+# Rebuild Minikube Cluster (DR)
+
+How to rebuild the minikube cluster from scratch after data loss (e.g., accidental `minikube delete`). This is a DR procedure — for normal restarts, see [[restart-indri]].
+
+> **This procedure was validated during a real DR event on 2026-04-13** after a power loss and accidental `minikube delete` destroyed all cluster state.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- SSH access to indri (dismiss the macOS tailscaled permission dialog first — see [[restart-indri#0. Dismiss macOS Permission Dialogs]])
+- Docker Desktop running on indri
+- Tailscale connected
+- 1Password CLI (`op`) authenticated
+
+## Before You Start
+
+### Clean Stale Tailscale Devices
+
+Before bringing up the Tailscale operator, **delete stale service devices from the Tailscale admin console** (admin.tailscale.com). Old devices from the destroyed cluster will cause name collisions (new devices get `-1`, `-2` suffixes).
+
+Look for offline tagged devices like: `pg`, `immich-pg`, `cnpg-metrics`, `ingress-0`, `ingress-1`, and any other `tag:k8s` devices that show "last seen" timestamps from before the rebuild.
+
+If you miss this step, you'll need to: delete stale devices from the console, delete the Tailscale state secrets in k8s (`kubectl delete secret -n tailscale <name>`), and restart the affected pods.
+
+> **Watch out for cross-cluster name collisions.** Both indri (minikube) and ringtail (k3s) use a ProxyGroup named `ingress`, producing pods named `ingress-0`, `ingress-1`. Deleting the wrong device can break the other cluster. Check which IPs are active before deleting. This is tech debt — the ProxyGroups should eventually be renamed to `indri-ingress` / `ringtail-ingress`.
+
+## Phase 1: Start Minikube
+
+```bash
+minikube start --driver=docker --container-runtime=docker \
+  --cpus=6 --memory=11264 --disk-size=200g \
+  --apiserver-names=k8s.tail8d86e.ts.net --apiserver-names=indri \
+  --apiserver-port=6443 --listen-address=0.0.0.0
+```
+
+Then run the ansible minikube role to configure Tailscale serve and registry mirrors:
+
+```bash
+mise run provision-indri -- --tags minikube
+```
+
+## Phase 2: Bootstrap Tailscale Operator
+
+The Tailscale operator must be deployed before ArgoCD (ArgoCD uses Tailscale Ingress).
+
+```bash
+# 1. Create namespace
+kubectl --context=minikube-indri create namespace tailscale
+
+# 2. Create OAuth secret manually (ExternalSecrets isn't available yet)
+CLIENT_ID=$(op read "op://blumeops/Tailscale K8s Operator OAuth/client-id")
+CLIENT_SECRET=$(op read "op://blumeops/Tailscale K8s Operator OAuth/client-secret")
+kubectl --context=minikube-indri create secret generic operator-oauth -n tailscale \
+  --from-literal=client_id="$CLIENT_ID" \
+  --from-literal=client_secret="$CLIENT_SECRET"
+
+# 3. Apply operator manifests
+#    NOTE: The kustomization fetches from forge.eblu.me which routes through
+#    Fly → Tailscale → k8s (not yet up). Use forge.ops.eblu.me or github.com/eblume/blumeops.
+#    Fetch the upstream manifest locally and build a temp kustomization:
+curl -s "https://forge.ops.eblu.me/mirrors/tailscale/raw/tag/v1.94.2/cmd/k8s-operator/deploy/manifests/operator.yaml" \
+  -o /tmp/ts-operator.yaml
+# (create temp kustomization referencing local file — see memory/project_dr_lessons_2026_04.md for details)
+kubectl --context=minikube-indri apply -k /tmp/ts-bootstrap/
+
+# 4. Apply ProxyGroup for ingress
+kubectl --context=minikube-indri apply -f argocd/manifests/tailscale-operator/proxygroup-ingress.yaml
+```
+
+## Phase 3: Bootstrap ArgoCD
+
+```bash
+# 1. Create namespace
+kubectl --context=minikube-indri create namespace argocd
+
+# 2. Apply ArgoCD (skip ExternalSecret resources — not available yet)
+#    Create a temp kustomization without external-secret-*.yaml resources.
+#    Use --server-side --force-conflicts for large CRDs (applicationsets).
+kubectl --context=minikube-indri apply -k /tmp/argocd-bootstrap/ --server-side --force-conflicts
+
+# 3. Wait for ArgoCD
+kubectl --context=minikube-indri wait --for=condition=available deployment/argocd-server -n argocd --timeout=300s
+
+# 4. Create forge SSH repo credentials
+PRIV_KEY=$(op read "op://vg6xf6vvfmoh5hqjjhlhbeoaie/csjncynh6htjvnh2l2da65y32q/private key?ssh-format=openssh")$'\n'
+KNOWN_HOSTS=$(ssh-keyscan -p 2222 forge.ops.eblu.me 2>/dev/null | grep ssh-rsa)
+kubectl --context=minikube-indri create secret generic repo-creds-forge -n argocd \
+  --from-literal=type=git \
+  --from-literal=url='ssh://forgejo@forge.ops.eblu.me:2222/' \
+  --from-literal=insecure=false \
+  --from-literal=sshPrivateKey="$PRIV_KEY" \
+  --from-literal=sshKnownHosts="$KNOWN_HOSTS"
+kubectl --context=minikube-indri label secret repo-creds-forge -n argocd argocd.argoproj.io/secret-type=repo-creds
+
+# 5. Apply app-of-apps
+kubectl --context=minikube-indri apply -f argocd/apps/argocd.yaml
+kubectl --context=minikube-indri apply -f argocd/apps/apps.yaml
+
+# 6. Login and sync apps
+argocd login argocd.tail8d86e.ts.net --username admin \
+  --password "$(kubectl --context=minikube-indri -n argocd get secret argocd-initial-admin-secret -o jsonpath='{.data.password}' | base64 -d)" \
+  --grpc-web
+argocd app sync apps --grpc-web
+```
+
+## Phase 4: Bootstrap 1Password Connect + External Secrets
+
+```bash
+# 1. Sync foundation
+argocd app sync external-secrets-crds --grpc-web
+argocd app sync external-secrets --grpc-web
+argocd app sync 1password-connect --grpc-web
+
+# 2. Create 1Password Connect secrets manually
+CREDS_RAW=$(op read "op://blumeops/1Password Connect/credentials-file")
+echo "$CREDS_RAW" | kubectl --context=minikube-indri create secret generic op-credentials -n 1password \
+  --from-file=1password-credentials.json=/dev/stdin
+TOKEN=$(op read "op://blumeops/1Password Connect/token")
+kubectl --context=minikube-indri create secret generic onepassword-token -n 1password \
+  --from-literal=token="$TOKEN"
+
+# 3. Wait for 1Password Connect to start, then restart External Secrets
+kubectl --context=minikube-indri wait --for=condition=available deployment/onepassword-connect -n 1password --timeout=120s
+kubectl --context=minikube-indri rollout restart deployment -n external-secrets external-secrets
+
+# 4. Verify ClusterSecretStore becomes Valid
+kubectl --context=minikube-indri get clustersecretstores
+```
+
+## Phase 5: Sync Services (Dependency Order)
+
+```bash
+# Foundation (CRDs, operators)
+argocd app sync cloudnative-pg kube-state-metrics --grpc-web
+
+# Databases
+argocd app sync blumeops-pg --grpc-web
+
+# Observability
+argocd app sync loki prometheus tempo grafana grafana-config --grpc-web
+
+# Register ringtail cluster (for authentik, ntfy, ollama, frigate)
+ssh ringtail 'sudo cat /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml' | \
+  sed 's|127.0.0.1|ringtail.tail8d86e.ts.net|' > /tmp/k3s-ringtail.yaml
+KUBECONFIG=/tmp/k3s-ringtail.yaml argocd cluster add default --name k3s-ringtail --grpc-web -y
+
+# Authentik (critical — Zot OIDC depends on it, most image pulls depend on Zot)
+argocd app sync authentik --grpc-web
+
+# Everything else
+argocd app sync tailscale-operator alloy-k8s --grpc-web
+# ... remaining apps
+```
+
+## Phase 6: Restore Databases from Borgmatic
+
+Databases come up empty. Restore from the latest borgmatic backup.
+
+```bash
+# Extract dumps
+ssh indri 'mkdir -p /tmp/borg-restore && borgmatic extract --repository /Volumes/backups/borg --archive latest --destination /tmp/borg-restore --path borgmatic/postgresql_databases'
+
+# Create databases that don't exist yet
+kubectl --context=minikube-indri exec -n databases blumeops-pg-1 -c postgres -- \
+  psql -U postgres -c "CREATE DATABASE teslamate OWNER teslamate;"
+kubectl --context=minikube-indri exec -n databases blumeops-pg-1 -c postgres -- \
+  psql -U postgres -c "CREATE DATABASE authentik OWNER authentik;"
+# (repeat for other DBs as needed)
+
+# For immich: create extensions BEFORE restoring
+kubectl --context=minikube-indri exec -n databases immich-pg-1 -c postgres -- \
+  psql -U postgres -d immich -c "CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vector; CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vchord CASCADE; CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS cube CASCADE; CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS earthdistance CASCADE; CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS pg_trgm; CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS unaccent; CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS \"uuid-ossp\";"
+
+# Restore (dumps are in custom format — use pg_restore, not psql)
+scp indri:/tmp/borg-restore/borgmatic/postgresql_databases/pg.ops.eblu.me:5432/miniflux /tmp/miniflux.sql
+kubectl --context=minikube-indri exec -i -n databases blumeops-pg-1 -c postgres -- \
+  pg_restore -U postgres -d miniflux --no-owner --role=miniflux < /tmp/miniflux.sql
+# (repeat for teslamate, authentik, immich)
+
+# Reset passwords to match current ExternalSecrets/CNPG-generated credentials
+# The restored dumps contain OLD password hashes
+PASS=$(kubectl --context=minikube-indri -n databases get secret blumeops-pg-app -o jsonpath='{.data.password}' | base64 -d)
+kubectl --context=minikube-indri exec -n databases blumeops-pg-1 -c postgres -- \
+  psql -U postgres -c "ALTER USER miniflux WITH PASSWORD '${PASS}';"
+# (repeat for each user with the appropriate secret source)
+
+# Create manually-managed DB secrets
+kubectl --context=minikube-indri create secret generic miniflux-db -n miniflux \
+  --from-literal=url="$(kubectl --context=minikube-indri -n databases get secret blumeops-pg-app -o jsonpath='{.data.uri}' | base64 -d)"
+kubectl --context=minikube-indri create secret generic immich-db -n immich \
+  --from-literal=password="$(kubectl --context=minikube-indri -n databases get secret immich-pg-app -o jsonpath='{.data.password}' | base64 -d)"
+```
+
+## Phase 7: Manual Fixups
+
+### Forge Tailscale Ingress + Endpoints
+
+The forge-external Endpoints must be applied manually (ArgoCD excludes Endpoints resources):
+
+```bash
+kubectl --context=minikube-indri apply -f argocd/manifests/tailscale-operator/svc-forge-external.yaml
+kubectl --context=minikube-indri apply -f argocd/manifests/tailscale-operator/ingress-forge.yaml
+kubectl --context=minikube-indri apply -f argocd/manifests/tailscale-operator/endpoints-forge.yaml
+```
+
+### Restart Fly.io Proxy
+
+After the Tailscale ingress ProxyGroup gets new VIPs, the Fly.io proxy's MagicDNS cache may be stale:
+
+```bash
+FLY_API_TOKEN=$(op read "op://blumeops/fly.io admin/deploy-token") fly machine restart <machine-id> --app blumeops-proxy
+```
+
+### Grafana SQLite
+
+If Grafana crashes with migration errors (`no such column: help_flags1`), delete its PVC and resync — Grafana is fully stateless (all config provisioned via ConfigMaps).
+
+## Phase 8: Verify
+
+```bash
+mise run services-check
+```
+
+## Known Circular Dependencies
+
+| Dependency | Breaks | Workaround |
+|-----------|--------|------------|
+| `forge.eblu.me` → Fly → Tailscale → k8s | tailscale-operator kustomization fetch | Fetch manifests from `forge.ops.eblu.me` or `github.com/eblume/blumeops` |
+| Forgejo Actions secrets → Forgejo API → Caddy → k8s | Full ansible playbook | Use `--tags minikube` during bootstrap |
+| Zot → Authentik OIDC | All container image pulls from Zot | Sync authentik early; Zot will crash-loop until OIDC is reachable |
+| ArgoCD Endpoints exclusion → forge-external | Forge Tailscale ingress has no backend | Manual `kubectl apply` for Endpoints |
