The AD DC's smb.conf set no `interfaces` / `bind interfaces only`, so Samba
bound to — and samba_dnsupdate registered into DNS — every interface on the
host. On myrddin that meant the Docker bridge (172.17.0.1) and k3s/flannel
CNI addresses (10.42.0.0, 10.42.0.1) were published as A records for both the
prole.org apex and `myrddin`, alongside the real 10.0.0.3. Clients then
round-robined onto unroutable addresses, producing the long-standing
"resolves, then doesn't" internal DNS flakiness.
Confine Samba to loopback + the LAN service IP:
interfaces = lo 10.0.0.3
bind interfaces only = yes
This scopes both service binding and DNS self-registration to the real
address, so the junk records stop being (re)created on restart.
- smb.conf.j2: emit the two directives, gated on bind-interfaces-only being
enabled AND a non-loopback IP being present (empty -> directives omitted,
never binds loopback-only by accident).
- defaults: samba_ad_dc_lan_ip ("" by default), samba_ad_dc_bind_interfaces_only
(true), samba_ad_dc_interfaces (lo + lan_ip), all documented.
- tasks: assert samba_ad_dc_lan_ip is non-empty before deploying smb.conf
when bind-interfaces-only is on, so a missing value fails fast instead of
rendering the DC unreachable.
- group_vars/ad_dc: set samba_ad_dc_lan_ip=10.0.0.3 (myrddin's LAN address).
Deploying notifies the existing Restart samba-ad-dc handler. Pre-existing junk
records must be deleted once by hand; they will not be re-registered after the
restart. Template rendering verified for both the set and empty-IP cases.

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).

- 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.
- Monitoring: Migrated from manual Grafana/Prometheus manifests to kube-prometheus-stack based setup in etc/init_monitoring.sh. Removed old manifest files from deploy/ and k8s/.
- Installer Core: Refactored installer with new modules for actions, environment handling, and UI screens. Enhanced Milestone logic to support advanced configuration (ArgoCD, Registry namespaces, Kerberos flags, etc.).
- Service & Init Scripts: Updated multiple initialization scripts (init_*.sh) for better integration with OpenBao, Kerberos, and the new monitoring stack. Added new scripts for Nginx Ingress, Ollama parsing, and K3D route fixes.
- Infrastructure: Enhanced Samba AD DC Ansible role with realm derivation, provisioning guidance, and group management. Updated K3s role tasks.
- Configuration: Refined default settings in conf/ to align with the new deployment architecture.
- App & Tools: Updated prole-app Swift code and prole.sh for improved environment variable handling and installation flow.
