Bring the runbook up to the 2026-06-10 state: app tier + CI/CD in current state, a Deploy flow section (push to main = release, rollback, break-glass, required Gitea secrets), reproduce steps 8-9 (app tier secrets+apply, CI runner + ci-deployer with the runner gotchas), per-router ACME-safe redirect instead of the old global one, platform-api key read-back for Bitwarden, and a pruned TODO list.

Dezky production — node1 build runbook
The actual, reproducible order used to stand up node1.dezky.eu (Hetzner
AX41, 46.4.78.187, Ubuntu 24.04). If the box is lost, follow this top to
bottom to rebuild it. Per-layer detail lives in host/README.md,
fleet/cert-manager/, fleet/longhorn/, fleet/data/.
Secrets are never in git. They're generated with
openssl rand -hex 24and stored in Bitwarden. See "Secrets" below for how to read the live values back out of the cluster.
Current state (built 2026-06-08, app tier + CI/CD 2026-06-10)
- Host: hardened via
host/bootstrap.sh—dezkyadmin user, key-only SSH (no root, no passwords), k3s-safe nftables firewall (SSH/6443 → mgmt IPs46.32.144.38/46.32.144.45; 80/443+mail → world), fail2ban, unattended-upgrades,open-iscsi+iscsid(Longhorn prereq).dezkyhas NOPASSWD sudo (/etc/sudoers.d/90-dezky). - k3s v1.33.11 — single node (control-plane/etcd/worker), registered in
Rancher (
91.99.122.153). - Longhorn — default StorageClass,
numberOfReplicas: 1(single node). - cert-manager +
letsencrypt-staging/letsencrypt-prod(HTTP-01/Traefik). - Data tier (
dezky-datans) — Postgres 16, Mongo 7, Redis 7 as StatefulSets on Longhorn PVCs. Postgres holds theauthentik+ocisDBs. - Authentik (
dezky-authns) — live at https://auth.dezky.eu (LE cert), chart pinned2026.5.2, on our Postgres/Redis. Portal + operator OIDC app blueprints applied (fleet/authentik/blueprints/). - Stalwart (host, not k3s) — mail on the bare host; JMAP management API
reachable from pods at
http://10.42.0.1:8080(cni0 gateway). - Traefik — per-router HTTP→HTTPS redirect via
redirectSchemeMiddleware on each Ingress (web,websecureentrypoints). No global entrypoint redirect — that breaks cert-manager HTTP-01 (fleet/traefik/). - App tier (
dezky-appsns) — portal (app.dezky.eu), platform-api (api.dezky.eu), booking (booking.dezky.eu), operator (operator.dezky.eu). Seefleet/README.md. - CI/CD (
gitea-runnerns) — in-clustergitea/runner:1.0.8+ dind sidecar. Push to main = deploy (see "Deploy flow" below). - Registry hygiene — Gitea package cleanup rule (user-level, Container
type): keep newest 5 versions per image +
latest, remove older than 7 days. Applied by Gitea's daily cleanup cron.
Deploy flow (day-to-day)
Push to main on Gitea → .gitea/workflows/ci.yml runs in-cluster:
typecheck + test → docker build + push (each app image tagged :latest +
the commit SHA, to git.lastcloud.io/ronnibaslund/dezky/<app>) → deploy
(kustomize edit set image pins the SHA, kubectl apply -k fleet/apps,
waits for rollouts). No GitOps controller, no manual steps. Push-to-live is
~2 min with a warm build cache, 5–10 min after a runner pod restart (the dind
layer cache is an emptyDir).
- Watch: repo → Actions in Gitea, or
kubectl -n dezky-apps get deploy -o wide(image column shows the SHA). - Rollback: re-run an older green run from the Gitea Actions UI, or
kubectl -n dezky-apps set image deploy/<app> <app>=git.lastcloud.io/ronnibaslund/dezky/<app>:<old-sha>. - Break-glass (runner down):
kubectl apply -k fleet/apps/by hand — manifests reference:latest. - Gitea Actions secrets (repo Settings → Actions → Secrets):
KUBECONFIG_B64(ci-deployer kubeconfig, see step 9) andREGISTRY_TOKEN(Gitea PAT with package read+write — the per-job GITHUB_TOKEN is NOT accepted by the container registry).
Reproduce from scratch
1. Host layer
# from laptop
scp -r infrastructure/production/host root@<ip>:/opt/dezky-host
# copy/fill config.env on the box (gitignored — MGMT IPs, ADMIN_SSH_PUBKEY,
# RANCHER_* token/checksum, STALWART_*, RESTIC_*)
ssh root@<ip> 'cd /opt/dezky-host && ./bootstrap.sh'
# set a console/sudo password for the admin user, then (optional) NOPASSWD:
ssh root@<ip> 'passwd dezky'
ssh dezky@<ip> "echo 'dezky ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL' | sudo tee /etc/sudoers.d/90-dezky && sudo chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers.d/90-dezky"
2. k3s + kubectl access
ssh dezky@<ip>
sudo /opt/dezky-host/k3s/register.sh # joins the Rancher Custom (K3s) cluster
kubectl --kubeconfig /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml get nodes # -> Ready
# give dezky a kubeconfig:
mkdir -p ~/.kube && sudo install -m 600 -o dezky -g dezky /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml ~/.kube/config
3. Longhorn (storage)
sudo apt-get install -y open-iscsi nfs-common && sudo systemctl enable --now iscsid # (bootstrap.sh does this now)
helm repo add longhorn https://charts.longhorn.io && helm repo update
helm install longhorn longhorn/longhorn -n longhorn-system --create-namespace \
--version 1.12.0 -f fleet/longhorn/values.yaml # replica=1, default class
# one default SC only:
kubectl patch storageclass local-path -p '{"metadata":{"annotations":{"storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class":"false"}}}'
kubectl -n longhorn-system patch settings.longhorn.io default-replica-count --type=merge -p '{"value":"1"}'
kubectl get storageclass # only 'longhorn (default)'
4. cert-manager + issuers
kubectl apply -f fleet/cert-manager/cert-manager.yaml
kubectl -n cert-manager rollout status deploy/cert-manager-webhook --timeout=180s
kubectl apply -f fleet/cert-manager/cluster-issuer.yaml
kubectl get clusterissuer # both READY=True
5. Data tier
kubectl create namespace dezky-data --dry-run=client -o yaml | kubectl apply -f -
# secrets — generate fresh, store in Bitwarden:
kubectl -n dezky-data create secret generic postgres-secret \
--from-literal=POSTGRES_PASSWORD=$(openssl rand -hex 24) \
--from-literal=AUTHENTIK_DB_PASSWORD=$(openssl rand -hex 24) \
--from-literal=OCIS_DB_PASSWORD=$(openssl rand -hex 24)
kubectl -n dezky-data create secret generic mongo-secret \
--from-literal=root-username=dezky --from-literal=root-password=$(openssl rand -hex 24)
kubectl -n dezky-data create secret generic redis-secret \
--from-literal=REDIS_PASSWORD=$(openssl rand -hex 24)
kubectl apply -k fleet/data/
kubectl -n dezky-data get pods,pvc # all Running, PVCs Bound on longhorn
6. Authentik (IdP)
See fleet/authentik/README.md. Create dezky-auth ns + authentik-secret
(DB/Redis pw read back from dezky-data so they match; SECRET_KEY + bootstrap
generated), then kubectl apply -f fleet/authentik/helmchart.yaml. Reachable at
https://auth.dezky.eu; first login akadmin / AUTHENTIK_BOOTSTRAP_PASSWORD.
7. Traefik — per-router HTTPS redirect (ACME-safe)
# NO global entrypoint redirect — it would 301 the HTTP-01 challenge before
# cert-manager's solver router can answer it. Redirect lives per-Ingress via
# a redirectScheme Middleware instead (applied with each tier's kustomize).
kubectl apply -f fleet/traefik/helmchartconfig.yaml
kubectl -n kube-system delete job helm-install-traefik # force the controller to re-run with merged values
# verify: curl -sI http://app.dezky.eu -> 301 https://... AND new certs still issue
8. App tier (portal · platform-api · booking · operator)
# Secrets first (out-of-band, values from Bitwarden / generated — see
# fleet/README.md "Required env / secrets" + fleet/apps/secrets.example.yaml):
# portal-secrets, booking-secrets, operator-secrets, platform-api-secrets
kubectl apply -k fleet/apps/
kubectl -n dezky-apps get pods # all Running once images exist in the registry
9. CI runner + push-to-deploy
# In-cluster Gitea Actions runner (gitea/runner + privileged dind sidecar).
# Registration token from Gitea: Settings → Actions → Runners → Create token.
kubectl create namespace gitea-runner --dry-run=client -o yaml | kubectl apply -f -
kubectl -n gitea-runner create secret generic gitea-runner-token \
--from-literal=token=<registration token>
kubectl apply -f fleet/ci/gitea-runner.yaml
# Deploy ServiceAccount + kubeconfig for the pipeline's deploy job:
kubectl apply -f fleet/ci/ci-deployer.yaml
# mint the kubeconfig (full recipe in fleet/README.md "Deploy") and store it
# as the KUBECONFIG_B64 repo secret; create a Gitea PAT with package
# read+write and store as REGISTRY_TOKEN.
# Gotchas baked into fleet/ci/gitea-runner.yaml — don't "simplify" them away:
# - gitea/runner 1.x (NOT act_runner 0.2.x: Gitea 1.26 never marks its jobs
# complete, which freezes runs at "Complete job").
# - dind shares /var/run with the runner: jobs can only get a docker host
# by bind-mounting a UNIX socket (tcp://+TLS can't be mounted).
# - docker:24-dind (moby 27 has a cgroup-v2 teardown deadlock).
Secrets — read live values for Bitwarden
k(){ kubectl -n dezky-data get secret "$1" -o jsonpath="{.data.$2}" | base64 -d; echo; }
k postgres-secret POSTGRES_PASSWORD
k postgres-secret AUTHENTIK_DB_PASSWORD # must match Authentik's DB config
k postgres-secret OCIS_DB_PASSWORD # must match OCIS's DB config
k mongo-secret root-password
k redis-secret REDIS_PASSWORD
a(){ kubectl -n dezky-apps get secret platform-api-secrets -o jsonpath="{.data.$1}" | base64 -d; echo; }
a SCHEDULING_CREDENTIAL_KEY # AES key for stored scheduling creds — losing it orphans them
a AUDIT_SIGNING_KEY # audit hash-chain key — rotation closes the segment
Still TODO (next layers)
- OCIS (files) — uses the
ocisPostgres DB + Hetzner Object Storage (S3). platform-api already carries placeholderOCIS_*config (fleet/apps/platform-api-config.yaml) — swap in real values when live. - Audit cold storage — Hetzner Object Storage bucket + real
AUDIT_COLD_*keys inplatform-api-secrets; flipARCHIVE_ENABLED. - Backups — Longhorn → Hetzner Object Storage (
fleet/longhorn/README.md), plus host Restic for the mail store + etcd snapshots, plus pg_dump/mongodump CronJobs. - Stripe live keys — billing is dark-launched off
(
BILLING_STRIPE_ENABLED: "false"in the app config).
Done since first build: ✅ Authentik + OIDC blueprints · ✅ Stalwart on the
host · ✅ app tier (incl. operator) · ✅ CI/CD push-to-deploy · ✅ DNS A

Access cheatsheet
- SSH:
ssh dezky@46.4.78.187(key only). Root SSH disabled. - kubectl: works as
dezky(kubeconfig at~/.kube/config). - Out-of-band if locked out: Hetzner Robot KVM/LARA or Rescue System.
- The
level=warning … 50-rancher.yaml: permission deniedfrom kubectl is harmless noise (k3s kubectl probing a root-only config dir).
