Operator ask: implement the roles needed to check prod node hardware health, and run them to find out our state. This is that role; the run's findings are below. roles/node_health is a read-only sibling to cluster_verify (cluster health vs hardware health), styled after node_baseline. One unprivileged collector script does the work in a single SSH round trip — reading /sys/class/dmi, thermal + hwmon, EDAC, cpufreq + thermal_throttle, /proc/pressure, /sys/block incl. SCSI ioerr/iotmo counters, lsblk, lscpu, mounts + statvfs, per-NIC stats, resolv.conf. THE DESIGN POINT: an unreadable field is emitted as null WITH A RECORDED REASON, never as zero. The summary ends with a "NOT READ (and why) — these are UNKNOWNS, not passes" section. A fake zero on a reallocated-sector count is exactly the kind of false green this project refuses. 22 checks report PASS/WARN/FAIL/SKIP/INFO; every SKIP says why. Report-only by default; thresholds live in defaults/main.yml. Portable across bare metal AND VMs — validated against k3s-prod-1 (bare metal, no root) and k3s-dev-1 (VM, root). VM-absent things (SMART on virtio, coretemp, EDAC) skip cleanly, and iSCSI/Longhorn volumes are split out of the physical-disk set so a live replica is never mistaken for a spare device. playbooks/node-health.yml takes its target group as a variable (-e node_health_hosts= k3s_prod), deliberately unlike the other playbooks that hardcode k3s_servers — see the group-name gap already flagged in hosts.ini. Two become facts found the hard way and documented in the role: a group_vars `ansible_become: true` OUTRANKS `become: false` as a play/task keyword, so unprivileged tasks must override the variable; and `failed_when: false` does NOT catch "Missing sudo password" — only `ignore_errors` does. FIRST RUN, k3s-prod-1, 2026-08-31: 0 FAIL · 3 WARN · 12 PASS · 3 SKIP · 4 INFO. Box is healthy, cool and unstressed: i7-9700T 8C/8T, VT-x + /dev/kvm (KubeVirt OK), zero throttle events, hottest sensor 33C, PSI 0.00 across the board, 31.1 GiB RAM, eno1 up at 1000 Mb/s, BIOS R21 02.26.00, no reboot pending. DRIVE HEALTH IS STILL UNKNOWN — the headline. SMART did not run, blocked TWICE over: no vaulted ansible_become_password for prod, AND smartmontools is not on the node at all (node_baseline has never run there). Power-on hours, wear, reallocated/pending sectors and drive temperature all remain unmeasured on a ~2011 consumer SSD. WARNs: kernel ioerr_cnt=6 on sda (read cautiously — four freshly attached iSCSI disks on dev each showed a flat 7, suggesting a fixed per-device discovery cost, not media trouble; attribution needs dmesg/root); 0.95 GiB swap still active (node_baseline does the swapoff); one IPv4 resolver only (the other two upstreams are IPv6 Google), which refines rather than resolves the DNS-SPOF finding. ESCALATION — ECC status is UNKNOWABLE on this hardware: /sys/devices/system/edac/mc exists but no controller is bound. Non-ECC consumer RAM. Silent memory corruption on a prod node would be undetectable. Recorded as a SKIP with reason, not a pass. Serves: R-ENV-01, R-ENV-03, R-OBS-04. Task: T-7.1.

infra/ — node provisioning and the toolchain
OpenTofu (Proxmox VE) + cloud-init + Ansible bring up the 3-node k3s/Cilium dev cluster.
Spec: ../home-network-k3s/docs/02-environments-and-provisioning.md.
| Path | What |
|---|---|
tofu/ |
The "Create" stage: 3 cloud-init'd VMs on the Proxmox box (bpg/proxmox provider) |
cloud-init/ |
First-boot baseline shipped as a Proxmox user-data snippet |
ansible/ |
The "Baseline"/"Configure" stages: k3s HA, Cilium, kube-vip, the VPN egress gateway |
devcontainer/ |
The pinned toolchain (tofu, ansible, sops, age, flux, kubectl, helm and the whole CI gate toolchain) |
cluster.sh |
RETIRED — drove the old libvirt VMs; does not work against Proxmox |
PHASE1-STATUS.md |
Current state of the cluster and how to reconnect to it |
PHASE1-SCOPE.md |
Historical Phase-1 scoping doc (libvirt era — superseded) |
Where the cluster actually lives
The dev cluster is not on this workstation. It runs on a Proxmox VE host; the nodes sit on the Proxmox LAN and are reached across a pfSense NAT:
| Nodes | k3s-dev-1/2/3 at 192.168.1.50/.51/.52 — 6 vCPU, 24 GiB, Debian 13, k3s v1.36.4 |
| kube-API | kube-vip VIP 192.168.1.49:6443, reached from the workstation via NAT 192.168.2.50:6443 |
| Node SSH | pfSense NAT 192.168.2.102:2250/2251/2252 → node :22 (Ansible only) |
| Ingress VIP | 192.168.1.53 (Cilium L2, shared Gateway); .53–.60 reserved for LB VIPs |
The earlier libvirt/KVM cluster on 10.73.0.0/24 is retired. Any doc or command referencing
virsh, qemu:///system, or 10.73.0.x for the cluster is historical.
