CTO Agent 34350a03bf os-update: exclude all control-plane nodes by role, not just cp-1 (DEV-513)
Since DEV-510 landed HA control plane (2026-08-22), the cluster runs cp-1
plus cp-2/cp-3. The previous exclusion in os-update.sh matched `k3s-cp-1`
by hard-coded name only, which would have caused cp-2 and cp-3 to be
treated as regular fsn1 workers and drained/rebooted without the
CP-specific procedure.

Fix: select the CP list from `kubectl get nodes -l
node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane` and skip any of those nodes. This
covers all present and future CPs automatically.

Also updated OS_UPDATE_PROCEDURE.md topology table and order rule to
document that all three CPs exist and are excluded from the weekly
cycle. The HA-aware CP OS-update procedure is a separate follow-up.

Verified on the current cluster:
  [plan] EXCLUDING control-plane nodes: k3s-cp-1 k3s-cp-2 k3s-cp-3
  [plan] ordered nodes (6): k3s-worker-4 k3s-update-runner k3s-worker-1
                            k3s-worker-2 k3s-worker-3 k3s-worker-5

OS Update Automation

Scripts that implement the weekly rolling Ubuntu OS-update procedure.

Authoritative doc: ../../OS_UPDATE_PROCEDURE.md — read it first. The scripts here mirror that procedure step-for-step.

Files

Script Purpose
cluster-health.sh Non-zero if any node is not Ready, any pod is not Running/Ready, or any Deployment/StatefulSet is below its desired replica count. Used at preflight and after each node.
update-node.sh <node> Drain, apt-update, reboot-if-required, wait for Ready, ensure Docker on labeled nodes, uncordon, post-node health check. Retriable per-node.
ensure-node-docker.sh <node> Idempotent: on nodes labeled basicstack.de/docker=true, install docker.io if missing, apt-mark manual, enable+start the docker service, wait for /var/run/docker.sock, re-apply the label. No-op on nodes without the label. Called from update-node.sh between "kubelet Ready" and "uncordon"; also runnable ad-hoc for recovery.
os-update.sh Full cycle runner: preflight → etcd snapshot → ordered per-node loop → finalization + apt history digest.

Order of operations (encoded in os-update.sh)

  1. Workers with no stateful affinity concerns first.
  2. fsn1 workers (potential Stalwart hosts) last among workers — see stalwart-datacenter-affinity note.
  3. k3s-cp-1 last (single control plane).
  4. One node at a time. Never in parallel.

Guardrails the scripts enforce

  • Preflight cluster health failure → refuse to start.
  • Drain with a PDB conflict → uncordon and mark the node SKIPPED_DRAIN_FAILED, never --force.
  • Node reboot fails to come back within timeout → hard stop, escalate. Do NOT rebuild the node or touch k3s config.
  • kubelet doesn't return Ready → hard stop, escalate. Do NOT touch k3s config.
  • Post-node cluster health check red → hard stop, do not proceed to the next node.
  • Absolute rule: no k3s config, no manifests, no PVs, no service files touched — apt/dpkg only.

Typical invocations

# Dry-run: print the ordered plan, touch nothing.
./os-update.sh --dry-run

# Full cycle (weekly, triggered by the Paperclip routine).
./os-update.sh

# Retry a single node (after fixing a manual issue).
./update-node.sh k3s-worker-3

# Restart a partial cycle from a specific node onward.
./os-update.sh --start-from k3s-worker-4

# Ad-hoc: reconcile Docker on a single node (e.g. after emergency ops).
./ensure-node-docker.sh k3s-worker-3

Logs land in /tmp/os-update-<UTC-timestamp>/ on the machine that ran the cycle.
