Viktor Barzin 288efa89b3 vault: migrate vault-0 storage to proxmox-lvm-encrypted
Phase 2 of the NFS-hostile migration: data + audit storageClass on
the vault helm release switches from nfs-proxmox to
proxmox-lvm-encrypted, then per-pod rolling swap (24h soak between).

vault-0 swap done. vault-1 + vault-2 still on NFS — the rolling part
is what makes this safe (raft quorum maintained by 2 healthy pods
while one is replaced).

Also restores chart-default pod securityContext fields. The previous
`statefulSet.securityContext.pod = {fsGroupChangePolicy = "..."}`
block REPLACED (not merged) the chart's defaults — fsGroup,
runAsGroup, runAsUser, runAsNonRoot were all silently dropped. NFS
exports were permissive enough to mask the missing fsGroup; ext4 LV
volume root is root:root and the vault user (UID 100) couldn't open
vault.db, CrashLoopBackOff. Fix: provide all five fields explicitly,
survives future chart bumps. vault-1 and vault-2 retained their
correct securityContext from when their pod specs were written to
etcd, before the partial customization landed — the bug only surfaces
when a pod is recreated.

Pre-flight raft snapshot saved at /tmp/vault-pre-migration-*.snap
(recovery anchor).

# NFS-Hostile Workload Migration — Plan
**Date**: 2026-04-25
**Design**: `2026-04-25-nfs-hostile-migration-design.md`
**Beads**: code-gy7h (Vault, epic), code-ahr7 (Immich PG)
## Phase 1 — Immich PG (DONE 2026-04-25)
| Step | Done |
|---|---|
| Snapshot extensions + row counts to `/tmp/immich-pre-migration-*` | ✓ |
| Quiesce `immich-server` + `immich-machine-learning` + `immich-frame` | ✓ |
| `pg_dumpall``/tmp/immich-pre-migration-<ts>.sql` (1.9 GB) | ✓ |
| Add `kubernetes_persistent_volume_claim.immich_postgresql_encrypted` (10Gi, autoresize 20Gi cap) | ✓ |
| Swap `claim_name` at `infra/stacks/immich/main.tf` deployment | ✓ |
| Patch init container to gate on `PG_VERSION` (chicken-and-egg fix) | ✓ |
| Force pod restart so override.conf gets written | ✓ |
| Restore dump | ✓ |
| `REINDEX clip_index`, `REINDEX face_index` | ✓ |
| Scale apps back up | ✓ |
| Verify: `\dx`, row counts (~111k assets), HTTP 200 internal/external | ✓ |
| LV present on PVE host (`vm-9999-pvc-...`) | ✓ |
### Phase 1 follow-ups (not blocking)
- Old NFS PVC `immich-postgresql-data-host` retained 7 days for
rollback. After 2026-05-02: remove `module.nfs_postgresql_host`
from `infra/stacks/immich/main.tf` and the CronJob's reference.
- Backup CronJob (`postgresql-backup`) still writes to the NFS
module. After cleanup, point it at a dedicated backup PVC or to
the existing `immich-backups` NFS share.
## Phase 2 — Vault Raft (IN PROGRESS)
### Pre-flight (T-0) — DONE 2026-04-25 15:50 UTC
- [x] Verify all 3 vault pods sealed=false, raft healthy.
- [x] Take fresh `vault operator raft snapshot save` (anchor saved at
`/tmp/vault-pre-migration-20260425-155029.snap`, 1.5 MB).
- [ ] Optional: scale ESO to 0 — skipped (auto-unseal sidecar is
independent; ESO refresh churn is non-disruptive for one swap).
- [x] Confirmed leader is **vault-2** → migrate vault-0 first
(non-leader), vault-1 next, vault-2 last (with step-down).
Plan originally assumed vault-0 was leader; same intent
(non-leader first).
- [x] Thin pool headroom: 54.63% used, plenty for 6 × 2 GiB LVs.
### Step 0 — Helm values + StatefulSet swap — DONE 2026-04-25 16:08 UTC
- [x] Edit `infra/stacks/vault/main.tf`: change
`dataStorage.storageClass` and `auditStorage.storageClass`
from `nfs-proxmox``proxmox-lvm-encrypted`.
- [x] `kubectl -n vault delete sts vault --cascade=orphan` (StatefulSet
`volumeClaimTemplates` is immutable; orphan keeps pods+PVCs
alive while we recreate the controller with the new template).
- [x] `tg apply -target=helm_release.vault` → recreates STS with new
VCT (full-stack `tg plan` blocks on unrelated for_each-with-
apply-time-keys errors at lines 848/865/909/917; targeted
apply on the helm release alone is the right scope here).
Existing pods still on old NFS PVCs.
### Step 1 — Roll vault-0 first (non-leader) — DONE 2026-04-25 16:18 UTC
- [x] `kubectl -n vault delete pod vault-0 --grace-period=30`
- [x] `kubectl -n vault delete pvc data-vault-0 audit-vault-0`
- [x] STS controller recreated pod; new PVCs auto-provisioned on
`proxmox-lvm-encrypted` (LVs `vm-9999-pvc-fb732fd7-...` data
4.12%, `vm-9999-pvc-36451f42-...` audit 3.99%).
- [x] **Hit and fixed**: vault-0 CrashLoopBackOff'd with
`permission denied` on `/vault/data/vault.db`. The helm chart's
`statefulSet.securityContext.pod` block in main.tf only set
`fsGroupChangePolicy`, replacing (not merging) the chart's
defaults `fsGroup=1000, runAsGroup=1000, runAsUser=100,
runAsNonRoot=true`. NFS exports made the missing fsGroup a
no-op; ext4 LV needs it to chown the volume root for the
vault user. Old vault-1/vault-2 pods were created before that
block was added so they still had the chart-default
securityContext from their original spec. Fix: provide all
five fields explicitly in main.tf and re-apply. Same root
cause will affect vault-1 and vault-2 swaps unless this stays
in place.
- [x] Wait Ready; auto-unseal sidecar unsealed; `retry_join` rejoined
raft cluster.
- [x] Verify: `vault operator raft list-peers` shows 3 voters,
vault-0 follower, leader=vault-2. External HTTPS 200.
### Step 2 — 24h soak (IN PROGRESS, ends ~2026-04-26 16:18 UTC)
Wait 24h. Confirm no Raft alarms, no Vault errors, downstream
healthy. Rollback window for vault-0 closes here.
### Step 3 — Roll vault-1 (T+24h)
Same shape as Step 1. The securityContext fix is now in main.tf
so this should be straightforward.
### Step 4 — 24h soak
### Step 5 — Roll vault-2 (T+48h, leader)
- [ ] Step-down vault-2 first:
`kubectl -n vault exec vault-2 -- vault operator step-down`.
- [ ] Then delete pod + PVCs as Step 1.
### Step 6 — Cleanup
- [ ] Re-enable ESO if disabled: `kubectl -n external-secrets scale deploy external-secrets --replicas=2`.
- [ ] Verify `kubectl get pvc -A | grep nfs-proxmox` returns zero
live-data results (only backup-host should remain, if any).
- [ ] If no consumers: remove inline `kubernetes_storage_class.nfs_proxmox`
from `infra/stacks/vault/main.tf` (lines 29-42).
### Verify (after each pod, then again at the end)
- [ ] All 3 PVC pairs on `proxmox-lvm-encrypted`.
- [ ] `vault operator raft autopilot state` healthy=true.
- [ ] External `https://vault.viktorbarzin.me/v1/sys/health` = 200.
- [ ] `vault-raft-backup` CronJob completes overnight (writes to NFS,
stays NFS — correct).
- [ ] No Prometheus alerts (`VaultSealed`, `VaultLeaderless`).
## Phase 3 — Released-PV cleanup (FOLLOW-UP)
After Phase 1+2 land cleanly, ~30 PVs in `Released` hold dead LVs.
Reclaim by:
1. List Released PVs, confirm LV exists on PVE.
2. `kubectl delete pv <name>` (CSI removes underlying LV when PV is
orphaned with `Retain` reclaim policy and no PVC reference).
3. If LV survives: manual `lvremove pve/vm-9999-pvc-<uuid>`.
## Rollback
| Phase | Trigger | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Immich UI broken / data loss | Revert `claim_name`; restore from `/tmp/immich-pre-migration-*.sql` to old NFS PVC |
| 2 (mid-rolling) | Single pod broken | Delete the encrypted PVC; recreate with NFS SC explicitly; cluster keeps quorum from 2 healthy pods |
| 2 (post-rolling, raft corrupt) | Cluster-wide failure | `vault operator raft snapshot restore <pre-migration.snap>` |
| Catastrophic | All Vault data lost | Restore from latest `/srv/nfs/vault-backup/` snapshot via CronJob output |
