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).

Summarize CLAUDE.md updates:
- Document both live GKE clusters as e2-standard-2 x3 in us-west3 and note stale app default in code.
- Call out DB cluster naming mismatch between conf (knoe-dev-cnpg-0) and code default (knoe-cnpg-0).
- Add SSD quota guidance: 300GB fully consumed by CNPG, so non-CNPG PVCs must use standard/pd-standard.
- Refresh reset script reference and quota section details to match current runtime state.

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.

- Add ssl_hosts group and prole_ssl role to deploy registry cert/key to /etc/ssl/certs/prole
- Configure k8s registry deployment to serve HTTPS using mounted host certs
- Switch k3s/containerd registry mirror config to https:// and prefer HTTPS checks with HTTP fallback

ArgoCD IO load distribution: Updated k8s/argocd/install.yaml to use hostPath volumes for application-controller (/prole/d001), redis (/prole/d002), and repo-server (/prole/d003). Updated Ansible configure task to create hostPath directories on myrddin.prole.org.
K3s configuration and testing: Added test playbooks for kubeconfig rewriting and argument validation. Updated K3s install, configure, and image import tasks. Configured required mounts and host-specific variables for myrddin.prole.org.
Miscellaneous: Updated conf/prole.cfg with K3S_TOKEN. Bumped prole-db version and updated recovery manifest templates. Minor UI adjustments in cluster screen.

- 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.
- infrastructure/playbooks/prole_logs_migrate.yml: Orchestrates /prole/logs migration to iSCSI storage.
- infrastructure/playbooks/tmp_bao_dir.yml: Ensures host-level storage directories for OpenBao.
- infrastructure/playbooks/tmp_mount.yml: Utility to verify and enforce host-level mounts.
- infrastructure/playbooks/k3s_sync.yml: Added tasks to start K3s after sync and update local kubeconfig on the controller.
- Added 'Unmount stale iSCSI mounts' and 'Remove stale iSCSI fstab entries' to the iscsi role.
- Added 'Ensure prole-installer service account exists' to the k3s role.
- Consolidated and split initialization scripts in etc/:
- Removed init_prole-db.sh and init_authority.sh.
- Added init_kdc.sh for in-cluster MIT Kerberos KDC (prole-authority).
- Added init_ollama.sh for Ollama AI service integration.
- Added init_service_layer.sh for high-level service orchestration.
- Added init_k3s_registry.sh for private registry management.
- Major updates to install.py:
- Support for new Ollama and KDC configuration.
- Improved prole.cfg rendering and namespace handling.
- Updated unattended install flags.
- Infrastructure and Deployment:
- Updated K3s Ansible role with private registry support (registries.yaml template).
- Added prole-authority Dockerfile.
- Updated OpenBao Kerberos ConfigMap and other K8s manifests.
- Configuration:
- Updated prole.cfg with new sections for Ollama and Monitoring.
- Refined environment variable exports in env.sh and prole_cfg.sh.
