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).

- Tighten Cluster Environment screen layout; switch Service/Prod to kubectx context selection; keep namespace and key controls on one line; ensure Repair button remains reachable.
- Add UI layout regression test to render with large mock data and assert key widgets remain visible and console is scrollable.
- Make kubeconfig generation deterministic under tests by avoiding overwriting cert-based kubeconfigs; write token sidecar kubeconfig when needed.
- Update common-services init scripts and add k3s/Helm deployment bits (svc-check, Kong/CertMgr tasks).
- Refactor k3s/kube_config.sh to fetch remote kubeconfig and configure local context.
- Add Ansible task svc_check.yml to deploy a status site via Kong and cert-manager.
- Include svc_check.yml in k3s role's main tasks.
- 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.
- Fixed YAML syntax and Python version parsing in CNPG operator tasks.
- Added automated detection of active network interface (eth0 vs wlan0) for Retropie and Pi nodes to ensure correct K3s configuration.
- Implemented persistent node taints for retropie.prole.org to exclude CloudNative-PG workloads.
- Added a rollout restart mechanism for cnpg-controller-manager to recover from scheduling on tainted or unstable nodes.
- Removed redundant kubectl-cnpg dependency from the Python installer as it is now managed by Ansible.
- Improved prole.sh to force color output for Ansible playbooks.
- Updated prole.cfg with active K3s token and CNPG version information.
- Prevent connmand from flapping routes by ignoring veth* and cni0 interfaces
- Ensure wlan0 maintains routing priority over eth0 on Retropie and Pi nodes
- Increase image pull retries and delay to improve resilience against transient network instability
- Implement proactive CA hash verification and automated repair for mismatches
- Ensure agents prioritize discovered server tokens over stale vault values
- Fix K3s service hangs with explicit stop and killall before reinstall
- Add Retropie/Pi networking fixes (WiFi power save, wlan0 priority)
- Pin pre-staged images to stable, architecture-aware versions (arm64)
- Remove obsolete init-port-forwards and prole.cfg sync tasks
- Update k8s manifests and installer core logic with new tests
Repairs and improvements:
- iSCSI: Added cleanup tasks to remove stale mounts and fstab entries. Improved robustness of iSCSI target management and added 'iscsi_absent_mounts' support.
- K3s:
- Updated service start logic to accept 'activating' state, preventing premature failure during slow startups.
- Improved service stop logic to safely handle missing or not-found services.
- Ensured 'prole-installer' ServiceAccount and ClusterRoleBinding exist for K8s administration.
- Added leader election and etcd tuning arguments (forgiving leases) to config.yaml.j2.
- Removed deprecated 'prole-port-forwards' systemd service.
- Installer & Scripts:
- Updated legacy_tk.py to support K3s mode, secret resolution for passwords, and better environment management (including ~/.prole/env.sh for service mode).
- Updated init_ansible.sh to support PROLE_VAULT_PASS_FILE and ANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE.
- Improved directory and kubeconfig path resolution in prole_cfg.sh to support fallback to ~/.prole.
- Enhanced Grafana password resolution in init_monitoring.sh.
- Added automatic application of iSCSI StorageClass and PersistentVolumes in init_openbao.sh.
- General: Switched conf/prole.cfg to k3s deployment mode and updated vault_k3s.yml token.
New Ansible Tasks and Playbooks:
- infrastructure/playbooks/iscsi_cleanup.yml: Automates logout and removal of stale iSCSI node records.

- Added 'Ensure prole-installer service account exists' to the k3s role.
- Installer: Updated k3s deployment logic and configuration generation.
- k3s Role: Implemented token drift protection to verify Vault secrets against live node tokens.
- DNS: Enhanced samba_reverse_dns role to support multiple reverse zones.
- Service Init: Updated initialization scripts and status reporting.
