The operator enrolled a phone, merged the peer, and `wg show` listed none. Measured on prod 2026-10-06 with the peer already on main: live wg-peers ConfigMap, active AllowedIPs .. 0 DaemonSet volume reference ................. configMap.name: wg-peers (FIXED) DaemonSet generation/observedGeneration .... 1 / 1 (never rolled) init container, all three pods ............. "0 peer(s)" Part of it was just the 10m reconcile interval. The defect is the fixed name: Flux updates a fixed-name ConfigMap IN PLACE, so the pod template is byte-identical, so no rollout is triggered -- and the init container assembles wg0.conf ONCE at pod start into a tmpfs, so the running tunnel keeps the old peer list indefinitely. Adding or revoking a peer had no effect until something unrelated restarted the pods. For a REVOCATION that is a security defect, not an inconvenience: delete a stanza, see a green PR, device keeps working. The runbook and README both claimed "PR -> merge -> Flux rolls the DaemonSet". Never true. And this repo already documents the fix, in a file I had read -- runbooks/kustomization.yaml: "The generated name carries kustomize's content hash, so editing any runbook rolls the server automatically and a stale projection is impossible." So: peers.yaml (inline ConfigMap) -> peers.conf (plain file) + a configMapGenerator. The operator's enrolled peer is carried across verbatim. Every line is WireGuard config and `#` is a legal comment there, so the documentation now lives inside the file that is actually mounted. `namespace: vpn-ingress` on the kustomization is REQUIRED, not tidiness: a generated ConfigMap inherits no namespace, everything else here declares vpn-ingress, and kustomize's nameReference will not rewrite across a namespace boundary -- without it the build mounts the unhashed name and the pods wedge on a missing volume. Caught only by building the output and reading the volumes. new-peer.sh: PEERS_FILE repointed, and a missing register is now FATAL rather than skipped -- the old `[ -r "$PEERS_FILE" ] && grep ...` guard meant that after the rename the only symptom would have been duplicate detection quietly never firing again. Stale peers.yaml references swept from six files including the script's own user-facing output. Verified: the DaemonSet now mounts wg-peers-m9kcckcb5t; the hash tracks content (edit -> dgg7ht9c74 -> restore -> m9kcckcb5t); the enrolled peer is byte-identical to main's; and `new-peer.sh dupe 2` is now correctly refused by the operator's real allocation. No sensitive paths; merges on a green gate. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <[email protected]>
home-network-k3s-impl
Implementation of the home k3s + Longhorn platform. This repo holds the reconciled artifacts
(Flux config, Kustomize overlays, KubeVirt/Helm manifests, ServiceDefinitions, Kyverno policies,
Chainsaw conformance tests, CI). It is driven by — and subordinate to — the read-only
specification at ../home-network-k3s.
Rules (from the spec — non-negotiable)
- The spec is read-only. Never modify anything under
../home-network-k3s. Implement against it; escalate spec problems, don't edit them (specAGENTS.md§11, R-TEST-06). - Done = a green, reproducible, requirement-tagged conformance test — never "merged," never a
manual demo (spec
docs/14,agents/definition-of-done.md). - No work on
main. Every change is a feature branch merged intomain(specCONTRIBUTING.md). - No work in a shared checkout. Every agent run gets its own git worktree, outside the repo
root, branched from
origin/main. This checkout is shared mutable state — seeCLAUDE.md§0. - No plaintext secrets — SOPS-encrypted only (spec
docs/07). - Phase discipline — only build what the active roadmap phase authorizes (spec
roadmap/phases.md).

Status
Roadmap phases 0–6 are delivered, and Phase 7 (Production Readiness) is OPEN and in
progress. clusters/prod is no longer a design-only overlay: prod is the live cluster, serving the
apex home.keithjackson.dev. The dev cluster was decommissioned on 2026-09-12 (full migration:
dev out, prod onto the apex — see the DECISIONS-LOG), so phases 0–6 are now exercised on prod
hardware rather than on Proxmox VMs.
Phase 7 exit criteria — prod runs the same config via the prod overlay; DR proven; monitoring + alerts live:
| criterion | state |
|---|---|
| prod runs the prod overlay | met — 3× mini-PC bare metal, one Flux tree, prod overlay only |
| monitoring + alerts live | met 2026-09-13 — see the note below; this was not true before that date |
| DR proven | R-STATE-03 PROVEN on prod 2026-09-14 — off-cluster restore from Cloudflare R2. R-STATE-02 (node-loss) is still dev-only |
DR restore is proven on prod. R-STATE-03 reads proven in --status as of 2026-09-14 —
the first requirement in this repo to reach that state. Both of its verifiers are recorded:
dr-restore (L3, run 20260914T021505Z-24b8111, sentinel DR_RESTORED_FROM_OFF_CLUSTER_BACKUP_OK)
and placeholder-guard-coupling (L0). The L3 drill seeds a canary on the replicated longhorn
class, backs the namespace and volume data up off-cluster, destroys every in-cluster copy
(namespace, PVC and PV), restores into a clean namespace, and asserts the restored PVC binds a
different PersistentVolume — so an in-cluster survival cannot pass as a restore.
What remains for Phase 7: R-STATE-02 (node-loss) is still proven only on the decommissioned
dev cluster. That drill takes a real node down on a live cluster, so it is a deliberate, scheduled
exercise rather than something to run in passing.
Read --coverage-only and --status as two different questions; the earlier PROVEN: 0 was not a
bug but the honest answer, because proofs are claims about a specific tree on a specific cluster.
| Phase | Delivered |
|---|---|
| 0 Foundations | ServiceDefinition schema + renderer, Kyverno L0 gate, conformance harness, CI |
| 1 Cluster bring-up | 3-node k3s HA, embedded etcd, kube-vip VIP, Cilium, Flux, SOPS. Originally Proxmox VMs; now 3× mini-PC bare metal (k3s-prod-1/2/3, 192.168.2.10/.11/.12, k3s v1.36.4+k3s1, Debian 13) |
| 2 Platform core | Cilium · Longhorn · cert-manager (LE-prod wildcard) · ExternalDNS · Gateway API · split-horizon DNS, both halves: CoreDNS for pods, and PiHole as the authoritative LAN resolver for ${BASE_DOMAIN} on udp/53 + tcp/53 at a pinned VIP (192.168.2.23 on prod). The LAN half was claimed from the start but did not exist until 2026-09-14 — PiHole's Service was ClusterIP :80/:4180, so LAN clients ran on hand-maintained per-client dnsmasq files |
| 3 Egress / VPN | ADR-0015 node-level OpenVPN split-tunnel + Cilium egress-gateway steering + host kill-switch |
| 4 Observability | kube-prometheus-stack · Loki · Alloy · Alertmanager. Velero unblocked 2026-09-13 — backs up to Cloudflare R2 (OQ-BKP closed; the velero-plugin-for-aws tagging incompatibility needed a pinned plugin). Longhorn has no backup target by decision: volume data is protected by Velero + kopia to R2. image-automation authored but disabled |
| 5 IaaS | KubeVirt + CDI on real nested KVM; live-migratable RWX VM storage. The UniFi VM runs, but UniFi OS Server is not yet installed in the guest |
| 6 Identity + CI | Keycloak (Operator + CNPG) · oauth2-proxy forward-auth · Grafana OIDC · kubectl OIDC SSO with group→RBAC · in-cluster Gitea Actions merge gate |
| 7 Production readiness | IN PROGRESS (DR restore proven 2026-09-14; node-loss outstanding). Prod live on bare metal serving the apex; dev decommissioned; CNPG HA 3 instances with primaries spread one per node; NFS bulk media + legacy Nextcloud mounted; VPN egress on prod. Alerting made real 2026-09-13 (Longhorn, cert-manager, Flux and twelve app SLIs had all been unable to fire). Open: node-loss (R-STATE-02) re-proven on prod. |
Conformance: 51 / 51 requirements covered (100%), 0 gaps, 0 safety-critical gaps (closed
2026-09-13; R-C2-01/R-C2-02 were the last two). Regenerate with
./conformance/run.sh --coverage-only; the full report is
conformance/_artifacts/coverage/coverage.md.
Coverage is not proof. A requirement is covered when an executable test exists for it, and
PROVEN only when a recorded run of that test is in conformance/runs/ledger.jsonl at the current
SHA on the cluster it claims. Read both numbers: --coverage-only for the first, --status for the
second.
The running narrative — decisions, root causes, incidents, follow-ups — is
DECISIONS-LOG.md. It, not this table, is the authoritative record.
Working on this repo
First, get out of this checkout. It is the operator's working copy and several agents share it; concurrent runs here have overwritten each other's branches and left each other's uncommitted files behind. One workspace per change:
git fetch origin main
git worktree add -b <type>/<slug> /path/outside/the/repo/wt-<slug> origin/main
cd /path/outside/the/repo/wt-<slug>
Outside the repo root specifically — a worktree under .claude/worktrees/ is a second full
copy that tree-walking gate checks then count twice. The rule, the measurements behind it, and
the three gate workarounds a worktree needs are in CLAUDE.md §0 and §3.
Everything the gate needs is baked into the pinned dev container — do not install the toolchain on the host:
infra/devcontainer/dev.sh build # once
infra/devcontainer/dev.sh run make -C ci gate # the same gate CI runs
infra/devcontainer/dev.sh # interactive shell (sops, flux, kubectl, tofu, ansible)
The container mounts the repo at /work, your age keyring, and the sibling spec repo read-only
so the spec-immutability check can actually run. See
infra/devcontainer/README.md.
A green run prints MERGE GATE: PASS. The L2/L3 conformance layers stay SKIPPED unless
CLUSTER_AVAILABLE=true — the static gate never pretends to have run them.
