CTO Agent e848d225cd os-update: generalize CP procedure to HA cp-1/cp-2/cp-3 (DEV-515)
Replaces single-CP CP1_UPDATE_PROCEDURE.md + update-cp-1.sh with an
HA-aware procedure that covers all three CPs. Rationale: after DEV-510
the cluster runs embedded etcd 3.6.12 across cp-1/cp-2/cp-3 and CPs
are NoSchedule-tainted, so:

- Kine cascade is no longer the driving risk; embedded 3-node etcd
  tolerates one member down. The kubectl-latency guardrail stays as a
  soft signal.
- CPs host no StatefulSets or single-replica Deployments. The old
  Phase C batched stateful eviction dance is obsolete.
- CP reboots no longer lose the api-server; two peers keep serving.
  /livez is polled from the operator machine and cross-checked with
  etcdctl endpoint status from a peer CP.

New CP ordering rule: one CP at a time, leader last, health gate
between CPs. Refuses to start if another CP is already cordoned.

Automation:
- New scripts/os-update/update-cp-node.sh <node> is the entry point.
  Supports --add-swap / --preflight / --drain / --apt / --reboot /
  --finalize / --run / --dry-run. Phase A also installs etcd-client
  on cp-2/cp-3 so the etcd-quorum probes work when cp-1 is later the
  target. Peer picker prefers a CP that has etcdctl; refuses cp-1
  target with a targeted error if no other CP has etcdctl yet.
- scripts/os-update/update-cp-1.sh is now a thin wrapper that forwards
  to update-cp-node.sh k3s-cp-1 "$@" for backwards compat.
- CP1_UPDATE_PROCEDURE.md is a redirect stub pointing at the new doc.
- OS_UPDATE_PROCEDURE.md §8 topology block, kine cascade section, and
  automation entry point list all point at the new HA-aware artifacts.

Verified: bash -n clean on both scripts; --dry-run walks all six
phases for each of cp-1/cp-2/cp-3; --preflight against live cluster
correctly aborts cp-1 with "install etcdctl on another CP first" and
cp-2/cp-3 with "run --add-swap first" (their current state).

Execution is board-approval-gated; DEV-497 (cp-1-only executor) is
superseded by a successor ticket.

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

GitOps with Argo CD

This repository is managed via Argo CD, the GitOps deployment platform for the cluster.

All changes pushed to the main branch are automatically synchronized to the cluster. Applications are defined in apps/app-*.yaml files and reference subdirectories for their manifests.

For details on managing applications, repository credentials, troubleshooting, and emergency procedures, see the Argo CD documentation.

Getting Started

  1. Clone this repository
  2. Review the example Stalwart deployment in apps/stalwart/
  3. Follow the pattern for new application deployments
  4. Ensure all manifests are tested before committing
  5. Argo CD will automatically sync changes to the cluster (or use manual sync for critical changes)

Contributing

All changes should be:

  1. Committed with clear, descriptive messages
  2. Tested in a development environment when possible
  3. Documented appropriately
  4. 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)
