Dev is decommissioned and has released the name. Prerequisites completed and
verified BEFORE this flip:
1. dev's 18 A records released by its own external-dns (policy=sync; sources
deleted after suspending dev's Flux so they could not be recreated).
2. dev's 18 LEGACY UNPREFIXED TXT registry entries deleted from Cloudflare by
hand. external-dns v0.21.0 deleted only the `a-` prefixed form and then logged
"All records are already up to date" — it would NEVER have cleared the older
unprefixed format it no longer writes but still READS for compatibility. They
carried `owner=default`; prod runs `owner=prod`, so prod could not have
claimed these names while they existed. This was the real blocker, and it was
invisible until measured.
3. dev's `*.home.keithjackson.dev` + apex Certificate deleted so it stops
renewing. Issued ~18d ago, so prod's request is #1 this week against LE's
duplicate limit (5 per identical name set per week).
Verified at the AUTHORITY (betty.ns.cloudflare.com), not via a resolver: 1.1.1.1
served stale TXT for minutes after deletion and would have shown a false failure.
UNCHANGED, deliberately: EXTERNALDNS_TXT_OWNER_ID stays `prod` — giving prod
`default` would let it adopt and sync-delete records it does not own, which is the
2026-09-04 incident. EXTERNALDNS_DOMAIN_FILTER stays the ZONE `keithjackson.dev`:
finding F-DNS1 proved a strict subdomain filter drops the hosted zone and external-dns
then publishes NOTHING.
The zone has wildcards `*.keithjackson.dev` and `*.home.keithjackson.dev` pointing at
the public IP (legacy non-k3s prod). Dev's specific records were shadowing the latter;
prod's new specific records shadow it again. The legacy stack lives on
`*.keithjackson.dev` and is untouched.
k3s_base_domain moves with it to hold the [parity] contract, but that value renders
the apiserver's install-time oidc-issuer-url: it does NOT take effect until the
k3s_server role re-renders config.yaml and k3s is restarted serial: 1. Until then the
apiserver trusts the OLD issuer while Keycloak serves the NEW one, so kubectl OIDC
fails in that window. Cert-based kubeconfigs are unaffected.

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.
