Adds AWS Lightsail to the existing server-provider web and API flows. Users can connect an IAM access key, browse live regions and compatible Linux/IPv4 plans, and provision a supported Ubuntu image with a per-server RSA SSH key. Readiness checks record public/private addresses and configure the Lightsail firewall for Vito's server firewall controls.

Remote resource names are saved before creation requests so cleanup can address resources after a lost AWS response. Provider deletion respects the existing opt-in choice, tolerates already removed resources, and preserves the server record and local SSH keys when cleanup fails. Includes setup/IAM documentation and updated OpenAPI provider and credential fields.

Validation:

  • 30 Lightsail tests passed on PHP 8.4; 74 tests passed with the server regression suite on PHP 8.5/PCOV.
  • 100% coverage of changed executable application lines (149/149).
  • PHPStan passed for changed application files; four targeted architecture checks passed.
  • PHP/Laravel and security reviews passed across all eight changed files after verified fixes.
  • Full architecture suite is blocked locally by the existing HandshakeResponse::withHeader() signature incompatibility with the installed Guzzle response class.
  • Local tests used a temporary macOS ssh-keygen compatibility wrapper for the existing Ed25519 test fixtures. AWS calls were mocked; live provisioning remains unverified.

Manual verification: connect AWS Lightsail under Server Providers, create an Ubuntu server with the firewall service, verify installation/SSH access, and delete it with Delete from provider selected. Required IAM permissions are documented in docs/4.x/settings/server-providers.md. Instances use assigned public IPv4 addresses; automatic static IP allocation and provider private-network discovery are not included.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added AWS Lightsail as a supported server provider, including account connection, region and plan selection, Ubuntu server provisioning, status monitoring, firewall configuration and server removal.
    • Added Lightsail support to server creation APIs and provider configuration, with updated credential fields for supported providers.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Provider deletion is now attempted before SSH key files are removed.
  • Documentation
    • Added Lightsail setup requirements, permissions, provisioning, firewall and deletion guidance.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds AWS Lightsail as a server provider. The change covers provider registration, API schemas, credential handling, region and plan discovery, Ubuntu instance provisioning, firewall setup, deletion, documentation, and feature tests.

Changes

AWS Lightsail provider

Layer / File(s) Summary
Provider registration and API contracts
app/Providers/ServerProviderServiceProvider.php, public/api-docs/openapi/*.yaml, docs/4.x/settings/server-providers.md, tests/Feature/LightsailProviderTest.php
Registers Lightsail with access key and secret fields and the default user ubuntu. The OpenAPI schemas add Lightsail and define provider-specific top-level credentials. Documentation and tests cover setup, registration, and credential handling.
Connection, catalogue, and provisioning
app/ServerProviders/Lightsail.php, tests/Feature/LightsailProviderTest.php
Validates credentials and regions, retrieves paginated catalogue data, and creates Ubuntu instances with generated SSH keys. Tests cover catalogue retrieval, provisioning, validation, and provisioning failures.
Readiness, firewall, and deletion lifecycle
app/ServerProviders/Lightsail.php, app/Models/Server.php, tests/Feature/LightsailProviderTest.php, docs/4.x/settings/server-providers.md
Checks instance readiness, saves instance addresses, configures firewall rules, and handles provider deletion before local SSH key removal. Tests and documentation cover readiness, firewall configuration, and deletion outcomes.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to c619e

The provider request shape matches the API handlers, and Lightsail does not open all ports until UFW is installed. No outstanding merge risk was found in the reviewed changes.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c619e

Lightsail provisioning uses the existing server authorization flow, but the new integration makes the host firewall the sole ingress restriction after installation. Repeating creation for the same server could also lose track of earlier cloud resources. These warrant design review, although neither establishes an immediate authorization bypass.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: After successful UFW installation, Lightsail permits every port and protocol from the public internet. The recorded flag does not verify continued host-firewall enforcement or reconcile later cloud-policy drift, so loss of that host control could expose services the application intends to restrict.
  • Medium · reliability · inferred: Re-entering create for the same persisted server replaces its recorded AWS names and local SSH key. If an earlier remote request succeeded but its response was lost, that re-entry can leave the earlier resource without a durable cleanup reference. No automatic same-record retry was established in the normal caller.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — Exposure is scoped to instances created through a selected Lightsail provider, but each affected instance receives public IPv4 ingress; after UFW installation, the cloud rule independently permits all inbound ports and protocols.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — Once the broad cloud rule is installed, a later disabled or ineffective host firewall would allow internet-origin traffic to reach services otherwise protected by UFW. The reviewed flows do not establish that such a host-firewall failure has occurred.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The normal creation caller checks access to the chosen provider, while Lightsail obtains its AWS credentials from that bound provider record. The handler does not take an arbitrary AWS resource name from the creation request.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — The normal failure path attempts provider deletion, which counters a single lost creation response. It does not make repeated creation on the same retained record idempotent, and the cloud-firewall flag does not establish continuing agreement with host or provider state.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Define and reconcile the intended Lightsail-versus-UFW ingress policy, including what happens when host enforcement later stops; preserve or reconcile existing AWS resource identities before any same-record creation retry.

Comment thread app/ServerProviders/Lightsail.php Outdated
ImportKeyPair expects the OpenSSH public key as-is, so stop base64-encoding it. Suffix the key pair name with -key so it differs from the instance name, and include the AWS error code in provider error messages.
