Closes #382 with option A, locked by the maintainer: no default in either binary, the value is required, .env.example carries a visible http://localhost:8003, and compose hands the one value to both services with ${RESOLVER_BASE_URL:?}.

What running it showed

#382 was about the node's default. Running the 0.14.0 release-candidate images end to end, configured exactly as DEMO-RUNBOOK.md says, found the same default a second time, in the resolver, and worse wired:

  • the node signed http://localhost:8003/01/09590000000045/10/VBX-EV-2026-0421/21/… into the carrier — correct;
  • the resolver answered that exact URL with 307 → https://id.odal-node.io/dpp/…, a host that does not resolve; the AAS response's canonical Link named it too.

docker-compose.yml gives the resolver an explicit environment: block and no env_file, and dpp-resolver/src/main.rs defaulted to the dead host, so the operator's value never reached the resolver. Every scanned QR code went nowhere while the node's own configuration looked right. The same image with the variable passed redirects to http://localhost:8003/dpp/… — verified live before writing this.

Present since at least v0.13.0. It ships inside the release because the compose file is include_str!'d into the odal CLI, and a tag moves latest.

The change

before after
node defaulted to https://id.odal-node.io required
resolver own copy of the same default required, read in Config::from_env
the rule two unwrap_or_elses one reader, dpp_common::config::resolver_base_url
compose node via env_file; resolver never both, ${RESOLVER_BASE_URL:?}odal up refuses before anything starts
.env.example the dead host, uncommented http://localhost:8003, marked required
production preflight not checked required, and any value naming this machine is refused — localhost, *.localhost, loopback IPv4/IPv6, however spelled

The reader refuses anything that is not an absolute http/https URL with a host, and anything carrying credentials, a query or a fragment — each would be concatenated into every carrier. It returns the value without a trailing /; the GTIN redirect used it as-is while the other two paths trimmed it. A refusal echoes the value only with its credentials, query and fragment removed.

Review round 1 (40c7ff4) took all four CodeRabbit findings: the preflight compared a literal, so http://localhost:8003/ passed and the node then trimmed it into the refused value — it now parses the host; refusals echoed the raw value, credentials included; a SAFETY note covers the tests' env mutation; and the runbook no longer says two of three settings fail silently. Both new tests were mutation-checked — each goes red with its fix removed.

Review round 2 (0b2bcf6) took both findings on 40c7ff4:

  • The preflight read .env only, and compose does not. A variable exported in the invoking shell overrides .env for interpolation, and odal up hands compose its own environment — so a stale RESOLVER_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8003 export passed a file holding a real origin, and was what got signed. The same held for every key the preflight checks (a shell ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin passed too). The checks now live in prod_env_problems(file, shell), judged on the value compose will use, and a refusal says when the value came from the shell. shell is a parameter, so the tests never mutate the process environment — which is not hermetic anyway, since just loads the developer's own .env into every recipe.
  • [::ffff:127.0.0.1] passed, because Ipv6Addr::is_loopback is ::1 only; mapped addresses are now unwrapped, and unspecified addresses (0.0.0.0, ::) are refused as naming this machine too.

a_shell_export_is_judged_over_the_env_file is mutation-checked: with the shell ignored it goes red. just check green, 1325/1325.

localhost:8003 without a scheme parses as a URL whose scheme is localhost, so the scheme check is what catches the most likely typo — pinned by a test.

Also: scripts/install.sh writes the value; OPERATOR-SETUP.md, DEMO-RUNBOOK.md §1, CLAUDE.md and two OpenAPI descriptions stop claiming a default (bundle regenerated — two lines each).

Breaking

A deployment that never set RESOLVER_BASE_URL no longer starts. That is the point: what it was starting with was broken, and a wrong value is signed into labels that cannot be recalled. Changelog entry is under 0.14.0 ### Breaking, since this lands before the tag.

Not here

  • Any deployment tooling that renders a node's .env must now set this value; a stack rendered without it will refuse to start, by design.
  • scripts/install.sh is stale in other ways — it sets no DATABASE_APP_PASS/DATABASE_POSTGRES_PASS, which compose already requires — so it fails before reaching this. Only the one line this change owes it is added.
  • VAULT_BASE_URL in the resolver still defaults to http://vault:8001. Different failure (loud, not signed into anything), left alone.

Verified

  • just check green — 1324/1324 unit tests, including the new ones.
  • New tests: the shared reader refuses absent/blank (by name), non-http, credentials, query, fragment, never echoes a secret, and trims the slash; the node refuses to boot without it; the CLI preflight refuses seven spellings of this machine and accepts three that are not.
  • Live, on the release-candidate images with this compose file: the signed GS1 carrier now redirects to http://localhost:8003/dpp/… and the AAS Link names it; without the variable, docker compose config refuses with RESOLVER_BASE_URL must be set in .env.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Breaking Changes

    • RESOLVER_BASE_URL is now required for both the node and resolver; services won’t start if it’s missing or blank. The previous built-in resolver URL is no longer used.
    • Production setup now rejects local resolver addresses and common placeholder values.
  • Documentation

    • Setup guidance explains that the resolver URL is embedded in passport QR codes when published and should point to the address where the resolver will be served. The example localhost address is suitable only for laptop use.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

RESOLVER_BASE_URL is now required by the node and resolver and validated through shared configuration. Compose and production preflight enforce configuration requirements. Setup guidance and API documentation describe the setting and its use in passport carriers.

Changes

Required resolver URL

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared URL validation and service configuration
crates/dpp-common/src/config.rs, crates/dpp-node/src/config.rs, crates/dpp-resolver/src/config.rs, crates/dpp-resolver/src/main.rs
Shared configuration reads and validates the URL. The node and resolver use the shared helper, and the resolver passes the configured value into AppState. Tests cover validation, missing values, secret redaction, and URL normalization.
Compose and production checks
docker/docker-compose.yml, cli/src/core/infra.rs, cli/src/console/setup.rs
Compose requires the variable for both services. Production preflight checks required values and rejects local resolver hosts, using shell-exported values ahead of .env values. Setup output lists the setting.
Environment and API guidance
.env.example, scripts/install.sh, docs/guides/*, api/components/schemas/passport/PassportResponse.yaml, api/paths/resolver/dpp_{dppId}.yaml, CHANGELOG.md, CLAUDE.md
Updates environment examples, setup guidance, API descriptions, and changelog notes to describe the required resolver URL and its use in passport carriers and resolver redirects.
