add-backend / remove-backend / list-backends commands
So nobody ever has to hand-write the OLLAMA_BACKENDS JSON again. # add a backend, probe it, print the resulting .env line: neuronetz-gateway add-backend embedded http://ollama:11434 neuronetz-gateway add-backend neuro-ollama http://neuro-ollama:11434 --token ABC # update one (e.g. rotate token): neuronetz-gateway add-backend neuro-ollama http://neuro-ollama:11434 --token XYZ --replace # remove: neuronetz-gateway remove-backend neuro-ollama # peek (tokens redacted): neuronetz-gateway list-backends # write directly to a .env file (atomic temp-file + rename): neuronetz-gateway add-backend foo http://foo:11434 --token T --write-env /app/.env # show what would change without doing it: neuronetz-gateway add-backend foo http://foo:11434 --token T --dry-run What each command does: - `add-backend NAME URL` (+ optional --token / --header / --scheme / --replace / --no-validate / --write-env / --dry-run): builds a new backend list (current list parsed from OLLAMA_BACKENDS env, or synthesized from the single-backend fallback if unset), validates the new backend by probing /api/tags with the same headers the gateway will use at runtime (`build_backend_headers`), then prints the resulting OLLAMA_BACKENDS=... line ready to paste — or writes it in place if --write-env is given. Refuses to overwrite an existing name unless --replace is passed. - `remove-backend NAME` (+ --write-env / --dry-run): mirror of add-backend for removal. - `list-backends`: shows the configured backends with tokens redacted to "***" via `redacted_dump`. Useful sanity check after editing .env. All the JSON manipulation is in a new pure-helpers module `cli/backends.py` (parse / serialize / add_or_replace / remove / update_env_file). The Typer commands in `cli/manage.py` are thin shells on top — the logic is unit-tested directly without spinning up Typer or the network. The token is unwrapped from SecretStr exactly once at the serialization boundary (`to_dict`) and never logged. New tests (16): full coverage of the helpers — round-trip serialize/parse, duplicate-name rejection, replace-in-place order preservation, remove on unknown name, redaction, atomic env-file rewrite (insert / replace / idempotent re-apply / create-when-missing). ruff (incl. the per-file ignore add for tests' S105/S106 — placeholder "tok123"-style strings are inputs, not credentials) + mypy --strict (68 source files) clean. pytest: 76 passed + 39 skipped (the 16 new tests + no regressions on the existing 60).
neuronetz-gateway
A secure, multi-tenant API gateway in front of an Ollama instance. It is the hot path of the Neuronetz API: every request to the models flows through here, authenticated, rate-limited, budgeted, and audited.
The Ollama backend is never reachable from the public internet. It is bound to an internal Docker network with no published ports. All access is via this gateway, behind TLS terminated by Caddy.
Status: v0.1.0 — in development. See
scope-docs/SPEC.mdfor the full specification andscope-docs/AGENT_PROMPT.mdfor the phased build plan.SPEC.mdis the source of truth.
What it does
- Auth — API keys as Bearer tokens, stored as Argon2id hashes, verified in constant time.
- Multi-tenant — tenants own keys; limits and budgets inherit tenant → key.
- Rate limiting — per-key and per-tenant RPM / TPM / concurrent connections.
- Budgets — daily / monthly / total token budgets, enforced fail-closed.
- Dual API surface — native Ollama (
/api/*) and OpenAI-compatible (/v1/*), both streaming. - Hard-blocked mutations —
/api/pull,/api/push,/api/create,/api/copy,/api/delete,/api/blobs/*always return 403. Not configurable. - Audit log — always-on request metadata; opt-in, TTL'd prompt logging per key.
Administration (dashboards, tenant self-service) lives in a separate service,
neuronetz-console; it is not part of this repository.
Architecture
Internet ──TLS──> Caddy ──HTTP──> gateway ──┬──> Postgres (keys, budgets, audit)
├──> Redis (key cache, rate limits)
└──> Ollama (internal network only)
Quickstart (dev)
Requires Docker + Docker Compose. The dev stack runs Postgres, Redis, and the gateway —
no Caddy and no Ollama (so /readyz reports 503 until a real Ollama backend is wired
in; that is expected).
git clone <repo> neuronetz-gateway && cd neuronetz-gateway
cp .env.example .env # adjust if you like; defaults work for local dev
docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up --build
The gateway runs alembic upgrade head on startup, then serves on http://localhost:8080.
curl -i http://localhost:8080/healthz # -> 200 {"status":"ok"}
curl -i http://localhost:8080/readyz # -> 503 (no Ollama backend in the dev stack)
Production
docker-compose.yml brings up the full stack — Caddy (TLS via Let's Encrypt for
api.neuronetz.ai), the gateway, Postgres, Redis, and Ollama. The ollama service has
no ports: mapping and is reachable only on the internal Docker network. See
docs/DEPLOYMENT.md (added in a later phase) and
ops/caddy/Caddyfile.example.
Managing tenants and keys
Use the bootstrap CLI (Typer). Keys have the form nz_<prefix><secret>; the full key is
printed exactly once at creation and only its Argon2id hash is stored.
neuronetz-gateway create-tenant --name acme
neuronetz-gateway create-key --tenant acme --name prod-server-1
neuronetz-gateway list-keys --tenant acme
neuronetz-gateway revoke-key --prefix nz_abc12345
