vh 1a35181b67 revert(searxng): return search egress to direct NH3
Reverts the outgoing.proxies block added in 156e126. Canonical restored from
that commit's parent and verified byte-identical to the host's
searxng-settings.yml.pre-esh-20260917 backup, then deployed via
scripts/deploy-stack.sh so canonical and host converge rather than drift. The
esh-scale searxng-egress.service is stopped and disabled; tailscaled on that
container was not touched.

⚠ THE ROLLBACK DID NOT RESTORE THE ENGINES, WHICH FALSIFIES THE REASON GIVEN
FOR IT. 156e126 recorded that moving egress to ESH had cost three of four
engines. Measured after this revert, with egress confirmed back on
70.230.226.88 and the same instrument used for the before-measurement, the
result is identical: brave and startpage suspended, duckduckgo CAPTCHA, google
cse the only engine answering. Per-engine bang probes confirm duckduckgo is
CAPTCHA-ing the residential address live, so this is not a stale suspension
timer.

The engine failures therefore have some other cause and predate or are
independent of the ESH move. The claim in 156e126 asserted causation from a
correlation without measuring the pre-change state; the only evidence for
"residential egress avoids CAPTCHAs" was a comment dated 2026-09-03, which is
no longer true of this address.

The revert still stands on its own merits: ESH egress bought no measurable
improvement while adding a hard dependency on ESH WAN and mesh availability
for all fleet search, so the simpler configuration is the better one. It is
simply not the fix for the engines.

README rewritten to match: direct NH3 is documented as current, the ESH
attempt is kept as history with its measured outcome, and the health script's
blind spot is called out — scripts/searxng-health.sh prints a passing result
while three engines are blocked, because it gates on "any results returned"
and treats failed engines as informational. That script needs to fail on
blocked engines before any future egress change, or the next regression is
equally invisible.

eshpfi-management

Infrastructure management workspace for the PFI fleet (plus the ESH home-lab host). Tracks server state, canonical Docker Compose stacks, per-host configs, and the tooling that moves them around.

Common tasks

Refresh one host's snapshot:

scripts/refresh-server-info.sh ana-docker

Refresh all hosts:

scripts/refresh-server-info.sh all

Refresh all Proxmox nodes (separate flow — captures VM/LXC/backup-coverage):

scripts/refresh-proxmox-info.sh all

Add a new host:

scripts/add-host.sh <name> <ip-or-user@ip>
scripts/refresh-server-info.sh <name>

Validate discovery (without hitting the network):

scripts/refresh-server-info.sh --validate-only all

Push a stack to a host (with diff + confirm):

scripts/deploy-stack.sh <host> <stack>

Pull every server's compose/conf trees into stacks-mirror/ (not committed — see .gitignore):

scripts/sync-stacks.sh all

Bootstrap a new fleet repo from this one:

scripts/fork-fleet.sh ~/development/<other-fleet>-management
# optional: override the fleet-name baked into the skeleton CLAUDE.md / README
scripts/fork-fleet.sh ~/development/<dest> <fleet-name>

Mirrors the reusable tooling (everything under scripts/, the generic playbook templates, .gitignore, conventions section of CLAUDE.md) into the destination dir, strips fleet-specific content (servers/, stacks/, configs/, fleet-named playbooks (deploy-*, decouple-*), docs/orientation.md, docs/runbooks/, docs/pfi/, STATUS.md, host-pinned helper scripts), regenerates skeleton CLAUDE.md / README.md / STATUS.md with the new fleet name, and initializes a fresh git history with one "Initial commit".

The script does not create a gitea remote or push — namespace + repo name are an explicit manual step. The "next steps" output prints the exact tea repo create + git remote add + git push commands to wire it up when ready.

Backup pipeline

Backups are driven by per-host resticprofile configs under configs/restic/<host>/, scheduled via systemd timers on each host:

  • Writes: each host backs up to its site-local rest-server (rest-server-ana or rest-server-nh3), over HTTP basic-auth.
  • Authentication: shared .htpasswd file on both rest-servers, one entry per host; credentials stored in /etc/restic/restic.env on each client host.
  • Encryption: per-host client-side passphrase in /etc/restic/password (unique per repo; losing it = losing that host's backups).
  • Visibility: Backrest (http://10.250.50.70:9898) shows every repo for browsing/restore.
  • Schedule: backup at 01:00 daily, forget at 03:00 daily, weekly check --read-data-subset 10% on Sundays.
  • Prune: manual ceremony (rest-server runs with --append-only, which blocks destructive prune ops).
  • Off-site: cross-site rsync between the two rest-server data dirs is planned (not yet implemented).

Coverage status (as of 2026-04-29)

Goal: every Docker host + configs + every database covered, not just VM images.

Layer State
VM-level (Proxmox vzdump) ✅ All running guests covered across pfi-pve / nh3-pve / esh-pve-nas; esh-pve has VMID 108 uncovered
ana-docker restic (host files + DBs) ✅ configs/restic/ana-docker/ with pre-backup hooks for synapse / seafile / vaultwarden-pg / gitea (native dump) / openwebui
fv-ml1 restic ✅ configs/restic/fv-ml1/ — bare-metal host files (no DB hooks needed)
nh3-docker restic ✅ Light — no DB hooks needed
esh-docker-vm restic ✅ With DB hooks for paperless-postgres (external), home-assistant + pgadmin + uptime-kuma (host-side sqlite3), calibre-web-automated (in-container sqlite3)
vm-esh-nas restic ✅ Light — NFS mounts explicitly excluded
nh3-dev (workstation) restic ✅ /home/lkraven + /etc with language-toolchain and build-output excludes
irv-ml1 restic ✅ Cross-site to rest-server-nh3 via WireGuard
esh-vm-db restic ✅ With pg_dumpall + mongodump pre-backup hooks
Cross-site redundancy ✅ ana-nas → nh3-nas rsync at 04:00 daily; nh3-nas → ana-nas at 05:00 daily (configs/rsync/)
Prune ceremony ✅ Quarterly manual ritual documented in docs/runbooks/nh3-prune-ritual.md (DSM-mediated --append-only toggle)
offen/docker-volume-backup sidecars on esh-docker-vm ❌ Remove once restic proves itself (~1 week of clean runs)

Authoritative vs. mirror

  • Authoritative: files on each server under /opt/docker/compose/<stack>/ and /opt/docker/conf/<stack>/.
  • This workspace: source-of-truth copies under stacks/<name>/ (hand-curated), and a gitignored mirror under stacks-mirror/ pulled by sync-stacks.sh.

Edit in stacks/, push with deploy-stack.sh. Never commit stacks-mirror/ — it can contain embedded plaintext secrets from upstream compose files that haven't been audited yet.
