StellaOps Compose Profiles

These Compose bundles ship the minimum services required to exercise the scanner pipeline plus control-plane dependencies. Every profile is pinned to immutable image digests sourced from deploy/releases/*.yaml and is linted via docker compose config in CI.

Layout

Path Purpose
docker-compose.dev.yaml Edge/nightly stack tuned for laptops and iterative work.
docker-compose.stage.yaml Stable channel stack mirroring pre-production clusters.
docker-compose.prod.yaml Production cutover stack with front-door network hand-off and Notify events enabled.
docker-compose.airgap.yaml Stable stack with air-gapped defaults (no outbound hostnames).
docker-compose.mirror.yaml Managed mirror topology for *.stella-ops.org distribution (Concelier + Excititor + CDN gateway).
docker-compose.telemetry.yaml Optional OpenTelemetry collector overlay (mutual TLS, OTLP ingest endpoints).
docker-compose.telemetry-storage.yaml Prometheus/Tempo/Loki storage overlay with multi-tenant defaults.
env/*.env.example Seed .env files that document required secrets and ports per profile.

Usage

cp env/dev.env.example dev.env
docker compose --env-file dev.env -f docker-compose.dev.yaml config
docker compose --env-file dev.env -f docker-compose.dev.yaml up -d

The stage and airgap variants behave the same way—swap the file names accordingly. All profiles expose 443/8443 for the UI and REST APIs, and they share a stellaops Docker network scoped to the compose project.

Graph Explorer reminder: If you enable Cartographer or Graph API containers alongside these profiles, update etc/authority.yaml so the cartographer-service client is marked with properties.serviceIdentity: "cartographer" and carries a tenant hint. The Authority host now refuses graph:write tokens without that marker, so apply the configuration change before rolling out the updated images.

Telemetry collector overlay

The OpenTelemetry collector overlay is optional and can be layered on top of any profile:

./ops/devops/telemetry/generate_dev_tls.sh
docker compose -f docker-compose.telemetry.yaml up -d
python ../../ops/devops/telemetry/smoke_otel_collector.py --host localhost
docker compose -f docker-compose.telemetry-storage.yaml up -d

The generator script creates a development CA plus server/client certificates under deploy/telemetry/certs/. The smoke test sends OTLP/HTTP payloads using the generated client certificate and asserts the collector reports accepted traces, metrics, and logs. The storage overlay starts Prometheus, Tempo, and Loki with multitenancy enabled so you can validate the end-to-end pipeline before promoting changes to staging. Adjust the configs in deploy/telemetry/storage/ before running in production. Mount the same certificates when running workloads so the collector can enforce mutual TLS.

For production cutovers copy env/prod.env.example to prod.env, update the secret placeholders, and create the external network expected by the profile:

docker network create stellaops_frontdoor
docker compose --env-file prod.env -f docker-compose.prod.yaml config

Scanner event stream settings

Scanner WebService can emit signed scanner.report.* events to Redis Streams when SCANNER__EVENTS__ENABLED=true. Each profile ships environment placeholders you can override in the .env file:

  • SCANNER_EVENTS_ENABLED toggle emission on/off (defaults to false).
  • SCANNER_EVENTS_DRIVER currently only redis is supported.
  • SCANNER_EVENTS_DSN Redis endpoint; leave blank to reuse the queue DSN when it uses redis://.
  • SCANNER_EVENTS_STREAM stream name (stella.events by default).
  • SCANNER_EVENTS_PUBLISH_TIMEOUT_SECONDS per-publish timeout window (defaults to 5).
  • SCANNER_EVENTS_MAX_STREAM_LENGTH max stream length before Redis trims entries (defaults to 10000).

Helm values mirror the same knobs under each services env map (see deploy/helm/stellaops/values-*.yaml).

Scheduler worker configuration

Every Compose profile now provisions the scheduler-worker container (backed by the StellaOps.Scheduler.Worker.Host entrypoint). The environment placeholders exposed in the .env samples match the options bound by AddSchedulerWorker:

  • SCHEDULER_QUEUE_KIND queue transport (Nats or Redis).
  • SCHEDULER_QUEUE_NATS_URL NATS connection string used by planner/runner consumers.
  • SCHEDULER_STORAGE_DATABASE MongoDB database name for scheduler state.
  • SCHEDULER_SCANNER_BASEADDRESS base URL the runner uses when invoking Scanners /api/v1/reports (defaults to the in-cluster http://scanner-web:8444).

Helm deployments inherit the same defaults from services.scheduler-worker.env in values.yaml; override them per environment as needed.

Front-door network hand-off

docker-compose.prod.yaml adds a frontdoor network so operators can attach Traefik, Envoy, or an on-prem load balancer that terminates TLS. Override FRONTDOOR_NETWORK in prod.env if your reverse proxy uses a different bridge name. Attach only the externally reachable services (Authority, Signer, Attestor, Concelier, Scanner Web, Notify Web, UI) to that network—internal infrastructure (Mongo, MinIO, RustFS, NATS) stays on the private stellaops network.

Updating to a new release

  1. Import the new manifest into deploy/releases/ (see deploy/README.md).
  2. Update image digests in the relevant Compose file(s).
  3. Re-run docker compose config to confirm the bundle is deterministic.

Keep digests synchronized between Compose, Helm, and the release manifest to preserve reproducibility guarantees. deploy/tools/validate-profiles.sh performs a quick audit.
