frames at the host's loopback services — is
|
|
# covered by the ingress stance above: everything arriving on boxnet at the
|
|
# host is dropped except DNS/DHCP (UFW 'deny in' or the inet-box input chain),
|
|
# and that drop fires regardless of the destination address.
