Implement scale-down/backup/scale-up pattern to work around PVC access mode limitation. Changes: - Add RBAC (ServiceAccount, Role, RoleBinding) with statefulsets/scale and pods permissions - Switch to alpine:3.19 base image with kubectl and restic - Scale down StatefulSet to 0 replicas before backup - Run restic backup while pod is stopped - Scale back up to 1 replica with error handling - Add cleanup trap to ensure scale-up even on failure - Set 10-minute timeout and backoff limit Tested successfully: backup completes in ~32 seconds with minimal downtime.

Purpose
This repository serves as the central source of truth for all deployment configurations targeting the basicstack.de Kubernetes cluster. It follows GitOps principles where infrastructure and application state is declaratively defined and version-controlled.
Directory Details
apps/
Contains deployment configurations for individual applications and services running on the cluster. Each application should have its own subdirectory with:
- Kubernetes manifests (Deployments, StatefulSets, Services, etc.)
- Helm values files
- Configuration files
- Application-specific documentation
Example: The stalwart/ directory contains the complete deployment configuration for the Stalwart mail server, including multiple deployment variants, monitoring setup, and operational guides.
infrastructure/
Contains cluster-wide infrastructure configurations:
- networking/: Ingress controllers, network policies, DNS configurations, load balancers
- monitoring/: Prometheus, Grafana, logging infrastructure, observability tools
docs/
General documentation including:
- Deployment procedures
- Cluster architecture
- Troubleshooting guides
- Best practices
Getting Started
- Clone this repository
- Review the example Stalwart deployment in
apps/stalwart/ - Follow the pattern for new application deployments
- Ensure all manifests are tested before committing
Contributing
All changes should be:
- Committed with clear, descriptive messages
- Tested in a development environment when possible
- Documented appropriately
- Reviewed before deployment to production
Cluster Information
- Cluster: basicstack.de
- Platform: K3s on Hetzner Cloud
- Namespace Strategy: One namespace per application (recommended)
- Ingress: Traefik (default K3s ingress controller)
