All three CNPG Clusters ran `instances: 1`. Longhorn's 3-way replication saves the DATA when a node dies; it does not save the SERVICE — a single instance has to be rescheduled, re-attach its volume and replay WAL before Postgres accepts a connection again. With nothing in the spec keeping them apart, all three primaries had drifted onto ONE node (k3s-prod-2 on prod, k3s-dev-3 on dev). On 2026-09-07 that node took SSO, Nextcloud and Semaphore down together, and with SSO went kubectl OIDC, Grafana, Headlamp, Gitea and forward-auth. Three instances give each Cluster a streaming standby CNPG can promote in seconds, repointing the -rw Service with no volume re-attach and no restore. UNBLOCKED BY WORKING BACKUPS, NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR THEM. Standbys replicate corruption and deletions faithfully; only the Barman archive is a backup, and adding standbys while archive_mode=on with a failing archive_command would have multiplied the disk-full clock, not hedged it. All three Clusters on both k3s-prod and k3s-dev now report ContinuousArchiving=True with a real firstRecoverabilityPoint (verified read-only, 2026-09-07). Scaling out is non-disruptive on its own: CNPG creates -2 then -3 sequentially, each seeded by pg_basebackup from the RUNNING primary. The primary is not restarted and clients are not disconnected. The anti-affinity change that DOES cause a switchover is deliberately the next commit. DEV IMPACT: identical — dev is on the same shape (three single-instance DBs, all on k3s-dev-3) and gets the same scale-out. Dev has three untainted nodes and Longhorn headroom for it (see the next commit's message for the numbers). Cost: 2 extra 5Gi PVCs per Cluster; ~30 GiB provisioned cluster-wide against live pgdata of ~600 MiB each, on Longhorn with 200% over-provisioning. Verified: yamllint clean; `kubectl kustomize --load-restrictor LoadRestrictionsNone platform-config` and `kubectl kustomize apps/wave-0` both render `instances: 3`.

home-network-k3s-impl
Implementation of the home k3s + Longhorn platform. This repo holds the reconciled artifacts
(Flux config, Kustomize overlays, KubeVirt/Helm manifests, ServiceDefinitions, Kyverno policies,
Chainsaw conformance tests, CI). It is driven by — and subordinate to — the read-only
specification at ../home-network-k3s.
Rules (from the spec — non-negotiable)
- The spec is read-only. Never modify anything under
../home-network-k3s. Implement against it; escalate spec problems, don't edit them (specAGENTS.md§11, R-TEST-06). - Done = a green, reproducible, requirement-tagged conformance test — never "merged," never a
manual demo (spec
docs/14,agents/definition-of-done.md). - No work on
main. Every change is a feature branch merged intomain(specCONTRIBUTING.md). - No plaintext secrets — SOPS-encrypted only (spec
docs/07). - Phase discipline — only build what the active roadmap phase authorizes (spec
roadmap/phases.md).
Layout
infra/ node provisioning: OpenTofu (Proxmox VE) + cloud-init + Ansible, and the
pinned dev container that carries the whole toolchain
bootstrap/ one-time cluster bootstrap: Flux install, SOPS/age key, host Gitea
platform/ platform CONTROLLERS (Flux HelmReleases / operator bases): kyverno, cilium,
longhorn, external-snapshotter, cert-manager, externaldns, gateway, coredns,
vpn-egress, monitoring, cnpg, keycloak, oauth2-proxy, kubevirt
platform-config/ platform CONFIGS — the custom resources of the CRDs installed above
(ClusterIssuers, Gateway, Kyverno policies, KubeVirt/CDI CRs, Keycloak CRs).
Split out because CRs and the CRDs they use cannot apply in one pass.
apps/ application tier, reconciled as dependency-ordered WAVES:

catalog/ ServiceDefinition entries (the onboarding surface) + render.py
schemas/ ServiceDefinition JSON Schema + renderer contract
clusters/ Flux entrypoints + dev/ and prod/ overlays

ci/ the gate as scripts (lint · schema · Kyverno L0 · L1 render · decision)
.gitea/ Gitea Actions CI running that gate on an in-cluster runner
Status
Roadmap phases 0–6 are delivered and deployed on the dev cluster; Phase 7 (prod) is not
open — clusters/prod is a design-only overlay.
| Phase | Delivered |
|---|---|
| 0 Foundations | ServiceDefinition schema + renderer, Kyverno L0 gate, conformance harness, CI |
| 1 Cluster bring-up | 3-node k3s HA on Proxmox VE (192.168.1.50/.51/.52), Cilium, Flux, SOPS |
| 2 Platform core | Cilium · Longhorn · cert-manager (LE-prod wildcard) · ExternalDNS · Gateway API · split-horizon CoreDNS |
| 3 Egress / VPN | ADR-0015 node-level OpenVPN split-tunnel + Cilium egress-gateway steering + host kill-switch |
| 4 Observability | kube-prometheus-stack · Loki · Alloy · Alertmanager. Velero still blocked on OQ-BKP; image-automation authored but disabled |
| 5 IaaS | KubeVirt + CDI on real nested KVM; live-migratable RWX VM storage. The UniFi VM runs, but UniFi OS Server is not yet installed in the guest |
| 6 Identity + CI | Keycloak (Operator + CNPG) · oauth2-proxy forward-auth · Grafana OIDC · kubectl OIDC SSO with group→RBAC · in-cluster Gitea Actions merge gate |
Conformance: 36 / 51 requirements covered (70.6%), 15 gaps, 1 safety-critical gap
(R-STATE-02, Longhorn node-loss). Regenerate with ./conformance/run.sh --coverage-only;

Working on this repo
Everything the gate needs is baked into the pinned dev container — do not install the toolchain on the host:
infra/devcontainer/dev.sh build # once
infra/devcontainer/dev.sh run make -C ci gate # the same gate CI runs
infra/devcontainer/dev.sh # interactive shell (sops, flux, kubectl, tofu, ansible)
The container mounts the repo at /work, your age keyring, and the sibling spec repo read-only
so the spec-immutability check can actually run. See
infra/devcontainer/README.md.
A green run prints MERGE GATE: PASS. The L2/L3 conformance layers stay SKIPPED unless
CLUSTER_AVAILABLE=true — the static gate never pretends to have run them.
