Claude b9180bdbeb feat(server): support dual-homed voice hosts and user-managed livekit.yaml
Servers reachable via both a LAN IP and a public IP could only serve voice
on one of them: config.yaml accepts a single voice.node_ip and OwnCord
regenerates data/livekit.yaml on every start, discarding manual edits.
LiveKit has no multi-IP list, but it does support advertising internal host
candidates alongside the external mapping.

- New voice.advertise_internal_ip (OWNCORD_VOICE_ADVERTISE_INTERNAL_IP):
  emits rtc.advertise_internal_ip: true so LAN clients get a reachable
  candidate while remote clients keep using node_ip.
- livekit.yaml escape hatch: if the file exists without the auto-generated
  marker header, OwnCord leaves it untouched, giving operators access to
  every LiveKit option (ips.includes, interfaces, stun_servers, ...). The
  generated header documents how to take ownership.

Closes #111

# Server Configuration Reference
Complete reference for all OwnCord server configuration options.
## Overview
OwnCord server reads configuration from `config.yaml` in the working directory. On first run, if the file does not exist, a default `config.yaml` is created automatically.
Configuration is loaded in three layers (later layers override earlier ones):
1. **Built-in defaults** (compiled into the binary)
2. **YAML file** (`config.yaml`)
3. **Environment variables** (prefix: `OWNCORD_`)
## Config Key Reference
### Server (`server`)
| Key | Type | Default | Description |
|-----|------|---------|-------------|
| `server.port` | int | `8443` | HTTP(S) listen port |
| `server.name` | string | `"OwnCord Server"` | Server display name (shown in `/api/v1/info` and admin panel) |
| `server.data_dir` | string | `"data"` | Directory for database, certs, uploads, backups |
| `server.allowed_origins` | string[] | `[]` | WebSocket CORS allowed origins; empty list DENIES all cross-origin (set to `["*"]` to allow any origin) |
| `server.trusted_proxies` | string[] | `[]` | CIDRs of trusted reverse proxies (for X-Forwarded-For) |
| `server.admin_allowed_cidrs` | string[] | private networks | CIDRs allowed to access `/admin` routes. Default: `127.0.0.0/8`, `::1/128`, `10.0.0.0/8`, `172.16.0.0/12`, `192.168.0.0/16`, `fc00::/7` |
### TLS (`tls`)
| Key | Type | Default | Description |
|-----|------|---------|-------------|
| `tls.mode` | string | `"self_signed"` | TLS mode: `self_signed`, `acme`, `manual`, `off` |
| `tls.cert_file` | string | `"data/cert.pem"` | Path to TLS certificate (used by `manual` and `self_signed`) |
| `tls.key_file` | string | `"data/key.pem"` | Path to TLS private key |
| `tls.domain` | string | `""` | Domain for ACME/Let's Encrypt (required when `mode: acme`) |
| `tls.acme_cache_dir` | string | `"data/acme_certs"` | Directory for cached Let's Encrypt certificates |
### Database (`database`)
| Key | Type | Default | Description |
|-----|------|---------|-------------|
| `database.path` | string | `"data/chatserver.db"` | Path to SQLite database file |
### Uploads (`upload`)
| Key | Type | Default | Description |
|-----|------|---------|-------------|
| `upload.max_size_mb` | int | `100` | Maximum file upload size in megabytes |
| `upload.storage_dir` | string | `"data/uploads"` | Directory where uploaded files are stored |
### Voice / LiveKit (`voice`)
| Key | Type | Default | Description |
|-----|------|---------|-------------|
| `voice.livekit_api_key` | string | *(random per run)* | LiveKit API key. Set a stable value for persistent voice tokens. |
| `voice.livekit_api_secret` | string | *(random per run)* | LiveKit API secret (min 32 chars). Set a stable value for persistent tokens. |
| `voice.livekit_url` | string | `"ws://localhost:7880"` | LiveKit server WebSocket URL |
| `voice.livekit_binary` | string | `""` | Path to `livekit-server` binary; empty = don't auto-start |
| `voice.node_ip` | string | `""` | Public IP for WebRTC ICE candidates; empty = auto-detect. Required for remote users behind NAT. |
| `voice.advertise_internal_ip` | bool | `false` | Also advertise internal (LAN) IPs as ICE candidates. Enable when the server is reachable via both a LAN IP and a public IP so local-network clients can connect to voice. |
| `voice.quality` | string | `"medium"` | Voice quality preset: `low`, `medium`, `high` |
> **Warning:** If `livekit_api_key` or `livekit_api_secret` are left empty, random credentials are generated on each startup. This means voice tokens break on restart. Always set stable credentials in production. See [LiveKit Setup](livekit-setup.md) for details.
#### Server with both a LAN and a public IP
If your server is dual-homed (e.g. `192.168.1.10` on the LAN and `47.x.x.x` public), set `voice.node_ip` to the public IP **and** `voice.advertise_internal_ip: true`. LiveKit then advertises the LAN address in addition to the public one, so clients on the local network connect directly while remote clients use the public IP.
For LiveKit options OwnCord does not model, you can take ownership of the auto-started server's config: edit `data/livekit.yaml` and delete the header line containing the auto-generated marker — OwnCord will stop regenerating the file on startup (your `keys:` entry must still match `voice.livekit_api_key` / `voice.livekit_api_secret`).
### GitHub / Updates (`github`)
| Key | Type | Default | Description |
|-----|------|---------|-------------|
| `github.token` | string | `""` | Optional GitHub API token for higher rate limits on update checks (5000 req/hr vs 60) |
| `github.owner` | string | `"J3vb"` | Owner of the GitHub repository server and client updates are fetched from |
| `github.repo` | string | `"OwnCord-releases"` | Public releases repository. Must stay publicly readable — both the server self-update and the client auto-update chain fetch release assets from it |
### Event Persistence (`event_persistence`)
Controls the tiered event log used for WebSocket reconnection replay. When enabled, missed events are stored in the database so clients that reconnect after the in-memory ring buffer window (1 000 events) can still replay missed events from the DB tier.
| Key | Type | Default | Description |
|-----|------|---------|-------------|
| `event_persistence.enabled` | bool | `true` | Enable cold-storage event persistence. When `false`, only the in-memory ring buffer is used (lower durability). |
| `event_persistence.retention_hours` | int | `24` | How long persisted events are kept before the pruner deletes them |
| `event_persistence.batch_size` | int | `50` | Maximum events per database flush |
| `event_persistence.batch_flush_ms` | int | `100` | Maximum delay between flushes (milliseconds) |
| `event_persistence.pruner_interval_minutes` | int | `60` | How often the pruner goroutine wakes up to delete expired events |
### Telemetry / OpenTelemetry (`telemetry`)
Controls the OpenTelemetry SDK. Requires building with `-tags otel` (see [Contributing](contributing.md)). When disabled, the server uses no-op tracer/meter providers; the legacy JSON `/api/v1/metrics` endpoint is always available regardless of this setting.
| Key | Type | Default | Description |
|-----|------|---------|-------------|
| `telemetry.enabled` | bool | `false` | Enable the OTel SDK |
| `telemetry.exporter` | string | `"none"` | Exporter backend: `none`, `prometheus`, `otlp` |
| `telemetry.otlp_endpoint` | string | `""` | gRPC endpoint for the OTLP exporter (e.g. `localhost:4317`). Only used when `exporter: otlp`. |
| `telemetry.service_name` | string | `"owncord-server"` | OTel `service.name` resource attribute |
> **Local development:** Run `make otel-up` (from `Server/`) to start Jaeger + Prometheus via Docker.
> Jaeger UI: `http://localhost:16686` — Prometheus UI: `http://localhost:9090`
### Plugins (`plugins`)
Controls the Wazero WASM plugin runtime. Requires building with `-tags wazero`. When disabled, no plugins are loaded and the plugin admin endpoints return `501 Not Implemented`.
| Key | Type | Default | Description |
|-----|------|---------|-------------|
| `plugins.enabled` | bool | `false` | Enable plugin loading at startup |
| `plugins.directory` | string | `"data/plugins"` | Directory scanned for plugin packages on startup |
| `plugins.max_memory_mb` | int | `64` | Maximum WASM linear memory per plugin (megabytes) |
| `plugins.cpu_budget_ms` | int | `100` | Maximum CPU time per plugin invocation (milliseconds) |
| `plugins.http_allowlist` | string[] | `[]` | Host suffixes plugins may reach via the `host_http` capability (e.g. `["api.steampowered.com"]`). Empty = no outbound HTTP. |
