The first real run failed on all three nodes: fatal: [k3s-prod-1]: "No package matching 'update-notifier-common' is available" update-notifier-common is an UBUNTU package and does not exist in Debian -- `apt-cache policy` returns Candidate: (none) on trixie. The role asserted it "owns the hook that creates /var/run/reboot-required", which is true on Ubuntu and false here, so the role could never have worked. Three further measurements settled the replacement: notify-reboot-required is absent; NO linux-image-* postinst references it (invoking it is an Ubuntu patch, so dropping a script at that path would never be called); and no hook under apt.conf.d or /etc/kernel mentions reboot-required. Debian trixie ships no mechanism at all. So the role now provides it: * /usr/local/sbin/k3s-notify-reboot-required -- touches the sentinel when the running kernel is not the newest installed, using `linux-version` (from linux-base, a dependency of every linux-image, measured present) because kernel version ordering is not string ordering. * /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99-k3s-reboot-required -- DPkg::Post-Invoke, `|| true` so it can never abort an apt transaction. /run is tmpfs (measured), so the sentinel self-clears on boot; no cleanup task. The verify assert was ALSO weaker than it looked: a `find` glob for *update-notifier* / *unattended-upgrades* under apt.conf.d would have matched Debian's own unattended-upgrades conffile and reported "writer present" while none existed. It now stats the two exact paths this role owns and requires the script to be executable. Newly verified: the script ran on prod-1 as unprivileged k3s under sh -x -- running=newest=7.1.8+deb13-amd64, took the equal branch, exited 0, wrote nothing. Correct. sh -n and bash -n clean. Still unverified: the WRITING half never executes while running == newest, so the sentinel has not been seen created and kured has not been seen react. The honest test is the next kernel upgrade.

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.
