wmantly 7e679928ce Add Documentation link + screenshots to README and docs site
theta-env's GitHub Pages site (docs/, Jekyll) was already configured and
live at https://theta42.github.io/theta-env/ but nothing in the README
linked to it, unlike proxy and sso-manager-node's READMEs -- easy to miss
entirely. Add the same top-of-README Documentation link, plus screenshots
of the composed stack (SSO dashboard + proxy host list from one
./setup.sh run). Also fixes a stale docs/index.md quickstart snippet that
said "set CFG_BASE_DN to your domain" -- CFG_DOMAIN is the actual
required variable (CFG_BASE_DN is an advanced override); everywhere else
in the docs already says CFG_DOMAIN correctly.

# theta-env
A single repo that runs the whole theta42 identity + access stack —
[SSO Manager](https://github.com/theta42/sso-manager-node) (OIDC provider + LDAP)
and the [theta42/proxy](https://github.com/theta42/proxy) (OIDC-protected reverse
proxy) — together, with **one command**, for home labs and small businesses.
It exists for people whose needs are met by these two projects and who want to
run them "very simply." Each project still works **standalone**; this repo just
wires them together and automates the first-run glue.
## Screenshots
The SSO Manager and the proxy it fronts, both stood up by one `./setup.sh` run:
| SSO Manager Dashboard | Proxy Hosts |
| --- | --- |

## Quick start
```bash
git clone --recursive https://github.com/theta42/theta-env.git
cd theta-env
cp setup.env.example setup.env # then edit setup.env: set CFG_DOMAIN to your domain
./setup.sh # first run: generates ./config/ from setup.env, builds + bootstraps + starts
```
You need **Docker** + **Docker Compose**. `./setup.sh` is idempotent — re-run any
time to converge the stack to `./config/`.
See the [Quickstart Guide](quickstart.html) for a walkthrough of `./config/` and
what `setup.sh` does, [Architecture](architecture.html) for how the pieces fit
together, and [Standalone](standalone.html) for running each project on its own.

## What you get
- **SSO Manager** at `https://<SSO_HOST>` — log in as your first admin to manage
users, groups, and OAuth clients. Fronted by the proxy under TLS.
- **Proxy** at `https://<PROXY_HOST>` — add the Host records you want to protect
with OIDC login.
- **LDAPS** at `ldaps://<host>:636` — legacy apps can bind directly (admin or
the read-only `cn=ldapclient` service account the bootstrap creates).
- **API tokens** — both apps let any logged-in user mint self-service personal
access tokens (`Authorization: Bearer sso_…` / `prx_…`) to drive the management
API from scripts/CI without a browser session. A token authenticates as its
creator (carrying their permissions); mint/rotate/revoke under **API Tokens**
in each UI. See each submodule's DEPLOYMENT for the details.

## The `./config/` values you must set
All config and secrets live in `./config/sso-secrets.js` +
`./config/proxy-secrets.js` (gitignored), generated by the first `./setup.sh`.
There is **no `.env`**. Set at least these in `./config/sso-secrets.js`:
| Key (in `sso-secrets.js`) | What it is |
|-----|------------|
| `stack.ldapBaseDn` | Directory base, e.g. `dc=lab,dc=local`. |
| `ldap.bindPassword` | LDAP root password (generated). **Back it up.** |
| `oauth.jwtSecret` | Signs the SSO's tokens (generated). **Back it up.** |
| `stack.ssoHost` | Public hostname the proxy serves the SSO UI at. |
| `stack.proxyHost` | Public hostname the proxy serves its own mgmt UI at. |
| `bootstrap.adminUid` / `bootstrap.adminPass` | Your first admin login. |
See `config.example/` for the full annotated shape (SMTP, LDAP cert CN, proxy
OIDC/LDAP/auth, …).

The proxy is **both** an OIDC client of the SSO (for login) **and** a direct LDAP
client (for user lookups). See [Architecture](architecture.html) for the full
diagram + the first-run bootstrap flow.
