Fix accessing cache, unit and token for vllm

[bogdando]

Remove world-read access from the model cache, service unit dir and the vllm model serving systemd service.

Put the hugging face token into an env file in the user home dir, and use --env-file arg for podman to pick it.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Security
  • Tightened permissions for model-serving directories and system service resources.
  • Added restricted access controls for Hugging Face authentication credentials.
  • Updated the vLLM service to load authentication securely from a protected environment file instead of exposing the token in the startup command.
  • The model-serving service now automatically stops when its service configuration or authentication credentials change.

Walkthrough

The deployment restricts model and systemd resource permissions, creates a protected Hugging Face token file, and configures vLLM to load the token from that file. The service stops when the template or token file changes.

Changes

Secure vLLM token delivery

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Token file and service wiring gpu-validation/tasks/model_download_and_serve.yaml, gpu-validation/templates/vllm-serve.service.j2	Model cache, user systemd, generated service, and token files use restricted permissions. The vLLM service loads the token from /h/huggingface-token.env. The service stops when the template or token file changes.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to c7e17

The change restricts access to vLLM resources and delivers the Hugging Face token through a protected environment file. Token updates stop the service so it can restart with updated credentials, with no remaining merge-blocking risk identified.

owning service account can read it; keep the surrounding model download and
serve configuration unchanged.
- Line 34: Update the task containing the HUGGING_FACE_HUB_TOKEN content
assignment to set no_log: true and diff: false, suppressing token-bearing output
and generated-file content in Ansible diffs.
- Line 34: Remove the ansible.builtin.quote filter from the
HUGGING_FACE_HUB_TOKEN value in the model download environment configuration,
preserving the token exactly as provided without added quote characters.

gpu_validation_model_download_hf_token stop the existing service before it is
