The previous commit created the two halves. This one wires the choice, so dev renders MinIO
credentials and prod renders R2 credentials from the SAME base manifests (R-ENV-02: the
overlay patch is the entire difference between environments; no base manifest is forked).
cluster-vars BACKUP_CREDENTIALS_SUFFIX base "" | dev "" | prod "-prod"
velero HelmRelease credentials.existingSecret: velero-cloud-credentials${BACKUP_CREDENTIALS_SUFFIX}
3x CNPG Cluster s3Credentials.*.name: <db>-backup-credentials${BACKUP_CREDENTIALS_SUFFIX}
ONE SUFFIX, NOT FOUR SECRET-NAME KNOBS. Four independent knobs can be updated three-quarters
of the way, leaving one consumer reading the OTHER environment's key with nothing rendering
wrong — and StrictPostBuildSubstitutions cannot catch that: strict mode fails on an UNDEFINED
variable, never on a defined-but-stale one. With one suffix the four move together or not at
all. The cost is that the rendered Secret name is not greppable from the consumer, so both
kustomizations spell the two names out in full beside the resources.
THE BASE DEFAULT IS "" AND THAT IS LOAD-BEARING. It renders the UNSUFFIXED names — objects
that exist in every render, and that dev is running today. The alternative failure mode is
strictly worse than the shared-Secret state this replaces: velero's pod hangs in
ContainerCreating forever when `existingSecret` names a missing Secret (the volume never
mounts), and a CNPG Cluster whose s3Credentials Secret is absent stops archiving WAL — which
under archive_mode=on is a filling pgdata PVC, not a missing backup. So an unresolvable
default breaks the referencing cluster HARDER than a wrong key does. Both overlays state the
value explicitly anyway, so neither inherits it silently.
Prod's overlay change is a cluster-vars op only. The velero Flux Kustomization patch is
untouched (it stays decryption-only, and velero stays suspended on prod).
VERIFIED — `kubectl kustomize --load-restrictor LoadRestrictionsNone` on clusters/dev and
clusters/prod for the cluster-vars values, then on each of the four affected tiers (platform,
platform-config, platform/velero, apps/wave-0) piped through `flux envsubst --strict` with
that environment's variables:
strict envsubst PASSES for all 8 (env x tier) combinations
dev velero existingSecret velero-cloud-credentials
dev keycloak/nextcloud/semaphore-db <db>-backup-credentials (both key refs each)
prod velero existingSecret velero-cloud-credentials-prod
prod keycloak/nextcloud/semaphore-db <db>-backup-credentials-prod (both key refs each)
both all EIGHT Secret objects present in the rendered output (dev and prod alike)
no `${...}` survives in any rendered tier except gitea's three DELIBERATE `$${...}` shell
escapes in apps/wave-0, which are pre-existing and unrelated.
Read alongside the endpoints the same overlays already set, the two environments are now
isolated on credential AND target:
dev velero s3://velero (root) + cnpg s3://cnpg @ http://192.168.1.9:9000 region us-east-1
prod velero k3s-prod-backup/velero + barman prefix @ https://<acct>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com region auto

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 plaintext secrets — SOPS-encrypted only (spec
docs/07). - Phase discipline — only build what the active roadmap phase authorizes (spec
roadmap/phases.md).
Layout
infra/ node provisioning: OpenTofu (Proxmox VE) + cloud-init + Ansible, and the
pinned dev container that carries the whole toolchain
bootstrap/ one-time cluster bootstrap: Flux install, SOPS/age key, host Gitea
platform/ platform CONTROLLERS (Flux HelmReleases / operator bases): kyverno, cilium,
longhorn, external-snapshotter, cert-manager, externaldns, gateway, coredns,
vpn-egress, monitoring, cnpg, keycloak, oauth2-proxy, kubevirt
platform-config/ platform CONFIGS — the custom resources of the CRDs installed above
(ClusterIssuers, Gateway, Kyverno policies, KubeVirt/CDI CRs, Keycloak CRs).
Split out because CRs and the CRDs they use cannot apply in one pass.
apps/ application tier, reconciled as dependency-ordered WAVES:
wave-0/ wave-1/ wave-2/ rendered container apps (see DESIGN-waves.md)
vms/ KubeVirt VirtualMachines (non-gating tier)
catalog/ ServiceDefinition entries (the onboarding surface) + render.py
schemas/ ServiceDefinition JSON Schema + renderer contract
clusters/ Flux entrypoints + dev/ and prod/ overlays
conformance/ Chainsaw behavior/conformance suite + harness + coverage report
ci/ the gate as scripts (lint · schema · Kyverno L0 · L1 render · decision)
.gitea/ Gitea Actions CI running that gate on an in-cluster runner
Status
Roadmap phases 0–6 are delivered and deployed on the dev cluster; Phase 7 (prod) is not
open — clusters/prod is a design-only overlay.
| Phase | Delivered |
|---|---|
| 0 Foundations | ServiceDefinition schema + renderer, Kyverno L0 gate, conformance harness, CI |
| 1 Cluster bring-up | 3-node k3s HA on Proxmox VE (192.168.1.50/.51/.52), Cilium, Flux, SOPS |
| 2 Platform core | Cilium · Longhorn · cert-manager (LE-prod wildcard) · ExternalDNS · Gateway API · split-horizon CoreDNS |
| 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 still blocked on OQ-BKP; 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 |
Conformance: 36 / 51 requirements covered (70.6%), 15 gaps, 1 safety-critical gap
(R-STATE-02, Longhorn node-loss). Regenerate with ./conformance/run.sh --coverage-only;
the full report is conformance/_artifacts/coverage/coverage.md.
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
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.
