Metacircular Platform Status

Last updated: 2026-03-28

Platform Overview

One node operational (rift), running core infrastructure services as containers fronted by MC-Proxy. MCIAS runs separately (not on rift). Bootstrap phases 04 complete (MCIAS, Metacrypt, MC-Proxy, MCR all operational). MCP is deployed and managing all platform containers. MCNS is deployed on rift, serving authoritative DNS. Platform evolution Phases AD complete (automated port assignment, route registration, TLS cert provisioning, and DNS registration). Multi-node deployment is being planned (Phase E).

Service Details

MCIAS — Identity and Access Service

  • Version: v1.9.0 (client library: clients/go/v0.2.0)
  • Phase: Maintenance. Phases 0-14 complete. Feature-complete with active refinement.
  • Deployment: Running in production. All other services authenticate against it.
  • Recent work: WebAuthn/FIDO2 passkeys, TOTP 2FA, service-context login policies, Nix flake for CLI tools.
  • Artifacts: systemd units (service + backup timer), install script, Dockerfile, example configs.

Metacrypt — Cryptographic Service Engine

  • Version: v1.3.1.
  • Phase: Production. All four engine types implemented (CA, SSH CA, transit, user-to-user). Active work on integration test coverage.
  • Deployment: Running on rift as a container, fronted by MC-Proxy on ports 443 (web, L7), 8443 (API, L4), and 9443 (gRPC, L4).
  • Recent work: ACME integration tests (60+ tests), mcdsl migration, security audit fixes.
  • Artifacts: systemd units (service + web + backup timer), Docker Compose (standard + rift), install script, example configs.

MC-Proxy — TLS Proxy and Router

  • Version: v1.2.1.
  • Phase: Maintenance. Stable and actively routing traffic on rift.
  • Deployment: Running on rift. Fronts Metacrypt, MCR, and sgard on ports 443, 8443, and 9443. Prometheus metrics on 127.0.0.1:9091. Routes persisted in SQLite and managed via gRPC API.
  • Recent work: Route persistence (SQLite), idempotent AddRoute (upsert), golangci-lint v2 compliance, module path migration to mc/ org.
  • Artifacts: systemd units (service + backup timer), Docker Compose (standard + rift), install and backup scripts, rift config.

MCR — Container Registry

  • Version: v1.2.1. All implementation phases complete.
  • Phase: Production. Deployed on rift, serving container images.
  • Deployment: Running on rift as two containers (mcr API + mcr-web), fronted by MC-Proxy on ports 443 (web, L7), 8443 (API, L4), and 9443 (gRPC, L4). Metacrypt is already pulling images from MCR.
  • Recent work: Manifest push bug fix (LastInsertId unreliable after upsert), structured slog error logging in OCI handlers, first production deploy, Dockerfile fixes, server wiring, OCI route mounting.
  • Artifacts: systemd units (service + web + backup timer), Dockerfiles (API + web), Docker Compose (rift), install script, rift config.

MCAT — Login Policy Tester

  • Version: v1.1.1.
  • Phase: Complete. Diagnostic tool, not core infrastructure.
  • Deployment: Available for ad-hoc use. Lightweight tool for testing MCIAS login policy rules.
  • Recent work: Migrated to mcdsl for auth, config, CSRF, and web.
  • Artifacts: systemd unit, install script, example config.

MCDSL — Standard Library

  • Version: v1.4.0.
  • Phase: Stable. All 9 packages implemented and tested. Being adopted across the platform.
  • Deployment: N/A (Go library, imported by other services).
  • Packages: auth, db, config, httpserver, grpcserver, csrf, web, health, archive.
  • Adoption: All services except mcias on v1.4.0. mcias pending.

MCNS — Networking Service

  • Version: v1.1.1.
  • Phase: Production. Custom Go DNS server replacing CoreDNS precursor.
  • Deployment: Running on rift as a container managed by MCP. Serves two authoritative zones plus upstream forwarding. REST + gRPC APIs with MCIAS auth and name-scoped system account authorization.
  • Recent work: v1.0.0 implementation (custom Go DNS server), engineering review, deployed to rift replacing CoreDNS.
  • Artifacts: Dockerfile, Docker Compose (rift), MCP service definition, systemd units, install script, example config.

MCDoc — Documentation Server

  • Version: v0.1.0.
  • Phase: Production. Fetches and renders markdown documentation from Gitea.
  • Deployment: Running on rift as a container, fronted by MC-Proxy on port 443 (L7).
  • Recent work: Initial implementation, Gitea content fetching, goldmark rendering with syntax highlighting, webhook-driven refresh.
  • Artifacts: Dockerfile, MCP service definition.

MCP — Control Plane

  • Version: v0.7.6.
  • Phase: Production. Phases AD complete. Deployed to rift, managing all platform containers.
  • Deployment: Running on rift. Agent as systemd service under mcp user with rootless podman. Manages metacrypt, mc-proxy, mcr, mcns, and mcdoc containers.
  • Architecture: Two components — mcp CLI (thin client on vade) and mcp-agent (per-node daemon with SQLite registry, podman management, monitoring with drift/flap detection, route registration with mc-proxy, automated TLS cert provisioning for L7 routes via Metacrypt CA, automated DNS registration in MCNS). gRPC-only (no REST). 15 RPCs, 17+ CLI commands.
  • Recent work: Phase C (automated TLS cert provisioning), Phase D (automated DNS registration via MCNS), undeploy command, logs command, edit command, auto-login to MCR, system account auth model, module path migration.
  • Artifacts: systemd service (NixOS), TLS cert from Metacrypt, service definition files, design docs.
