mrhid6 11b1936bb2 feat: documentation site
Docusaurus 3 docs-only site at docsite/, served statically by nginx under
/docs on the marketing host. Covers getting started (self-hosted install
through first server and first licence), the control plane, Vantage HQ,
a reference section and operations.

Wired into docker-compose.site.yml as docsite (3005:80) and into the
image build workflow, rebuilding on its own directory only. Never added
to the self-hosted compose file.

settings Settings Settings

One page, three groups: Access, Monitoring and Integrations. Plus the licence, which has its own page.

Settings require the owner or admin role.

:::info Where instance settings went Members and single sign-on used to live at /settings/instance. They are now the Access group at the top of this page — splitting "who can sign in" from "how this instance behaves" produced two half-pages and a nav entry nobody could distinguish from Settings. The old path still redirects. :::

Access

Members

Add, remove and re-role the people who can sign in.

Role Can
owner Everything
admin Everything except owner-only settings
member Servers, keys, workflows, monitors, secrets, console

Local members authenticate with email and a bcrypt-hashed password.

Members managed by Vantage HQ

On a cloud instance, people granted access from the HQ portal appear here as read-only rows with a link to the portal.

:::warning HQ-managed users cannot be edited locally Changing the role of, or deleting, an hq-sourced user is refused with 409. HQ owns their role, their password and whether they exist at all — a local change would be overwritten by the next sync and would leave two writers for one password hash. Manage them from People and roles. :::

Single sign-on (OIDC)

Configured per organisation:

Field
Issuer Your provider's issuer URL
Client ID
Client secret Stored AES-256-GCM encrypted

Sign-in then goes /auth/oidc/start → your provider → /auth/oidc/callback.

Local and OIDC users coexist. Keep at least one local owner: if the provider is misconfigured or unreachable, a local account is the way back in.

Monitoring

Integrations

Workflow log retention

How long run logs are kept.

Value Meaning
unset 30 days
a number that many days
0 forever

ESO read token

The bearer token External Secrets Operator uses to read secret groups. Shown once, stored as a SHA-256 hash, rotatable. See Secrets.

Licence

/settings/license shows the deployment, tier, server allowance, enabled features and expiry.

On self-hosted, paste a licence here. This works even while the current licence is expired — that is the way out of degraded mode.

On cloud, there is no paste form. The endpoint answers 409 cloud_managed, because a cloud licence is written by HQ directly. The page links to the portal instead.

See Licensing and entitlements.

Sessions

Sessions are an opaque token in the km_session cookie, held in Redis with a 24-hour TTL. There is no per-session management UI; restarting Redis signs everyone out and affects nothing else.

Host and organisation guard

On a multi-tenant deployment, a request to <slug>.vantage.<tld> resolves the organisation from the slug and rejects a session belonging to a different one. The label it looks for comes from APP_ROOT_LABEL.

:::warning A wrong APP_ROOT_LABEL disables the guard It does not fail loudly — it simply stops matching, and the host check stops protecting anything. If you serve the UI on a custom domain, set it to match. :::
