CTO Agent ef62dde67c feat(observability): wire node-exporter textfile collector for backup metrics (DEV-494)
Turns the four monitoring backup CronJobs' .prom output into scrapeable
Prometheus series so the DEV-490 alerts finally evaluate against live data.

- apps/observability/patches/node-exporter-textfile-collector.yaml:
  strategic-merge patch on the kube-prometheus-stack node-exporter DS
  that adds `--collector.textfile.directory=/host/textfile_collector`
  and mounts `/var/lib/node_exporter/textfile_collector` read-only.
  Chart isn't tracked in ArgoCD, so we keep the patch under version
  control and re-apply after any helm upgrade (see patches/README.md).
- apps/monitoring/backup-{loki,grafana,k8s-resources,prometheus}-*-cronjob.yaml:
  swap `emptyDir` /metrics for a `hostPath` on the same directory
  (`DirectoryOrCreate`). Write via `.prom.tmp` + `mv` so node-exporter
  never reads a truncated sample.
- apps/monitoring/backup-restic-alerts.yaml: `time() - max(...) > 28h`
  for all four freshness alerts so a stale `.prom` left on a node the
  job has since left does not fire the freshness pager.
- apps/monitoring/README.md: drop the "once wired" caveat; document
  the on-node directory, atomic write, cross-node staleness rationale.

Verified end-to-end with a synthetic `kubectl create job
--from=cronjob/backup-k8s-resources`: pod ran on k3s-worker-4,
.prom file materialized in /var/lib/node_exporter/textfile_collector,
and Prometheus returned all four metric families
(`backup_k8s_resources_success=1`, `..._timestamp_seconds`,
`..._check_status=0`, `restic_repo_size_bytes{repo="k8s-resources"}=13692516`).
`time() - max(backup_k8s_resources_timestamp_seconds)` returned ~84s
against a fresh run. `promtool check rules` + `promtool test rules`
still pass (9 rules, 5 scenarios).

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:

  1. app-<name>.yaml: ArgoCD Application manifest that tells ArgoCD to sync the app subdirectory
  2. <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

  1. Create a new directory: apps/<application-name>/
  2. Add your Kubernetes manifests
  3. Include a README.md explaining:
    • What the application does
    • How to deploy it
    • Configuration options
    • Troubleshooting steps
  4. Test the deployment in a dev environment
  5. 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
