Noona-Warden

Noona-Warden is the master service manager of The Noona Project. It hooks into the Docker socket to monitor and control other services (like noona-vault and noona-portal), and manages secure internal authentication via daily-rotated JWT tokens.

---

Features

• Secure internal JWT token generation
• Daily secret rotation using date + salt
• Publishes secrets to Redis for verification
• Controls Docker containers via dockerode
• Health checks and auto-start for other Noona services
• Can be expanded with update-checking, image pulling, and more

Token Architecture

Warden generates and signs JWT tokens each day. These tokens are used internally for inter-service authentication.

See jwt-architecture.md for more details.
