Replace the cramped Synapse deployment with tuwunel v1.7.1: embedded RocksDB drops the CNPG dependency (both init-containers, the db ESO, the Reloader annotation all gone), env-var config, fsGroup-owned encrypted PVC, federation on, tuwunel-served well-known delegation to :443. server_name unchanged (matrix.viktorbarzin.me); fresh start (no Synapse->RocksDB migration path). Registered @viktor admin then disabled registration (403). Cleanup: removed the orphaned pg-matrix Vault static role and dropped the matrix Postgres DB/role; updated service-catalog, upgrade-config, CLAUDE.md PG-rotation list, and the Matrix OIDC->orphaned auth notes. Design+plan in docs/plans/2026-06-08-matrix-synapse-to-tuwunel-*. Already applied via scripts/tg (matrix tier-1 + targeted vault tier-0), so [ci skip] to avoid CI reconciling an unrelated pre-existing vault OIDC tune-TTL drift.

# Matrix: Synapse → tuwunel migration — Plan (executed)
|
|
|
|
**Date:** 2026-06-08 · **Companion:** `2026-06-08-matrix-synapse-to-tuwunel-design.md`
|
|
|
|
## Executed steps
|
|
|
|
1. **Vault** — generated a 32-byte `registration_token`, stored at
|
|
`secret/matrix`.
|
|
2. **`stacks/matrix` rewrite** — replaced Synapse with tuwunel: removed the
|
|
`matrix-db-creds` ExternalSecret, both init-containers (`install-psycopg2`,
|
|
`inject-db-password`), the `extra-packages` volume, and the Reloader
|
|
annotation; added the `matrix-secrets` ExternalSecret (vault-kv `dataFrom`),
|
|
the `TUWUNEL_*` env, `securityContext` 1000, and the tuwunel image. Encrypted
|
|
PVC, Service (`80→8008`), and ingress (`auth="none"`, proxied) unchanged.
|
|
- The image is in the deployment's `ignore_changes` (KEEL_IGNORE_IMAGE); it
|
|
was **temporarily un-ignored** for this base-image swap, then re-added at
|
|
step 4 so Keel resumes tag management.
|
|
- `tg init -reconfigure` was required first (Tier-1 PG-backend creds rotate
|
|
weekly → "Backend configuration block has changed").
|
|
3. **Apply** — `Plan: 1 to add, 2 to change, 1 to destroy`. tuwunel 1.7.1 came up
|
|
1/1, created a fresh RocksDB on the encrypted PVC (no permission errors —
|
|
fsGroup worked).
|
|
4. **Verify** — all `200`: `/_tuwunel/server_version`, `.well-known/matrix/
|
|
{client,server}`, `/_matrix/client/versions`, `/_matrix/federation/v1/version`.
|
|
Registered `@viktor:matrix.viktorbarzin.me` (first user → admin) via the token
|
|
flow; `whoami` confirmed. Creds stored at `secret/matrix`
|
|
(`admin_user`, `admin_password`).
|
|
5. **Lock down** — `TUWUNEL_ALLOW_REGISTRATION=false` + re-added image
|
|
`ignore_changes`; applied. Registration now returns `403 M_FORBIDDEN`.
|
|
6. **Cleanup** —
|
|
- `stacks/vault`: removed the `pg_matrix` static role + its `allowed_roles`
|
|
entry (targeted apply — the full plan also wanted an **unrelated** OIDC
|
|
`tune`-TTL change, deliberately NOT applied; see residual items).
|
|
- Dropped the orphaned `matrix` Postgres DB (16 MB) + `matrix` role on the
|
|
CNPG primary (`pg-cluster-2`).
|
|
- Docs updated: `.claude/CLAUDE.md` (PG-rotation list), `service-catalog.md`,
|
|
`upgrade-config.json` (removed synapse image-rename + matrix PG entry),
|
|
`authentication.md` + `authentik-state.md` (Matrix OIDC → orphaned).
|
|
|
|
## Rollback
|
|
|
|
Fresh start was confirmed, so there is no Synapse data to preserve. To revert the
|
|
*service*: restore the Synapse `main.tf` from git, re-add the `pg_matrix` Vault
|
|
role, and restore the `matrix` Postgres DB from the daily per-db dump
|
|
(`/backup/per-db/matrix/`). The reused encrypted PVC still holds Synapse's old
|
|
`homeserver.yaml` / signing key / media at the volume root alongside the new
|
|
RocksDB dir.
|
|
|
|
## Residual / follow-up items (flagged to user)
|
|
|
|
- **Authentik Matrix OAuth2 app is now orphaned** — tuwunel uses native password
|
|
auth (OIDC SSO not wired). Harmless; can be removed from the authentik stack
|
|
later if desired.
|
|
- **Pre-existing drift in `stacks/vault`**: `vault_jwt_auth_backend.oidc` shows a
|
|
`tune` diff (explicit `768h` default/max lease TTLs being dropped). This
|
|
predates this migration and was **not** applied. Resolve separately.
|
|
- **Synapse leftover files** remain on the encrypted PVC volume root (unused by
|
|
tuwunel). Can be `rm`'d after confidence in the new server.
