prometheus/deploy/prometheus-x.conf

# prometheus.x — the standalone service, served by this VPS.
#
# BCNR serves this name via its `ip`+`tls` records: Theseus and Ariadne
# resolve prometheus.x by fetching the on-chain record, which says
# "connect to <this IP>, pin the TLS cert whose DER sha256 equals <this
# fingerprint>". The resolver reverse-proxies to this vhost; a browser
# with Ariadne's Thread installed does the same.
#
# The cert is self-signed and pinned on chain — no CA is involved and
# none needs to be, which is a narrower claim than a CA makes and does
# not expire on anyone else's schedule. Rotating is one record update.
#
# To regenerate the cert and read out its DER sha256:
#   bash /opt/prometheus/deploy/make-tls-cert.sh
#
# The vhost listens only on HTTPS; the on-chain `tls` pin means plain
# HTTP would be refused by the resolver anyway, and we do not want a
# scanner to be able to read ANYTHING here over cleartext.
