jakman85andClaude Opus 4.8 df5979fceb fix(k3s): enable nonroot-devices so CDI can import to Block-mode PVCs
The UniFi VM boot-disk DataVolume (RWX + Block on longhorn-vm) failed to import:
CDI's non-root importer (UID 107, cap-drop ALL) hit
`blockdev: cannot open /dev/cdi-block-volume: Permission denied`.

Kubernetes only applies fsGroup ownership to *filesystem* volumes — it never
chowns a raw block device — and Longhorn's CSIDriver (fsGroupPolicy:
ReadWriteOnceWithFSType) skips fsGroup on RWX/Block volumes regardless, so the
device stays root:root. The CDI-documented fix is the container-runtime setting
`device_ownership_from_security_context`, exposed on k3s (>= v1.31.3+k3s1, this
cluster is v1.31.5) as `nonroot-devices: true`. It makes containerd set the
in-container device node's owner from the pod's securityContext.

Added to the Ansible-managed /etc/rancher/k3s/config.yaml alongside tls-san;
applied via the existing rolling `Restart k3s` handler (serial:1, kube-vip keeps
the API up, etcd holds 2/3). Node-scoped, security-neutral (pods stay non-root),
and preserves the longhorn-vm RWX/Block/migratable contract unchanged.

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-playbook run, no tofu 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

  1. tofu apply in ../tofu/ has created the VMs; cloud-init (../cloud-init/) has baselined them (modules, sysctls, Longhorn disk, SSH user).
  2. Inventory reflects the node IPs. inventory/hosts.ini ships aligned with the LOCKED defaults; regenerate from tofu if overridden: cd ../tofu && tofu output -raw ansible_inventory > ../ansible/inventory/hosts.ini
  3. Run from the dev container (has kubectl + helm, used by the Cilium/verify/ Flux plays via delegate_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: true
  • k8sServiceHost: {{ k3s_api_host }} (= primary node IP, 10.73.0.11 by 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 the sops-age Secret in flux-system. Key never committed (.gitignore guards age.key/*.key).
  • flux_bootstrap_flux_cmd → bootstrap/flux/bootstrap.sh (GitOps Engineer, T-1.4): runs flux 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.

Static validation (PM, in dev container — NOT run here)
