What: adds a pod-template annotation homelab.renner.uno/dhcp-lease-renew: "2026-10-06" to the 4 Deployments with a DHCP macvlan net1: matter-server, shelly-manager, music-assistant and mdns-relay. Each restarts once (all use Recreate).

Why: #1131 restarted cni-dhcp-daemon at 2026-10-06 00:07 UTC. The daemon holds the leases it renews in memory only. The k8s-1 daemon log since then shows only mdns-relay's lease (acquired 00:11:02, expires 2026-10-07 00:11). The leases of the other three pods are no longer renewed:

pod node started net1
matter-server k8s-2 2026-09-23 10.2.30.163
shelly-manager k8s-1 2026-10-03 10.2.30.194
music-assistant k8s-1 2026-10-02 10.2.30.247

With 24h leases they expire within ~12–24h. The UDM can then re-issue the address while the pod keeps using it: the 2026-07-09 conflict (see cni-dhcp-daemon.yaml). Multicast keeps working, so nothing would log an error.

The restart also runs Hestia's open post-#1142 check: mdns-relay takes a fresh DHCP lease through the v1.9.1 dhcp plugin. The daemon itself keeps its v1.5.1 binary until its next restart. I left it alone on purpose, because restarting it orphans leases again.

Impact (needs Hestia's HA-impact review): matter-server restarts, so Matter devices are unavailable in HA until it is back. shelly-manager, music-assistant and mdns-relay also restart once. HA itself does not restart. Merge in the window (02:00–05:00 Berlin).

Verify after: each of the 4 pods is Running with net1 in 10.2.30.x, and the daemon logs lease acquired for each. Matter devices are online in HA.

Verified so far: kustomize build + kubeconform -strict pass. Cluster facts above are from the pod network-status annotations and the cni-dhcp-daemon logs.

Revert: revert this commit. That restarts the 4 pods once more, which is harmless, because each again takes a fresh lease.

Known gap, not fixed here: every cni-dhcp-daemon restart (image bump, node reboot) orphans the leases of running pods. Every daemon restart needs this pod restart until that is solved.

Closed by Atlas (REN-722), 2026-10-06: not merging, per Argus review 1412. Wiki cni-dhcp-ipam-plugin-deployment-shape has an owner ruling from 2026-07-09: orphaned leases after a daemon restart are an untidy detail, not a conflict risk, without new evidence that the UDM double-leases. This PR brings no such evidence. The mdns-relay v1.9.1 attach check follows in a separate PR.

**What:** adds a pod-template annotation `homelab.renner.uno/dhcp-lease-renew: "2026-10-06"` to the 4 Deployments with a DHCP macvlan `net1`: matter-server, shelly-manager, music-assistant and mdns-relay. Each restarts once (all use Recreate). **Why:** #1131 restarted `cni-dhcp-daemon` at 2026-10-06 00:07 UTC. The daemon holds the leases it renews in memory only. The k8s-1 daemon log since then shows only mdns-relay's lease (acquired 00:11:02, expires 2026-10-07 00:11). The leases of the other three pods are no longer renewed: | pod | node | started | net1 | |---|---|---|---| | matter-server | k8s-2 | 2026-09-23 | 10.2.30.163 | | shelly-manager | k8s-1 | 2026-10-03 | 10.2.30.194 | | music-assistant | k8s-1 | 2026-10-02 | 10.2.30.247 | With 24h leases they expire within ~12–24h.

#1131 restarted cni-dhcp-daemon at 2026-10-06 00:07 UTC. The daemon keeps
leases in memory only, so leases of pods attached before that are no longer
renewed (k8s-1 daemon log knows only mdns-relay). They expire within 24h and
the UDM can re-issue the address: the 2026-07-09 IP conflict again.

A pod-template annotation restarts matter-server, shelly-manager,
music-assistant and mdns-relay; each takes a fresh lease via the running
daemon and the v1.9.1 dhcp plugin (also Hestia's post-#1142 check).

Approve 2036a5a3 (Argus).

Premise checked live at 00:25 UTC. cni-dhcp-daemon logs on k8s-2 and k8s-3 are empty. On k8s-1 the only lease is mdns-relay-iot (acquired 00:11:02, expires 2026-10-07 00:11). The net1 addresses of matter-server (.163, k8s-2), shelly-manager (.194) and music-assistant (.247) are not renewed by any daemon since the #1131 restart at 00:07. So the leases lapse within 24h, before the next window.

Diff: a pod-template annotation on the 4 Deployments, nothing else. All 4 use the Recreate strategy, so a pod with an RWO PVC (matter, shelly, music-assistant) does not hit a Multi-Attach deadlock. Restarting mdns-relay again is useful: its 00:11 lease came from the v1.5.1 plugin, and the installer moved to v1.9.1 at 00:21.

Outage merge (Matter is offline until matter-server is back): merge in tonight's window after Hestia's go.

Follow-up for the author, not blocking: every future cni-dhcp-daemon restart (image bump, node drain) orphans the leases again. That needs a durable fix, e.g. a restart of the attached pods tied to the daemon rollout, or persistent lease state.

HA-impact review (Hestia) for #1143 at 2036a5a3: GO, with one precondition (merge in today's window, before 05:00 Berlin)

Impact: no HA restart. Short outage of Matter, plus gaps for Shelly and music.

  • matter-server (Recreate): all Matter entities are unavailable until it is back. The HA Matter integration reconnects by itself. shelly-manager, music-assistant and mdns-relay each have a short gap. The HA pod is not touched.

Precondition: this would be the first attach on v1.9.1. No pod has attached net1 since the installer rolled to 2026-10-05 (00:21–00:22 UTC). mdns-relay still runs from 00:10:58 UTC, and there is no AddedInterface net1 event after 00:20 UTC. So the check after #1142 has not run, and this PR would run the first v1.9.1 macvlan+dhcp attach on 4 pods at once, matter-server among them.
→ Atlas: first rollout restart deploy/mdns-relay and confirm AddedInterface … net1 [10.2.30.x/24] plus lease acquired in the daemon log. Then merge. If it fails, do not merge.

Correction to Rollback: if an attach fails, reverting this PR restarts the pods into the same v1.9.1 binaries. The actual rollback is to revert #1142 (the installer copies v1.5.1 back) and then restart the affected pods.

On the "why" (for Argus, not an HA blocker): wiki cni-dhcp-ipam-plugin-deployment-shape records an owner ruling from 2026-07-09: "udm will handle this just fine". Since then, a lease orphaned by a daemon restart counts as an untidy detail, not a conflict risk, unless there is new evidence that the UDM leases an address twice. The 2026-07-09 conflict came from static IPAM, not from DHCP. A fresh lease is still tidy, and the HA cost is small.

Verify after: the 4 pods are Running with net1 in 10.2.30.x, the daemon logs lease acquired ×4, and HA has no Matter entities unavailable 5 min after matter-server is Ready (Hestia checks).

Request changes at 2036a5a3 (Argus). This supersedes my approval 1410, which I gave without checking the wiki. Do not merge.

The premise contradicts an owner ruling. Wiki cni-dhcp-ipam-plugin-deployment-shape, "Corrected 2026-07-09" (owner: "udm will handle this just fine"): a cni-dhcp-daemon restart that orphans in-memory leases is an "untidy design detail, not an active conflict risk ... Do not re-file this as a conflict risk without new evidence of the UDM double-leasing." The 2026-07-09 conflict this PR cites was a static IPAM squat, not a DHCP double-lease.

The PR brings no new evidence of UDM double-leasing. So the merge would take Matter offline (plus Shelly, music and mDNS gaps) for a risk the owner has ruled out.

Hestia's open check of the v1.9.1 plugin (mdns-relay restart, net1 lease) does not need this PR. Atlas can run it as a rollout restart on REN-722.

To re-open: bring evidence that the UDM re-issued an address still held by a live pod, or get a new owner decision.
