vh f7a8b668d3 paperwork: refresh STATUS.md + CLAUDE.md; finalize 4b
STATUS.md:
  - Mark 4b done (both Postgres migration + NFS decoupling)
  - Add arch decisions for gitea remote + prefer-elway policy
  - Add tooling entries for elway + tea CLI
  - Document 2026-04-24 session milestones (irv-ml1 AI stacks,
    elway, task-board, 4b finish)
  - Expand memory-pointer list with the files added this session

CLAUDE.md:
  - Tell new sessions to use elway for SSH-driven work, point at
    the smoke playbook template
  - Document the task-board plugin + MCP-tool contract so assistant
    sessions with the plugin enabled know the assistant should call
    task_start / task_update / task_wait / task_complete at
    meaningful checkpoints

.claude/settings.json:
  - Project-level env: TASK_BOARD_SESSION=Infra so every Claude Code
    session opened here labels its task-board cards "Infra"

playbooks/decouple-pfi-postgres-from-ana-nas.yaml:
  - Finishes the DB-off-NFS migration on pfi-postgres. Already ran
    against prod today; fstab clean, unmounted, no systemd mnt-db
    unit. Verify 3 was mis-expressed on first run (`grep -q active`
    matched "inactive") — fixed to invert systemctl exit code
    directly.

Snapshot of fleet state and open work. Refresh this file when a pass of significant work lands — don't let it drift quietly.

New session? Read docs/orientation.md first.

What's in place

Backup coverage (2-layer, fully operational)

  • PBS fleet-wide. All 5 hypervisors (pfi-pve, nh3-pve, esh-pve, esh-pve-nas, sfsrv-ana) → pbs-ana (primary, VM on pfi-pve with NFSv3 datastore on ana-nas). Per-hypervisor namespaces to avoid VMID collisions. DR mirror at pbs-nh3 (VM on nh3-pve with NFSv3 datastore on nh3-nas Synology) pulls daily at 06:00. Verify jobs armed on both sides.
  • restic 8/8 hosts with resticprofile + systemd timers at 01:00:
    Host Target rest-server DB hooks
    ana-docker rest-server-ana (local) synapse, seafile, vaultwarden-pg, gitea (native dump), openwebui
    ana-ml2 rest-server-ana (cross-site) — (no DBs)
    nh3-docker rest-server-nh3 (local, Synology)
    esh-docker-vm rest-server-ana (cross-site) paperless-pg, HA SQLite, CWA SQLite, pgadmin SQLite, uptime-kuma SQLite
    vm-esh-nas rest-server-ana (cross-site)
    nh3-dev (workstation) rest-server-nh3 (local)
    irv-ml1 rest-server-nh3 (via WG)
    esh-vm-db rest-server-ana (cross-site) pg_dumpall, mongodump
  • Cross-site restic rsync. ana-nas → nh3-nas at 04:00 daily (mirrors rest-server-ana data). nh3-nas → ana-nas at 05:00 daily (mirrors rest-server-nh3 data, runs as root since DSM writes files as admin mode 400). Tracked at configs/rsync/{ana-nas-to-nh3,nh3-nas-to-ana}/.

Inventory

  • ~22 tracked hosts under servers/ across ANA / NH3 / ESH / IRV sites. SSH config aliases in ~/.ssh/config for every host — ssh <name> just works.
  • Homepage at http://10.0.50.45:5100 — function-first layout (Main / Infrastructure / Toolchain tabs), per-group icons, four Infra sub-groups (ANA / NH3 / IRV / ESH). Docker auto-discovery active for 5 hosts (ana-docker, ana-ml2, nh3-docker, esh-docker-vm, irv-ml1).
  • FortiGate + UniFi discovery scripts produce TSVs; gap analysis against servers/*/ for unmanaged IPs.

Architecture decisions (durable)

  • DB data on local disk, not NFS. pfi-postgres migrated 2026-04-23; fstab + NFS mount removed 2026-04-24 (pfi-postgres now fully decoupled from ana-nas). Mongo on esh-vm-db confirmed already local. Removes the biggest ana-nas blast-radius risk. Memory: project_db_migrate_off_nfs.md.
  • Backups must not risk production. Rule adopted after 2026-04-23 ana-nas self-backup crash. Memory: feedback_backups_must_not_risk_production.md.
  • offen sidecars retired fleet-wide 2026-04-23. restic covers equivalent scope; reclaimed 16 GB of redundant tarballs on /mnt/backup/docker/esh-vm-docker/.
  • Gitea remote for this repo (2026-04-23). origin is vh/esh-pfi-infrastructure on gitea.phasefinal.com. Also: vh/task-board (new 2026-04-24) hosts a Claude Code plugin + marketplace serving the assistant task-state dashboard.
  • Prefer elway for multi-step SSH work (2026-04-24). The new scripts/elway mini-playbook runner replaces chained ssh -t sudo … commands — handles sudo once up front, structured reporting, idempotency (creates/when/changed_when). Memory: feedback_use_elway.md; template playbook: playbooks/elway-smoke.yaml.

Tooling

  • scripts/server_inspect.sh + refresh-server-info.sh for Docker hosts.
  • scripts/proxmox_inspect.sh + refresh-proxmox-info.sh for PVE nodes (reports VMs/LXCs/storage/backup-coverage).
  • scripts/discover-fortigate.sh, scripts/discover-unifi.sh, scripts/discover-gaps.sh for network-level inventory discovery.
  • scripts/deploy-stack.sh + scripts/sync-stacks.sh for compose push/pull.
  • scripts/add-host.sh for new-host registration.
  • scripts/elway (2026-04-24) — mini-ansible playbook runner over SSH. Playbooks live under playbooks/. Tier 1 (creates/when) + tier 2 (changed_when) idempotency; handlers + register + multi-host fan-out deferred as gitea issues #3#5.
  • tea CLI at /usr/local/bin/tea — gitea CLI, already logged in as vh. Use for issue / PR work instead of inventing URLs.

Open issues

🟥 Quick wins (do next)

  1. Fix Backrest's esh-docker-vm URI — done.

  2. Push SSH keys + pull snapshots for 6 unrefreshed hostsdone 2026-04-23. 4 VMs (pfi-ana-webhost, pfi-pteradactyl, pfi-tacticalrmm, pfi-postgres) took the workstation key via ssh-copy-id with lkraven@. 2 LXCs (ana-filebot, ana-wg) needed key installed via pct push from pfi-pve because PermitRootLogin prohibit-password blocked ssh-copy-id. Minor: pfi-pteradactyl's server_inspect Docker section is blank because lkraven is not in the docker group there — sudo usermod -aG docker lkraven + re-login to fix.

  3. Patch out forget schedules from all 6 restic profiles — done.

3b. Discover sf-r630 OS-side IPresolved 2026-04-23: the R630 with iDRAC 10.250.250.110 is the same physical box that runs sfsrv-ana (Proxmox VE at 10.250.250.115). No separate OS IP to find. servers/sf-r630/ now clarifies it as the hardware/BMC-only inventory entry; servers/sfsrv-ana/ is the OS view. servers/ana-ml2/README.md updated with its own distinct BMC IP (10.250.250.50, Supermicro) to prevent future confusion between the two physical chassis.

  1. (removed — see note above)

🟧 Real work (dedicated session each)

4b. Migrate DB data directories off NFS onto local VM disk.done 2026-04-23/24. Postgres on pfi-postgres migrated 04-23; mongodb on esh-vm-db confirmed already local (and serves zero user data in practice — paperless uses Postgres 15 on the same VM). fstab entry + NFS mount for /mnt/db on pfi-postgres removed 2026-04-24 via playbooks/decouple-pfi-postgres-from-ana-nas.yaml. pfi-postgres has zero remaining dependency on ana-nas. Only residue: cold archive of pre-migration data still on ana-nas (/mnt/db/pfi-*); harmless, can sit indefinitely.

  1. Rotate exposed secretsdone 2026-04-23. All six rotated: vaultwarden/gitea/paperless-ng Postgres passwords (hardcoded compose.yaml literals moved to gitignored .env files in the process), ana-docker + ana-ml2 + esh-docker-vm rest-server htpasswd entries, and rest-server repo passphrases for ana-docker + esh-docker-vm (ana-ml2's was already rotated during prior wipe+reinit). Also discovered along the way: paperless uses a separate esh-vm-db VM (10.0.50.60), not pfi-postgres as the old notes implied.

  2. Cross-site rsyncdone 2026-04-23, both directions.

    • ana → nh3 (04:00 daily): ana-nas:/mnt/backup/restic/repo/ana/nh3-nas:/volume1/Backup/restic-ana-mirror/. Runs on ana-nas as lkraven. 15.6 GB initial sync completed 07:18 UTC.
    • nh3 → ana (05:00 daily): nh3-nas:/volume1/Backup/restic/ana-nas:/mnt/backup/restic-nh3-mirror/. Runs on nh3-nas as root (rest-server-nh3 container writes mode-400 files; only root can read them on Synology). 2.31 GB initial sync completed 07:42 UTC.
    • Tracked at configs/rsync/ana-nas-to-nh3/ and configs/rsync/nh3-nas-to-ana/ respectively.

6b. PBS deployment across the fleet. Runbook at docs/runbooks/pbs-deployment.md. Phases 06 done (2026-04-22): PBS-ANA on pfi-pve with NFS datastore on Ana NAS (NFSv3 for ZFS case-insensitivity), PBS-NH3 on nh3-pve with NFS datastore on NH3 Synology (NFSv3 + Linux-mode POSIX 777 to avoid syno_acl interference), per-hypervisor namespaces, API tokens, verify jobs on both, one-way sync ANA → NH3 at 06:00 daily, and all 5 hypervisors (pfi-pve, nh3-pve, esh-pve, esh-pve-nas, sfsrv-ana) onboarded to PBS-ANA. Remaining phases: - Phase 7-8 — one week burn-in, then retire legacy vzdump targets on each hypervisor (keep until 2026-04-29 earliest) - Phase 9 — homepage cards for PBS-ANA + PBS-NH3 web UIs, memory/doc updates, servers/pbs-ana + servers/pbs-nh3 dirs

  1. SureFire tenant backup plan decisionresolved 2026-04-23 by folding sfsrv-ana into the fleet-wide PBS deployment (dedicated sfsrv-ana namespace on PBS-ANA, replicates to PBS-NH3 via the same sync job as the rest of the fleet). Hosting-agreement option chosen: PFI provides backup coverage as part of managed hosting.

🟨 Prereqs / polish

  1. Synology SSH setupdone 2026-04-22. Dedicated syncuser account (admin-group membership) with key auth, registered as servers/nh3-nas/, reachable as ssh nh3-nas. Unlocks cross-site rsync (item 6), rest-server-nh3 healthcheck deploy, and .htpasswd edits on the NH3 side.

  2. scripts/restic-prune.sh — temporarily flip --append-only off, run forget + prune across all hosts, flip back on. Needed quarterly for disk hygiene. Not urgent; blocks only the "I need to reclaim disk space now" scenario.

  3. Retire offen/docker-volume-backup sidecarsdone 2026-04-23. Removed from paperless-ngx and pgadmin composes on esh-docker-vm (only hosts in the fleet that had them). 16 GB of orphan tarballs at /mnt/backup/docker/esh-vm-docker/ reclaimed. Restic coverage verified equivalent: /var/lib/docker/volumes in source + pre-backup hook handles the DB dumps for paperless (against esh-vm-db), HA, pgadmin, CWA, uptime-kuma. Obsolete *_offen_backup_data exclude also removed from the restic profile.

  4. Clean up retired mattermost dir on ana-docker — compose dir at /opt/docker/compose/mattermost/ may still linger. Single rm -rf when convenient.

🟩 Research / deferred / intermittent

  1. Backrest UI intermittent timeout. Backend is confirmed healthy (direct curl GetConfig returns in 200ms). UI chokes on the same endpoint. Likely cause: SSE stream wedge in browser, or service worker stale. Workaround: Ctrl+Shift+R. Root cause investigation deferred.

  2. UniFi controller homepage cards (ESH-UDMPM at 10.0.0.1, PFI-UDMSE at 10.100.0.1). Auto-discovered via the Site Manager API; not yet linked as homepage cards.

  3. Prune + credential-rotation scripts as repeatable tooling (vs per-incident manual work).

🟦 Memory / documentation housekeeping

  1. docs/ organization could use a pass — multiple READMEs and reference files in different spots. Not urgent.

  2. STATUS.md (this file) drift. Update whenever significant work lands. Consider a scripts/status-regen.sh if manual updates slip.

Session milestones — 2026-04-24 (the "tooling day")

  • irv-ml1 AI stacks deployed as Docker: ComfyUI (port 8188, host- writable workflows), Parakeet ASR (port 8765, rewritten on sherpa-onnx after the Shadowfita FastAPI wrapper hit two unfixed upstream bugs), CosyVoice 3 (port 8190, GLaDOS voice cloned + live).
  • irv-ml1 restic profile extended to cover /worktank/{comfyui/basedir/{user,custom_nodes,input},cosyvoice/voices}; bulk weights + scratch dirs stay excluded.
  • scripts/elway shipped — ~800-line Python playbook runner with tier 1 + tier 2 idempotency; handlers / register / multi-host / content-hash are deferred (gitea #3#6).
  • task-board built end-to-end (separate repo, vh/task-board on gitea) and shipped as a Claude Code plugin. Green/red cards per session via UserPromptSubmit + Stop hooks; four MCP tools expose explicit activity tracking.
  • pfi-postgres NFS decoupling finished item 4b — zero residual dependency on ana-nas for that VM.
