Viktor Barzin fc233bd27f docs: comprehensive audit and update of all architecture docs and runbooks [ci skip]
Audited 14 documentation files against live cluster state and Terraform code.

Architecture docs:
- databases.md: MySQL 8.4.4, proxmox-lvm storage (not iSCSI), anti-affinity
  excludes k8s-node1 (GPU), 2Gi/3Gi resources, 7-day rotation (not 24h),
  CNPG 2 instances, PostGIS 16, postgresql.dbaas has endpoints
- overview.md: 1x CPU, ~160GB RAM, all nodes 32GB, proxmox-lvm storage,
  correct Vault paths (secret/ not kv/)
- compute.md: 272GB physical host RAM, ~160GB allocated to VMs
- secrets.md: 7-day rotation, 7 MySQL + 5 PG roles, correct ESO config
- networking.md: MetalLB pool 10.0.20.200-220
- ci-cd.md: 9 GHA projects, travel_blog 5.7GB

Runbooks:
- restore-mysql/postgresql: backup files are .sql.gz (not .sql)
- restore-vault: weekly backup (not daily), auto-unseal sidecar note
- restore-vaultwarden: PVC is proxmox (not iscsi)
- restore-full-cluster: updated node roles, removed trading

Reference docs:
- CLAUDE.md: 7-day rotation, removed trading from PG list
- AGENTS.md: 100+ stacks, proxmox-lvm, platform empty shell
- service-catalog.md: 6 new stacks, 14 stack column updates

Restore Vaultwarden

Prerequisites

  • kubectl access to the cluster
  • Backup available on NFS at /mnt/main/vaultwarden-backup/

Backup Location

  • NFS: /mnt/main/vaultwarden-backup/YYYY_MM_DD_HH_MM/ (directory per backup)
  • Each backup contains: db.sqlite3, rsa_key.pem, rsa_key.pub.pem, attachments/, sends/, config.json
  • Replicated to Synology NAS (192.168.1.13) via TrueNAS ZFS replication
  • Retention: 30 days
  • Schedule: Every 6 hours (00:00, 06:00, 12:00, 18:00)
  • Integrity check: Both source and backup are verified before/after each backup

Backup Contents

File Purpose Critical?
db.sqlite3 All passwords, TOTP seeds, org data Yes
rsa_key.pem / rsa_key.pub.pem JWT signing keys Yes — without these, all sessions invalidate
attachments/ File attachments on vault items Yes
sends/ Bitwarden Send files No
config.json Server configuration No — can be recreated

Restore Procedure

1. Identify the backup to restore

# List available backups (directories sorted by date)
kubectl run vw-ls --rm -it --image=alpine \
  --overrides='{"spec":{"volumes":[{"name":"backup","persistentVolumeClaim":{"claimName":"vaultwarden-backup"}}],"containers":[{"name":"vw-ls","image":"alpine","volumeMounts":[{"name":"backup","mountPath":"/backup"}],"command":["ls","-lt","/backup/"]}]}}' \
  -n vaultwarden

2. Scale down Vaultwarden

kubectl scale deployment vaultwarden -n vaultwarden --replicas=0

3. Restore the backup

BACKUP_DIR="YYYY_MM_DD_HH_MM"  # Set to desired backup

kubectl run vw-restore --rm -it --image=alpine \
  --overrides='{"spec":{"volumes":[{"name":"backup","persistentVolumeClaim":{"claimName":"vaultwarden-backup"}},{"name":"data","persistentVolumeClaim":{"claimName":"vaultwarden-data-proxmox"}}],"containers":[{"name":"vw-restore","image":"alpine","volumeMounts":[{"name":"backup","mountPath":"/backup"},{"name":"data","mountPath":"/data"}],"command":["/bin/sh","-c","cp /backup/'$BACKUP_DIR'/db.sqlite3 /data/db.sqlite3 && cp /backup/'$BACKUP_DIR'/rsa_key.pem /data/ && cp /backup/'$BACKUP_DIR'/rsa_key.pub.pem /data/ && cp -a /backup/'$BACKUP_DIR'/attachments /data/ 2>/dev/null; echo Restore complete"]}]}}' \
  -n vaultwarden

4. Scale up Vaultwarden

kubectl scale deployment vaultwarden -n vaultwarden --replicas=1

# Wait for pod to be ready
kubectl wait --for=condition=Ready pod -l app=vaultwarden -n vaultwarden --timeout=120s

5. Verify restoration

# Check pod logs for startup errors
kubectl logs -n vaultwarden -l app=vaultwarden --tail=20

# Test web UI access
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" https://vaultwarden.viktorbarzin.me/

6. Test login

Log in to the Vaultwarden web UI and verify:

  • Can log in with your account
  • Vault items are present and readable
  • Attachments are accessible
  • TOTP codes are generating correctly

Estimated Time

  • Restore: ~5 minutes
  • Verification: ~5 minutes
