Repository guide for OpenCode sessions in this repo.

Read First

• Trust manifests and workflows over prose when they conflict.
• Highest-value sources: terraform/main.tf, terraform/variables.tf, ansible/site.yml, clusters/prod/flux-system/, infrastructure/addons/kustomization.yaml, .gitea/workflows/deploy.yml, .gitea/workflows/destroy.yml, README.md, STABLE_BASELINE.md, scripts/refresh-kubeconfig.sh, scripts/smoke-check-tailnet-services.sh.

Current Baseline

• HA private cluster: 3 control planes, 5 workers on Proxmox.
• Proxmox clones come from template 9000 on node flex; API VIP is 10.27.27.40 via kube-vip.
• Storage is nfs-subdir-external-provisioner backed by 10.27.27.239:/TheFlash/k8s-nfs with StorageClass flash-nfs.
• Tailscale is the private access path for Rancher and shared services.
• Rancher, Grafana, and Prometheus are exposed through Tailscale; Flux UI / Weave GitOps is removed.
• apps/ is suspended by default.
• Rancher stores state in embedded etcd; backup/restore uses rancher-backup to B2.

Common Commands

• Terraform: terraform -chdir=terraform fmt -recursive, terraform -chdir=terraform validate, terraform -chdir=terraform plan -var-file=../terraform.tfvars, terraform -chdir=terraform apply -var-file=../terraform.tfvars
• Ansible: ansible-galaxy collection install -r ansible/requirements.yml, cd ansible && python3 generate_inventory.py, ansible-playbook -i ansible/inventory.ini ansible/site.yml --syntax-check, ansible-playbook ansible/site.yml
• Flux/Kustomize: kubectl kustomize infrastructure/addons/<addon>, kubectl kustomize clusters/prod/flux-system
• Kubeconfig refresh: scripts/refresh-kubeconfig.sh <cp1-ip>
• Tailnet smoke check: ssh ubuntu@<cp1-ip> 'bash -s' < scripts/smoke-check-tailnet-services.sh

Workflow Rules

• Keep diffs small and validate only the directory you edited.
• Update manifests and docs together when behavior changes.
• Use set -euo pipefail in workflow shell blocks.
• CI deploy order is Terraform -> Ansible -> Flux bootstrap -> Rancher restore -> health checks.
• One object per Kubernetes YAML file; keep filenames kebab-case.
• If kubectl points at localhost:8080 after a rebuild, refresh kubeconfig from the primary control-plane IP.
• Bootstrap assumptions that matter: SSH user is ubuntu, NIC is ens18, API join endpoint is the kube-vip address.

Repo-Specific Gotchas

• rancher-backup uses a postRenderer to swap the broken hook image to rancher/kubectl:v1.34.0; do not put S3 config in HelmRelease values. Put it in the Backup CR.
• Tailscale cleanup only runs before service proxies exist; it removes stale offline rancher/grafana/prometheus/flux devices, then must stop so live proxies are not deleted.
• Keep the Tailscale operator on the stable Helm repo https://pkgs.tailscale.com/helmcharts at 1.96.5 unless you have a reason to change it.
• The repo no longer uses a cloud controller manager. If you see providerID or Hetzner-specific logic, it is stale.
• Current private URLs:
  • Rancher: https://rancher.silverside-gopher.ts.net/
  • Grafana: http://grafana.silverside-gopher.ts.net/
  • Prometheus: http://prometheus.silverside-gopher.ts.net:9090/

Secrets

• Runtime secrets live in Doppler + External Secrets.
• Bootstrap and CI secrets stay in Gitea; never commit secrets, kubeconfigs, or private keys.
