--- title: Fleet Patch Audit — 2026-06-19 type: project tags: - proxmox aliases: [] related: - [[fleet-platform-baseline]] - [[lxc-service-migration]] - [[caddy]] - [[ip-allocation]] - [[services]] updated: 2026-07-18 status: complete --- # Fleet Patch Audit — 2026-06-19 Read-only audit snapshot as of 2026-06-19. **Nothing has been applied — this is a planning document to build the patch plan from.** **Topology note:** the old Contabo VPS has been rebuilt as **edge1 (mail-only)**; **edge2 is now the front door for everything else**. edge1 is excluded from this audit (mid-rebuild/maintenance). **Headscale:** edge2 CT107 is the main fleet tailnet (34 nodes, `vpn.echo6.co`, self-hosted Headscale 0.28.0); utility CT106 is a separate IdahoMesh sub-tailnet (`vpn.idahomesh.com`, 3 nodes, low-risk). No [[services]] route through old-Contabo. **Mailcow CT108:** destroyed 2026-06-20 (`pct destroy 108 --purge`); backup preserved durably on pi-nas (`…/contabo-prewipe-2026-06/mailcow/`, sha256-verified); live mail on edge1 (MX/A for mail.echo6.co → 5.189.158.149). **CT101 update (2026-07-17):** migrated from WordPress/MariaDB to **Grav CMS 2.0.11** (flat-file, no database — MariaDB purged from the container); serves idahomesh.com (not intermountainmesh.com — that domain has always been parked at a third party and never reached this container); hostname `wordpress` unchanged. See [[environment]] / [[services]] for current state. All WordPress/MariaDB references below reflect the pre-migration state as audited on [[2026-06-19]] and are left as historical record. --- ## Campaign complete (2026-06-22) **Phases 1–3 are fully done. The entire fleet is on the current platform.** - **Phase 1** (guest/VM security apt) — COMPLETE 2026-06-20. 26 guests patched, ~600+ security packages cleared, zero data loss. - **Phase 2** (app/container updates) — COMPLETE 2026-06-21. All app upgrades done: [[authentik]] 2025.12.4→2026.5.3 (sequential), Forgejo 14→15, Headscale 0.28→0.29.1 (both instances), Immich 2.5.6→2.7.5, Nextcloud AIO→NC 33.0.5, media stack (Jellyfin/SABnzbd/arr), cortex AI stack (Ollama/TEI/Qdrant/Open-WebUI), and the low-urgency batch. - **Phase 3** (platform/reboot windows) — COMPLETE 2026-06-22. All 5 PVE nodes on 9.2.3/kernel 7.0.12-1-pve (including toc+cortex); pi-nas on OMV 8.4/kernel 6.18; cortex NVIDIA driver 580.167.08 + DKMS + nvidia-container-toolkit 1.19.1; GPU passthrough (vfio) survived the 7.0 kernel; cluster 5/5 quorate. **Intentionally deferred / out of scope (not failures):** - **RabbitMQ** — left on 3.12 by decision; OTS does not support 4.x and exposure is localhost-bound. Revisit only if/when OTS officially supports RabbitMQ 4.x. - **Nominatim v5** — full re-import project, spun off to [[nominatim-v5-reimport]]. - **Optional cosmetic cleanups:** navidrome cert renewal (`navidrome.echo6.co` expired unmanaged cert); MediaMTX deprecated config param rename (`protocols`→`rtspTransports`, `encryption`→`rtspEncryption`); retained `/root` rollback artifacts (DB dumps, binary backups on their CTs); vestigial utility exit-node route (0.0.0.0/0, harmless); `rpi-eeprom` still held on pi-nas (SPI bootloader, intentionally untouched). --- ## Prioritized Backlog ### Tier 1 — Security-Urgent Guest OS These containers have the highest raw security-update counts and have not been patched recently (or never).

No PVE 9.2 / QEMU / LXC / kernel, no Docker image pulls, no OMV/NVIDIA, no reboots. - **Protected hosts (cortex, toc) never go in a bulk pass** — handled individually in their own window. Note: toc hosts cortex (VM150), so a toc reboot drops cortex — the two must be coordinated together. - **edge1 (mail)** excluded while it's mid-rebuild. - `needrestart` will bounce affected daemons after glibc/openssl upgrades — seconds of blip per guest, no data risk. **Phased plan** | Phase | Scope | Reboot? | Notes | |------|-------|---------|-------| | **1 — Guest/VM security apt** | utility CT100,101,102,103,104,106,107,108,109,112,118,119 · cloud CT120,121 · media VM105,CT110,CT111 · data VM1130 · edge2 CT100–107 | No | Lowest blast radius. Worst-first: CT119, CT108, immich/nextcloud guest-OS, peertube. | | **2 — Hypervisor host OS security** | data, utility, cloud, media host OSes (**not toc**) | No | One node at a time; restarts hypervisor-side daemons (smbd etc.). edge2 host already patched. | | **3 — App / container updates (Tier 2)** | per-app, native updater each | Per-app | **COMPLETE 2026-06-21** — all app upgrades done (security-critical, low-urgency batch, and cortex AI stack). See Phase 2 Execution Log. | | **4 — Reboot windows (Tier 3)** | PVE 9.2 + QEMU 11 + LXC 7 + kernel on the 5 PVE-9 nodes; pi-nas kernel + OMV; cortex NVIDIA/DKMS | **Yes** | **COMPLETE (2026-06-22)** — all 5 PVE nodes on 9.2.3/kernel 7.0.12; pi-nas on OMV 8.4/kernel 6.18; cortex NVIDIA 580.167/DKMS/toolkit 1.19.1; GPU passthrough verified. See Phase 3 Execution Log. | | **Cross-cutting** | Tailscale 1.94→1.98 fleet-wide | No | Can ride along Phase 1/2. | **Special handling — do NOT bulk-patch these; use the native updater** - **mailcow** (edge2 CT108) → ✅ decommissioned 2026-06-20, no action - **nextcloud AIO** (cloud CT121) → update mastercontainer, then in-UI update button (port 8080) - **immich** (cloud CT120) → `docker compose pull && up -d` from its compose dir - **authentik** (edge2 CT105) → sequential version upgrades with migrations; 2025.12.4 → 2026.2.0 cannot skip releases - **pi-nas OMV** → OMV's own update path, not raw apt - **cortex / toc** → manual, protected, own window --- ## Open Decisions ### Resolved (2026-06-19/20) 1. **RabbitMQ 3.12→4.x** — **ACCEPTED** as a decoupled sub-task (Erlang ≥26 → 3.13.x → enable feature-flags → 4.x); the OpenTAKServer bump does NOT cover it. In scope for this campaign. 2. **Break-glass** — **VALIDATED**: all 7 LAN SSH paths work independent of the tailnet; every PVE node (incl. edge2) has local `pam`/`pve` realms; Authentik `akadmin`, Forgejo `matt`, Nextcloud `admin` local logins confirmed. ⚠️ **One gap → PDM (edge2 CT100)** has only `openid:authentik` in `domains.cfg`; confirm `root@pam` login at `https://100.64.0.28:8443` (or add a `pam:` stanza) **before** the Authentik upgrade. 3. **Phase scope** — **ALL PHASES**; no-reboot work (Phase 1–2) first, platform/reboot (Phase 3) scheduled separately. 4. **Daemon-restart tolerance** — **DOWNTIME ACCEPTED**; needrestart blips OK on the stateful guests (still take logical DB dumps for safety, but no holding restarts for availability). 5. **edge2 host kernel (DirtyFrag/copy.fail)** — **NO ACTION / NO REBOOT**: running `6.8.12-30-pve`, the newest its repos offer; no update available, no reboot-required flag. Not actionable without a repo/branch change. edge2 needs no Phase 3 reboot. 6. **CVE verification** — **NOT GATING**: being behind on versions is sufficient justification; post-cutoff CVE IDs are not chased or relied on for ordering. 7. **Maintenance windows** — **NO CONSTRAINT** (single user); disruptive steps may run anytime, no scheduling/announcement needed. 8. **Nominatim 4→5** — **DEFERRED / OUT OF SCOPE**: spun off to [[nominatim-v5-reimport]] as its own project. 9. **Headscale location** — **RESOLVED**: fleet control plane = edge2 CT107 (`vpn.echo6.co`, 34 nodes — high-risk); IdahoMesh sub-tailnet = utility CT106 (`vpn.idahomesh.com`, 3 nodes — low-risk). No Contabo routing. 10. **mailcow CT108** — **RESOLVED**: superseded by edge1; safe to decommission (pending backup-off-CT verify below). 11. **Phase 2 host-OS sequencing** — **RESOLVED**: folded into Phase 3 reboot window. 12. **In-scope app campaign** — Forgejo 14→15, Matrix/Synapse, Authentik chain, RabbitMQ, media stack, immich, nextcloud, headscale, cortex AI. (Nominatim excluded per #8.) ### Pre-flight gates — status (2026-06-20) - **PDM break-glass** — ✅ **DONE**: local `admin@pam` (Administrator) created on PDM CT100, login verified via API, Authentik realm untouched; cred in `credentials`, config backup at CT100 `/root/access.bak-2026-06-20`. - **CT118 archivist rpcbind** — ✅ **DONE**: nftables rule restricts port 111 to source `192.168.1.240` (NFS server) only; NFS mount healthy, ruleset persisted. Now 100% LAN-internal. - **mailcow CT108** — ✅ **DONE**: backup durable on pi-nas (`…/contabo-prewipe-2026-06/mailcow/`, sha256-verified), live mail confirmed on edge1; **CT108 destroyed (`pct destroy 108 --purge`, 2026-06-20)** — config + disk image purged. edge2 now hosts CT100–107. - **data disk (92%)** — ⏏️ **DE-SCOPED**: not a gate. OS package updates are roll-back-able (reinstall prior version); the migration-heavy apps that need real rollback (Authentik, Forgejo, Nextcloud, PeerTube) live on cloud/edge2, not `data`. Optional cleanup only (~6 GB obviously-safe: stale ISO, zimit temp) if ever wanted. **Rollback model (corrected):** OS packages → reinstall the prior version (no VM snapshot needed). App DB-migration upgrades (Authentik/Forgejo/Nextcloud/PeerTube) → restore a quiesced DB dump (cheap), since reinstalling the old binary won't unwind a migrated schema. --- ## Phase 1 — Execution Log (2026-06-20) **Status: COMPLETE.** 26 guests patched (security-pocket only), every service validated back up, ~600+ security packages cleared, zero data loss. No host reboots (guests only). Method: snapshot-or-DB-dump → security-only apt (`apt-get install --only-upgrade` from the security pocket) → `pct reboot` → service-by-service validation. ### Guests patched - **utility:** CT100, CT101, CT102, CT103, CT104, CT106, CT107, CT108, CT109, CT112, CT118, CT119 - **cloud:** CT120, CT121 - **media:** VM105, CT110, CT111 - **data:** VM1130 - **edge2:** CT100, CT101, CT102, CT103, CT104, CT105, CT106, CT107 (CT107 = headscale — see Critical Finding 1 below.) ### DB dumps / rollback points captured (reusable in Phase 2) | Guest | Location | Notes | |---|---|---| | authentik CT105 | `/root/authentik-db-20260620.sql` (126 MB) | — | | matrix CT106 | `/root/matrix-db-20260620.sql` (60 MB) | — | | forgejo CT103 | `/root/forgejo-db-20260620.sql` | — | | wordpress CT101 | dump taken on CT101 | — | | peertube CT110 | DB dump | — | | opentakserver CT109 | PG dump + LVM snapshot | — | | [[central]] CT104 | PG dump + snapshot | — | | immich CT120 | `/root/immich-predates-20260620.sql` | — | | headscale CT107 | `/root/headscale-db-20260620.sqlite` | — | **Note:** many edge2 and cloud CTs' storage does NOT support `pct snapshot` — DB dump or package-reinstall is the rollback model for those. ### Incidental fixes made during Phase 1 - **(a) CT110 peertube — immutable `/etc/resolv.conf` blocked reboot.** The file had `chattr +i` set (intentional NordVPN [[dns]] protection). Cleared the immutable flag to allow the reboot, then verified the flag was restored and [[dns]] remained healthy after boot. - **(b) CT111 mcc — DNS hijacked to unreachable MagicDNS.** Tailscale `accept-dns` was redirecting DNS to a MagicDNS address that was not reachable from this CT. Disabled `tailscale accept-dns`, set `1.1.1.1` / `8.8.8.8` persistently. - **(c) PostgreSQL on central CT104 moved 16.13→16.14** as part of the security-pocket apt pass. - **(d) Fleet-wide stale `/etc/hosts` fix** — see Critical Finding 2. ### ✅ Critical Finding 1 — CT107 headscale reboot-survival — FIXED 2026-06-20 On `pct reboot 107`, the fleet headscale coordinator crash-looped and required approximately 15 minutes of manual recovery. Two root causes: - **(a) Docker compose bridge `headscale_default` came up `linkdown`** after the unprivileged-LXC reboot. - **(b) Bootstrap chicken-and-egg:** Docker port-binds headscale to `100.64.0.38` (tailscale0), but tailscale0 needs headscale (the coordinator) to come up first. Recovery required: `compose down` → `docker restart` → manually add `100.64.0.38/32` to tailscale0 → `compose up` → re-auth CT107's own tailscale node with a fresh preauthkey → temporarily DNAT `vpn.echo6.co` through CT107's internal IP to bootstrap, then revert Caddy config and clean up iptables. **Resolution (2026-06-20):** Root cause was a triple boot deadlock: (a) headscale/headplane Docker ports were bound to the tailscale IP `100.64.0.38` (which only exists after tailscaled connects to headscale — circular); (b) the `headscale-stack.service` systemd unit waited on `tailscale-online.target` (also needs headscale up); (c) `only_start_if_oidc_is_available: true` blocked startup on Authentik reachability. Fix applied (all originals backed up `.bak-20260620`): 1. Rebound both ports `100.64.0.38:8084/3100` → `10.10.10.25:8084/3100` (CT's static internal IP, always up at boot) in `/opt/headscale/docker-compose.yml`. 2. `headscale-stack.service` → `After=docker.service` only (dropped `tailscale-online.target` dependency). 3. `only_start_if_oidc_is_available: false` in `/opt/headscale/config.yaml`. 4. Repointed edge2 `/etc/caddy/Caddyfile` `vpn.echo6.co` upstream (and `/admin*` headplane) to `10.10.10.25`. **PROVEN by a controlled `pct reboot 107`: headscale self-healed in ~45 seconds with ZERO manual intervention** — `/health` 200, RestartCount 0, clean logs, 32 fleet nodes online. Known minor leftover (cosmetic, non-blocking): CT107's OWN tailscale client node (100.64.0.38) stays in NoState because its tailscaled ControlURL points at its own IP (`http://100.64.0.38:8084`) — a self-bootstrap chicken-and-egg. The headscale SERVICE is fully healthy and the fleet is coordinated; CT107 is managed via the edge2 host OOB path, so its own tailnet membership is optional. Candidate follow-up: point CT107 tailscaled ControlURL at `https://vpn.echo6.co` (now always reachable via Caddy→10.10.10.25) so it self-registers cleanly. ### 🔴 Critical Finding 2 — fleet-wide stale /etc/hosts broke coordinator connectivity 7 fleet nodes — data, cloud, media, utility hosts, plus caddy CT101, cobalt CT112, and peertube CT110 — had a stale `5.189.158.149 vpn.echo6.co` line in `/etc/hosts` left over from before the [[2026-06-19]] headscale migration to edge2. This pinned `vpn.echo6.co` to edge1 (now mail-only), so tailscaled hit Mailcow's TLS cert and could never reach the real coordinator — affected nodes showed OFFLINE in headscale while coasting on persistent WireGuard tunnels (still SSH-reachable, masking the problem). **Fixed 2026-06-20:** removed the stale line and ran `tailscale up` on all 7; all confirmed ONLINE in the coordinator. `/etc/hosts.bak-20260620` backups left on each host. **IMPACT on Phase 3:** this class of bug means a reboot of an affected host while its control connection was stale would have failed to rejoin the tailnet — the primary lockout risk. Now that all nodes have valid control connections, reboots should re-register cleanly. However: **verify each node is ONLINE in headscale before AND after any Phase-3 reboot.** Headscale stale-node cleanup: deleted dead nodes `mailcow` (destroyed CT108) and a stale peertube duplicate, both on 2026-06-20. --- ## Phase 2 — Execution Log (2026-06-21) **Status: COMPLETE (2026-06-21).** All app upgrades done — high-priority, security-critical, low-urgency batch, and cortex AI stack. Only Phase 3 (platform/reboots) and the deferred Nominatim project remain. ### Completed upgrades All targets below were validated healthy post-upgrade; rollback DB dumps retained on the respective CTs under `/root`. **Wave 1 — cloud apps** | App | Host | From → To | Notes | |-----|------|-----------|-------| | Immich | cloud CT120 | 2.5.6 → 2.7.5 | XSS + ACL-bypass fixes; stack includes Valkey 9 and vectorchord PG | | PeerTube | media CT110 | 8.0.2 → 8.2.1 | — | | Nextcloud AIO | cloud CT121 | NC 32.0.4 → **33.0.5** (major); mastercontainer updated | Major NC version; AIO orchestrated update path | **Wave 2 — media stack (media VM105)** | App | From → To | Notes | |-----|-----------|-------| | Jellyfin | 10.11.6 → 10.11.11 | — | | Sonarr | → 4.0.17 | — | | Radarr | → 6.2.1 | — | | Prowlarr | → 2.4.0 | — | | Navidrome | → 0.62.0 | — | | SABnzbd | 4.5.5 → **5.0.4** (major) | Major upgrade; clean migration | | Lidarr | DEFERRED | Image maintainer hasn't shipped v3 — needs image swap to linuxserver to go v3; left on current | | Jellyseerr | INTENTIONALLY HELD on `preview-OIDC` tag | Stable lacks OIDC support; switching would break SSO login | **Authentik (edge2 CT105) 2025.12.4 → 2026.5.3** Done as 3 sequential hops: 12.4 → 12.6 → 2026.2.4 → 2026.5.3. `pg_dump` before each hop; migrations clean each time. **SSO verified end-to-end by Matt logging into navi.** Closes the May-2026 CVE waves. (ak app version 5.2.15.) **Forgejo (edge2 CT103) 14.0.5 → 15.0.3** EOL-branch migration; v15 schema migrations applied cleanly; web 200, API reports 15.0.3. Pre-15 DB dump at `/root/forgejo-db-pre15-20260621.sql`. **Headscale 0.28 → 0.29.1 (both instances)** - **CT106** (utility, IdahoMesh 3-node mesh) — upgraded first as rehearsal; native systemd binary. - **CT107** (edge2, fleet coordinator, Docker) — 32/32 nodes reconnected post-upgrade; health 200; boot-survival fix preserved (ports remain on 10.10.10.25). 0.29 breaking changes documented in [[meshtastic-headscale-runbook]] (key changes: `randomize_client_port` removed — was a hard blocker; ephemeral key config nested; minimum Tailscale client 1.80.0; bare ACL `*` now tailnet-only). **OpenTAKServer (utility CT109) 1.7.10 → 1.7.12** Clean; all 9 TAK [[services]] healthy. ### Key decision — RabbitMQ LEFT on 3.12.1 (EOL) Empirically confirmed during the OTS update: updating OTS to 1.7.12 does **not** touch RabbitMQ — OTS 1.7.12 runs fine against RabbitMQ 3.12.1/Erlang OTP 25. Forcing RabbitMQ → 4.x is the wrong move: OTS is built and tested against 3.12, and 4.x has breaking changes (queue-mirroring removal, feature-flag requirements) that would likely break OTS, which does not appear to support 4.x. AMQP/MQTT ports are localhost-bound, so exposure is low. The EOL 3.12 is a low-priority latent risk to revisit only if/when OTS officially supports RabbitMQ 4.x. **NOT a current action item.** ### Incidental fixes and side-work during Phase 2 - **CT107 boot-survival fix** (applied earlier in the effort, during Phase 1 resolution) — rebound headscale/headplane ports to 10.10.10.25, dropped `tailscale-online.target` dependency, disabled `only_start_if_oidc_is_available` gate, repointed edge2 Caddy; proven by reboot self-heal in ~45 s. Also corrected CT107's own tailscale node ControlURL to `vpn.echo6.co` so it self-registers cleanly. - **Utility node incident (resolved):** a batch delete of 9 LVM-thin snapshots triggered an SSD TRIM/discard storm that spiked I/O and load transiently; compounded by CT103 [[argus]] running hot (transcription + docker-compose build churn). Matt migrated [[argus]] to the cloud node, resolving the issue; utility load returned to normal. **LESSON: delete thin-pool snapshots one at a time — not in a batch — to avoid the discard storm.** - **Nextcloud:** granted `matt@echo6.co` the NC admin role. (user_oidc has no group-claim sync, so this is durable across SSO logins.) - **Radarr:** set up a `\\192.168.1.160\manual` SMB drop folder on the same NFS export as the library (atomic-move imports) for manual movie filing. - **Snapshot hygiene:** all rollback snapshots cleaned up after validation — Phase 1 `presec-*`, Phase 2 `prewave2-*`, OTS `pre-ots-*` snapshots all removed. ### Completed — low-urgency batch and cortex AI stack **Low-urgency batch — DONE:** - Caddy (utility CT101): 2.10.2 → 2.11.4 - CouchDB (edge2 CT104 livesync): 3.4 → 3.5.2 — all 5 DBs intact - valkey-8 sidecar (utility CT102 [[searxng]]): bumped to latest 8.x - NATS (utility CT104 central): 2.14.0 → 2.14.2 — all 12 JetStream streams intact - MediaMTX (CT109): 1.13.0 → 1.19.1 - Mumble (CT109): already latest in Ubuntu repo (1.5.517 — no upstream action possible without going off-distro) **cortex AI stack — DONE** (protected host; containers only; NO reboot, NO driver touch): - qdrant: 1.16.3 → 1.18.2 - tei: 1.7 → 1.9 (bge-m3 on GPU) - ollama: 0.16.1 → 0.30.10 (vault-tagger 100% GPU) - open-webui: 0.8.1 → 0.9.6 - Both `.ref` vault-engine deps (ollama vault-tagger + tei bge-m3) confirmed working on GPU. ### Minor follow-ups noted (non-urgent) - **Caddy expired cert:** Caddy flagged an EXPIRED unmanaged cert for `navidrome.echo6.co` (pre-existing condition, not caused by the upgrade) — fix if that hostname matters. - **MediaMTX deprecated config params:** 1.19 uses deprecated param names (`protocols` → `rtspTransports`, `encryption` → `rtspEncryption`) — works now (warnings only); rename before a future MediaMTX release removes them. - **Rollback artifact cleanup:** retained rollback artifacts to clean once comfortable: `/root` DB dumps on their respective CTs (authentik hop1/2/3, forgejo, headscale107, immich, peertube, OTS), binary backups (caddy.bak, nats-server.bak, mediamtx.bak on their CTs), and openwebui DB backup on cortex (`/home/zvx/openwebui-webui.db.bak-20260621`). - **Vestigial utility exit-node route:** stale 0.0.0.0/0 exit-node route on utility — optional cleanup (harmless post-0.29 Headscale). ### Separate deferred projects - [[Nominatim v5 Re-import]] — see [[nominatim-v5-reimport]] --- ## Phase 3 — Execution Log (2026-06-21/22) **Status: COMPLETE (2026-06-22)** — all five PVE nodes on 9.2.3/kernel 7.0.12, pi-nas on OMV 8.4/kernel 6.18, cortex NVIDIA driver + DKMS + container-toolkit updated, GPU passthrough verified. Phase 3 has no open items. ### Pre-flight findings - Cluster `echo6-cluster` 5/5 quorate, quorum 3, NO HA configured (clean guest stop/start, no fencing). - BLOCKER found + fixed: data, cloud, media had NO Proxmox APT repo configured at all — added `pve-no-subscription` (trixie, matching utility/toc); all 5 then saw the 9.2 stack. - Note: PVE 9.2 ships **kernel 7.0 as the new default** (proxmox-default-kernel) — nodes boot 7.0.12-1-pve, not 6.17.13 as the audit predicted. ### Cluster nodes — ALL upgraded to PVE 9.2.3 / kernel 7.0.12-1-pve (QEMU 11, LXC 7) One at a time; cluster stayed 5/5 quorate throughout. - **media** ✅ — done first (canary). Incidental: CT110 peertube failed to auto-start (recurring `/etc/resolv.conf` immutable-flag vs LXC pre-start-hook conflict) → **permanently fixed**: the flag was an obsolete workaround (NordVPN `set dns` no longer overwrites resolv.conf), cleared it + enabled NordVPN auto-connect, so future reboots won't trip it. - **data** ✅ — recon-vm (VM1130) healthy; virtiofsd-{kiwix,library,nav} auto-recovered this time; nginx needed the one expected restart (pre-existing mesh-DNS startup race). - **utility** ✅ — all 11 CTs; central JetStream intact (12 streams); caddy proxying, mesh headscale (CT106, 3 nodes), mesh-bridge (CT107) both tailnets, OTS stack all healthy. CT102 searxng needed a manual `pct start` (transient auto-start miss, no persistent fault). - **cloud** ✅ — done last (per operator). immich (4 containers + API 200), nextcloud (12 AIO containers, occ healthy, v33.0.5), argus running. (Note: argus CT103 on cloud has argus-capture missing / argus-transcribe masked — operator's in-progress argus→cloud migration, not from the upgrade.) ### pi-nas ✅ FULLY DONE (OMV 8.4 + kernel 6.18) **OMV (2026-06-21):** OMV 8.1.0-2 → 8.4.0-3 + Debian userspace (Docker, OpenSSL, salt, tailscale). All 5 NFS exports (arr/immich/nextcloud/peertube/data) serving; immich+nextcloud mounts confirmed OK. **Kernel jump (2026-06-22):** 6.12.62 → 6.18.34+rpt-rpi-2712 — operator physically present. Pre-jump: full `/boot` backup at `/root/boot-backup-pre6.18-20260622.tar.gz` (154 MB) + old kernel left in place as fallback. Booted clean in ~15 s; all 5 NFS exports serving; immich+nextcloud mounts recovered; SD card healthy. Only package remaining HELD: `rpi-eeprom` (SPI bootloader — intentionally untouched; optional to update later). **Important architecture note recorded:** pi-nas (2.8 TB RAID1) is the NFS storage backend for immich's photo library (644 GB), nextcloud files, peertube, and the *arr library — so a pi-nas reboot stalls those services' storage. ### toc + cortex ✅ DONE (2026-06-22, run from matt-desktop) - **cortex:** NVIDIA driver 580.159.03 → 580.167.08 + DKMS (built for running kernel) + nvidia-container-toolkit 1.19.1; all AI containers healthy on GPU — vault-tagger generates (Ollama), TEI bge-m3 embeds (200 OK from localhost:8090), Qdrant healthy. - **toc:** PVE 9.1 → 9.2.3 / kernel 7.0.12-1-pve. **GPU passthrough (vfio) survived the 7.0 kernel** — the key risk, verified. - Cluster 5/5 quorate with toc rejoined; cortex VM150 auto-started; no leftover snapshot. **Phase 3 has no open items.** ### Wrap-up (2026-06-22) **Rollback-artifact sweep done.** Approximately 10.4 GB of campaign DB dumps and binary/config backups removed fleet-wide. Largest single item: a 7.79 GB central Postgres dump on utility CT104. **Retained intentionally:** `/root/boot-backup-pre6.18-20260622.tar.gz` on pi-nas (kernel rollback artifact; 154 MB) and the durable mailcow backup on pi-nas (`…/contabo-prewipe-2026-06/mailcow/`). **Accepted final state — operator-acknowledged decisions (2026-06-22).** These are closed decisions, not TODOs. - **Guest OS = security-only.** LXC containers and VMs received security-pocket apt updates only (the intentional Phase 1 scope). Non-security package drift (e.g. Docker CE versions, miscellaneous libs) was deliberately not swept with a full `apt full-upgrade`. The PVE hosts, pi-nas, and cortex did receive full upgrades. Operator accepted this state. A full guest `apt full-upgrade` ("Phase 1.5") remains an option if ever wanted. - **Apps capped by external factors (decisions, not failures):** RabbitMQ 3.12 left by decision — OTS depends on it and 4.x would break it; Lidarr v2 — the lidarr-on-steroids image maintainer has not shipped v3, would require an image swap; Jellyseerr on `preview-OIDC` — kept because stable 3.3.0 lacks OIDC/SSO support; Mumble 1.5.517 — newest version in the Ubuntu 24.04 repo, upstream 1.5.901 is not available without going off-distro. - **Deferred project:** [[Nominatim v5 Re-import]] — spun off to [[nominatim-v5-reimport]]. - **Optional cosmetic follow-ups (non-urgent, non-blocking):** navidrome.echo6.co expired unmanaged cert; MediaMTX deprecated config param names (`protocols`/`encryption`); `rpi-eeprom` held on pi-nas; vestigial utility exit-node route (0.0.0.0/0). - **Kernel summary:** all 5 PVE hosts on kernel 7.0.12-1-pve; LXC containers share the host kernel (7.0); VM guests (recon-vm, arr VM105) have their own Ubuntu kernels (security-patched during Phase 1, not necessarily absolute-latest upstream); pi-nas on 6.18.34+rpt-rpi-2712; cortex kernel updated as part of the toc+cortex window. --- ## Execution Runbook (Meticulous) Step-by-step plan to bring every application and package current. Per-app target versions live in **Application Currency** above; this section is the *how/when/order*. Execution model: scoped Sonnet task per target → Opus verifies output → report to Matt; **approval gate before every load-bearing or reboot step.** ### Standing guardrails (apply to EVERY step) - **Protected hosts — cortex & toc — never in a bulk pass.** They get a dedicated, manual window. Note the coupling: **toc reboot drops cortex (VM150), which is the Claude Code host** — expect to lose the control session during that window; drive it from elsewhere or accept the outage. - **One target at a time.** Verify health before moving to the next. - **Snapshot/backup before each mutating step:** `pct snapshot` / `qm snapshot` (or `vzdump`) the guest first; DB dump before any DB-bearing upgrade; run the app's own backup where it has one (Nextcloud AIO, mailcow). - **No host reboots outside the explicit Phase 3 windows.** Security upgrades that set `reboot-required` are applied but activation deferred to Phase 3. Host OS-security apt for the four cluster nodes is NOT applied in Phase 1 — it rides the Phase 3 full-upgrade window. - **Rollback for DB-bearing apps = quiesced logical dump + old binary together.** For authentik, forgejo, nextcloud, peertube, and immich the rollback unit is a `pg_dump` / AIO borg / peertube dump taken with the app stopped and the old binary still in place. "Redeploy previous image tag" is NOT valid after forward-only migrations — Django/TypeORM migrations do not reverse, and a `pct snapshot` of a hot separate-volume DB may restore torn. Record before/after version in the tracking table. - Every result must survive a reboot (standing infra policy). ### Load-bearing dependencies (drive the ordering) - **Authentik (edge2 CT105) = SSO.** Upgrading it briefly breaks login to everything behind it. Confirm **break-glass admin** access first; do in a low-traffic window; verify dependent-service logins after. - **Caddy (utility CT101) = home-services ingress.** A restart blips all home services — fold its update into a deliberate moment, not mid-day. - **Headscale ×2:** edge2 CT107 = main fleet tailnet (34 nodes, `vpn.echo6.co`, ControlURL `https://vpn.echo6.co` → 184.174.35.153) — **HIGH lockout risk**. utility CT106 = IdahoMesh sub-tailnet (`vpn.idahomesh.com`, 3 nodes) — low risk. Upgrade CT106 first as rehearsal. Edge2 CT107 upgrade MUST be driven from an out-of-band path (edge2 host console / direct SSH to 184.174.35.153, NOT over `vpn.echo6.co`); extend node key-expiry first; dump DB off-tailnet before touching it. - **Nominatim 4→5 is NOT a routine update** — it's a re-import project (see Phase 2C). ### Phase 0 — Pre-flight (no app changes yet) **STEP 1 (FIRST — gates everything mutating): Verify break-glass and out-of-band access.** Confirm a non-Tailscale, non-Caddy path to every node: Proxmox/Contabo console for edge2, LAN `192.168.1.x` SSH for home nodes, PVE noVNC/`pct enter` for each CT. Confirm PVE/Proxmox web auth is PAM/local, NOT behind Authentik. Prove it: log into Contabo/PVE console; `pct enter` 105/106/107; confirm LAN SSH; locate break-glass creds in `.ref/credentials`. Verify Authentik akadmin (private browser session) + each protected app has a local-admin fallback (Forgejo `admin user`, Nextcloud `occ`, PDM/Vaultwarden local). Every node + CT shell must be reachable WITHOUT Authentik/headscale/Caddy. Losing the management path mid-run is the single highest-consequence failure mode. **STEP 2: Measure snapshot headroom (per node).** Run `pvesm status` + `df -h` on data/utility/cloud/media/toc/edge2. Record the storage backend per node (LVM-thin/ZFS/dir-qcow2) and its over-provision failure mode. Hard numeric rule: never start a snapshot below ~20% free; require ≥2× the largest guest's expected write-delta. Cloud node CT120/CT121 free space must be measured now — not assumed. Identify where vzdump lands; if it's `data`, freeing `data` is a fleet-wide rollback prerequisite. **STEP 3: Free space on `data`** (92% full, ~73 GB free) — sized to the largest planned snapshot (VM1130 recon-vm / nominatim+overture+padus). Prune stale vzdump/snapshots/ISOs; `docker image prune` on recon-vm (do NOT remove the pinned `nominatim:4.5` image). Confirm nothing deleted is the only copy of a backup or live NAS data. Verify: usage <~85% on snapshot-backing storage; test snapshot succeeds then remove. **Blocks data host Phase 3 and canary use.** **STEP 4: Verify off-host restorable backups** (distinct from per-step snapshots) for every stateful guest: central PG/NATS (CT104), opentakserver PG + RabbitMQ definitions (CT109), forgejo PG + repos (CT103), matrix Synapse PG (CT106), nextcloud AIO borg (CT121), edge2 livesync CouchDB (CT104). At least one copy must live off the node being changed. **STEP 5: Capture pre-change baseline HEALTH snapshot.** Record per-target up/down, container states (`docker ps`/`pct`/`qm status`), key endpoint 200 checks, and `apt list --upgradable`/security counts. Note known oddities: jellyseerr on preview-OIDC dev tag, mailcow CT108 already STOPPED, pinned-stale nominatim, CT118 archivist rpcbind on `0.0.0.0:111`. **STEP 6: Decision gates.** Close genuinely-open decisions before Phase 1/2/3 can start: daemon-restart tolerance sign-off (Open Dec #7); verify post-cutoff CVE claims against primary advisories with owner+URL per claim; resolve edge2 host-kernel CVE question fully (pin `uname -r`, check repo kernel availability, decide reboot yes/no — not left conditional); define and announce maintenance windows in America/Boise naming user-facing blips. **STEP 7: edge2 CT108 mailcow — ✅ DONE.** CT108 destroyed 2026-06-20 (`pct destroy 108 --purge`); config + disk image purged. Backup verified durable on pi-nas (`…/contabo-prewipe-2026-06/mailcow/`, sha256-verified); edge1 confirmed serving mail (MX/A → 5.189.158.149). edge2 now hosts CT100–107. ### Phase 1 — Guest OS security packages (no reboot; hosts folded into Phase 3) Guests only in Phase 1 (low blast radius). **The four cluster hosts' OS-security apt rides their Phase 3 full-upgrade window** — do NOT patch data/utility/cloud/media host OS in Phase 1 (avoids a mixed-state libc/openssl across the entire Phase 2 app campaign; both phases get cleaned up in one reboot anyway). edge2 host is already fully patched — no action. toc excluded (Phase 3, with cortex). Per guest target: `apt-get update` → snapshot → apply **security-pocket** upgrades → needrestart policy (see below) → verify service health and security-upgradable count hits 0. Kernel/libc security that flags `reboot-required` → applied, reboot activation deferred to Phase 3. **needrestart policy:** - **Stateful guests — `NEEDRESTART_MODE=l` (list-only), then deliberate bounce:** CT104 central (PG16/NATS/JetStream), CT109 opentakserver, CT110 peertube, VM1130 recon-vm. Stage the packages; take a logical DB dump with the app quiesced; bounce each service deliberately in controlled order. A JetStream restart mid-write loses messages on at-most-once pipelines; a RabbitMQ/redis bounce mid-job is not a clean "blip." - **Lockout-critical daemons — `NEEDRESTART_MODE=l` + deliberate controlled bounce:** Authentik CT105, headscale instance(s), Caddy CT101/CT111, sshd on any host you're connected through. Run `needrestart -r l` to see what would restart; bounce deliberately so a libc/openssl bump can't auto-bounce auth/tailnet/SSH daemons out from under the operator. - **All other guests:** `needrestart -r a` (automatic) is acceptable — seconds of blip, no data risk. **Ordering:** 1. **Canary first** (utility CT112 cobalt idle, or CT102 searxng) — prove the full procedure on a low-stakes guest before touching never-patched targets. 2. **Worst-first (after canary proven):** utility CT119 mesh-territory (91 sec, never patched), CT108 meshai (79 sec), cloud CT120/CT121 guest-OS (101/75 sec), media CT110 peertube (37 sec), utility CT109 opentakserver (31 sec), CT104 central (38 sec, incl. PG 16.13→16.14 + NATS). 3. **Remaining guests:** all other utility/cloud/media/edge2 CTs + data VM1130 (recon-vm). Gate data VM1130 step on data disk remediation verified DONE. 4. **edge2 CT106 matrix / CT107 headscale (NO Tailscale client):** drive via `pct exec` from the edge2 HOST (`root@184.174.35.153`) ONLY — never over service ingress. Treat as own singleton steps, not part of edge2 batch. `needrestart -r l`; do NOT restart headscaled/synapse unless required. 5. **Control-plane singletons LAST:** home-ingress Caddy CT101 and headscale instance(s) — each with DB backup + node-stays-joined verification, never inside a batch. 6. **cortex VM150 (PROTECTED):** security apt manually in the toc+cortex window (Phase 3 coordination); not in bulk. 7. **Cross-cutting:** Tailscale 1.94→1.98 and Docker CE→29.6 ride along Phase 1 under the same snapshots; EXCLUDE edge2 CT106/CT107 from Tailscale bump (no TS client). 8. **pi-nas:** Debian security pocket with `linux-image-*` and `openmediavault*` packages held; kernel upgrade rides Phase 3. ### Phase 2 — Application updates **Hard isolation rule:** {Headscale, Authentik, Caddy, Forgejo} are NEVER in the same maintenance window — at least one of {tailnet, SSO, ingress, git} must always be a known-good recovery path. **2A — Load-bearing SSO and control-plane apps (in this order):** - **Authentik (edge2 CT105) — FIRST, sequential hops, pg_dump per hop.** - **Pre-flight before any hop:** (1) Prove break-glass: log in as akadmin in a private browser session; confirm every protected app has a working local-admin fallback (Forgejo `admin user`, Nextcloud `occ`, PDM/Vaultwarden local, PVE PAM). (2) Audit/rename duplicate group names — the Django migration fails loudly on dupes. (3) If local `/media` storage is used, stop the service, `mv ./media ./data/media`, rewrite compose volume, before starting any new version. - **Hop sequence (no skipping):** 2025.12.4 → **2025.12.6** (backported security) → **2026.2.x** → **2026.5.3**. One hop at a time: `pct snapshot` + `pg_dump` (labelled per hop) → pull new tag → `compose up -d` → migrations run → verified-login gate (all dependent SSO logins tested) → abort+restore on FIRST migration error. Verify all dependent SSO logins BEFORE upgrading any of the dependents. - Rollback: `compose down` → restore prior tag + dump; or `pct rollback` for the full CT. - **Caddy (utility CT101 + media CT111) — early in Phase 2, before home-service app verification.** Pair CT101/CT111 in one deliberate low-traffic window (separate from Authentik, Forgejo, and headscale windows). Validate `caddy validate`; spot-check Caddy↔Authentik path; document a direct Caddy-bypassing Authentik admin URL as break-glass. Verify all home services reachable through the new ingress before proceeding with other app upgrades. **2B — Self-managed updaters** (snapshot → run native updater → verify): - **OpenTAKServer (utility CT109) — app upgrade first, RabbitMQ SEPARATE:** - Run OTS upgrade script (upgrades OTS + webUI + schema only). Snapshot first. Verify OTS web/API up; CoT works; TAK clients reconnect. - **RabbitMQ 3.12.1→4.2.8 is a SEPARATE sub-task (decoupled, after OTS app step).** The OTS updater does NOT migrate RabbitMQ, Erlang, or feature flags — the EOL RabbitMQ 3.12 would silently remain. Decoupled upgrade: `pct snapshot` + `rabbitmqctl export_definitions` → upgrade Erlang to ≥26 → 3.12→3.13.x → `rabbitmqctl enable_feature_flag all` (confirm all enabled, no classic-queue-mirroring config remains) → only then 4.x. A naive 3.12→4.x jump refuses to boot. Gate "OTS done" on RabbitMQ 4.x up + TAK clients reconnecting before accepting the bundled MediaMTX/Mumble bumps. - Rollback: restore snapshot + definitions export. - **Immich (cloud CT120)** — prune old images + `docker image prune` before snapshot; disable Immich background regeneration until free space is confirmed; `docker compose pull && up -d`. Do NOT interrupt first-boot 2.5→2.7 DB migration. Also clears Valkey 9.0.2→9.1.0. Rollback = restore `pct snapshot` + `pg_dump` taken with the app stopped (not a hot-DB snapshot alone). Verify web, mobile sync, ML. - **Nextcloud AIO (cloud CT121)** — AIO borg backup → stop → update mastercontainer → trigger child update via AIO UI (:8080). A stale AIO may need two cycles. Rollback unit = AIO borg backup (mastercontainer downgrade is not supported — borg is the only path back). Verify `occ status` 32.0.11; 12 containers green; integrity clean. **2C — Versioned apps** (snapshot → bump/upgrade → verify): - **Forgejo (edge2 CT103) — branch migration 14.x→15.0.3 (separate window from Authentik).** - Pre-steps: `git clone --mirror` echo6-docs (and other critical repos) to an OFF-edge2 location; pause the `echo6-docs-autocommit` cron so recovery docs survive an edge2/Forgejo failure; run `forgejo doctor check --all [--fix]` to repair stopwatch/tracked_time inconsistencies BEFORE backup+bump. Read 15.0 breaking changes + forward-only FK migration notes. - `pct snapshot 103` + repos volume + `pg_dump` + app.ini → bump tag 14→15 → pull/up → migrations → verify. - Rollback: restore 14.0.5 image + volume + dump. - **Headscale 0.28→0.29.1 — utility CT106 FIRST (rehearsal), edge2 CT107 LAST.** - CT106 (IdahoMesh, 3 nodes, low risk): standard 0.28→0.29 upgrade guide; `pct snapshot` + DB backup; stop → upgrade binary → config migrate → start. Verify `nodes list` all joined; verify headplane compatibility. - CT107 (main fleet, 34 nodes, HIGH lockout risk — edge2 front door): extend/disable node key-expiry on all 34 nodes BEFORE starting; `pct snapshot 107` + dump headscale DB off-tailnet (NOT via vpn.echo6.co); keep a second authenticated SSH session open to 184.174.35.153. Drive entirely from edge2 host console / direct SSH to `root@184.174.35.153` — NOT over the tailnet being upgraded. Verify boot chain: edge2 host → CT107 autostart → headscale up → `vpn.echo6.co` resolves → Caddy proxies. Rollback: restore snapshot via console (not via tailnet). - NOT in the same window as Caddy, Authentik, or Forgejo. - **Media stack (media VM105):** - `qm snapshot 105` before batch. SABnzbd 4.5→5.0: pause/empty queue; audit custom post-proc scripts (`empty_postproc` removed in 5.x, scripts now run on failed jobs); pin 5.0.4 tag; pull/up; verify queue intact. Lidarr 2.x→3.x: pin v3; pull/up; DB migration on start; verify library+indexers+download client. Sonarr/Radarr/Prowlarr (1-2 ver): routine bumps after SABnzbd/Lidarr. Jellyfin 10.11.6→10.11.11: pin tag; pull/up. Navidrome: routine bump. - **Jellyseerr preview-OIDC→stable 3.3.0: DECISION GATE before retag.** preview-OIDC → stable 3.3.0 is a schema DOWNGRADE; TypeORM stable may refuse to start against a dev-migrated DB. Confirm the correct destination artifact (jellyseerr stable vs "Seerr" successor) and, if OIDC is in active use, confirm 3.3.0 parity. Test stable image against a COPY of the DB first. If parity unclear → STOP and report. - Verify each UI; snapshot before, per-app snapshots for majors. - **PeerTube (media CT110)** — quiesce import/transcode jobs; `pct snapshot 110` + `pg_dump peertube_prod`; run PeerTube upgrade script 8.0.2→8.2.1; restart; verify. Rollback = `pct rollback` + restore dump. - **cortex AI stack (PROTECTED — manual, own window):** ollama 0.16.1→0.30.10 (snapshot models volume — the only rollback after pulling new models; upgrade; verify existing `ollama run` without re-pull; verify vault-tagger at localhost:11434 and TEI at localhost:8090 still work); open-webui 0.8.1→0.9.6; qdrant 1.16→1.18; tei 1.7→1.9. Pull images, verify. **2D — Lower-urgency batch:** caddy (minor), couchdb livesync (3.4→3.5.2), valhalla, photon, kiwix, NATS 2.14.0→2.14.2, valkey-8 sidecar (8.1.5→8.1.8) — snapshot + update as convenient. Vaultwarden, PDM, WordPress, Synapse/Element/MAS, obsidian, recon-vm Postgres → **already current, skip.** **2E — Separate project (not in this campaign):** - **Nominatim 4.5→5.3 + Photon 1.1→1.2 (recon-vm)** — requires full OSM re-import into a SEPARATE DB/instance; keep `nominatim:4.5` image + data until 5.x validated; transient import disk (flat-nodes tens of GB) cannot live on the 92%-full `data` pool; Photon 1.2 AFTER nominatim 5.x validated, never concurrently. Schedule as its own effort. ### Phase 3 — Platform & reboot windows (coordinated, approval-gated) > ~~🔴 BLOCKED — edge2 reboot was NOT permitted until the CT107 headscale boot-survival fix was in place.~~ **✅ CLEARED 2026-06-20 — the CT107 headscale boot-survival fix is applied and proven** (see Critical Finding 1 in the Phase 1 Execution Log). The triple boot deadlock (tailscale-IP port bind + tailscale-online.target wait + OIDC gate) has been resolved; headscale now self-heals in ~45 seconds after a CT107 or edge2 reboot with zero manual intervention. The Phase-3 edge2 reboot blocker is lifted. The remaining gates below (corosync quorum + Finding-2 headscale-ONLINE check per node) still apply. > **🔴 GATE for every Phase-3 host reboot (Critical Finding 2):** Before AND after rebooting any node, confirm that node is ONLINE in the headscale coordinator (`headscale nodes list`). Stale `/etc/hosts` entries previously masked coordinator disconnects behind coasting WireGuard tunnels — the stale entries have been removed fleet-wide, but verify ONLINE status at each reboot step to catch any regression. This gate is IN ADDITION TO the corosync-quorum gate below. **Corosync cluster rules (apply to EVERY node reboot in this section):** - The five PVE nodes (data, utility, cloud, media, toc) are ONE `echo6-cluster`, quorum = 3 of 5. Losing quorum makes `/etc/pve` read-only fleet-wide and freezes all VM/CT start/stop/config on every surviving node. - Before EACH node reboot: `pvecm status` must show `Quorate: Yes` and `Expected votes: 5`. Also run `ha-manager status` — if any guest is HA-managed, the reboot triggers fencing/auto-migration rather than a clean local stop/start. - Reboot ONE node at a time. Wait for full 5/5 rejoin before the next node. - Disable HA migration and NO live migration during the mixed-version window (QEMU 10/11 boundary — running VMs keep QEMU 10 machine type until cold-started; cross-boundary migration fails). **Per-node procedure:** `apt update && apt full-upgrade` (so proxmox-ve/qemu/lxc metapackages pull) → this also clears the held host OS-security packages → reboot → verify `pveversion` + all guests return with `onboot=1`. Confirm `pvecm status` shows 5/5 before proceeding. **Pre-window for each node:** vzdump all guests to an EXTERNAL target (not the local pool, never `data`) so a guest that won't start under LXC 7 can be restored elsewhere. Read PVE 9.2 + LXC 7 release notes for unprivileged-CT/cgroupv2/apparmor breaking changes before the first node. **Canary node order (lowest blast-radius with headroom first):** media (single arr VM + peertube, non-auth/non-DB-critical) → cloud (immich/nextcloud, after media proven) → data (after disk remediation verified; its near-full pool can fail the mandatory pre-reboot snapshot — do NOT use as canary until remediated) → **utility LAST of the four** (carries Caddy ingress + mesh/central stack — deliberately-scheduled full home-ingress + mesh-coordination outage, announce in advance) → **toc+cortex LAST AND ALONE** (see below). **Post-reboot re-verification gate (per node):** after each node boots into 9.2/LXC7, re-run the Phase-2 health checks for every guest that received a major app upgrade on that node (CT120 immich, CT121 nextcloud, CT110 peertube, VM105 arr, CT109 OTS). The substrate changed under them. **toc + cortex — DONE LAST AND ALONE, after all four other nodes are quorate:** - toc is the 5th cluster vote AND the GPU host for cortex (VM150) AND the management/Claude Code host. Rebooting toc removes a vote and kills the box you'd diagnose from. It must NEVER overlap any other node reboot (toc down + one other = 3/5 → one corosync flap loses quorum). - Name and TEST a concrete alternate control point (a non-cortex host with keys + tooling) BEFORE this window. Stabilize the tailnet well before it — never in the same period as a headscale upgrade. - cortex steps IN ORDER: 1. `qm snapshot 150 pre-nvidia` + vzdump (from toc, before anything changes) 2. `apt --only-upgrade nvidia-container-toolkit`; `nvidia-ctk runtime configure`; restart docker → verify `--version`=1.19 + `docker run --gpus all nvidia-smi` 3. `apt --only-upgrade nvidia-driver-580 nvidia-dkms-580`; DKMS rebuild → verify `dkms status` shows installed + `nvidia-smi`=580.167 BEFORE rebooting toc. Keep the old driver package installed as a reinstall fallback. 4. cortex Phase 1 security apt (if not already done in its own window) - Then reboot toc → verify toc rejoins (`pvecm status` 5/5) → verify VM150 autostart + cortex GPU passthrough return → final AI-stack health check (driver 580.167; all 5 containers; ollama/tei/qdrant/open-webui; vault-tagger+TEI engines; TS online; Docker 29.6). - **The Claude Code host goes down here** — run this step from the alternate control point. **pi-nas — standalone window, TWO reboots:** - Confirm physical/serial console access (no remote KVM on an RPi); export `config.xml` off-box; confirm pi-nas is not mid-sync as a Syncthing/backup target before each reboot. Back up `/boot` + `/boot/firmware`; keep the old kernel installed as fallback. - Reboot 1: OMV 8.1→8.4 via OMV's own update path (NOT raw `apt full-upgrade` — use OMV UI Update Mgmt or `omv-upgrade`) → reboot → verify shares/SMB/NFS/omv-salt healthy. - Reboot 2 (AFTER reboot 1 verified): kernel 6.12→6.18 — `apt install linux-image-arm64` (unhold); update bootloader; reboot ON APPROVAL → verify `uname -r`=6.18; LAN+tailnet up; shares mount; Docker up. Rollback: boot retained 6.12; restore `/boot`; on-site SD reflash. - Independent of cluster windows. **edge2 — CONDITIONAL (CT107 boot-survival blocker CLEARED 2026-06-20):** - ~~Previously also blocked on the CT107 headscale boot-survival issue~~ — that blocker is resolved; headscale survives a CT107 or edge2 reboot and self-heals in ~45 seconds (see Critical Finding 1, fixed 2026-06-20). - Reboot only if Phase 0 resolved the DirtyFrag/copy.fail CVE question as "yes, needs a newer kernel" (Open Decision #5 recorded "no action / no reboot" — edge2 host already fully patched). If a reboot is ever required: give it a dedicated window AFTER Authentik CT105 + headscale CT107 are upgraded and verified; announce SSO+tailnet downtime; drive from a non-tailnet path; confirm all CTs auto-start. edge2 is a single SPOF for ingress — no failover. Do NOT fold into cluster windows. ### Phase 4 — Cross-cutting (fold into earlier phases) - **Tailscale 1.94→1.98** fleet-wide — rides along Phase 1. - **Docker CE →29.6** wherever installed — rides along Phase 1/2 under the same snapshots. ### Tracking checklist (tick per target) ### Enumerated Target Checklist | Phase | Target | Action | Snapshot | Update method | Verify | Rollback | Depends-on | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | 0 | Break-glass / OOB access matrix (ALL nodes) | Verify non-Tailscale, non-Caddy path to every node + each lockout-critical CT (headscale, Authentik CT105, Caddy, Forgejo CT103); confirm PVE/Proxmox web auth is PAM/local not Authentik | None (read-only) | Log into Contabo/PVE console; `pct enter` 105/106/107; confirm LAN `192.168.1.x` SSH; locate break-glass creds in `.ref/credentials`; TEST Authentik akadmin + each app local-admin fallback | Every node + CT shell reachable WITHOUT Authentik/headscale/Caddy; akadmin login screenshotted | N/A | FIRST Phase 0 step; gates everything mutating | | 0 | Per-node free space + snapshot backend | `pvesm status` + `df -h` on data/utility/cloud/media/toc/edge2; record backend (LVM-thin/ZFS/dir-qcow2) + failure mode; size vs largest guests | None | Read-only; set numeric rule: never snapshot below ~20% free, require ≥2× write-delta | Free GB recorded per pool; cloud node measured; vzdump target located | N/A | Precedes all snapshot-bearing steps | | 0 | `data` host — disk remediation (92% full, ~73 GB) | Free space sized to largest planned snapshot (VM1130) | None (cleanup; confirm deletions are cache/backup not live) | Prune stale vzdump/snapshots/ISO; `docker image prune` on recon-vm (keep `nominatim:4.5`) | Usage <~85% on snapshot-backing storage; test snapshot succeeds then removed | Restore from Forge/Syncthing/backup if a needed file removed | Free-space capture; BLOCKS data host step + canary use | | 0 | Off-host restorable backups (stateful guests) | Verify last-good vzdump/PBS off the node for central, OTS, forgejo, matrix, nextcloud, edge2 livesync CouchDB | N/A | Read-only verification + on-demand `pg_dump`/app backup copied off-host | ≥1 backup off the changing node, restore-testable | N/A | Precedes all mutating stateful steps | | 0 | Baseline HEALTH capture (all targets) | Record up/down, container states, endpoint 200s, `apt upgradable`/security counts; note oddities | None | `pct/qm status`, `docker ps`, curl probes, `apt list --upgradable` | Baseline recorded; oddities logged (jellyseerr dev tag, CT108 stopped, nominatim pin, CT118 rpcbind) | N/A | Precedes Phase 1 | | 0 | Decision gates | Close daemon-restart tolerance sign-off (Open Dec #7); verify post-cutoff CVE claims vs primary advisories w/ owner+URL; resolve edge2 kernel question (uname -r vs repo availability); define+announce Boise maintenance windows with user-facing blip list | None | Read-only / sign-off | Each decision recorded before Phase 1/2/3 can start | N/A | Gates Phase 1/2/3 | | 0 | ~~edge2 CT108 mailcow~~ | ✅ **DONE — destroyed 2026-06-20** (`pct destroy 108 --purge`); backup durable on pi-nas (sha256-verified); edge1 confirmed serving mail | N/A | N/A | CT108 purged; edge1 mail in+out confirmed | N/A | Complete | | 0 | edge2 host kernel CVE question | Decide if DirtyFrag/copy.fail require a reboot | None (record `pveversion -v`) | Compare installed proxmox-kernel vs verified-advisory fixed versions; escalate if no-sub repo lacks fix (no repo changes w/o approval) | Decision (reboot yes/no) recorded | N/A | Gates edge2 Phase 3 row | | 1 | Procedure canary — utility CT112 cobalt (idle) or CT102 searxng | Prove apt→snapshot→security upgrade→needrestart→verify on low-stakes guest | `pct snapshot` pre-phase1 | `apt-get update`; security pocket only; `needrestart -r l` then deliberate | Security-upgradable=0; service healthy; needrestart clear | `pct rollback` | Phase 0; runs BEFORE worst-first guests | | 1 | utility CT119 mesh-territory (179/91, never patched) | Security-pocket apt | `pct snapshot 119` | `pct exec`; security pocket; `needrestart -r a` | sec count=0; meshwars up | rollback snapshot | After canary | | 1 | utility CT108 meshai (109/79) | Security-pocket apt | `pct snapshot 108` | `pct exec`; security pocket; needrestart | sec=0; meshai up | rollback snapshot | After canary | | 1 | utility CT104 central (PG16 16.13→16.14 + NATS/JetStream) | Security apt incl.

Every Phase 3 reboot is gated on `pvecm status` (Quorate:Yes, expected votes=5); ONE node at a time; confirm 5/5 rejoin before next. - **toc coupling.** toc is the 5th cluster vote + GPU host for cortex VM150 + the management/Claude Code host. toc+cortex are the FINAL Phase 3 action, alone — never overlap another node reboot. - **Headscale topology (resolved).** Main fleet tailnet (34 nodes, ControlURL `vpn.echo6.co`) = edge2 CT107 (Headscale 0.28.0) — HIGH lockout risk; upgrade LAST, drive from out-of-band. Separate IdahoMesh sub-tailnet (`vpn.idahomesh.com`, 3 nodes) = utility CT106 — low risk; upgrade FIRST as rehearsal. No routing through old-Contabo. ### Top risks (critical first) 1. **Headscale edge2 CT107 self-lockout** (CRITICAL) — upgrading the main tailnet over the tailnet itself loses the control path to 34 nodes. Mitigation: out-of-band only (edge2 host console / direct SSH 184.174.35.153), key-expiry extended, DB dumped off-tailnet, boot chain verified. 2. **Corosync quorum loss** (CRITICAL) — two nodes down simultaneously = quorum lost, `/etc/pve` read-only fleet-wide. Mitigation: one node at a time, `pvecm status` gated before each, HA disabled during window. 3. **Authentik SSO migration chain** (CRITICAL) — 4-hop irreversible Django migration sequence; a failed hop with no per-hop pg_dump can strand the entire SSO surface. Mitigation: pg_dump per hop, verified-login gate, break-glass proven before starting. 4. **data node snapshot-space exhaustion** (CRITICAL) — 92% full; a snapshot failure mid-upgrade leaves the guest in a half-upgraded, unrollbackable state. Mitigation: disk remediated to <85% before any snapshot on that node; do not use as Phase 3 canary until resolved. 5. **RabbitMQ EOL/won't-boot** (HIGH) — 3.12→4.x direct jump refuses to start; 3.x has no security backports. Mitigation: staged hops (3.12→3.13.x→feature-flags→4.x), decoupled from OTS updater. 6. **Forward-only DB migrations / false-rollback assumption** (HIGH) — "redeploy previous image tag" is NOT a valid rollback for authentik, forgejo, nextcloud, peertube, immich after a migration runs. Rollback = quiesced logical dump + old binary together. 7. **toc reboot drops cortex + management host** (HIGH) — cortex is the Claude Code host; losing it during diagnosis is double-jeopardy. Mitigation: alternate control point tested before window; cortex NVIDIA/DKMS verified before toc reboot; toc+cortex done last and alone. 8. **pi-nas non-boot after combined kernel+OMV change** (HIGH) — RPi has no remote KVM; a bad combined update requires on-site SD reflash. Mitigation: two separate reboots (OMV first, kernel second); retain 6.12; `/boot`+`/boot/firmware` backed up; physical access confirmed before each. --- ## Full Inventory Complete point-in-time state of every node, guest, and container service. ### data (PVE 9.1.1) - Host: 126 upgradable / 51 security; no Docker installed; roles: NAS, NFS, Samba - **VM1130 recon-vm** (Ubuntu 24.04) — 34 upgradable / 10 security - PostgreSQL 16.14 (DBs: overture, padus), photon, kiwix, recon.py, 7x navi-backend, nginx, Apache, Samba - Docker: valhalla:latest, nominatim:4.5 (stale 14 months), zimit:latest (not running) ### utility (PVE 9.1.1) - Host: 148 upgradable / 38 security; PVE 9.2 platform update pending; 12 LXC guests | CT | Name | Upgradable / Sec | Services | |----|------|-----------------|----------| | CT100 | meshmonitor | 62 / 15 | ghcr.io/yeraze/meshmonitor:latest | | CT101 | caddy (home ingress) | 59 / 18 | — | | CT102 | searxng | 54 / 15 | searxng/searxng:latest + valkey/valkey:8-alpine | | CT103 | argus | 29 / 26 | RF capture / transcribe / viewer | | CT104 | central | 50 / 38 | PostgreSQL 16 + NATS/MQTT/JetStream | | CT106 | meshtastic-hs | 54 / 17 | headscale control plane | | CT107 | mesh-bridge | 53 / 15 | dual tailscaled | | CT108 | meshai | 109 / 79 | work-meshai local build | | CT109 | opentakserver | 34 / 31 | nginx / PG16 / rabbitmq / mumble / mediamtx / CoT | | CT112 | cobalt | 35 / 29 | build/CI (idle) | | CT118 | archivist | 62 / 17 | archivist + rpcbind (FLAG: port 111 on 0.0.0.0) | | CT119 | mesh-territory | 179 / 91 | meshwars:latest (never patched) | ### cloud (PVE 9.1.1) - Host: 113 upgradable / 38 security; 2 LXC guests | CT | Name | Upgradable / Sec | Services | |----|------|-----------------|----------| | CT120 | immich | 191 / 101 | immich_server, immich_machine_learning, valkey/valkey:9, immich postgres (14-vectorchord) — all drifted | | CT121 | nextcloud AIO | 98 / 75 | 12 containers: mastercontainer + apache + nextcloud + postgresql + redis + collabora + clamav + imaginary + fulltextsearch + notify-push + whiteboard + docker-socket-proxy; NC 32.0.4; mastercontainer behind | ### media (PVE 9.1.1) - Host: 107 upgradable / 36 security; 3 guests | Guest | Name | Upgradable / Sec | Services | |-------|------|-----------------|----------| | VM105 | arr | 43 / 9 (Ubuntu 24.04) | jellyfin / sonarr / radarr / prowlarr / sabnzbd / lidarr / navidrome / jellyseerr (preview-OIDC) all :latest + Samba | | CT110 | peertube | 81 / 37 | v8.0.2; nginx / PG16 / redis / peertube / pt-downloader + importer + monitor / nordvpn | | CT111 | mcc | 51 / 13 | caddy + postfix | ### toc (PVE 9.1.1) — PROTECTED - Host: 189 upgradable / 43 security; PVE 9.2 platform update pending; reboot required - Hosts only VM150 cortex — coordinate any toc work with cortex maintenance window ### cortex (VM150, Ubuntu 24.04) — PROTECTED GPU / Claude Code host - 90 apt upgradable - NVIDIA driver 580.159 → 580.167 + DKMS (reboot required) - nvidia-container-toolkit 1.18 → 1.19 - Docker: ollama / tei 1.7 / qdrant / open-webui / obsidian — all drifted ### pi-nas (Debian 13, arm64, RPi + OMV) - 130 apt upgradable; kernel 6.12 → 6.18 (reboot required); OMV 8.1 → 8.4 - Docker engine installed; 0 containers running ### edge2 (PVE 8.4.19) — Host Fully Patched - 8 LXC guests (CT108 mailcow decommissioned 2026-06-20) | CT | Name | Services / Status | |----|------|-------------------| | CT100 | pdm | PDM 1.1.4, current (native) | | CT101 | wordpress | Apache 2.4.67 / PHP 8.4 / MariaDB 11.8.6 / WP core 7.0 — plugin/theme status needs WP-CLI (**superseded 2026-07-17 — migrated to Grav CMS, MariaDB removed; see topology note above**) | | CT102 | vaultwarden | vaultwarden/server:latest — drift indeterminate | | CT103 | forgejo | 14.0.5 (forgejo:14 + postgres:16-alpine drifted) | | CT104 | livesync | couchdb:3.4 drifted + local provisioner | | CT105 | authentik | 2025.12.4 (server/worker/postgres) → upgrade to 2026.2.0 | | CT106 | matrix | Synapse 1.155.0 / Element / MAS + [[mautrix_signal]] + postgres; OS apt security updates pending; no Tailscale client | | CT107 | headscale | 0.28.0 → 0.29.0 + headplane; no Tailscale client | | ~~CT108~~ | ~~mailcow~~ | **Decommissioned 2026-06-20** — destroyed (`pct destroy 108 --purge`); superseded by edge1, backup on pi-nas | --- ## Coverage Notes - **Complete:** all five PVE-9 nodes (data, utility, cloud, media, toc), edge2, cortex, pi-nas, and all discovered guests/containers. - **Excluded:** edge1 (the rebuilt ex-Contabo, mail-only) — mid-rebuild/maintenance at time of audit; re-audit once it settles. - **Incomplete:** WordPress (CT101) plugin and theme status — requires WP-CLI; not assessed.
