The operator enrolled a phone, merged the peer, and `wg show` listed none. Measured on prod 2026-10-06 with the peer already on main: live wg-peers ConfigMap, active AllowedIPs .. 0 DaemonSet volume reference ................. configMap.name: wg-peers (FIXED) DaemonSet generation/observedGeneration .... 1 / 1 (never rolled) init container, all three pods ............. "0 peer(s)" Part of it was just the 10m reconcile interval. The defect is the fixed name: Flux updates a fixed-name ConfigMap IN PLACE, so the pod template is byte-identical, so no rollout is triggered -- and the init container assembles wg0.conf ONCE at pod start into a tmpfs, so the running tunnel keeps the old peer list indefinitely. Adding or revoking a peer had no effect until something unrelated restarted the pods. For a REVOCATION that is a security defect, not an inconvenience: delete a stanza, see a green PR, device keeps working. The runbook and README both claimed "PR -> merge -> Flux rolls the DaemonSet". Never true. And this repo already documents the fix, in a file I had read -- runbooks/kustomization.yaml: "The generated name carries kustomize's content hash, so editing any runbook rolls the server automatically and a stale projection is impossible." So: peers.yaml (inline ConfigMap) -> peers.conf (plain file) + a configMapGenerator. The operator's enrolled peer is carried across verbatim. Every line is WireGuard config and `#` is a legal comment there, so the documentation now lives inside the file that is actually mounted. `namespace: vpn-ingress` on the kustomization is REQUIRED, not tidiness: a generated ConfigMap inherits no namespace, everything else here declares vpn-ingress, and kustomize's nameReference will not rewrite across a namespace boundary -- without it the build mounts the unhashed name and the pods wedge on a missing volume. Caught only by building the output and reading the volumes. new-peer.sh: PEERS_FILE repointed, and a missing register is now FATAL rather than skipped -- the old `[ -r "$PEERS_FILE" ] && grep ...` guard meant that after the rename the only symptom would have been duplicate detection quietly never firing again. Stale peers.yaml references swept from six files including the script's own user-facing output. Verified: the DaemonSet now mounts wg-peers-m9kcckcb5t; the hash tracks content (edit -> dgg7ht9c74 -> restore -> m9kcckcb5t); the enrolled peer is byte-identical to main's; and `new-peer.sh dupe 2` is now correctly refused by the operator's real allocation. No sensitive paths; merges on a green gate. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <[email protected]>
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.
