Author the vpn_egress_gateway role + playbook that stands up the NODE-level PIA OpenVPN tunnel on egress-gateway node(s) — the host half of ADR-0015. The CiliumEgressGatewayPolicy steering vpn-class pods is separate GitOps against the same contract (group vpn_egress_gateway, node label homelab.keithjackson.dev/egress-gateway=true, host iface tun0). Honors all four ADR-0015 invariants: - Split-tunnel (inv 1&2): OpenVPN route-noexec + pull-filter ignore redirect-gateway => installs no routes; policy routing in a dedicated table (51820) with `ip rule from <tun0-addr>` steers ONLY Cilium-SNAT'd vpn-class traffic. Node default route stays on the WAN, tunnel up or down. - Scoped nftables kill-switch (inv 3&4): own inet table, policy accept, drops only tunnel-sourced (@vpn_egress_gateway_src set) packets not leaving tun0 => vpn-class fails closed (blackhole), node/internet-class fail open (WAN), never matched. PIA creds + the proven sweden-aes-128-cbc-udp-ip .ovpn come from Ansible vault (host-side per ADR-0015/docs-07); vault keys documented, no secret values committed. ansible-lint (production) + yamllint clean. Not deployed: green conformance is gated on the live tunnel (operator host creds) — see role README. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <[email protected]>
infra/ansible — k3s HA + Cilium bootstrap (Phase 1 T-1.3)
The "Cluster-join" node lifecycle stage (docs/02 stage 3) and the Flux hand-off
(T-1.4 call-in). Installs a 3-server HA k3s cluster (embedded etcd), Cilium as the
CNI, verifies readiness, then invokes the bootstrap/ entrypoints.
AUTHOR-ONLY — NOTHING HERE HAS BEEN EXECUTED. No
ansible-playbookrun, notofu apply, no cluster contacted. The PM static-validates (see below).
Serves R-ENV-01/02, R-PLAT-01, ADR-0001 (k3s), ADR-0002 (Cilium), ADR-0004 (Flux hand-off), ADR-0007 (SOPS).
Prerequisites
tofu applyin../tofu/has created the VMs; cloud-init (../cloud-init/) has baselined them (modules, sysctls, Longhorn disk, SSH user).- Inventory reflects the node IPs.
inventory/hosts.iniships aligned with the LOCKED defaults; regenerate from tofu if overridden:cd ../tofu && tofu output -raw ansible_inventory > ../ansible/inventory/hosts.ini - Run from the dev container (has
kubectl+helm, used by the Cilium/verify/ Flux plays viadelegate_to: localhost).
Run order
cd infra/ansible
ansible-playbook playbooks/site.yml # everything, in order
# — or step by step —
ansible-playbook playbooks/k3s.yml # 1. HA k3s (primary --cluster-init, then joins)
ansible-playbook playbooks/cilium.yml # 2. Cilium CNI (cluster is NotReady until this)
ansible-playbook playbooks/verify.yml # 3. gate #1: 3 nodes Ready, Hubble up, no kube-proxy
ansible-playbook playbooks/flux-bootstrap.yml # 4. hand off to bootstrap/ (SOPS then Flux)
What each layer does
| Playbook / role | Action |
|---|---|
k3s.yml / k3s_server |
k3s server install with --flannel-backend=none --disable-kube-proxy --disable-network-policy --disable=traefik,servicelb; primary --cluster-init, secondaries join via the primary's node-token (fetched, never pre-stored) |
cilium.yml / cilium |
Gateway API CRDs, then Helm cilium with kubeProxyReplacement, k8sServiceHost/Port, gatewayAPI, egressGateway, hubble, l2announcements |
verify.yml / cluster_verify |
waits nodes Ready + Cilium/Hubble rollout; asserts kube-proxy absent |
flux-bootstrap.yml / flux_bootstrap |
calls bootstrap/ (SOPS age key, then flux bootstrap --path=clusters/dev) |
Cilium ownership / parity contract (docs/02)
Ansible installs Cilium; the Flux platform/cilium HelmRelease adopts config
afterward. The parity-critical values must match between this role's
templates/cilium-values.yaml.j2 and that HelmRelease:
kubeProxyReplacement: truek8sServiceHost: {{ k3s_api_host }}(= primary node IP,10.73.0.11by default)k8sServicePort: 6443
The HelmRelease currently has k8sServiceHost: "REPLACE-ME" — WS-NET must set it
to the same value this role uses (surfaced by tofu output primary_node_ip).
Interface assumed of bootstrap/ (authored by other workers, NOT here)
roles/flux_bootstrap invokes two entrypoints via overridable command vars:
flux_bootstrap_sops_cmd→bootstrap/sops/install-age-key.sh(Security Engineer, T-1.4): installs the age private key as thesops-ageSecret influx-system. Key never committed (.gitignoreguardsage.key/*.key).flux_bootstrap_flux_cmd→bootstrap/flux/bootstrap.sh(GitOps Engineer, T-1.4): runsflux bootstrap ... --path=clusters/dev.
These script names/args are assumptions — if the bootstrap deliverables
expose different entrypoints, override the two vars in
roles/flux_bootstrap/defaults/main.yml; the task graph is unchanged. Flagged
for PM reconciliation.
