jakman85andClaude Opus 4.8 af5fc5b25f feat(tofu,ansible): SSD-backed etcd disk per k3s node (Phase 1: code + plan)
Interim bridge to stop Longhorn replica-rebuild I/O storms on the shared HDD
Storage pool from starving etcd WAL fsync (crash-looping k3s / flapping the
kube-vip VIP). Adds a small dedicated SSD disk per node for etcd only; Longhorn
stays on HDD. See docs/plans/ssd-etcd-isolation.md.

tofu (infra/tofu):
- New vars etcd_ssd_datastore (default "local-zfs" = rpool/data, Micron 5100
  SATA SSD mirror w/ PLP) and etcd_disk_gib (default 16).
- New virtio2 disk block on the SSD datastore per VM: discard=on, cache=none
  (honor guest fsync straight to the ZFS ZIL — safe on PLP SSD), iothread=false.
  Kept last (ascending interface) so bpg does not reorder virtio0/virtio1.
- Revert the debian_cloud_image resource to the long type name
  proxmox_virtual_environment_download_file to match the R2 state: bpg >= 0.111
  dropped the cross-type moved{} linkage to the short proxmox_download_file, so
  the stale moved block failed EVERY plan with "Resource type mismatch" (broken
  on main too). Aligning code to state yields a clean plan with no image
  re-download. Short-name migration is deferred to a deliberate `tofu state mv`.

ansible (node_baseline):
- Format /dev/vdc (label k3s-etcd) and mount it at
  /var/lib/rancher/k3s/server/db (defaults,noatime; no nofail so a missing etcd
  disk fails loudly rather than silently landing etcd on the root HDD) before
  k3s starts, so a rebuilt node comes up with etcd isolated on SSD. Data-safe:
  filesystem module never reformats an existing fs.

Phase 1 only: non-disruptive. No tofu apply, no node/VM/etcd/Longhorn changes.
tofu plan verified: 0 to add, 3 to change, 0 to destroy — every VM an in-place
disk ADD (virtio2), dev-3 also an in-place memory 16384->24576; no VM replace.
Merge gate green (render==golden included).

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, 16 GiB, Debian 12, k3s v1.31.5
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.
