knoe-db deploys cluster-native (mode k3d for local dev, k8s for the
shared company cluster, k3s still supported for individual homelab
collaborators via conf/k3s.cfg). The ansible-managed distributed cluster
of prole.org machines is no longer the target topology, and the Ansible
inventory in this tree targets only the original author's specific hosts
(merlin/gandalf/myrddin/pi/raspberry/retropie.prole.org). It is neither
portable nor useful for the new deployment shape.
Removed:
- infrastructure/inventory/ (hosts.ini + 7 *.prole.org host_vars)
- infrastructure/playbooks/ (11 playbooks, all hardcoded to *.prole.org)
- infrastructure/roles/ (20 roles: pihole, samba AD DC, mariadb,
netplan, iscsi, prole_ssl, etc. -- all
tied to the bare-metal prole.org topology)
- infrastructure/setup/ (cr_ansible_user.sh, cr_samba_family_users.sh,
filesystem.txt -- prole.org bootstrap)
- infrastructure/deployments/svc-check-helm/
(legacy; etc/init_kong.sh already tears
down svc-check resources on every run)
- infrastructure/ansible.cfg (references deleted inventory)
- ansible.cfg, ansible.sh, ansible_min.cfg, ansible_recovery.log (root;
orphaned without inventory)
- vault_backup/ (ansible-vault encrypted prole.org secrets
backup: ad_dc_vault.yml, all_prole_vault.yml,
iscsi_vault.yml)
- tools/ (dashboard.sh, ghcr_docker_login.sh,
k3s-cluster-rename.sh, manage-node.sh,
export_mariadb_synology.sh,
prepare_mariadb_usb.sh, and a dumped
synology.prole.org mariadb .sql file --
all prole.org-era deployment helpers)
Kept: scripts/ (cluster ops), bin/ (prole-env.sh, prole-kpf.sh dev
shims), conf/k3s.cfg / conf/k3d.cfg (still supported modes; any
*.prole.org defaults in those files are legitimate mode fallbacks for
collaborators who keep running their own k3s/k3d setups). Test
fixtures referencing *.prole.org hostnames are left as-is (regression
data).

## GCP / Cluster Environment Screen
- Auto-populate Cloud tab from conf/prod/gcp.cfg on screen open (org_id,
billing_account, billing_project, project_id)
- gcloud auth validity checked on screen startup; friendly modal dialog
streams gcloud auth login output live so user never leaves the app
- Live GKE cluster browser: fetches clusters via gcloud container clusters
list, displays with checkmark selector, auto-selects saved cluster
- Selecting a cluster runs get-credentials, sets KUBECONFIG/KUBECONTEXT,
and syncs the region dropdown to the selected cluster's location
- Region dropdown populated live from gcloud compute regions list with
checkmark on currently selected region; graceful fallback when offline
- New 'GCP Storage' tab with workload->StorageClass mapping (CNPG->premium-rwo,
Redis/Monitoring->standard-rwo, Garage->garage-hdd) and Fetch from Cluster
- Provider readonly field styled correctly (no solid-black on macOS)
- Stale prole.cfg/conf/prole.cfg symlinks removed; all config I/O now
resolves env-specific paths via prole_conf.entrypoint_path()
## GKE Autopilot Compatibility (Common Services)
- Synology iSCSI StorageClass and static PVs guarded behind PROLE_MODE!=k8s
in init_openbao.sh (GKE Autopilot forbids hostPath/iSCSI volumes)
- In-cluster Docker registry (hostPath) skipped in k8s mode; GCP Artifact
Registry used instead
- Kong renamed knoe-svc-kong in k8s mode; all health-check kubectl calls in
init_common_services.sh and status_common_services.sh updated accordingly
- DNS endpoints switched from *.prole.org to *.knoe.dev in k8s mode
(api.knoe.dev, git.knoe.dev, svc.knoe.dev); ingress uses gce class
- New GKE-clean Kong manifests under deploy/opentofu/k8s/manifests/prole/:
no k3s node affinity, explicit Autopilot resource requests/limits
## Garage S3 Store (GKE)
- New garage-statefulset-gcp.yaml targeting garage-hdd StorageClass
(pd-standard, avoids SSD_TOTAL_GB quota exhaustion in us-west3)
- New storageclass-gcp-hdd.yaml (pd-standard, Retain, WaitForFirstConsumer)
- GCP StorageClass manifests skipped on re-runs (Autopilot built-ins are
immutable; skip-if-exists guard added)
- PVC deletion guard extended to cover any storageClass (not just synology)
so stale claims are cleaned before StatefulSet recreation
## Topology (GKE Autopilot)
- DaemonSet collector skipped in prod mode (forbidden in kube-system by
GKE Warden); Kubernetes-only node facts path used instead
- All ready GKE nodes assumed cnpg-eligible and monitoring-eligible without
taint/synology-mount checks (skip_collector + assume_nodes_eligible flags)
## KUBECONFIG / kubectl (k8s mode)
- actions.py: new elif mode==k8s branch sets KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/config
and injects KUBECONTEXT from prole_cfg_data into script env
- _build_kubectl_cmd falls back to Global.KUBECONTEXT when
init_cluster.selected_kubectx is empty
- _activate_selected_gke_cluster persists KUBECONFIG/KUBECONTEXT to
prole_cfg_data and saves prole.cfg immediately after get-credentials
## Database Build Screen (GKE)
- Registry display shows correct Artifact Registry URL
(<region>-docker.pkg.dev/<project>/<namespace>/knoe-db) in green
- Build+push: gcloud auth configure-docker, auto-creates AR repository
named after SERVICE_NAMESPACE (e.g. knoe-system) if missing, then
docker tag + push; falls back to gcr.io if region unavailable
- GCP config loaded from conf/prod/gcp.cfg on every screen entry;
keys normalised to lowercase so project_id lookup is always consistent
## Config / Namespace persistence
- prole_conf.py activate_environment: symlink creation removed; sets
CLUSTER_ENV env-var so all subsequent calls resolve correct env directory
- knoe/ui/screens/__init__.py: startup config load uses entrypoint_path()
instead of hardcoded conf/prole.cfg; seeds SERVICE_NAMESPACE=knoe-system
for managed envs so Common Services never defaults to 'default'
- cfg.py _save_prole_cfg: saves to env-specific path via entrypoint_path()
- etc/prole_cfg.sh: removed all ln -snf symlink creation

- Rename host mount namespace from /prole/d00x to /synology/d00x
- Make LUN ownership explicit per host in inventory (myrddin=d001; merlin=d002,d004; pi=d003)
- Add safe migration cleanup for legacy /prole/d00x mounts and stale /etc/fstab entries
- Update k3s/ArgoCD/OpenTofu manifests and PV node affinities to match new mount paths
- Improve iSCSI role check-mode behavior and add quiesce/detach flow in ansible.sh
Prefer infra-managed manifests for bootstrap; reconcile CNPG instances based on Ready+schedulable labeled db nodes; update manifests to use node-role affinity + anti-affinity; add policy/tests and config touch-ups (incl. prole.cfg).
Update inventory/roles to keep K3s state on local storage and prevent iSCSI from managing /var/lib/rancher.
Also add a single-host k3s install playbook, a systemd override template, and docs describing the installer ↔ Ansible boundary and slow-storage knobs.

- Ensure dashboard service doesn't create an ordering cycle with `multi-user.target`.
- Verify service safely attaches to a virtual terminal (VT) and passes VT to Xorg.
- Ensure no `su` usage by default in the service.
- Validate script behavior for passing VT and `-keeptty` options to Xorg.
chore(dashboard): update systemd unit to avoid VT conflicts and improve logging
- Remove `After` and `Wants` directives for `multi-user.target` to prevent conflicts.
- Add `TTYPath`, `StandardInput`, and related options for VT attachment.
- Ensure `ExecStopPost` restores getty service for the dashboard VT.
fix(dashboard): improve Xorg resolution and clean up script logic
- Dynamically determine Xorg executable location in `dashboard.sh`.
- Pass VT, display, and `-keeptty` to Xorg to improve script reliability.
fix(mariadb): correct exFAT mount options for external storage
- Avoid `chown` failures by setting root ownership with group access for `mysql`.
- Update external mount options to `uid=0,gid=mysql,umask=0002`.
cleanup(mariadb): remove unnecessary owner/group permissions from migration marker task
- Enable mounting borrowed USB disk (exFAT) persistently at `/external`.
- Migrate MariaDB datadir to `/external/mariadb` with bind mount at `/srv/mariadb/mariadb`.
- Add migration marker and rollback support to prevent accidental remigration.
- Include Ansible tasks for external storage setup and migration validation.
- Added tasks and playbooks for K3s datastore export/import using MariaDB Tools role, with associated tests and defaults.
- Enhanced iSCSI role to support mkfs-once logic and safer re-initialization of block storage.
- Migrated iSCSI-backed Rancher data from retropie to merlin.prole.org.
- Updated k3s roles/playbooks to relax Rancher storage preflight checks, supporting PARTUUID-based mounts.
- Adjusted Samba AD NetBIOS name derivation to use uppercase short hostname by default.
- Incremented prole DB version to 104, updated generated prole.cfg, inventory, and recovery manifest templates.
