claude-bot 803c741362 fix(ci): tag images with a dated literal, not the commit SHA

The SHA tag was a workaround for not being able to compute a date in a
shell-less build step. That problem is gone — the build timestamp now
lives in the image at /etc/image-build-date — so the tag no longer has
to carry it.

A SHA reads as noise at the point of use and breaks the existing
convention every consumer pin follows (ci-k8s:2026-08-10,
ci-ansible:2026-04-29, alpine-jq:2026-07-30). Dated literals keep the
pins uniform and are bumped in the commit that changes an image, which
is the same trigger the `when:` path filters already use.

Completes the pattern across every Containerfile in the repo. ci-claude
was the last one without it.

It was skipped initially over the reproducibility work in a675bf6c, on a
misreading. That commit did not make the whole image reproducible — it
made the npm install layer byte-stable so a rebuild of the same version
dedups in the registry instead of orphaning ~260 MB (#336, #351).

A timestamp added as its own final layer leaves the npm layer untouched,
so that dedup still holds. The cost is a few dozen bytes per build, not
260 MB.

The date was previously computed by `date` in the pipeline step and used
as the image tag, which is why the build step needed a shell and hence
the kaniko debug image.

It does not need to cross between CI steps at all. The base images have
a shell, so a RUN in the Containerfile writes the timestamp during the
build itself — kaniko executes the layer and the value lands in the
image. Nothing has to be propagated, and the build step stays
shell-less.

This also separates two things the tag was conflating: the tag says
which source revision was built, /etc/image-build-date says when.

Placed last so it invalidates only its own layer. secret-rotator writes
it in the rust build stage and copies it across, since its final image
is FROM scratch and has no shell.

Verified against ci/images/alpine-jq:

  $ docker run --rm localtest:jq cat /etc/image-build-date
  2026-08-23T18:56:51Z

Note this makes builds non-reproducible byte-for-byte, which a675bf6c
deliberately arranged for ci-claude. ci-claude is built by
ci-claude-refresh.yml and is not touched here.

claude-bot bbbc42c79f fix(ci): build with the plain kaniko executor instead of the debug image

ci/woodpecker/pr/ci-scripts-test Pipeline was successful

The `-debug` image ships a busybox shell so a failing build can be
inspected. It was being used as the build image because the steps run
shell to assemble registry auth and compute a tag, which is not what
that variant is for.

The plain executor has no shell, so the eight static builds now pass
flags via `entrypoint` and read credentials from DOCKER_CONFIG. A single
registry-auth step writes `.docker/config.json` into the workspace once,
in alpine, where a shell is the intended interface.

Images are tagged `${CI_COMMIT_SHA:0:8}` instead of a build date.
Woodpecker exposes no formatted-date variable — every timestamp built in
is UNIX — and kaniko takes `--destination` only as a literal argument,
with all its file-based flags being outputs. The commit SHA is available
through normal substitution and identifies the source revision the image
was built from, which a build date does not.

Existing dated tags stay in the registry, so the pins that reference
them keep resolving; only newly created tags change format.

Also moves off v1.23.2, picking up the go-git fix for CVE-2025-21613 and
containerd 1.7.18 -> 1.7.27.

ci-claude-refresh.yml keeps its shell step: its destination tag is a
runtime value read from a file written by an earlier step, and the build
is conditionally skipped, neither of which survives a static entrypoint.
Left for #552.

Needs a pipeline run to confirm that substitution applies to
`entrypoint` and `environment` values, and that the auth file written by
registry-auth is visible to the build steps.

Comments should say what the setting does and what constrains it. The
blocks added in #542, #544, #545 and #547 had grown into incident
write-ups: measurement runs, prior values, how a problem was found,
what a check used to be. That belongs in commit messages and the wiki,
both of which already carry it.

Trimmed, no behaviour change:

  cephcluster.yaml       22 lines -> 6   (cephx rotation)
  cephfs-ci.yaml         26 lines -> 7   (why size 2)
  prometheusrule-ceph.yaml                (CephHealthWarn, 43 -> 13;
                                           CephPoolLostRedundancy, 15 -> 7)

The operative facts are kept: which checks are excluded and why they
cannot clear, that POOL_NO_REDUNDANCY reports blocked maintenance and
not only data risk, and that size 1 needs dedicated OSDs.

claude-bot 85996991b6 fix(rook-ceph): raise cephfs-ci to size 2 — size 1 blocks all OSD maintenance
ci/woodpecker/pr/ci-scripts-test Pipeline was successful
ci/woodpecker/pr/ci-manifests-test Pipeline was successful
ci/woodpecker/pr/pr-review Pipeline was successful
The unreplicated CI pools introduced in #542 make every OSD on the
cluster permanently un-restartable.

`ceph osd ok-to-stop` refuses while stopping an OSD would take PGs
offline. A size-1 pool puts every PG on exactly one OSD, so the check
fails for all three:

  Error EBUSY: unsafe to stop osd(s) at this time
               (20 PGs are or would become offline)
  bad_become_inactive: 13.6 13.9 ... 14.1c 14.1d

Pools 13 and 14 are cephfs-ci-metadata and cephfs-ci-data0. The size-2
pools are not implicated — they run min_size 1 and appear under
ok_become_degraded, which is allowed.

Rook gates OSD restarts on that check, so this blocks CephX key
rotation, Ceph upgrades, node drains and reboots, and drive
replacement. It surfaced when #545 deadlocked: Rook retried
ok-to-stop against all three OSDs several times a second and could
never succeed, while `ceph -s` reported 217 pgs active+clean
throughout. Nothing is unhealthy; the restarts are simply refused.

The reasoning in #542 was that unreplicated CI data only risks
in-flight pipelines, since every byte is a fresh git clone. That part
holds. What it missed is that the cost is not scoped to the pool: one
unreplicated pool freezes maintenance for the entire cluster.

Most of #542's saving came from keeping CI churn off `cephfs`, whose
metadataPool is size 3 — that survives this change. Only the second-
order gain from dropping the replica is given up, and cephfs-ci-data0
stores 0 B with cephfs-ci-metadata at 182 MiB, so the backfill is
trivial.

size 1 becomes viable again once these pools sit on OSDs of their own,
where the permanently un-stoppable OSD holds nothing but throwaway
data. That is planned with the retired QLC drives.

Alerting follows the same change:

- POOL_NO_REDUNDANCY is no longer excluded from CephHealthWarn. It was
  excluded because cephfs-ci was expected to keep it permanently
  active; no pool is unreplicated now, so the exclusion would only
  hide a real one losing its replicas.
- CephPoolLostRedundancy drops its cephfs-ci exemption for the same
  reason, and its description now states the maintenance consequence,
  not just the data-loss one.
- The AUTH_INSECURE_* exclusion is reworded. Calling it
  "known-accepted" reads as a decision that the risk is fine; it is a
  kernel-blocked remediation (aes256k over the CSI mount path needs
  kernel 7.0+, nodes run 6.18).

ci/woodpecker/pr/ci-scripts-test Pipeline was successful
ci/woodpecker/pr/ci-manifests-test Pipeline was successful
ci/woodpecker/pr/pr-review Pipeline was successful
Ceph v19.2.6 ships the fix for CVE-2025-30156, a CephX authentication
bypass: AES-128-CBC service tickets carry no HMAC and use a hard-coded
IV, so a holder of any low-privilege key can bit-flip a ticket into
cluster-admin in linear time. Upgrading the binaries does not resolve
it — the keys themselves must be rotated to the aes256k cipher.

The cluster is mid-procedure. auth_allowed_ciphers (aes, aes256k),
auth_preferred_cipher (aes256k) and auth_service_cipher (aes256k) are
already set, and the rotating service keys were wiped, but no actual
key rotation has happened: every entity in status.cephx is still
keyGeneration 1 with keyType aes, created under 19.2.3.

Rook automates daemon-key rotation but it is opt-in and defaults to
Disabled, so spec.security.cephx was left empty and nothing rotated.
Rook v1.20.6 and Ceph v19.2.6 are both past the version floor the
feature requires.

Rotating daemon keys clears AUTH_INSECURE_SERVICE_KEY_TYPE, the only
one of the six new checks at ERR severity. That is the operationally
urgent part: Rook skips CephFS and RGW reconciliation entirely while
health is HEALTH_ERR — which is what deadlocked the mds/rgw rollout in
issue #527 — and the check is presently held down only by a mon-side
mute with a finite TTL. When that mute lapses the cluster returns to
HEALTH_ERR and the reconcile freeze comes back.

CSI keys are deliberately left on aes. aes256k over the CSI mount path
requires a host kernel of 7.0 or newer and these nodes run 6.18, so
`aes` must stay in auth_allowed_ciphers for CSI to authenticate at all.
AUTH_INSECURE_CLIENT_KEY_TYPE, AUTH_INSECURE_KEYS_ALLOWED and
AUTH_INSECURE_KEYS_CREATABLE therefore stay raised at WARN until the
nodes run a kernel that supports it.

Rotation restarts most Ceph daemons. With size 2 pools across 3 OSDs
this should be applied deliberately rather than alongside other churn,
and Ceph should reach HEALTH_OK before anything else touches the
cluster.

ci/woodpecker/pr/pr-review Pipeline was successful
CephHealthWarn alerted on `ceph_health_status == 1`. It has been FIRING since
at least 2026-08-21T00:26Z and cannot clear: four AUTH_INSECURE_* checks are
permanently active from CVE-2025-30156 (#527) and stay that way until Rook
>=1.20.5 lands. A permanently-firing alert reports nothing -- every Ceph
warning since then has been invisible behind it.

This is a pre-existing gap, not a consequence of the cephfs-ci work, though
that work would have added a second permanent cause (POOL_NO_REDUNDANCY, since
the CI pools are size 1 on purpose).

ceph_health_detail exposes each check as its own series, so the alert now fires
on any check that is NOT known-accepted, and names it. Verified against live
data: 5 checks active, 0 unexpected, so it is quiet now and fires the moment
something genuinely new appears.

Excluding POOL_NO_REDUNDANCY wholesale would give something up: that check is
cluster-wide and does not say WHICH pool, so accepting it for cephfs-ci would
equally hide a production pool dropping to one replica. CephPoolLostRedundancy
restores that. There is no pool-size metric, but bytes_used/stored IS the
replication factor -- verified live as replicapool 2, cephfs-data0 2,
cephfs-metadata 3, cephfs-ci-metadata 1.

Both alerts were tested against live data before committing, in BOTH
directions. The positive control matters as much as the negative one: an early
draft used a >1e9 floor which silently excluded the CI pools entirely, so the
expression could not have matched anything. It looked correct precisely because
it returned no results. The control caught it; the floor is now 1e6.

The floor is not what suppresses the near-empty rgw pools. Their ratios are
9-36 because per-object overhead dominates, so they never match `< 1.5`.

6h on CephHealthWarn is unchanged -- Ceph warns for self-clearing conditions
and paging on those trains people to ignore the alert.

Repoints WOODPECKER_BACKEND_K8S_STORAGE_CLASS at ceph-filesystem-ci, the
dedicated filesystem added in #542 whose pools are both size 1.

Measured 2026-08-21, polling both CephFS pools every 15s:

  CI active   1.5 min (6 intervals):  data0 143.2 MB   metadata 17.2 MB
  CI idle    16.0 min (63 intervals): data0   0.0 MB   metadata 11.0 MB
  CI share of writes: data0 100%, metadata 61%

data0 takes zero bytes across 16 minutes without a pipeline, so its entire
write volume is CI. The 15s cadence is what made this visible: a pipeline
creates, uses and deletes its PVC inside ~2 minutes, so a 5-minute sample
reported no CI pods during bursts CI was causing.

Per pipeline this moves the drive cost from 71.6x2 + 8.2x3 = ~168 MB to
~80 MB, since neither pool is replicated on the new filesystem.

RWX is unchanged and still required: pipeline steps share the workspace PVC
and the k8s backend can schedule them on different nodes, so an RWO volume
fails to mount on the second node. Only the filesystem underneath changes.

Also corrects the justification written into #542 for leaving
ceph-filesystem-ephemeral alone. That commit claimed restore-test.sh handles
"REAL data which must not land on unreplicated pools". That is wrong: its
probe PVCs are as throwaway as a CI workspace -- the authoritative copy is the
backup on Hetzner, and losing a probe just means re-running the test.

The actual reason it cannot move is technical: those probes are snapshot
CLONES, and `ceph fs subvolume snapshot clone` operates within a single
filesystem, so a snapshot taken in `cephfs` cannot be cloned into `cephfs-ci`.
Landing them unreplicated would require a second size-1 data pool inside
`cephfs`; restore-test runs weekly against CI's ~96 pipelines/day, so that is
not worth the complexity.

cephfs-ci verified healthy before this change: PHASE Ready, MDS Running, both
pools reporting size 1.

Woodpecker's Kubernetes backend creates a PVC per pipeline, fills it with a
checkout plus build output, and deletes it when the pipeline ends. Those
workspaces currently live on the shared `cephfs`, so throwaway data is
replicated as if it mattered: 2x in cephfs-data0 and 3x in cephfs-metadata.

Measured 2026-08-21 by polling both pools every 15s. The interval matters --
at 5 minutes a whole pipeline is invisible, because its PVC is created, used
and deleted inside ~2 minutes. Sampling that slowly reported zero CI pods
during bursts CI was causing, which sent this investigation down three wrong
paths before the cadence was fixed.

  one pipeline, a single 15s interval:  data0 +71.6 MB   metadata +8.2 MB
  every interval with no CI pod:        data0   ~0        metadata   ~0

So CI accounts for essentially all CephFS write volume; between pipelines the
metadata pool is quiet at ~4 MB/day. On the shared filesystem one pipeline
costs 71.6x2 + 8.2x3 = ~168 MB of drive writes. On this one it costs ~80 MB.

size 1 is correct here even though it was rejected for `cephfs`. There,
metadataPool stays at 3 because losing it destroys the entire filesystem
rather than the objects on one OSD, and 550 GiB of real data depends on it.
Here every byte is a fresh git clone: total loss means in-flight pipelines
fail and get re-run. Replicating throwaway data was the cost, so it is what
gets removed.

`ceph-filesystem-ephemeral` is deliberately NOT repointed. It has a second
consumer -- velero/restore-test.sh restores REAL data through it for
verification, which must not land on unreplicated pools. A new class also
sidesteps StorageClass.parameters being immutable.

Nothing uses ceph-filesystem-ci yet, so this commit is inert: it provisions
the filesystem and its MDS and changes no existing workload. Repointing the
Woodpecker agent is a separate change, once this is confirmed healthy.

Known consequence: size 1 raises POOL_NO_REDUNDANCY, so cluster health will
warn until that is addressed. Silencing it via mon_warn_on_pool_no_redundancy
is cluster-wide and would also hide a production pool dropping to 1, so it
wants a targeted alert instead -- deliberately left out of this commit rather
than switching the warning off blind.

The MDS is 512Mi/1Gi with no standby, not the 4Gi active+standby that `cephfs`
runs. That figure is driven by immich's cached inode count; a CI workspace is
a few thousand files that vanish with the pipeline, and a second daemon to
protect throwaway work is not worth its memory.

ci/woodpecker/pr/ci-scripts-test Pipeline was successful
ci/woodpecker/pr/ci-manifests-test Pipeline was successful
ci/woodpecker/pr/pr-review Pipeline was successful
A WAL segment is a fixed 16 MiB file. archive_timeout forces a switch on a
timer, and the switched-out segment is written and archived at its full size
no matter how little real WAL it holds. CNPG defaults to 5min, permitting
288 segments/day per cluster of largely padding.

gf-pg went first as a staged rollout and is now verified: 211 -> 41 MB/hour,
an 81% cut, with archived segments falling from ~12/hour to ~1.5/hour in
step. Two independent signals moving together is what confirms the volume
was padding rather than data, and the measured result matched the ~35
MB/hour predicted beforehand.

Fleet-wide this is worth roughly 18 GB/day of logical writes, which at
size=2 with ~1.27x BlueStore overhead is ~45 GB/day at the drives -- about
14% of the 328 GB/day the three OSD NVMes currently take.

ak-pg gets 15min rather than 30min. It holds credentials, sessions and
enrolment state, and the extra 15min would save only a further 0.3 GB/day,
which does not justify doubling the worst-case loss window on that data.

ha-pg saves least in relative terms: its segments are already 63% full of
real WAL (4.9 GB/day), so the timer is not what drives most of its switches.

Also corrects two comments in ha-pg-cluster.yaml that this work falsified.

wal_compression: the claim that these clusters "were not getting compression"
was wrong -- "on" is pglz, which was already compressing. Switching to zstd
moved the WAL rate not at all (4911/4976 -> 5002 MB/day, by LSN advance over
20min windows). Full-page images genuinely are ~62% of WAL here (61.9%
measured as a steady-state delta, against 62.4% lifetime -- so the migration
did not skew it, which was my first guess and it was wrong). There was simply
no headroom between pglz and zstd on this data. zstd is kept because it is
not worse and costs nothing, but it is not a lever.

checkpoint_timeout: 15min -> 30min likewise did not move WAL. Probable reason
is that a recorder is append-mostly -- a page is dirtied while it fills and
then not touched again, so it pays its full-page image once whatever the
checkpoint interval. Kept, but flagged as unjustified pending a data-file
measurement: this volume takes ~11 GB/day against 4.9 GB/day of WAL, so most
of its traffic is outside what a WAL measurement can see.

Context: drive-endurance work on three QLC NVMe OSDs at 81-87% wear.

A WAL segment is a fixed 16 MiB file. archive_timeout forces a segment
switch on a timer so the archive never trails reality by more than that
interval, and the switched-out segment is written and archived at its full
16 MiB no matter how few bytes of real WAL it holds. CNPG defaults this to
5min, which permits up to 288 segments/day = 4.6 GB/day per cluster.

Measured on gf-pg: the database is 21 MB and generates 4.5 MB/day of actual
WAL, while its RBD volume takes 211 MB/hour -- against 192 MB/hour predicted
from 12 switches of 16 MiB. Essentially every byte written to this volume is
padding, roughly 1100x amplification.

This resolves an anomaly that has been open since the start of the endurance
work: gf-pg appeared to write gigabytes per day for a 21 MB database, and
neither WAL volume nor data changes could account for it. Segment padding
does, exactly.

Applied to gf-pg alone as a staged rollout. It is the lowest-risk cluster
and gives the cleanest signal -- its real WAL is small enough that any change
in volume is unambiguously attributable to this parameter. The same default
affects all seven clusters and is worth an estimated ~24 GB/day of logical
writes fleet-wide, but that only goes ahead once this one is verified.

The cost is RPO. On total loss of the cluster, up to 30min of Grafana state
becomes unrecoverable instead of 5min. That state is dashboards, annotations
and preferences, changing at ~4.5 MB/day, so the window is nearly always
empty. Clusters holding credentials or job state get evaluated separately
rather than inheriting this value by default.

archive_timeout is in CNPG's GlobalDefaultSettings, not its
FixedConfigurationParameters, so it is user-overridable -- verified against
pkg/postgres/configuration.go rather than assumed.

Context: drive-endurance work on three QLC NVMe OSDs at 81-87% wear.

`wal_compression: "on"` resolves to pglz, PostgreSQL's original 2016-era
algorithm. Every CNPG cluster here was set that way, so none of them were
getting the compression actually available to them: all seven builds accept
lz4 and zstd (verified via pg_settings.enumvals on each, including immich's
custom pgvector image and trmnl's PostgreSQL 18).

This matters because of what dominates recorder-style write volume. A page
is written to WAL in full -- all 8 KiB -- on its first modification after a
checkpoint, for torn-page protection. Measured on ha-pg, those full-page
images are 62.4% of WAL bytes. Compressing them is therefore the single
largest lever available on WAL volume, and pglz was the weakest option for
the job.

ha-pg additionally moves checkpoint_timeout 15min -> 30min. Full-page images
are emitted once per page per checkpoint interval, so doubling the interval
roughly halves how often each hot page pays the 8 KiB toll. max_wal_size
stays at 2GB deliberately: it must remain well above what one interval
generates, or checkpoints would trigger on size and the interval change
would do nothing. Recovery replays at most one interval of WAL -- under
200MB at the measured rate, i.e. seconds.

The other six clusters keep checkpoint_timeout at 15min. Their measured
write rates do not justify trading recovery time: gf-pg generates 4.5 MB/day
of WAL and wp-pg 62 MB/day, against ak-pg's 604 MB/day.

full_page_writes stays on everywhere. Disabling it would remove the
overhead entirely but RBD can tear a page across an object boundary, and
the trade is write volume against an unrecoverable database.

Both parameters are sighup-reloadable, so this does not restart any cluster.

ci/woodpecker/pr/pr-review Pipeline was successful
Prometheus held 298,236 active series. ~108,000 of them -- over a third -- were
apiserver/etcd `_bucket` histograms. Each fans out to one series per bucket x
verb x resource x scope, so a single metric was 23,810 series on its own. Every
Home Assistant metric combined is ~4,100 for comparison.

That cardinality is the dominant driver of Prometheus write volume (~11 GB/day of
TSDB + WAL, doubled again by Ceph replication) and none of it is observable value
on three nodes: per-bucket apiserver latency quantiles are for clusters with SLAs
and dozens of nodes.

Dropped, all verified to have ZERO rule dependencies by checking each metric
against the live alert and recording rules:

  apiserver_request_duration_seconds_bucket        rules=0   23,810 series
  apiserver_request_body_size_bytes_bucket         rules=0   23,200
  etcd_request_duration_seconds_bucket             rules=0   15,840
  apiserver_watch_list_duration_seconds_bucket     rules=0   11,538
  apiserver_watch_cache_read_wait_seconds_bucket   rules=0    8,232
  apiserver_response_sizes_bucket                  rules=0    7,592
  apiserver_watch_events_sizes_bucket              rules=0    5,220
                                                            -------
                                                             95,432

KEPT deliberately: apiserver_request_sli_duration_seconds_bucket (12,144 series).
23 recording rules depend on it, including the apiserver availability SLO and the
KubeAPIErrorBudgetBurn burn-rate series. Dropping it would silently break that
alerting -- the manifest says so inline, so a later "tidy up" of the regex does
not remove it by accident.

Only `_bucket` series are dropped. The matching `_count` and `_sum` remain, so
request rates and mean latencies still work; what is lost is per-bucket
quantiles.

etcd_* is included even though kubeEtcd is disabled: those are the apiserver's
own etcd-client metrics on the apiserver endpoint, not a separate etcd scrape.

Expected: ~32% fewer active series, so roughly 11 -> 7 GB/day of Prometheus
writes, ~8 GB/day off the drives once replication is counted. Will verify against
prometheus_tsdb_head_series rather than assume.

ci/woodpecker/pr/ci-scripts-test Pipeline was successful

ci/woodpecker/pr/pr-review Pipeline was successful
An image reference is not a secret. Encoding it as base64 `data` had two real
costs: no reviewer sees a version change in a diff, and no $imagepolicy marker
can attach to a base64 blob.

The result was a two-minor version skew in the component that performs every
base backup and WAL archive for seven Postgres clusters (#535):

  controller  plugin-barman-cloud:v0.14.0          <- auto-bumped by Flux
  sidecar     plugin-barman-cloud-sidecar:v0.12.0  <- invisible, never moved

Not stale pods: ha-pg-1 was created hours ago during the recorder migration and
still received v0.12.0.

Three changes:

  1. The Secret now uses stringData with the tag in plaintext, carrying an
     $imagepolicy marker. The Secret KIND is kept because the controller reads it
     via secretKeyRef; switching to a ConfigMap would need a matching edit to that
     reference and diverge further from upstream. stringData is accepted
     identically by the API server.

  2. ImageRepository + ImagePolicy added for the sidecar image, with the same
     filter and 0.x range as the controller, so the two cannot drift apart again.
     Only the controller was tracked before.

  3. Tag aligned to v0.14.0 to match the controller.

The Secret name carries a kustomize hash suffix from upstream's secretGenerator
but is static here, so editing the value does not change the name and the
deployment's secretKeyRef stays valid — verified in the render, which still shows
the name twice (Secret + reference).

Verified the tag EXISTS before pinning it: pulling
plugin-barman-cloud-sidecar:v0.14.0 succeeds (the pod fails later on a missing
`true` binary in that minimal image, which is the container command, not the
pull). Pinning a non-existent tag would have put all seven Postgres clusters into
ImagePullBackOff.

EXPECTED IMPACT: bumping the sidecar changes every Postgres pod spec, so all
seven CNPG clusters roll. CNPG handles this as a normal rolling restart. Backups
should be confirmed working afterwards — 113 Backup CRs exist today, newest ~3h
old and completed.

Note for future re-imports: upstream ships this Secret as base64 `data` with no
marker, so a wholesale re-import silently reintroduces the skew. The manifest now
says so inline.

ci/woodpecker/pr/pr-review Pipeline was successful
Switches the Deployment's `data` volume from paperless-data (RWX,
ceph-filesystem) to paperless-data-block (RWO, ceph-block). `consume` and `media`
stay on CephFS -- the ftp-scanner writes to those from another node, so they
genuinely need RWX.

The copy is already done and verified byte-for-byte with paperless stopped:

  src files: 75
  dst files: 75
  IDENTICAL: name, size and mtime match for every file
  index segments: src 3, dst 3

mtime parity matters specifically because the Whoosh index segments carry their
own consistency expectations; `cp -a` preserved them. (The "can't preserve" lines
in the copy log were for the mount root /dst/. itself, not the files.)

Why: only this Deployment ever mounted the volume, and its contents are
single-writer state. Being on CephFS meant every access crossed the MDS --
measured with zero CI running, 22 requests/sec sustained and ~15 journal
events/sec against 2 directory commits per 180s, i.e. cap/inode churn rather
than file writes. That accounted for most of the constant 7-8 GB/day on
cephfs-metadata, which is a size 3 pool.

cephfs-metadata stays at size 3 deliberately: losing it destroys the entire
filesystem rather than the objects on one OSD, and the 275 GiB in cephfs-data0
depends on it.

paperless-data is retained (prune: disabled) as the rollback. It must NOT be
deleted until search has been confirmed returning results -- that is what proves
the index survived, not merely that paperless starts.

paperless-data is declared ReadWriteMany on ceph-filesystem, but only ONE pod
mounts it -- the paperless Deployment itself. Its contents are all single-writer
state: the 50 MB Whoosh index, classification_model.pickle,
celerybeat-schedule.db, log/, migration_lock. 75 files, nothing shared. Only
`consume` and `media` genuinely need RWX, because the ftp-scanner writes to those
from another node.

It is on CephFS by default, not by requirement, and every access goes through the
MDS. Measured 2026-08-20 with ZERO CI pipelines running:

  paperless-data client   request_load_avg 22   (all other sessions 0-1)
  MDS over 180s           4,052 client requests = 22.5/s
                          2,718 journal events  = 15/s
                              2 dir commits     <- not file writes

Cap and inode churn from repeated access, not data being written. That accounts
for most of the constant 7-8 GB/day on cephfs-metadata, and since that pool is
size 3, roughly 21-24 GB/day reaches the drives.

cephfs-metadata deliberately STAYS at size 3. Losing it destroys the whole
filesystem rather than the objects on one OSD, and the 275 GiB in cephfs-data0
rides on it. Cutting writes at source is the fix; cutting replication is not.

PHASE 1 ONLY, and inert: the PVC is created empty and nothing mounts it. The data
copy and the deployment repoint are separate steps, documented in
MIGRATION-data-to-block.md along with why the copy needs paperless stopped (the
Whoosh index and celerybeat schedule are both live-written, so copying under an
active writer gives a torn read).

Honest sizing: ~21-24 GB/day off the drives against ~432 GB/day cluster-wide, so
about 5%. This is a correctness fix -- a single-writer volume does not belong on
a shared filesystem -- more than a large win. It also removes 22 req/sec of MDS
load, which benefits Woodpecker CI workspaces sharing the same MDS.

claude-botandClaude Opus 5 68c8c86046 fix(cnpg): checkpoint tuning across all Postgres clusters
ci/woodpecker/pr/ci-scripts-test Pipeline was successful
ci/woodpecker/pr/ci-manifests-test Pipeline was successful
ci/woodpecker/pr/pr-review Pipeline was successful
Ten Postgres instances across seven CNPG clusters are ~48 GB/day of the
cluster's ~114 GB/day of client writes, and only ha-pg carried any
write-reduction tuning. The rest ran Postgres defaults, which favour throughput
over storage that wears out.

MEASURED, not assumed. ak-pg since 2026-05-17:

  checkpoints_timed   27,624      = 291/day, i.e. one every 5 min (the default)
  buffers_checkpoint  25,801,628  = ~206 GB flushed
  database size       1,046 MB

That is the whole database rewritten roughly twice a day. The pathology is
specific to idle databases: sessions, tokens and job state re-dirty the same few
pages constantly, and checkpoint_timeout=5min forces each of them to disk 288
times a day instead of letting them coalesce. At 15min they are written a third
as often.

max_wal_size is raised alongside it. Without that, checkpoints trigger on size
instead and the timeout change does nothing. It also bounds crash recovery to at
most 2GB of WAL replay.

Applied to ak-pg, pprl-pg, tr-pg, wp-pg, im-pg, gf-pg. ha-pg already had it.

synchronous_commit is deliberately NOT changed here. It is off for ha-pg because
a state recorder is telemetry; these clusters hold credentials, documents and job
state, where losing the last few hundred ms of commits on an unclean shutdown is
not an acceptable trade for write volume.

Separately, ha-pg shared_buffers 256MB -> 512MB. After 15h on Postgres its
buffers_backend was 629,704 of 939,025 total page writes -- 67% written by
backends rather than the checkpointer or bgwriter, which means the working set
does not fit in the buffer pool and pages are written out repeatedly instead of
coalescing. Memory limit raised 1Gi -> 1536Mi to keep the same headroom (measured
383Mi in use, of which 256MB was shared_buffers).

Verified before commit by rendering every cluster and asserting the tuning landed
under spec.postgresql.parameters with the barman plugin block untouched. That
check exists because the first attempt at this matched the wrong `parameters:`
key -- the barman plugin's, at 6-space indent under plugins: -- and corrupted
wp-pg's barmanObjectName. Reverted and redone with an indent-aware match.

Follow-up to the trmnl renderer finding. An `emptyDir` without `medium: Memory`
is NODE STORAGE, which is easy to read as "ephemeral, therefore free" -- it is
ephemeral, but every byte still hits the node's disk.

Survey of the repo: 23 emptyDir declarations, only 2 RAM-backed. This converts
12 of the remaining ones.

HONEST SCOPE: this buys almost no write reduction. Ranking every pod by OS-disk
writes over 6h shows trmnl-renderer at 67 GB/day (fixed separately) and then
nothing emptyDir-driven -- the rest of the top of that list is Ceph mons
(hostPath, not emptyDir), kube-apiserver, and container logs from databases.
Every volume converted here measured 8.0K in the running pod:

  /var/lib/code-server   8.0K
  /mosquitto/auth        8.0K
  /state (z2m guards)    8.0K

So the value is correctness and, for mosquitto, keeping credential material off
the node's filesystem: that volume holds the generated passwd/acl files.

Each converted volume gets an explicit sizeLimit (16Mi where none existed), so
tmpfs cannot silently consume a container's memory limit. All are orders of
magnitude above measured usage.

Behaviour is unchanged otherwise: an emptyDir persists for the pod's lifetime on
either medium, so the mosquitto shim's assumption that the passwd file survives
a container restart still holds.

DELIBERATELY NOT CONVERTED:
  - kubernetes/talos/cilium.yaml and talos/patches/cilium-cni.yaml -- vendored
    and generated from the chart; a hand edit would be lost on upgrade.
  - trmnl/renderer.yaml -- converted separately, where the actual 34 GB/day was.

Cost: this rolls the affected pods once.

The renderer was the single largest writer in the cluster -- more than every
Ceph OSD and every database combined -- and none of it needed to touch disk.

Measured 2026-08-20 from the container's own cgroup io.stat:

  253:0 (node /dev/vda5)  249,092,697,088 bytes over 7.3 days  = ~34 GB/day
  252:48 (its own PVC)             340 MB total                = negligible

So the writes were not going to its volume at all; they were going to the
node's filesystem via a disk-backed emptyDir. `emptyDir: {}` without
`medium: Memory` is node storage, which is easy to read as "ephemeral, so
free".

The cause is cadence rather than volume. schedules.template.json renders on
"* * * * *", so Chrome is launched 1440 times a day and each launch creates,
fills and deletes a /tmp/puppeteer_dev_chrome_profile-* directory. At rest /tmp
holds under 8 MB -- it is pure churn for data that never outlives the render.

tmpfs pages count against the container's memory limit, so the 512Mi cap is
kept deliberately: measured usage is 129Mi against a 2Gi limit, leaving ample
headroom even if the cap were fully consumed.

Expected effect: ~34 GB/day off the OS disks, which measured 215 GB/day over a
4h window. This is a bigger cluster-wide reduction than the Home Assistant
recorder migration achieved, for a one-line change.

Net -44 lines. The previous version assembled the connection URI from
username/password/dbname, which forced percent-encoding, YAML-safe quoting via
json.dumps, a YAML round-trip validation, and python3 from HA's image.

None of that was necessary: CNPG already publishes a finished, percent-encoded
connection string in the app secret as `uri` / `fqdn-uri`. Reading that key
removes the whole class of problem the earlier review correctly flagged --
rather than solving it more carefully.

Verified against the live secret before simplifying: fqdn-uri contains only
[A-Za-z0-9:/@._%-], so naive double-quoting is provably safe and the YAML
validation was guarding against an input that cannot occur.

What is kept, because it is the part that actually matters: secrets.yaml is PVC
state holding every other HA secret (influxdb_token and friends), so the file is
filtered-and-appended rather than rewritten, moved atomically, and guarded
against shrinking. Tested in HA's own busybox shell -- comment and pre-existing
keys preserved, idempotent across runs, no duplicate key.

Also records why an env var cannot be used at all: HA removed `!env_var` from
its YAML loader, so `!secret` is the only mechanism for recorder.db_url, and
config-sync deliberately does not manage secrets.yaml.

Back to busybox; HA's image is no longer needed for this.

Records the high-water marks the cutover top-up must resume from, and two schema
details that cost a failed first attempt:

  - has_mean/has_sum are INTEGER in SQLite, BOOLEAN in Postgres, and Postgres
    will not coerce them.
  - the legacy created/start/last_reset DATETIME columns are 100% NULL in both
    bulk tables, which is what makes a tab-separated COPY safe.

Also documents why the schema was built from HA's own models with schema_changes
left EMPTY: HA's _initialize_database detects a new database via the
events.time_fired_ts index and writes SCHEMA_VERSION itself, so pre-stamping that
row would bypass HA's own initialisation.

ANALYZE was run on all three tables. After a bulk COPY the planner has no
statistics and HA seq-scans 10.8M rows on every history/energy view.

claude-botandClaude Opus 5 57bb39e7ee fix(home-assistant): percent-encode db_url and validate the rendered YAML
ci/woodpecker/pr/ci-scripts-test Pipeline was successful
ci/woodpecker/pr/ci-manifests-test Pipeline was successful
ci/woodpecker/pr/pr-review Pipeline was successful
Review catch on #524, and it was a genuine blocker.

The first version built "postgresql://${PGUSER}:${PGPASSWORD}@host/db" in
busybox sh with no encoding. Two defects:

  1. The CNPG-generated password is random and may contain @ : / ? #, each of
     which changes how the URL parses. This repo already hit this exact issue
     with the same CNPG password-generation mechanism -- see
     kubernetes/apps/woodpecker/server.yaml, which switched to a lib/pq
     keyword DSN specifically to avoid escaping generated passwords. That
     option does not exist here: HA's recorder.db_url must be a SQLAlchemy URL.
     So the fix is percent-encoding.

  2. Worse, and the reason this was worth blocking: a quote in the password
     makes the YAML line malformed, so secrets.yaml stops parsing entirely and
     HA loses EVERY secret, not just this one. The line-count guard could never
     catch that -- the count is unchanged; the file is simply invalid.

Rewritten to run python3 from HA's own image (already pulled for the main
container, so no extra image) instead of busybox:

  - urllib.parse.quote(..., safe="") on user, password and dbname.
  - json.dumps for the YAML value: YAML is a JSON superset, so this emits a
    correctly escaped double-quoted scalar even with quotes or backslashes.
  - The file is still rewritten LINE-WISE rather than round-tripped through the
    YAML parser, so hand-maintained comments and key order survive.
  - The guard now validates the RESULT: parse the new content, assert no key
    from the old file disappeared, and assert recorder_db_url round-trips to
    exactly the URL that was built. That catches corruption the line count
    cannot.

Verified in HA's image against a deliberately hostile password
(p@ss:w/o"rd#?&\x=1) before commit:

  new version   -> parses, comment preserved, idempotent, password decodes back
                   byte-exact, host and dbname parse correctly
  naive version -> yaml.safe_load raises ParserError

i.e. the approach this replaces would have produced an unparseable
secrets.yaml.

Also updates MIGRATION-recorder-postgres.md for this step landing, including
why the ordering (init container before the configuration.yaml change) is
mandatory.

claude-botandClaude Opus 5 17f913ba2f feat(home-assistant): render recorder_db_url from the ha-pg Secret
ci/woodpecker/pr/ci-manifests-test Pipeline was successful
ci/woodpecker/pr/ci-scripts-test Pipeline was successful
ci/woodpecker/pr/pr-review Pipeline was successful
Phase 2a of the recorder move off SQLite (MIGRATION-recorder-postgres.md).
Adds an init container that writes `recorder_db_url` into /config/secrets.yaml
from the CNPG-generated ha-pg-app Secret.

INERT until the recorder is repointed. It only adds a key to secrets.yaml;
nothing reads it until `db_url: !secret recorder_db_url` lands in
configuration.yaml in the homeassistant repo. That ordering is REQUIRED in this
direction — HA refuses to start when a referenced secret is missing, so the
config change must not go first.

Why an init container rather than a hand-added line: the password is generated
by CNPG and can be rotated, so a hand-written entry goes stale silently and HA
then fails to start on a bad password. Re-rendering on every pod start is also
what makes a rotation take effect.

secrets.yaml is PVC runtime state that config-sync deliberately does not manage
(it holds influxdb_token and others), so this must EDIT the existing file, never
replace it. The script filters out any existing recorder_db_url line, appends
the current one, and guards the result: if the rewrite would drop any
non-recorder line it aborts rather than truncating the file holding every other
secret HA needs. Written to a temp path and moved atomically, chmod 600.

Verified in HA's own Alpine/busybox shell against a fixed sample before commit
-- pre-existing keys preserved, guard reports old=3 new=3, and a second run
produces a byte-identical 4-line file (idempotent, no duplicate key).

claude-botandClaude Opus 5 1260165af1 feat(monitoring): alert on CNPG WAL archiving and backup failure
ci/woodpecker/pr/ci-scripts-test Pipeline was successful
ci/woodpecker/pr/ci-manifests-test Pipeline was successful
ci/woodpecker/pr/pr-review Pipeline was successful
Seven Postgres clusters back up to Hetzner and nothing alerted if that stopped.
The only related rule was HetznerBackupEndpointDown, which probes the S3
endpoint — it proves the bucket is reachable, not that anything was written to
it. Same failure shape as the WordPress backup that failed nightly for three
days against a bucket declared in tofu but never applied: the status surface
looked fine because nothing checked the thing that mattered.

CNPGWalArchiveBacklog is the load-bearing rule. `ready` counts WAL segments
waiting in pg_wal/archive_status; steady state is 0 on every cluster. A
sustained backlog means the archiver is failing, so point-in-time recovery is
silently broken from that moment and pg_wal grows until it fills the PVC and
takes Postgres down. Threshold >5 sustained for 30m: a segment is 16 MiB, so
that is ~80 MiB of un-archived WAL — well below anything that threatens the
volume, far above idle noise. It reads only the instance-level collector, so it
works despite #522.

CNPGBackupFailed fires on a base backup failure within 24h, guarded on
timestamp > 0 so the epoch-zero default is not read as "failed in 1970".

DELIBERATELY NOT ADDED: the backup-age alert, which is the one you would most
want. `(time() - cnpg_collector_last_available_backup_timestamp) > 48h` cannot
be used today because that metric reads exactly 0 on every instance in the
cluster (verified across gf-pg, ak-pg-1/2, pprl-pg-2/3, im-pg, wp-pg, ha-pg).
CNPG has no record of any successful backup anywhere, because the Backup CRs it
derives that from are deleted within a minute of completing — #522. Adding it
now would fire permanently for all seven clusters and be silenced within a day,
which is worse than not having it.

The backups themselves DO work; verified independently by listing the bucket
with barman-cloud-backup-list and restoring a WAL segment back out of S3. The
gap is in the record, not the data.

Both expressions were validated against live Prometheus before commit rather
than written from the metric names: the WAL selector matches 8 real series (a
zero match would mean a dead rule, the defect fixed in
prometheusrule-woodpecker-rotation.yaml), and neither expression fires
currently, which is correct since archiving is healthy and the only recorded
backup failure is ~91 days old.

ci/woodpecker/pr/pr-review Pipeline was successful
The recorder's SQLite database is the largest client writer in the cluster.
Measured 2026-08-19 via cgroup io.stat on the home-assistant container,
corroborated by kernel diskstats and Ceph pool counters: 40 GB/day to its RBD
volume, ~26% of all client writes, against only ~5 GB/day of actual row data.

The 8x gap is the write PATTERN, not the volume:

  ~30 state changes/sec (107k rows/hour, 2.57M/day)
    x2  SQLite WAL + checkpoint -- every dirtied page written twice
    x4  ext4 journal + commit, since synchronous=FULL fsyncs every commit
        (measured: 819 KB of 4 KiB writes -> 3.28 MB at the block device)
    = ~15 KB written per recorded state change

Postgres replaces scattered fsync'd page rewrites with sequential batched WAL.
This attacks the multiplier rather than trimming what gets recorded, which would
hide the problem instead of fixing it.

PHASE 1 ONLY. The cluster comes up EMPTY and nothing consumes it -- HA stays on
SQLite. Deploying it is inert, so there is nothing to roll back if it misbehaves.
Phase 2 migrates the statistics tables and repoints recorder.db_url in the
homeassistant repo; MIGRATION-recorder-postgres.md has the sequence.

What phase 2 must not get wrong, recorded now while it is fresh: HA does NOT
migrate data between database engines. `statistics` holds 10,793,712 rows
spanning 2024-03-13 to today -- 2.4 years of energy history that is not in
InfluxDB and cannot be reconstructed. Repointing db_url at an empty database
silently discards it. `states` (18M rows) is disposable at purge_keep_days: 7.

Postgres is tuned to minimise write volume, which is the point of the move:

  synchronous_commit off  -- the recorder is telemetry, not transactional
                             record-keeping. Postgres stays crash consistent;
                             only the last few hundred ms of commits are at risk
                             on unclean shutdown. In exchange, commits stop
                             forcing an fsync -- the exact cost that makes SQLite
                             expensive here.
  wal_compression on      -- recorder writes are small inserts scattered across
                             pages, so post-checkpoint full-page writes dominate
                             WAL volume.
  checkpoint_timeout 15min / max_wal_size 2GB
                          -- fewer checkpoints means fewer repeat full-page
                             images for the hot rows the recorder rewrites.
  full_page_writes        -- deliberately LEFT ON. RBD can tear a page across a
                             4 MiB object boundary; trading that for write volume
                             risks an unrecoverable database.

Also included:
  - ObjectStore on its own s3 prefix (two clusters sharing a destinationPath
    interleave WAL streams and corrupt both).
  - ScheduledBackup at 02:50 UTC, offset from the other CNPG clusters.
  - PodMonitor added WITH the cluster rather than after it, so the migration has
    metrics from the start instead of discovering the gap later (#433).
  - Cilium policies as DEDICATED policies with their own endpointSelector, not
    rules on the namespace-wide default-deny -- that policy is endpointSelector:{}
    so any rule there applies to every pod in the namespace, and :8000 is served
    by more than the CNPG instance manager. Includes the ICMP allowance that
    attaching L4 rules to the ha-pg endpoints makes necessary for PMTUD.

The hetzner-creds ExternalSecret reuses seed/paperless/hetzner-creds, the same
coupling #397 tracks for woodpecker. Noted in the file with the exact bao command
to fix it; the mount is `homelab`, so #397's recorded 403 on `bao kv list seed`
was a wrong-path error rather than missing permissions.

claude-botandClaude Opus 5 63f25c1511 fix(ceph): stop mon compacting on every paxos trim (240 GB/day of writes)
ci/woodpecker/pr/ci-scripts-test Pipeline was successful
ci/woodpecker/pr/ci-manifests-test Pipeline was successful
ci/woodpecker/pr/pr-review Pipeline was successful
The three Ceph monitors were writing 240 GB/day between them for a ~106 MB
database. That was ~62% of all OS-disk writes on the nodes and roughly a
quarter of everything the cluster writes -- more than every client workload
combined.

Measured 2026-08-19:

  paxos transactions      ~99,000/day  (1.15/s, sampled over 60 s)
  paxos logical data       811 MB/day  (21.9 GB over 27 d mon uptime)
  ACTUAL mon disk writes    80 GB/day  per mon, 240 GB/day for three
                                       (cgroup io.stat: 2.15 TB / 27 d)
  => ~98x write amplification

Cause: mon_compact_on_trim, upstream default true, "compact a certain prefix
(including paxos) when we trim its old states". With paxos_trim_min at 250 and
~99k transactions/day, that is hundreds of forced range compactions per day,
each rewriting the store.

The churn driving it is not cluster activity. 99% of paxos versions are cluster
log and mgr stats -- logm 6.7M, mgrstat 4.4M, against osdmap's 9.6k. Every Rook
operator poll (mgr stat / versions / status / report / osd dump; 23 audit
entries per minute per mon) becomes a cluster-log entry, hence a paxos
transaction, replicated to all three mons. Reducing that polling is the
complementary fix and is tracked separately; this change removes the
amplification regardless of the rate.

This does NOT disable compaction. RocksDB's own levelled compaction still runs
and still reclaims trimmed keys; what stops is the extra forced compact_range
on every trim. Two backstops if that assumption is wrong:

  - mon_data_size_warn (15 GB default) raises HEALTH_WARN, which CephHealthWarn
    in monitoring-rules already alerts on.
  - mon_compact_on_start is set to true here (upstream default false), so every
    mon restart -- upgrade, node reboot, reschedule -- does a full compaction.
    Cheap on a ~106 MB store.

Baseline for verification, mon.a cgroup io.stat at 2026-08-19T12:56:29Z:
wbytes=2154257645056, wios=22509683, uptime since 2026-07-23T13:20:44Z.

Note on methodology: cAdvisor's container_fs_writes_bytes_total roughly
double-counts here -- it reported 425 GB/day for OSDs where nvme0n1 shows 212,
and 155 GB/day for mons where cgroup io.stat shows 80. It was used only to rank
writers; every figure above comes from cgroup io.stat or kernel diskstats, which
reconcile with each other and with the drives' SMART counters.

ci/woodpecker/pr/pr-review Pipeline was successful
With 3 OSDs on 3 hosts, size=3 meant every write landed on every drive in the
cluster. Per-drive write volume equalled TOTAL cluster write volume, so all
three drives wore at an identical rate and would have reached end-of-rated-life
together: measured 2026-08-19 from the drives' own SMART counters, 80/82/87%
endurance used, advancing ~0.13 points/day, exhausted between Nov 2026 and
Jan 2027 (#434). Replication gives no protection there — the wear-out is
correlated by construction, not independent.

size 2 cuts per-drive write volume by a third and desynchronises the wear.

min_size 1 is required, not incidental. Ceph does NOT lower min_size when size
is reduced; it was 2, and leaving it would make replicapool 2/2, where a single
OSD down blocks IO for its PGs. That would hang every RBD volume in the cluster
on every rolling node reboot and every OSD restart.

Accepted trade, stated explicitly: while degraded (one OSD down), a second
drive failure loses data, and at 80%+ endurance that window is not
hypothetical. What limits the blast radius is that CNPG barman and Velero both
ship offsite to Hetzner, so exposure is the RPO of those backups rather than
total loss. Node reboots must stay serialised with HEALTH_OK between them.

CephFS metadataPool deliberately stays at size 3: 467 MiB against data0's
275 GiB, so it contributes nothing measurable to wear, while losing it destroys
the entire filesystem rather than the objects on one OSD. The wear saving comes
from data0. The RGW pools in objectstore.yaml were already size 2.

One-time cost on apply: Ceph deletes the third replica of everything, which is
background IO, and raw used drops from ~1.4 TiB to ~0.95 TiB.

# Home Assistant recorder: SQLite → Postgres
## Why
The recorder's SQLite database is the single largest client writer in the
cluster. Measured 2026-08-19 (cgroup `io.stat` on the home-assistant container,
corroborated by kernel diskstats and Ceph pool counters):
| | |
|---|---|
| HA writes to its RBD volume | **40 GB/day** |
| share of all client writes | **~26%** |
| actual row data underneath | **~5 GB/day** |
The 8× gap is the write *pattern*, not the volume:
```
~30 state changes/sec (107k rows/hour, 2.57M/day)
×2 SQLite WAL + checkpoint — every dirtied page written twice
×4 ext4 journal + commit, because synchronous=FULL fsyncs every commit
(measured: 819 KB of 4 KiB writes → 3.28 MB at the block device)
= ~15 KB written per recorded state change
```
Postgres replaces scattered fsync'd page rewrites with sequential batched WAL.
This attacks the multiplier rather than trimming what gets recorded — excluding
entities would hide the problem, not fix it.
**Context:** this is one of three write-reduction changes. The other two are
merged and verified — `size 3→2` on the Ceph pools (#519) and
`mon_compact_on_trim=false` (#520, which alone removed ~228 GB/day). See #434.
## What is at risk
`states` is disposable — `purge_keep_days: 7`, so it regenerates in a week.
**`statistics` is not.** As of 2026-08-19:
| table | rows | note |
|---|---|---|
| `statistics` | 10,793,712 | **spans 2024-03-13 → today, 2.4 years** |
| `statistics_short_term` | 1,902,624 | 5-minute buckets |
| `statistics_meta` | 1,448 | entity ↔ id mapping, required by both |
| `states` | 18,289,190 | disposable, 7-day retention |
| `events` | 483,989 | disposable |
**Home Assistant does not migrate data between database engines.** Repointing
`db_url` at an empty Postgres silently starts from zero and the energy dashboard
loses its entire history. The long-term statistics are irreplaceable — they are
not in InfluxDB, which HA does not read for the energy dashboard.
## Phase 1 — deploy the cluster (this PR)
`ha-pg` comes up **empty** and nothing consumes it. HA stays on SQLite, so a
failure here is inert and there is nothing to roll back.
Verify before going further:
```sh
kubectl -n home-assistant get cluster ha-pg # Cluster in healthy state, 1/1
kubectl -n home-assistant get backup # ha-pg-daily Completed (immediate: true)
kubectl -n home-assistant logs ha-pg-1 -c postgres | grep -i archive # WAL archiving, no errors
```
Confirm the backup actually landed in the bucket rather than trusting the CR
status — the WordPress backup failed nightly for three days against a bucket
that was declared but never created (see `opentofu/object_storage.tf`).
## Phase 2b — bulk statistics copy: DONE 2026-08-19
Completed with **HA running** — the SQLite file was read through a read-only
mount, and SQLite's WAL mode gives readers a consistent snapshot, so no downtime
was needed for the bulk copy.
```
statistics_meta: sqlite=1449 pg=1449 OK
statistics: sqlite=10799904 pg=10799904 OK (153.9s)
statistics_short_term: sqlite=1969804 pg=1969804 OK ( 27.0s)
statistics span in Postgres: 2024-03-13 -> 2026-08-19
entities with long-term history: 1449
rows carrying sum (energy dashboard): 2627859
database size: 2252 MB (PVC is 20Gi)
```
`ANALYZE` was run on all three tables. That is not housekeeping: after a bulk
`COPY` the planner has no statistics, and HA queries these tables constantly for
history and energy views, so without it every view seq-scans 10.8M rows.
Two schema details that cost a failed first attempt, recorded so the top-up does
not repeat them:
- `has_mean` / `has_sum` are INTEGER in SQLite and BOOLEAN in Postgres. Postgres
will not coerce; convert explicitly and preserve NULL.
- The legacy `created` / `start` / `last_reset` DATETIME columns are 100% NULL in
both bulk tables (superseded by the `_ts` variants), which is what makes a
tab-separated `COPY` safe — nothing in those tables needs escaping.
The schema itself was created with HA's own models
(`Base.metadata.create_all`), **not** hand-written DDL, and `schema_changes` was
left EMPTY on purpose. HA's `_initialize_database` detects a new database by
looking for an index on `events.time_fired_ts`, then writes `SCHEMA_VERSION`
itself. Pre-stamping that row would skip HA's own initialisation path.
### High-water marks for the cutover top-up
Rows written after the bulk copy are not yet in Postgres. Resume from:
```
statistics max_id=13323904 max_start_ts=1787162400.0
statistics_short_term max_id=159205762 max_start_ts=1787166000.0
```
## Phase 2c — cutover (REMAINING)
Do not start until phase 1 is verified.
**Migrate statistics only.** Copying all 18M `states` rows is slow, needs a long
HA outage, and buys a table that is discarded within 7 days anyway.
1. **Snapshot first.** Velero backup of the HA PVC, plus a `.backup` copy of
`home-assistant_v2.db`. This is the rollback.
2. **Stop the recorder** — scale `deploy/home-assistant` to 0. The database must
be quiescent; copying a live SQLite file gives a torn read.
3. **Create the schema.** Start HA once against the empty Postgres so it runs
its own migrations. Never hand-create the tables — the schema version must
match the HA version exactly or HA will refuse to start or silently migrate.
4. **Copy** `statistics_meta` → `statistics` → `statistics_short_term`, in that
order (the other two carry `metadata_id` foreign keys into the first).
Sequences must be reset afterwards, or the first insert collides on a
duplicate primary key:
```sql
SELECT setval('statistics_id_seq', (SELECT MAX(id) FROM statistics));
SELECT setval('statistics_meta_id_seq', (SELECT MAX(id) FROM statistics_meta));
SELECT setval('statistics_short_term_id_seq', (SELECT MAX(id) FROM statistics_short_term));
```
5. **Repoint** `recorder.db_url` in the `homeassistant` repo — that change lives
there, not here. The `recorder_db_url` secret it references is already
rendered into `secrets.yaml` by the `render-db-url` init container in
`deployment.yaml` (phase 2a), so this order is mandatory: **the init
container must be deployed first**, or HA refuses to start on a missing
secret.
The init container percent-encodes the credentials and validates the
resulting YAML rather than counting lines. That is not incidental — the CNPG
password is random, and a naive `"postgresql://user:pass@host/db"` string
makes `secrets.yaml` unparseable the moment the password contains a quote,
which takes out *every* secret HA loads, not just this one. Verified against
a deliberately hostile password before merge.
```yaml
recorder:
db_url: !secret recorder_db_url # postgresql://homeassistant:<pw>@ha-pg-rw.home-assistant.svc.cluster.local/homeassistant
```
The password is in the CNPG-generated `ha-pg-app` Secret. It must not be
committed — render it into `secrets.yaml` the same way the Z2M MQTT password
is handled in `zigbee2mqtt-deployment.yaml`.
6. **Verify** the energy dashboard renders history back to 2024, not just today.
That is the check that proves the statistics migration worked; "HA starts and
records" does not.
### Rollback
Revert `db_url` to the SQLite path and restore the `.backup` copy. Keep the
SQLite file until the energy dashboard has been confirmed over a full day —
deleting it early removes the only rollback that preserves the 2.4 years.
## After the migration
- The HA config PVC shrinks from 5.5 GB to a few hundred MB. Do not shrink the
PVC itself: `ceph-block` allows expansion, not reduction.
- Re-measure. `kubectl -n home-assistant exec deploy/home-assistant -c
home-assistant -- cat /sys/fs/cgroup/io.stat` was 40 GB/day before. If it does
not drop substantially, the migration did not achieve its purpose and that
should be recorded rather than assumed.
- `synchronous_commit: off` in `ha-pg-cluster.yaml` is the single biggest
contributor to the reduction. It is safe for telemetry (Postgres stays crash
consistent; at most a few hundred ms of commits are lost on unclean shutdown)
but it is a deliberate trade and should not be "corrected" later without
understanding why it is set.

# Postgres backend for the Home Assistant recorder.
#
# WHY THIS EXISTS
# The recorder's SQLite database is the single largest client writer in the
# cluster. Measured 2026-08-19 (cgroup io.stat on the home-assistant container,
# corroborated by kernel diskstats): 40 GB/day to its RBD volume, ~26% of all
# client writes, against only ~5 GB/day of actual row data. The gap is the write
# PATTERN, not the volume:
#
# ~30 state changes/sec (107k rows/hour, 2.57M/day)
# x2 SQLite WAL + checkpoint — every dirtied page is written twice
# x4 ext4 journal + commit, because synchronous=FULL fsyncs every commit
# (measured: 819 KB of 4 KiB writes -> 3.28 MB at the block device)
# = ~15 KB written per recorded state change
#
# Postgres replaces scattered fsync'd page rewrites with sequential, batched WAL.
# That is the point of the move — it attacks the multiplier rather than trimming
# what gets recorded, which would only hide the problem.
#
# STAGING
# Phase 1 (this manifest): the cluster comes up EMPTY and HA keeps using SQLite.
# Nothing depends on it, so a failure here is inert. Verify Ready, WAL archiving
# to Hetzner, and a successful base backup before going further.
# Phase 2: migrate the statistics tables and repoint recorder.db_url.
# See MIGRATION-recorder-postgres.md for the sequence and the rollback.

# buffers_backend was 629,704 of 939,025 total page writes — 67% written
# by backend processes rather than the checkpointer or bgwriter. That
# ratio means the working set does not fit in shared_buffers, so backends
# evict dirty pages themselves and the same pages are written out
# repeatedly instead of coalescing in memory.
#
# The recorder touches a wide set of pages continuously (~30 state
# changes/sec across states, state_attributes and five indexes), which is
# exactly the workload that punishes a small buffer pool.
#
# Memory headroom checked before raising: the instance was using 383Mi of
# a 1Gi limit with 256MB of that being shared_buffers, so the limit goes
# to 1.5Gi to keep the same margin.
shared_buffers: "512MB"
max_connections: "50"
# The rest of this block is tuned to MINIMISE WRITE VOLUME, which is the
# entire reason for the migration. Defaults would give a correct database
# that writes far more than it needs to on replicated Ceph storage.
#
# synchronous_commit off: the recorder is telemetry, not transactional
# record-keeping. This does NOT risk corruption — Postgres stays crash
# consistent; it only means the last few hundred ms of commits can be lost
# on an unclean shutdown, which for state history is a non-event. In
# exchange every commit stops forcing an fsync, which is precisely the
# cost that makes SQLite expensive here.
synchronous_commit: "off"
# Compress full-page images in WAL. Recorder writes are many small row
# inserts scattered across pages, so full-page writes after each
# checkpoint dominate WAL volume; compression cuts that directly.
#
# Full-page images really are ~62% of WAL here: 61.9% measured as a
# steady-state delta over one checkpoint cycle, against 62.4% lifetime.
#
# But switching pglz -> zstd changed NOTHING. Measured by
# pg_current_wal_lsn advance over 20min windows: 4911 and 4976 MB/day
# before, 5002 MB/day after.
#
# The reason is that `wal_compression: "on"` was never "no compression" --
# it is pglz, which was already compressing these page images. zstd only
# changes the ratio, and on recorder pages that margin is too small to
# measure. The original framing of this change (that the clusters "were
# not getting compression") was wrong; they were.
#
# Note the 62% figure is an upper bound: it is computed as
# wal_fpi * 8192 / wal_bytes, which assumes uncompressed 8 KiB pages. With
# compression active the true byte share is lower, which is consistent
# with there being little headroom left for a better algorithm.
#
# Kept because zstd is not worse than pglz and costs nothing. It is simply
# not a lever. The real one on this cluster was archive_timeout, below.
#
# zstd, not "on": the boolean spelling resolves to pglz, the original
# 2016-era algorithm, which is both slower and weaker than the two
# alternatives PostgreSQL 16 accepts here (lz4, zstd). zstd gives the
# best ratio on 8 KiB page images, and the CPU cost lands on a cluster
# that is IO-bound on QLC NVMe, not CPU-bound.
wal_compression: "zstd"
# A WAL segment is a fixed 16 MiB file, and archive_timeout forces a switch
# on a timer -- the segment is then written and archived at its full size
# no matter how little real WAL it holds. CNPG defaults to 5min, i.e. up
# to 288 segments/day = 4.6 GB/day that is largely padding.
#
# Verified on gf-pg first (the staged rollout): 211 -> 41 MB/hour, an 81%
# cut, with archived segments falling from ~12/hour to ~1.5/hour in step.
# Two independent signals moving together is what confirms the volume was
# padding rather than data.
#
# The cost is RPO: up to 30min of WAL is unrecoverable if this cluster and
# its volume are lost outright. This is a single-instance cluster, so the
# archive is the only off-node copy.
archive_timeout: "30min"
# Fewer checkpoints => fewer full-page writes, since a page is only
# fully-logged on its first modification after a checkpoint.
#
# That reasoning did not show up in WAL volume: 15min -> 30min moved the
# WAL rate not at all (4911/4976 -> 5002 MB/day). The likely reason is
# that this workload is append-mostly -- a page is dirtied while it fills
# and then not touched again, so its full-page image is paid once
# regardless of how often checkpoints run. Interval only helps pages that
# are re-dirtied across many cycles, which is not what a recorder does.
#
# Kept, but NOT because WAL improved. checkpoint_timeout also governs
# data-file writes at checkpoint, and those are unmeasured here: this
# volume takes ~11 GB/day against 4.9 GB/day of WAL, so most of its
# traffic is outside what the WAL measurement covers. Revisit with a
# data-file measurement before treating this value as justified.
#
# Recovery cost is bounded by how much WAL a single interval produces,
# not by the interval itself: at the measured rate 30min is well under
# 200MB of replay, i.e. seconds. max_wal_size stays 2GB precisely so the
# timeout stays the binding trigger -- if size were the binding one, the
# interval change would do nothing.
checkpoint_timeout: "30min"
max_wal_size: "2GB"
min_wal_size: "512MB"
# full_page_writes is deliberately LEFT ON (the default). RBD can tear a
# page across a 4 MiB object boundary, and turning this off would trade
# write volume for the risk of an unrecoverable database. Not worth it.

# paperless-data: CephFS → RBD
## Why
`paperless-data` is `ReadWriteMany` on `ceph-filesystem`, but **only the paperless
Deployment mounts it**. Verified 2026-08-20:
```
$ pods mounting paperless-data
paperless-68cb8b8744-7hjb8 <- one, and only one
paperless-data ReadWriteMany ceph-filesystem
paperless-media ReadWriteMany ceph-filesystem <- genuinely shared (ftp-scanner)
paperless-consume ReadWriteMany ceph-filesystem <- genuinely shared (ftp-scanner)
```
Its contents are single-writer state — the 50 MB Whoosh index,
`classification_model.pickle`, `celerybeat-schedule.db`, `log/`,
`migration_lock`, `protonmail.pem`. 75 files. Nothing else reads or writes them.
It is on CephFS by default, not by requirement.
## What it costs
Every access goes through the MDS. Measured with **zero CI pipelines running**:
```
paperless-data client request_load_avg 22 (all other sessions 0-1)
MDS over 180s 4,052 client requests = 22.5/s
2,718 journal events = 15/s
2 dir commits <- almost none: not file writes
```
So it is cap/inode churn from repeated access, not data being written. That is
most of the constant **7-8 GB/day** written to `cephfs-metadata`, and since that
pool is `size: 3`, roughly **21-24 GB/day** reaches the drives.
`cephfs-metadata` deliberately stays at size 3. Losing it destroys the entire
filesystem rather than the objects on one OSD, and the 275 GiB in `cephfs-data0`
depends on it. Cutting the writes at source is correct; cutting the replication
is not.
## Sequence
Staged deliberately: the PVC lands first and empty, so merging it changes
nothing. The copy and the repoint are separate.
### Phase 1 — provision (this PR)
`paperless-data-block` (RWO, `ceph-block`, 10Gi) is created and mounted by
nothing. Inert.
Verify: `kubectl -n paperless get pvc paperless-data-block` → Bound.
### Phase 2 — copy
The Whoosh index must come across intact. Paperless *can* rebuild it
(`document_index reindex`), but that reprocesses every document, so copying is
both faster and less disruptive.
1. Scale paperless to 0. The source must be quiescent — `celerybeat-schedule.db`
and the Whoosh index are both live-written, and copying them under an active
writer gives a torn read.
2. Run a one-off pod that mounts BOTH PVCs and copies:
```
cp -a /src/. /dst/
```
The RWO target pins the pod to one node; the RWX source will follow.
3. Verify file count and index size match:
```
find /src -type f | wc -l == find /dst -type f | wc -l
du -sh /src/index == du -sh /dst/index
```
### Phase 3 — repoint
Change the Deployment's `data` volume to `claimName: paperless-data-block`,
merge, let it roll.
Verify afterwards:
- paperless starts, search returns results (proves the Whoosh index survived)
- `ceph tell mds.cephfs-b session ls` no longer shows a busy `paperless-data`
client
- `rate(ceph_pool_wr_bytes{pool_id="3"})` drops from its 7-8 GB/day baseline
**Do not delete `paperless-data` until search has been confirmed working.** It is
the rollback, and it is `prune: disabled` so Flux will not remove it.
## Expected effect
~7-8 GB/day off `cephfs-metadata`, so ~21-24 GB/day off the drives once
replication is counted. Against ~432 GB/day cluster-wide that is roughly 5% —
worth doing, but it is a correctness fix (a single-writer volume does not belong
on a shared filesystem) more than a large win.
It also removes 22 req/sec of MDS load, which benefits the workloads that
genuinely need CephFS — Woodpecker CI workspaces share the same MDS.

# Upstream default is true — "Compact a certain prefix (including paxos)
# when we trim its old states" — which is fine at low paxos rates and
# pathological here. Measured 2026-08-19:
#
# paxos transactions ~99,000/day (1.15/s, sampled over 60 s)
# paxos logical data 811 MB/day (21.9 GB over 27 d uptime)
# ACTUAL mon disk writes 80 GB/day per mon, 240 GB/day for three
# (cgroup io.stat: 2.15 TB/27 d)
# => ~98x write amplification, for a ~106 MB database
#
# That was ~62% of all OS-disk writes on these nodes and roughly a
# quarter of everything the cluster writes — more than every client
# workload combined. With paxos_trim_min at 250, ~99k transactions/day
# means hundreds of forced range compactions per day, each rewriting the
# store.
#
# The churn itself is 99% cluster log and mgr stats, not real cluster
# activity: logm holds 6.7M paxos versions and mgrstat 4.4M, against
# osdmap's 9.6k. Every Rook-operator poll (mgr stat / versions / status /
# report / osd dump — 23 audit entries per minute per mon) becomes a
# cluster-log entry, hence a paxos transaction, replicated to all three
# mons. Reducing that polling is the complementary fix and is tracked
# separately; this setting removes the amplification regardless of rate.
#
# This does NOT disable compaction. RocksDB's own levelled compaction
# still runs and still reclaims trimmed keys; what stops is the extra
# forced compact_range on every trim. Store growth is therefore bounded
# by normal compaction, and there are two backstops if that assumption is
# wrong: mon_data_size_warn (15 GB default) raises HEALTH_WARN, which
# CephHealthWarn in monitoring-rules already alerts on, and
# mon_compact_on_start below compacts fully on every mon restart.
#
# Watch after applying: `du -sh /var/lib/rook/mon-*/store.db` on a node,
# or the mon store size in `ceph status`. If it grows past ~1 GB and does
# not come back down, revisit rather than leaving it.
mon_compact_on_trim: "false"
# Compensating control for the above: a full compaction on mon start.
# Upstream default is false. Mons restart on upgrades, node reboots and
