# 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). The `CLAUDE.md` cheat-sheet still lists the old Contabo layout and is **stale** — refreshing it is a follow-up task (see Open Decisions).

## 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). Address before any platform work.

| Host | Guest | Upgradable / Security | Notes |
|------|-------|-----------------------|-------|
| utility | CT119 mesh-territory | 179 / 91 sec | Never patched |
| utility | CT108 meshai | 109 / 79 | — |
| cloud | CT120 immich guest-OS | 191 / 101 | — |
| cloud | CT121 nextcloud guest-OS | 98 / 75 | — |
| media | CT110 peertube | 81 / 37 | — |
| utility | CT109 opentakserver | 34 / 31 | — |
| utility | CT104 central | 50 / 38 | Includes PostgreSQL 16.13 → 16.14 |

### Tier 2 — App / Container Updates

Updates where the application or its Docker images have drifted from current upstream, ordered roughly by operational risk.

| Scope | Guest | Item | Notes |
|-------|-------|------|-------|
| edge2 | CT105 | authentik 2025.12.4 → 2026.2.0 | Sequential upgrade required; read changelogs before applying |
| edge2 | CT107 | headscale 0.28.0 → 0.29.0 | — |
| edge2 | CT103 | forgejo:14 + postgres:16-alpine | Docker image drift |
| edge2 | CT106 | Synapse 1.155.0 / Element / MAS | Image drift + pending OS apt security updates |
| edge2 | CT104 | livesync couchdb:3.4 | Docker image drift |
| edge2 | CT108 | mailcow (18 containers) | Upgrade via `update.sh` only |
| cloud | CT120 | immich — server/ml/valkey:9/postgres(14-vectorchord) | 4 images drifted |
| cloud | CT121 | nextcloud AIO — mastercontainer + NC app 32.0.4 | Mastercontainer behind; 12-container stack |
| cortex | VM150 | ollama / tei(1.7) / qdrant / open-webui / obsidian | 5 AI containers drifted |
| media | VM105 | arr stack — 8 containers | jellyfin/sonarr/radarr/prowlarr/sabnzbd/lidarr/navidrome/jellyseerr all :latest |

### Tier 3 — Platform / Reboot Windows

Reboot-bearing updates. Coordinate maintenance windows carefully. cortex and toc are PROTECTED hosts.

| Scope | Item | Detail |
|-------|------|--------|
| data, utility, cloud, media, toc (PVE 9 nodes) | PVE 9.1.1 → 9.2 | Reboot required |
| data, utility, cloud, media, toc | QEMU 10 → 11 | Reboot required |
| data, utility, cloud, media, toc | LXC 6 → 7 | Reboot required |
| data, utility, cloud, media, toc | Kernel 6.17.2 → 6.17.13 | Reboot required |
| edge2 | PVE 8.4.19 | Already fully patched — no action needed |
| cortex VM150 (PROTECTED) | NVIDIA driver 580.159 → 580.167 + DKMS | Reboot required |
| cortex VM150 (PROTECTED) | nvidia-container-toolkit 1.18 → 1.19 | — |
| pi-nas | Kernel 6.12 → 6.18 | Reboot required |
| pi-nas | OMV 8.1 → 8.4 | — |

### Cross-Cutting (All / Most Hosts)

| Item | Detail |
|------|--------|
| Tailscale | 1.94 → 1.98 nearly everywhere |
| Docker CE | → 29.6 wherever Docker is installed |

---

## Non-Update Flags

Issues noted that are not package/image updates but warrant attention.

| Host / Guest | Flag | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| data | Disk 92% full | ~73 GB / 938 GB free; address before patching |
| utility CT118 archivist | rpcbind on 0.0.0.0:111 | No Tailscale client or firewall on this CT; exposed port |
| media VM105 jellyseerr | Non-stable image | Running preview-OIDC tag, not a stable release |
| data VM1130 nominatim | Stale image (14 months) | nominatim:4.5, pinned; confirm intentional |
| edge2 CT106 matrix / CT107 headscale | No Tailscale client | Ingress via Caddy; verify internal routing before patching |

---

## Proposed Patch Approach (NOT executed — for planning)

Lowest-risk changes first; everything reboot-bearing deferred to scheduled windows.

**Principles**
- **Security-pocket apt only** in the first pass (openssl, openssh, gnutls, krb5, libc6, samba, nghttp2, etc.). 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 CT100–108 | 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 | See "special handling" below — not a generic `docker pull`. |
| **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** | Schedule deliberately; toc+cortex coordinated. |
| **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) → `./update.sh` (upgrades all 18 components in lockstep)
- **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 (for tomorrow's plan)

1. **Phase 1 scope** — all non-protected guests at once, or staged worst-first?
2. **Phase 2** — patch the four hypervisor host OSes now (no reboot), or fold into the Phase 4 reboot window?
3. **Reboot-window scheduling** — order of the 5 PVE-9 nodes; **toc + cortex must be done together** (toc reboot drops cortex). edge2 needs none.
4. **Tier-2 app upgrades** — which to take on: authentik major (2025→2026, migration-heavy), Matrix/Synapse, Forgejo, headscale 0.29, mailcow. Each is its own task.
5. **data disk at 92%** — remediate before/independently of patching (operational risk regardless).
6. **CT118 archivist** rpcbind on `0.0.0.0:111` with no Tailscale/firewall — treat as a separate exposure fix.
7. **Refresh the stale `CLAUDE.md` cheat-sheet** to the edge1/edge2 topology — separate doc task.
8. **Daemon-restart tolerance** — confirm brief blips are acceptable for the stateful services (central PG16/NATS, opentakserver, peertube) during Phase 1/2.

## 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.
- **Method:** read-only throughout — SSH / `pct exec`, `apt list --upgradable`, `docker manifest inspect` for same-tag drift. Floating/pinned-tag caveats noted inline where drift could not be confirmed.
