# Full Cluster Rebuild ## When to Use - Complete cluster failure (all VMs lost) - etcd corruption requiring full rebuild - Proxmox host failure requiring fresh VM provisioning ## Prerequisites - Proxmox host (192.168.1.127) accessible - TrueNAS NFS server (192.168.1.2) accessible — or Synology NAS (192.168.1.13) for backups - Git repo with infra code - SOPS age keys for state decryption (`~/.config/sops/age/keys.txt`) - Vault unseal keys (emergency kit) ## Rebuild Order The rebuild must follow dependency order. Each layer depends on the one before it. ### Phase 1: Infrastructure (Proxmox VMs) ```bash # 1. Provision VMs via Terraform cd infra scripts/tg apply stacks/infra # 2. Wait for VMs to boot and be reachable # k8s-master, k8s-node3, k8s-node4, k8s-node5 (node1/2 excluded) ``` ### Phase 2: Kubernetes Control Plane ```bash # 3. Initialize kubeadm on master (if starting fresh) sudo kubeadm init --config /etc/kubernetes/kubeadm-config.yaml # 4. Join worker nodes # Get join command from master, run on each node # 5. OR restore etcd from snapshot (see restore-etcd.md) # This restores all K8s objects from the snapshot time ``` ### Phase 3: Storage Layer ```bash # 6. Deploy CSI drivers (NFS + iSCSI) scripts/tg apply stacks/nfs-csi scripts/tg apply stacks/iscsi-csi # 7. Verify PVs are accessible kubectl get pv kubectl get pvc -A | grep -v Bound ``` ### Phase 4: Vault (secrets foundation) ```bash # 8. Deploy Vault (see restore-vault.md for full procedure) scripts/tg apply stacks/vault # 9. Initialize/unseal/restore raft snapshot # 10. Verify ESO can connect scripts/tg apply stacks/external-secrets kubectl get externalsecrets -A ``` ### Phase 5: Platform Services ```bash # 11. Deploy platform stack (Traefik, monitoring, Kyverno, etc.) scripts/tg apply stacks/platform # 12. Verify ingress is working curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" https://viktorbarzin.me/ ``` ### Phase 6: Databases ```bash # 13. Deploy database stack scripts/tg apply stacks/dbaas # 14. Wait for CNPG and InnoDB clusters to initialize kubectl wait --for=condition=Ready cluster/pg-cluster -n dbaas --timeout=600s # 15. Restore PostgreSQL from dump (see restore-postgresql.md) # 16. Restore MySQL from dump (see restore-mysql.md) ``` ### Phase 7: Application Services ```bash # 17. Deploy remaining stacks in any order for stack in vaultwarden immich nextcloud linkwarden trading health; do scripts/tg apply stacks/$stack done # 18. Restore Vaultwarden (see restore-vaultwarden.md) ``` ### Phase 8: Verification ```bash # 19. Check all pods are running kubectl get pods -A | grep -v Running | grep -v Completed # 20. Check all ingresses respond kubectl get ingress -A -o jsonpath='{range .items[*]}{.spec.rules[0].host}{"\n"}{end}' | while read host; do code=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" "https://$host/" 2>/dev/null) echo "$host: $code" done # 21. Check monitoring # Verify Prometheus targets: https://prometheus.viktorbarzin.me/targets # Verify Alertmanager: https://alertmanager.viktorbarzin.me/ # 22. Run backup CronJobs manually to establish baseline kubectl create job --from=cronjob/backup-etcd manual-etcd-backup -n default kubectl create job --from=cronjob/postgresql-backup manual-pg-backup -n dbaas kubectl create job --from=cronjob/mysql-backup manual-mysql-backup -n dbaas kubectl create job --from=cronjob/vault-raft-backup manual-vault-backup -n vault kubectl create job --from=cronjob/vaultwarden-backup manual-vw-backup -n vaultwarden ``` ## Dependency Graph ``` etcd → K8s API → CSI Drivers → Vault → ESO → Platform → Databases → Apps ↓ Restore data from NFS/Synology backups ``` ## Estimated Time - Full cluster rebuild from scratch: ~2-4 hours - With etcd restore (objects preserved): ~1-2 hours - Individual service restore: ~10-30 minutes each
