# ── Server-local domain loopback overrides ────────────────────────────────────
#
# Some routers (especially newer ISP-provided devices) do not support NAT
# loopback (hairpin NAT). When a request originates on this computer and
# targets a public domain name that resolves to the router's WAN address, the
# router may refuse to loop the connection back in — causing Nextcloud, WordPress
# background jobs, and other server-side callbacks to fail even when the service
# is fully operational from the internet.
#
# This module installs a one-shot systemd service,
# ``sovran-hosts-update.service``, that reads the configured service domains
# from ``/var/lib/domains/`` at boot (and whenever triggered by the Hub after a
# domain is saved) and writes ``127.0.0.1`` entries for them into a dedicated
# Sovran-managed block in ``/etc/hosts``.
#
# With those entries in place:
# • Requests originating on this computer resolve the public domain name to
# 127.0.0.1, reach Caddy directly, and never touch the router.
# • Caddy still receives the correct public hostname via TLS SNI so virtual-
# host routing and certificate validation continue to work.
# • The Sovran Hub can verify Caddy reachability locally without needing NAT
# loopback.
#
# Limitation: this does not help other devices on your home network (phones,
# laptops). Those devices resolve domains via the router's DNS and still depend
# on NAT loopback (or require manual router DNS overrides). For now, only
# server-originated requests benefit from this override.
#
# On NixOS, /etc/hosts is normally a symlink into the Nix store and is
# regenerated by the system activation script. The ``system.activationScripts``
# hook below converts it to a writable file each time the system is activated
# (i.e. after every ``nixos-rebuild switch``) and then injects the Sovran block.
# The same wrapped Nix-store executable is reused by both the activation hook
# and the ``sovran-hosts-update.service`` unit, ensuring a deterministic runtime
# PATH in every execution context.
