194281e527 right-size cluster memory: reduce overprovisioned, fix under-provisioned services
Phase 1 - Quick wins (~4.5 Gi saved):
- democratic-csi: add explicit sidecar resources (64-80Mi vs 256Mi LimitRange default)
- caretta: 768Mi → 600Mi (VPA upper 485Mi)
- immich-ml: 4Gi → 3584Mi (VPA upper 2.95Gi, GPU margin)
- onlyoffice: 3Gi → 2304Mi (VPA upper 1.82Gi)

Phase 2 - Safety fixes (prevent OOMKills):
- frigate: 2Gi/8Gi → 5Gi/10Gi (VPA upper 7.7Gi, was 4% headroom)
- openclaw: 1280Mi req → 2Gi req=limit (documented 2Gi requirement)

Phase 3 - Additional right-sizing:
- authentik workers: 1Gi → 896Mi x3 (VPA upper 722Mi)
- shlink: 512Mi/768Mi → 960Mi req=limit (VPA upper 780Mi, safety increase)

Phase 4 - Burstable QoS for lower tiers:
- tier-3-edge: 128Mi/128Mi → 96Mi req / 192Mi limit
- tier-4-aux: 128Mi/128Mi → 64Mi req / 256Mi limit

Phase 5 - Monitoring:
- Add ClusterMemoryRequestsHigh alert (>85% allocatable, 15m)
- Add ContainerNearOOM alert (>85% limit, 30m)
- Add PodUnschedulable alert (5m, critical)

Cluster: 92.7% → 90.8% memory requests. Stirling-pdf now schedulable.

23019da8e5 equalize memory req=lim across 70+ containers using Prometheus 7d max data
After node2 OOM incident, right-size memory across the cluster by setting
requests=limits based on max_over_time(container_memory_working_set_bytes[7d])
with 1.3x headroom. Eliminates ~37Gi overcommit gap.

Categories:
- Safe equalization (50 containers): set req=lim where max7d well within target
- Limit increases (8 containers): raise limits for services spiking above current
- No Prometheus data (12 containers): conservatively set lim=req
- Exception: nextcloud keeps req=256Mi/lim=8Gi due to Apache memory spikes

Also increased dbaas namespace quota from 12Gi to 16Gi to accommodate mysql
4Gi limits across 3 replicas.

6377a8b85b Monitoring overhaul: reduce noise, add coverage gaps, auto-load dashboards
Noise reduction (8 alerts tuned):
- PoisonFountainDown: 2m→5m, critical→warning (fail-open service)
- NodeExporterDown: 2m→5m (flaps during node restarts)
- PowerOutage: add for:1m (debounce transient voltage dips)
- New Tailscale client: add for:5m (debounce headscale reauths)
- NoNodeLoadData: use absent() instead of OR vector(0)==0
- NodeHighCPUUsage: 30%→60% (normal for 70+ services)
- HighMemoryUsage GPU: 12GB/5m→14GB/15m (T4=16GB, model loading)
- PrometheusStorageFull: 50GiB→150GiB (TSDB cap is 180GB)

Alert regrouping:
- Move MailServerDown, HackmdDown, PrivatebinDown → new "Application Health"
- Move New Tailscale client → "Infrastructure Health"

New alerts (14):
- Networking: Cloudflared (2), MetalLB (2), Technitium DNS
- Storage: NFS CSI, iSCSI CSI controllers
- Critical Services: PgBouncer, CNPG operator, MySQL operator
- Infra Health: CrowdSec, Kyverno, Sealed Secrets, Woodpecker

Inhibit rules:
- Consolidate 3 NodeDown rules into 1 comprehensive rule
- Extend NFS rule to suppress NFS-dependent services
- Add PowerOutage → downstream suppression

Dashboard loading:
- Add for_each ConfigMap in grafana.tf to auto-load all 18 dashboards
- Remove duplicate caretta dashboard ConfigMap from caretta.tf

b00f810d3d Remove all CPU limits cluster-wide to eliminate CFS throttling
CPU limits cause CFS throttling even when nodes have idle capacity.
Move to a request-only CPU model: keep CPU requests for scheduling
fairness but remove all CPU limits. Memory limits stay (incompressible).

Changes across 108 files:
- Kyverno LimitRange policy: remove cpu from default/max in all 6 tiers
- Kyverno ResourceQuota policy: remove limits.cpu from all 5 tiers
- Custom ResourceQuotas: remove limits.cpu from 8 namespace quotas
- Custom LimitRanges: remove cpu from default/max (nextcloud, onlyoffice)
- RBAC module: remove cpu_limits variable and quota reference
- Freedify factory: remove cpu_limit variable and limits reference
- 86 deployment files: remove cpu from all limits blocks
- 6 Helm values files: remove cpu under limits sections

ce79bd5c04 Add node hang instrumentation and scale down chromium services
- Add journald collection to Alloy (loki.source.journal) for kernel OOM,
  panic, hung task, and soft lockup detection — ships system logs off-node
  so they survive hard resets
- Add 5 Loki alerting rules (KernelOOMKiller, KernelPanic, KernelHungTask,
  KernelSoftLockup, ContainerdDown) evaluating against node-journal logs
- Fix Loki ruler config: correct rules mount path (/var/loki/rules/fake),
  add alertmanager_url and enable_api
- Add Prometheus alerts: NodeMemoryPressureTrending (>85%), NodeExporterDown,
  NodeHighIOWait (>30%)
- Add caretta tolerations for control-plane and GPU nodes
- Scale down chromium-based services to 0 for cluster stability:
  f1-stream, flaresolverr, changedetection, resume/printer

d352d6e7f8 resource quota review: fix OOM risks, close quota gaps, add HA protections
Phase 1 - OOM fixes:
- dashy: increase memory limit 512Mi→1Gi (was at 99% utilization)
- caretta DaemonSet: set explicit resources 300Mi/512Mi (was at 85-98%)
- mysql-operator: add Helm resource values 256Mi/512Mi, create namespace
  with tier label (was at 92% of LimitRange default)
- prowlarr, flaresolverr, annas-archive-stacks: add explicit resources
  (outgrowing 256Mi LimitRange defaults)
- real-estate-crawler celery: add resources 512Mi/3Gi (608Mi actual, no
  explicit resources)

Phase 2 - Close quota gaps:
- nvidia, real-estate-crawler, trading-bot: remove custom-quota=true
  labels so Kyverno generates tier-appropriate quotas
- descheduler: add tier=1-cluster label for proper classification

Phase 3 - Reduce excessive quotas:
- monitoring: limits.memory 240Gi→64Gi, limits.cpu 120→64
- woodpecker: limits.memory 128Gi→32Gi, limits.cpu 64→16
- GPU tier default: limits.memory 96Gi→32Gi, limits.cpu 48→16

Phase 4 - Kubelet protection:
- Add cpu: 200m to systemReserved and kubeReserved in kubelet template

Phase 5 - HA improvements:
- cloudflared: add topology spread (ScheduleAnyway) + PDB (maxUnavailable:1)
- grafana: add topology spread + PDB via Helm values
- crowdsec LAPI: add topology spread + PDB via Helm values
- authentik server: add topology spread via Helm values
- authentik worker: add topology spread + PDB via Helm values

87fc11121d fix: use plain string for cache_from/cache_to and fix caretta helm_release
- cache_from/cache_to must be plain strings, not YAML lists — the
  plugin-docker-buildx treats them as single string values and the
  Woodpecker settings layer was splitting comma-separated list items
  into separate --cache-from flags (type=registry and ref=... separately)
- caretta.tf: replace deprecated set{} blocks with values=[yamlencode()]
  to fix Terraform plan error with newer Helm provider
