[redis] Phase 3-7: cutover to redis-v2, Nextcloud HAProxy-only
Phase 3 — replication chain (old → v2):
- Discovered the v2 cluster was running redis:7.4-alpine, but the
Bitnami old master ships redis 8.6.2 which writes RDB format 13 —
the 7.4 replicas rejected the stream with "Can't handle RDB format
version 13". Bumped v2 image to redis:8-alpine (also 8.6.2) to
restore PSYNC compatibility.
- Discovered that sentinel on BOTH v2 and old Bitnami clusters
auto-discovered the cross-cluster replication chain when v2-0
REPLICAOF'd the old master, triggering a failover that reparented
old-master to a v2 replica and took HAProxy's backend offline.
Mitigation: `SENTINEL REMOVE mymaster` on all 5 sentinels (both
clusters) during the REPLICAOF surgery, then re-MONITOR after
cutover. This must be done on the OLD sentinels too, not just v2 —
they're the ones that kept fighting our REPLICAOF.
- Set up the chain: v2-0 REPLICAOF old-master; v2-{1,2} REPLICAOF v2-0.
All 76 keys (db0:76, db1:22, db4:16) synced including `immich_bull:*`
BullMQ queues and `_kombu.*` Celery queues — the user-stated
must-survive data class.
Phase 4 — HAProxy cutover:
- Updated `kubernetes_config_map.haproxy` to point at
`redis-v2-{0,1,2}.redis-v2-headless` for both redis_master and
redis_sentinel backends (removed redis-node-{0,1}).
- Promoted v2-0 (`REPLICAOF NO ONE`) at the same time as the
ConfigMap apply so HAProxy's 1s health-check interval found a
role:master within a few seconds. Cutover disruption on HAProxy
rollout was brief; old clients naturally moved to new HAProxy pods
within the rolling update window.
- Re-enabled sentinel monitoring on v2 with `SENTINEL MONITOR
mymaster <hostname> 6379 2` after verifying `resolve-hostnames yes`
+ `announce-hostnames yes` were active — this ensures sentinel
stores the hostname (not resolved IP) in its rewritten config, so
pod-IP churn on restart doesn't break failover.
Phase 5 — chaos:
- Round 1: killed master v2-0 mid-probe. First run exposed the
sentinel IP-storage issue (stored 10.10.107.222, went stale on
restart) — ~12s probe disruption. Fixed hostname persistence and
re-MONITORed.
- Round 2: killed new master v2-2 with hostnames correctly stored.
Sentinel elected v2-0, HAProxy re-routed, 1/40 probe failures over
60s — target <3s of actual user-visible disruption.
Phase 6 — Nextcloud simplification:
- `zzz-redis.config.php` no longer queries sentinel in-process —
just points at `redis-master.redis.svc.cluster.local`. Removed 20
lines of PHP. HAProxy handles master tracking transparently now
that it's scaled to 3 + PDB minAvailable=2.
Phase 7 step 1:
- `kubectl scale statefulset/redis-node --replicas=0` (transient —
TF removal in a 24h follow-up). Old PVCs `redis-data-redis-node-{0,1}`
preserved as cold rollback.
Docs:
- Rewrote `databases.md` Redis section to reflect post-cutover reality
and the sentinel hostname gotcha (so future sessions don't relearn it).
- `.claude/reference/service-catalog.md` entry updated.
The parallel-bootstrap race documented in the previous commit is still
worth watching — the init container now defaults to pod-0 as master
when no peer reports role:master-with-slaves, so fresh boots land in
a deterministic topology.

Single shared cluster for all 17 consumers (Immich, Authentik, Nextcloud, Paperless, Dawarich Sidekiq, Traefik, etc.). HAProxy (3 replicas, PDB minAvailable=2) is the sole client-facing path — clients talk only to `redis-master.redis.svc.cluster.local:6379` and HAProxy health-checks backends via `INFO replication`, routing only to `role:master`.

|

**Current state (as of 2026-04-19, cutover complete)**:
|
||||
|
||||
| Cluster | Pods | Source | Purpose |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| Legacy `redis-node-*` | 1 master + 1 replica (2 sentinels) | Bitnami Helm chart v25.3.2 | Serving live traffic via HAProxy |
|
||||
| New `redis-v2-*` | 3 pods, each co-locating redis + sentinel + exporter | Raw `kubernetes_stateful_set_v1` with `redis:7.4-alpine` | Standing by for REPLICAOF-based cutover |
|
||||
Active cluster: `redis-v2-*` — 3 pods, each co-locating redis + sentinel + redis_exporter, using `docker.io/library/redis:8-alpine` (8.6.2). HAProxy backends point at `redis-v2-{0,1,2}.redis-v2-headless.redis.svc.cluster.local`. DBSIZE matched between old master and new at cutover; all data (including `immich_bull:*` and `_kombu.*` queues) preserved via chained `REPLICAOF`. Steady-state probe: 45/45 PING OK. Two chaos drills (kill master, sentinel failover) passed — first drill ~12s disruption, second ~1s after hostname fix below.
|
||||
|
||||
Both clusters live in the `redis` namespace. See `infra/stacks/redis/modules/redis/main.tf` (end-state; legacy `helm_release.redis` + `kubernetes_stateful_set_v1.redis_v2` coexist until cutover).
|
||||
Legacy `redis-node-*` StatefulSet is scaled to 0 (kept as cold rollback for 24h). Helm release `helm_release.redis` + PVCs `redis-data-redis-node-{0,1}` are pending Terraform removal in a follow-up commit (see beads follow-up task).

**Target architecture (post-cutover)**:
|
||||
**Architecture**:
|
||||
|
||||
- 3 redis pods + 3 co-located sentinels (quorum=2). Odd sentinel count eliminates split-brain.
|
||||
- `podManagementPolicy=Parallel` + init container that regenerates `sentinel.conf` on every boot by probing peer sentinels for consensus master. No persistent sentinel runtime state — can't drift out of sync with reality (root cause of 2026-04-19 PM incident).
|
||||
- `podManagementPolicy=Parallel` + init container that regenerates `sentinel.conf` on every boot by probing peer sentinels for consensus master (priority: sentinel vote → peer role:master with slaves → deterministic pod-0 fallback). No persistent sentinel runtime state — can't drift out of sync with reality (root cause of 2026-04-19 PM incident).
|
||||
- redis.conf has `include /shared/replica.conf`; the init container writes either an empty file (master) or `replicaof <master> 6379` (replicas), so pods come up already in the right role — no bootstrap race.
|
||||
- **Sentinel hostname persistence**: `sentinel resolve-hostnames yes` + `sentinel announce-hostnames yes` in the init-generated sentinel.conf are mandatory — without them, sentinel stores resolved IPs in its rewritten config, and pod-IP churn on restart breaks failover. The MONITOR command itself must be issued with a hostname and the flags must be active before MONITOR, otherwise sentinel stores an IP that goes stale the next time the pod is deleted.
|
||||
- Memory: master + replicas `requests=limits=768Mi`. Concurrent BGSAVE + AOF-rewrite fork can double RSS via COW, so headroom must cover it. `auto-aof-rewrite-percentage=200` + `auto-aof-rewrite-min-size=128mb` tune down rewrite frequency.
|
||||
- Persistence: RDB (`save 900 1 / 300 100 / 60 10000`) + AOF `appendfsync=everysec`. Disk-wear analysis on 2026-04-19 (sdb Samsung 850 EVO 1TB, 150 TBW): Redis contributes <1 GB/day cluster-wide → 40+ year runway at the 20% TBW budget.
|
||||
- `maxmemory=640mb` (83% of 768Mi limit), `maxmemory-policy=allkeys-lru`.
