The stalwart-backup CronJob has failed nightly since 2026-08-13, all with FailureTarget=DeadlineExceeded. Root cause: the backup pod had no scheduling constraint and got placed on a node different from stalwart-0. The hcloud CSI block volume is RWO and can only be attached to one node, so the backup pod stayed in ContainerCreating with FailedAttachVolume / Multi-Attach until the 600s active deadline killed it. - Add podAffinity requiredDuringScheduling on app=stalwart,statefulset.kubernetes.io/pod-name=stalwart-0 with topology key kubernetes.io/hostname so the backup pod always lands on the same node. Same-node co-location lets both pods share the already-attached block volume; the in-container script then scales stalwart-0 down, backs up, and scales it back up as before. - Raise activeDeadlineSeconds from 600s to 1800s as safety headroom (successful runs are ~86s; the extra budget covers prune growth). Verified: manual run of the patched CronJob completed in 86s and wrote restic snapshot f76f534e (2026-08-15 12:07:30) to s3://basicstack-backup/stalwart. stalwart-0 is back to Ready.

Applications
This directory contains deployment configurations for all applications running on the basicstack.de cluster.
ArgoCD Application Management
Each application has two types of files:
app-<name>.yaml: ArgoCD Application manifest that tells ArgoCD to sync the app subdirectory<name>/: Application-specific Kubernetes manifests and configuration
The app-*.yaml files are synced by ArgoCD and create/manage the corresponding Application resources.
Each application's manifests in its subdirectory are then synced by its Application resource.
Structure
Each application should have its own subdirectory containing:
- Kubernetes manifests: Deployment, StatefulSet, Service, ConfigMap, Secret definitions
- Helm values: If using Helm charts, include values.yaml files
- Configuration files: Application-specific configs (TOML, JSON, YAML)
- Documentation: README or guide specific to the application deployment
- Patches: Any kubectl patches or modifications needed
Example: Stalwart
The stalwart/ directory serves as a reference implementation, containing:
- Multiple deployment variants (basic, with OIDC, etc.)
- Helm values files
- Monitoring dashboard configurations
- Backup/restore procedures
- Operational documentation
Adding a New Application
- Create a new directory:
apps/<application-name>/ - Add your Kubernetes manifests
- Include a README.md explaining:
- What the application does
- How to deploy it
- Configuration options
- Troubleshooting steps
- Test the deployment in a dev environment
- Commit with a descriptive message
Naming Conventions
- Directory names: lowercase, hyphen-separated (e.g.,
my-app) - Manifest files: descriptive names indicating resource type (e.g.,
deployment.yaml,service.yaml) - Use consistent naming across applications
