R-ENV-02 promises dev and prod differ ONLY by scoped cluster-vars overrides. In fact
dev LAN addresses were hardcoded into base manifests, so clusters/prod would have come
up ANNOUNCING DEV ADDRESSES (192.168.1.x) on the prod LAN (192.168.2.x).
New cluster-vars knobs (base default = dev literal, per the file's existing convention):
K3S_API_HOST platform/cilium/helmrelease.yaml (+ the values.yaml mirror)
CILIUM_LB_POOL_START platform-config/cilium/l2-ip-pool.yaml
CILIUM_LB_POOL_STOP "
UNIFI_L4_VIP apps/vms/unifi/50-service-l4.yaml
CRAFTY_L4_VIP platform/crafty/service-l4.yaml
S3_BACKUP_ENDPOINT platform/keycloak/postgres-cluster.yaml, apps/wave-0/{nextcloud,
semaphore}-db.yaml, and platform/velero/helmrelease.yaml
Also fixes GATEWAY_VIP's base default, which was still the RETIRED libvirt address
10.73.0.240, and adds the GATEWAY_VIP patch that clusters/prod was missing entirely.
clusters/base/apps-vms.yaml gains postBuild.substituteFrom (it was the one consuming
Kustomization without it, so a ${TOKEN} there would have shipped as a literal string).
The envsubst contract is documented there: ${VAR} substitutes and escapes as $${VAR};
$VAR and $(cmd) are left alone; ${ARR[0]} hard-errors. The three UOS_URL expansions in
the unifi cloud-init are escaped accordingly.
PROD ADDRESS PLAN (operator, 2026-08-31):
nodes .10/.11/.12 · control-plane VIP .9 (Ansible-side) · GATEWAY_VIP .20
Cilium LB pool .20-.30
CONTAINMENT INVARIANT, now documented at the pool and in the prod overlay: GATEWAY_VIP
MUST equal CILIUM_LB_POOL_START. The shared Gateway pins no address, so Cilium LB-IPAM
gives it the first free address of a matching pool block. An initial prod proposal put
.20 outside a .21-.30 pool; the Gateway would have come up on .21 while split-horizon
coredns-custom kept answering *.home.keithjackson.dev with .20 — an address nothing
announces — blackholing in-cluster OIDC hairpin traffic while reporting healthy. The
pool was widened to .20-.30. The control-plane VIP (.9) stays outside the pool so
kube-vip and LB-IPAM can never contend.
Values prod still cannot know stay INVALID `TBD-PROD-*` placeholders on purpose: base
defaults are dev values, so an omitted patch means prod silently inherits a dev address
— far worse than a loud failed apply.
DEV IS BYTE-IDENTICAL. Verified by kustomize build over 13 paths before/after, then
flux envsubst with the dev cluster-vars values applied to both sides: zero drift. The
only deltas are the intended additive keys in the overlay ConfigMap itself. No
unresolved ${TOKEN} survives. render-golden green (10 goldens); yamllint clean.
Serves: R-ENV-02. Task: T-7.1 (prerequisite). Gate: MERGE GATE: PASS.

Add Crafty Controller 4 (registry.gitlab.com/crafty-controller/crafty-4:4.10.8)
as a platform component: a web panel that runs Java + Bedrock Minecraft servers as
subprocesses in one pod + a 20Gi Longhorn PVC (mounted 5x by subPath).
Auth = Option B (per-app oauth2-proxy reverse-proxy sidecar), since Cilium 1.16.5
cannot do ext_authz on the shared Gateway:
- oauth2-proxy v7.8.1 sidecar (:4180) reverse-proxies to Crafty's self-signed HTTPS
UI (127.0.0.1:8443), gated to Keycloak homelab realm group platform-admins.
- Confidential `crafty` client provisioned live via kcadm + captured in the realm
import; client secret + cookie secret via SOPS/age (mirrored in realm-clients).
- Web UI: HTTPRoute crafty.home.keithjackson.dev -> Service :80 -> sidecar :4180.
- Game ports: Cilium L2 LoadBalancer on VIP 192.168.1.55 (next free after .53/.54),
starter set TCP 25565-25567 (Java) + UDP 19132-19134 (Bedrock), NOT auth-gated.
- fsGroup:0 / runAsGroup:0 / runAsUser:1000 for the image's crafty:root identity on
the root:root Longhorn PVC (the seerr fsGroup lesson).
- Own non-gating Flux tier clusters/base/crafty.yaml (dependsOn platform-config,
wait:false) + sops-decryption patch in clusters/dev — a leaf UI must never gate
the platform.
- Explicit default-deny NetworkPolicy + CiliumNetworkPolicies (platform namespace,
not app-namespace, so Kyverno does not auto-generate the baseline).
make -C ci gate green; kustomize build of platform/crafty, clusters/base,
clusters/dev clean.

The 7 falsely-firing platform alerts (KeycloakDown, KeycloakDatabaseDown,
KubeAPIDown, KubeletDown, VPNTunnelDown, KubeVirtControlPlaneDown,
CDINoDefaultStorageClass) share ONE root cause, not per-rule label mismatches:
the Prometheus PVC is 100% full ("no space left on device" on every WAL commit).
Evidence from the live dev cluster:
- /prometheus is 4.8G/5Gi, 0 bytes free; every scrape logs "Scrape commit
failed ... write to WAL: no space left on device". Scrapes still return 200
(targets show healthy, lastScrape=now) but samples are never stored, so the
TSDB head froze at 2026-08-28 13:45 UTC while the pod clock reads ~19:33 UTC.
- Instant queries at "now" therefore return an EMPTY vector, so every
absent()/==0 platform rule trips. Evaluated at the last-good-sample time each
expr is correctly FALSE (keycloak-0/keycloak-db-1 ready=1, apiserver+kubelet
up=1 x3, tun0 series present, kubevirt control-plane expr empty, CDI default
present) — the rules are correct; the monitor was simply blind.
`retention` alone prunes only by AGE: this cluster is 3d2h old with 3d dev
retention, so time-pruning has NEVER run and 3d of block churn (~1.2Gi/day) plus
a WAL that ballooned past 1Gi overran the 5Gi disk. Fix adds a size-based
retention cap (new MONITORING_PROMETHEUS_RETENTION_SIZE knob) kept below each
env's PVC so Prometheus drops oldest blocks before the disk fills, and bumps the
dev PVC 5Gi->8Gi for real WAL/head/compaction headroom.
- platform/monitoring/kube-prometheus-stack.yaml: retentionSize: ${knob}
- clusters/base/cluster-vars.yaml: knob default 8GiB (base 10Gi PVC)
- clusters/dev/kustomization.yaml: PVC 5Gi->8Gi, retentionSize 5GiB
- clusters/prod/kustomization.yaml: retentionSize 45GiB (50Gi PVC)
- platform/monitoring/README.md: knob table + rationale
Deploy note (PM): the PVC is already 100% full, so Prometheus cannot self-prune
until it can write. The 5Gi->8Gi bump must land as a Longhorn online expansion
(operator PVC expansion / manual patch); once free space returns, retentionSize
keeps it healthy. Watchdog left untouched.

Deploy Homepage (gethomepage) as the apex landing dashboard aggregating
links to cluster services, in its OWN non-gating post-platform Flux
Kustomization (clusters/base/homepage.yaml, dependsOn platform-config,
wait:false) — mirrors headlamp/oauth2-proxy so a leaf UI can never gate
the platform chain.
- platform/homepage/: plain manifests (ns, config ConfigMap, Deployment,
Service, default-deny+Cilium ingress NP, apex HTTPRoute). Non-root pod,
HOMEPAGE_ALLOWED_HOSTS, bundled mdi-* icons (DNS-only egress).
- gateway.yaml: add https-apex + http-apex-redirect listeners for the bare
apex (the *.home wildcard listener does NOT match it). Apex is already a
SAN on the wildcard cert — no new Certificate.
- Forward-auth annotated (auth-mode=forward-auth) but NOT enforced: the
Gateway ext-authz mechanism is an unbuilt Phase-6 WS-NET TODO (same status
as all other forward-auth apps). Flagged as PM follow-up.

Headlamp's HelmRelease sat in the wait:true `platform` Flux tier. Its pod
crashlooped (`flag provided but not defined: -session-ttl` — chart 0.40.1
renders a container arg the appVersion v0.40.1 backend lacks; upstream
kubernetes-sigs/headlamp#4883), and because it gated `platform`, the whole
chain stalled: platform Ready=Unknown -> platform-config, oauth2-proxy,
apps-wave-0/1/2 and apps-vms all Ready=False "dependency not ready".
Part A (unblock + durable lesson): a leaf UI must never gate the chain. Move
all Headlamp resources into a new non-gating Flux Kustomization
clusters/base/headlamp.yaml (dependsOn platform-config, wait:false, SOPS
decryption patched per-env in clusters/dev) — mirroring oauth2-proxy exactly.
The new Kustomization owns the whole platform/headlamp component; its HTTPRoute
moves from platform-config into platform/headlamp/kustomization.yaml. Removed
headlamp from platform/kustomization.yaml and its httproute from
platform-config/kustomization.yaml. Now a crashlooping Headlamp can never stall
platform/platform-config/apps.
Part B (make it start): pin the chart to 0.41.0 (`>=0.41.0 <0.42.0`). The
backend added `f.Int("session-ttl", …)` in v0.41.0 and chart 0.41.0 pins that
same image (appVersion == chart version), so chart+image realign; every arg the
chart renders for our values is supported. OIDC config + per-user RBAC
(clusterRoleBinding.create:false) unchanged.
Gate: `make -C ci gate` PASS.

oauth2-proxy is a leaf forward-auth service that depends on Keycloak +
trusted wildcard TLS + split-horizon DNS. It lived in the gating `platform`
Flux Kustomization (wait:true), so on a cold start it Failed until those
dependencies existed, keeping the whole `platform` tier not-Ready. That in
turn blocked `platform-config` — which brings up the very Keycloak instance,
wildcard Certificate and L2 VIP oauth2-proxy needs (and previously carried
oauth2-proxy's own httproute/servicemonitor) — from ever reconciling. A
self-gating cold-start deadlock, twice-proven (DECISIONS-LOG sessions 7 & 9).
Break the cycle by moving the whole oauth2-proxy component out of the
`platform` tier into its own non-gating post-platform Flux Kustomization:
- clusters/base/oauth2-proxy.yaml: new Kustomization -> ./platform/oauth2-proxy,
dependsOn platform-config, wait:false, substituteFrom cluster-vars.
- clusters/base/kustomization.yaml: reference the new Kustomization.
- platform/kustomization.yaml: drop the oauth2-proxy component (no longer in
the gating tier).
- platform/oauth2-proxy/kustomization.yaml: pull in httproute + servicemonitor
so the full component travels together.
- platform-config/kustomization.yaml: drop the in-place oauth2-proxy
httproute/servicemonitor refs (moved with the controller).
- clusters/dev/kustomization.yaml: add the SOPS decryption patch for the new
oauth2-proxy Kustomization (it now owns the encrypted credentials Secret that
the `platform` Kustomization used to decrypt).
Now `platform` reaches Ready without oauth2-proxy; platform-config brings up
Keycloak/TLS/DNS; then oauth2-proxy reconciles against dependencies that
already exist. wait:false guarantees its health can never gate anything above
it. No config of oauth2-proxy itself changed — only its reconciliation tier.

Flux's postBuild.substituteFrom runs envsubst over the WHOLE manifest, including
the VM cloud-init userData. It was substituting every shell `${...}` in the UOS
install script (${UOS_URL}, the API-resolver ${...}) to empty — which is why the
first UOS install silently did nothing — and ${PIPESTATUS[0]} then broke the
build entirely ("missing closing brace"), blocking apps-vms reconcile.
VM manifests use no cluster-vars, so substitution is unneeded. Removed it; the
cloud-init shell now reaches the guest intact. (A future VM needing a cluster-var
must escape its shell `${...}` as `$${...}`.)

First KubeVirt VM app + first real CDI http import. UniFi OS Server (UOS) is
Ubiquiti's current self-host product (the .deb is deprecated); it bundles UniFi
OS + Network app + its own datastore, so no MongoDB companion.
- apps/vms/unifi: CDI DataVolume (Ubuntu 24.04 cloud image -> longhorn-vm
RWX/Block, live-migratable) + VirtualMachine (evictionStrategy: LiveMigrate)
with cloud-init that installs podman/slirp4netns/jq and runs the UOS installer
NON-INTERACTIVELY. The installer URL is resolved at boot from Ubiquiti's public
firmware API (fw-update.ui.com/api/firmware-latest) — always-latest, no pinned
URL to maintain (currently UOS v5.1.37).
- L4 exposure: two LoadBalancer Services (TCP+UDP) sharing a pinned, L2-announced
Cilium VIP 192.168.1.54 (device inform/adoption + STUN can't ride the L7
Gateway); external-dns publishes unifi.home.keithjackson.dev. UI on :11443.
- default-deny + additive CNPs (controller ingress, egress, and CDI-importer
egress for the image pull).
- clusters/base/apps-vms.yaml: NON-GATING Flux Kustomization (wait:false,
dependsOn platform-config) — VMs are a separate lifecycle from the app waves,
so a slow VM import/install can't stall the app tier.

Replaces the single `apps` Flux Kustomization with dependency-ordered waves
(apps-wave-0..2) so a crashlooping workload isolates to its wave + downstream
instead of stalling the entire app tier. Parallel within a wave, ordered across.
- catalog/render.py: compute waves by longest dependency-path depth over the
ServiceDefinition `dependencies:` edges (a `<svc>-db` is a leaf, so its
consumer lands strictly higher — the "DB below consumer" rule falls out of
longest-path, no special case). `--emit-waves` generates the per-wave
kustomizations + Flux CRs; `--wave-layout` places renders into the right dir.
wave 0: pihole gitea jackett plex qbittorrent nextcloud-db semaphore-db
wave 1: sonarr radarr nextcloud semaphore gitea-actions
wave 2: seerr
- apps/*.yaml -> apps/wave-{0,1,2}/ (byte-identical moves; SOPS files intact).
- clusters/base: apps.yaml removed; apps-wave-{0,1,2}.yaml added (dependsOn
chain: platform-config -> wave-0 -> wave-1 -> wave-2, prune+wait each).
- clusters/dev: one SOPS decryption patch per wave (load-bearing).
- DESIGN-waves.md: wave table, topology, cutover runbook.
Cutover: preceded by disabling prune on `apps` (1bfb0db) so removing that
object here does not GC its resources; the wave Kustomizations SSA-adopt the
byte-identical manifests in place (no restart, no PVC churn).

Temporary: with prune:false, removing the `apps` Kustomization object in the

(CNPG Clusters -> PVCs). The apps-wave-* Kustomizations adopt them in place.

The in-cluster Gluetun gateway is retired; VPN egress is now a node-level host
OpenVPN split-tunnel (Ansible role vpn_egress_gateway) steered by a Cilium
Egress Gateway policy with a host nftables kill-switch (ADR-0015). Credentials
moved host-side to the Ansible vault. Update docs/comments only:
- platform/vpn-egress/README.md: rewrite for ADR-0015 (live + conformance-green);
drop the resolved "option 1 not viable with Gluetun" finding to a brief history note.
- platform/kustomization.yaml: Phase 3 comment -> node tunnel + Cilium steering.
- platform/kyverno/.../require-egress-class-label.yaml: ADR-0013 -> ADR-0015 steering.
- schemas/servicedefinition.schema.json: egress=vpn description -> node tunnel + Cilium.
- clusters/base/cluster-vars.yaml: reframe PIA_REGION / CLUSTER_POD_CIDR WHY comments
to ADR-0015 (Cilium excludedCIDRs); both keys retained (still referenced/documented).
- platform/vpn-egress/namespace.yaml: no privileged gateway pod under ADR-0015.
- pia-credentials.sops.yaml / pia-custom-ovpn.sops.yaml: comment headers only note
they are now UNUSED (creds host-side), retained pending cleanup; payloads untouched.

PIA's PF gateway 10.31.128.1 sits inside the /8 cluster-pool, so
FIREWALL_OUTBOUND_SUBNETS=10.0.0.0/8 made gluetun route it around the tunnel and
port forwarding timed out (getSignature to 10.31.128.1:19999). /16 covers actual
pod allocations and excludes PIA's 10.31.x.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <[email protected]>
CORRECTION: the connection failures were gluetun dialing RETIRED PIA IPs (46.246.x
= dead → timeouts, which I mis-read as a network block). A fresh PIA .ovpn connects
from the same host, and PIA's current SE Stockholm servers (158.173.x) are reachable.
Cilium was independently cleared (default-allow, host-fw off, Hubble FORWARDED).
Fix: UPDATER_PERIOD=24h so gluetun fetches PIA's current servers; keep
OPENVPN_MTU/MSSFIX=1350 for the real Cilium-VXLAN 1450 pod MTU (data channel);
PIA default UDP port. Re-enable vpn-egress. Full correction in DECISIONS-LOG.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <[email protected]>
Decisive diagnosis: OpenVPN's outbound init packets are 14 bytes with zero
replies (so MTU was never the blocker), pod UDP egress is healthy (NTP replies),
but TCP 501/443 to PIA IPs time out while Google/Cloudflare are OPEN — across many
PIA servers. This 192.168.2.x WiFi segment blackholes PIA's IP ranges (and
intercepts DNS). Not code-fixable. Reverted the port/MTU red-herring env to PIA
defaults; disabled vpn-egress pending an operator network fix (move to the
unfiltered 192.168.1.x LAN, or unblock PIA on the router). Full trace in
DECISIONS-LOG.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <[email protected]>
Port 53 also got no PIA replies: this network transparently intercepts outbound
:53, so dig works but OpenVPN-over-53 is swallowed. An NTP/123 probe from the host
returned fine, proving arbitrary non-53 UDP works bidirectionally (so it's
port-specific: 1197 conflict + 53 DNS-intercept, not a UDP block). Move to 8080
(community-verified for PIA, non-DNS, non-1197).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <[email protected]>
Wiring the port via "${PIA_OPENVPN_PORT}" made Flux/kustomize emit an unquoted
53 (int) after substitution, which k8s rejects for an env value ("expected
string, got 53"). Same gotcha as the Longhorn numberOfReplicas fix. Hardcode the
quoted string; cluster-var removed with a NOTE explaining why.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <[email protected]>
Operator identified the block: the home network NATs its own OpenVPN server on
WAN:1197, colliding with the cluster's outbound PIA-on-1197 flow (port-specific,
not a general UDP block — UDP/53 worked in tcpdump). PIA accepts OpenVPN on
53/1194/1197/1198/8080/9201; chose 53 (empirically proven to traverse this net).
- cluster-vars: add PIA_OPENVPN_PORT="53"
- gluetun: OPENVPN_ENDPOINT_PORT=${PIA_OPENVPN_PORT}
- re-enable vpn-egress; DECISIONS-LOG resolution noted

CLUSTER_POD_CIDR is 10.0.0.0/8 (Cilium cluster-pool — pods get 10.x, confirmed live), NOT the

Phase-2 exit tests (were Phase-0 scaffolds), authored against the live platform:
- trusted-tls (R-TLS-01/03): in-cluster probe dials the gateway Service (env-agnostic
via --connect-to) with wildcard SNI and verifies the served cert CHAINS TO THE LE
STAGING ROOT (operator decision A; dev uses LE-staging per ADR-0006). Fixture embeds
the '(STAGING) Pretend Pear X1' root. Probes public + internal-only hostnames (R-TLS-03).
PASSES.
- dns-exposure (R-DNS-02): a LoadBalancer Service with an external-dns hostname; polls
public DNS until ExternalDNS auto-publishes the record; teardown + policy=sync removes it.
ExternalDNS fix (root cause of the DNS test): domain-filter was the platform SUBDOMAIN
home.keithjackson.dev, which filters OUT the actual Cloudflare zone keithjackson.dev
('no hosted zone matching record DNS Name' — record generated but skipped). Add a
DNS_ZONE cluster-var (keithjackson.dev) and set domainFilters to it. policy=sync +
txt-registry still only manage ExternalDNS-owned records (the pre-existing wildcard is
untouched). Resolves the file's WS-NET R-DNS-02 TODO.

Kyverno HelmRelease install failed at Helm templating: config.webhooks was a
LIST [{failurePolicy, namespaceSelector}], but the kyverno 3.3.9 chart expects
config.webhooks to be a MAP (webhooks.namespaceSelector) — the chart helper reads
.namespaceSelector off the value directly ('can't evaluate field namespaceSelector
in type []interface {}'). Also, failurePolicy is not a per-webhook field here; the
chart's global switch is config.forceFailurePolicyIgnore.enabled (bool).
Fix: config.webhooks -> map with namespaceSelector (system+platform excludes);
add config.forceFailurePolicyIgnore.enabled = ${KYVERNO_FORCE_FAILURE_POLICY_IGNORE}.
Renamed the cluster-var KYVERNO_WEBHOOK_FAILURE_POLICY (Fail/Ignore) ->
KYVERNO_FORCE_FAILURE_POLICY_IGNORE (false base / true dev). Verified with

Un-suspend deadlocked: the single platform Kustomization applies HelmReleases
(which register CRDs) AND custom resources of those CRDs (ClusterIssuer,
Certificate, Kyverno ClusterPolicies) in ONE pass. Flux's server-side apply
fails atomically ('no matches for kind ClusterIssuer') → nothing installs, so
the CRD-registering HelmReleases never run either. Classic ordering deadlock.
Fix (flux2 controllers/configs pattern, applies to dev+prod equally — no
R-ENV-02 divergence): add a platform-config Flux Kustomization (dependsOn
platform, wait) carrying the CRs; platform keeps only the controllers.
- New clusters/base/platform-config.yaml (path ./platform-config, substituteFrom
cluster-vars, no decryption — no SOPS content); wired into base + apps now
dependsOn platform-config (transitively waits for platform).
- platform-config/ references the CR files IN PLACE via ../platform/... (Flux
builds LoadRestrictionsNone; Kyverno policies must stay under platform/kyverno/
for the CI L0 gate). CR resources dropped from the platform
component kustomizations (cert-manager, gateway, kyverno).
- Authored the missing Cilium L2 resources (were only a TODO): CiliumLoadBalancerIPPool
(dev NAT 10.73.0.240-.250) + CiliumL2AnnouncementPolicy (ens*), so Gateway
LoadBalancer listeners get a VIP. Prod range must be parameterized later.
Verified: platform build has zero CRs; platform-config build has 2 ClusterIssuers,
6 ClusterPolicies, Certificate, Gateway, both Cilium L2 CRs; dev/prod build; gate PASS.

Prep only — nothing deployed; running cluster untouched.
Reconciliation graph (operator-approved Option A): author clusters/dev/rollout/
= 4 per-component Flux Kustomizations (kyverno->cilium->longhorn->monitoring,
monitoring dependsOn longhorn). Dev overlay $patch:delete's the monolithic base
platform/apps and adds ./rollout, so only the no-secret tier reconciles; the
secret-blocked components are simply not created until hand-offs arrive. The
no-secret tier carries no SOPS content, so it needs no sops-age key. prod is
untouched (still builds the monolith). Convergence path coded in (delete rollout/
+ the two deletes) — R-ENV-02 divergence flagged for architect review.
Component hardening via cluster-vars (prod keeps strict posture):
- KYVERNO_VALIDATION_ACTION Enforce->Audit(dev), _WEBHOOK_FAILURE_POLICY
Fail->Ignore(dev), _ADMISSION_REPLICAS 3->1(dev); webhook namespaceSelector
excludes system+platform namespaces.
- MONITORING_STORAGE_CLASS var; GRAFANA_ADMIN_SECRET var (dev ''=chart default);
Alertmanager SMTP/secret deferred to Phase-4 with verbatim re-enable markers.
Cilium parity verified against the live CNI (no-op adopt). Validated:
