## Summary
Mikado chain to replace `mise run services-check` with Grafana Unified Alerting backed by ntfy push notifications.
**Design:**
- Grafana Unified Alerting evaluates rules against Prometheus/Loki
- ntfy webhook contact point delivers iOS notifications
- Anti-noise policy: page once per 24h per alert group
- Every alert links to a runbook in `docs/how-to/alerts/`
- services-check eventually queries the alerting API instead of doing its own probes
**Chain (bottom-up):**
1. `configure-grafana-alerting-pipeline` — enable alerting, ntfy contact point, notification policy
2. `first-alert-and-runbook` — end-to-end proof of concept with blackbox probe failure
3. `port-services-check-alerts` — migrate all services-check probes to alert rules + runbooks
4. `refactor-services-check-to-query-alerts` — rewrite services-check to query Grafana API
5. `deploy-infra-alerting` — goal card

StatefulSet volumeClaimTemplates are immutable and minikube's hostpath
provisioner doesn't enforce PVC size limits anyway. Add comments noting
the data grows freely on the 1.8TB backing disk.

Bare image references in manifests were ambiguous — unclear whether the
tag was intentionally omitted or managed by kustomize. Add :kustomized
sentinel to all 37 image refs overridden by kustomize images transformer.
Add sync notes for tailscale-operator proxyclass (CRD fields not processed
by kustomize). Mark devpi reviewed (6.19.1 is current).

## Summary
- Add `cluster` label (indri/ringtail) to all Prometheus scrape jobs, Alloy k8s metrics/logs, and Alloy host metrics/logs
- Deploy kube-state-metrics on ringtail's k3s cluster (ArgoCD app + manifests)
- Deploy Alloy on ringtail to collect pod metrics and logs, remote-writing to indri's Prometheus and Loki
- Replace single-cluster "Minikube Kubernetes" and "K8s Services Health" dashboards with:
- **Kubernetes Clusters** dashboard — multi-cluster with `cluster` and `namespace` template variables
- **Ringtail (k3s)** dashboard — dedicated ringtail view with GPU usage panels
## Deployment and Testing
1. Sync `apps` on indri ArgoCD to pick up new app definitions (`kube-state-metrics-ringtail`, `alloy-ringtail`)
2. Sync `prometheus` → verify `cluster` label on scraped metrics
3. Sync `alloy-k8s` → verify `cluster=indri` on remote-written metrics and logs
4. Run `mise run provision-indri -- --tags alloy` → verify `cluster=indri` on host Alloy metrics/logs
5. Sync `kube-state-metrics-ringtail` → verify pods running on ringtail
6. Sync `alloy-ringtail` → verify pods running, check Prometheus for `kube_pod_info{cluster="ringtail"}`
7. Sync `grafana-config` → verify dashboards appear, cluster variable populates both values
8. Check Loki for `{cluster="ringtail"}` logs from ringtail pods
## Notes
- Alloy on ringtail uses `insecure_skip_verify=true` for TLS to Prometheus/Loki (Tailscale-managed certs not in container trust store) — tighten later
- DNS resolution for `*.tail8d86e.ts.net` from ringtail pods depends on CoreDNS inheriting host's MagicDNS resolver; may need CoreDNS forwarding rules if pods can't resolve
- The old services dashboard (blackbox probes) is removed — those probes are still running in alloy-k8s and the data is still in Prometheus, just not in a dedicated dashboard

## Summary
- Move hardcoded image tags to kustomization.yaml `images:` transformer across **22 services** — image names in manifests become version-agnostic templates, with tags centralized in one place per service
- Replace hand-written ConfigMap manifests with `configMapGenerator:` in **12 services** — config data extracted to standalone files, generated ConfigMaps include content hashes that trigger automatic pod rollouts on changes
- Create new `kustomization.yaml` for **forgejo-runner** and **nvidia-device-plugin** (switches ArgoCD from directory mode to kustomize mode, rendered output identical)
### Services modified
**Images only (8):** cv, devpi, docs, kube-state-metrics, miniflux, navidrome, teslamate, torrent
**Images + configMapGenerator (10):** alloy-k8s, forgejo-runner, frigate, grafana, homepage, kiwix, loki, mosquitto, ntfy, prometheus
**Images only, no configMapGenerator (4):** authentik (skip blueprints — special YAML tags), tailscale-operator-base (Deployment only, CRD image fields left as-is)
**Skipped entirely (6):** argocd (remote upstream), databases (no image fields), external-secrets, grafana-config (cross-kustomization dashboards), immich (Helm-managed), 1password-connect/cloudnative-pg (no kustomization.yaml)
### What changes at deploy time
- **images:** — no functional diff, `kustomize build` produces identical output with tags
- **configMapGenerator:** — ConfigMap names gain hash suffixes (e.g., `prometheus-config` → `prometheus-config-6f42fhctcb`) and all Deployment/StatefulSet/DaemonSet references are updated automatically. Pods will restart once per service on first sync due to the name change
## Test plan
- [x] `kubectl kustomize` builds all 30 service directories successfully
- [x] Image tags verified in rendered output for all modified services
- [x] ConfigMap hash suffixes verified in rendered output
- [x] ConfigMap references in Deployments/StatefulSets confirmed to use hashed names
- [x] All pre-commit hooks pass (yamllint, shellcheck, prettier, etc.)
- [ ] `argocd app diff` each service to confirm only expected ConfigMap name changes
- [ ] Deploy from branch starting with a low-risk service (e.g., mosquitto)

## Summary
- Add `smartctl_exporter` Docker container to sifaka for SMART disk health monitoring
- Formalize existing `node_exporter` container under Ansible management
- Route both exporters through Caddy L4 TCP proxy (`nas.ops.eblu.me:9100`, `nas.ops.eblu.me:9633`), replacing the hardcoded LAN IP in Prometheus
- Create "Sifaka Disk Health" Grafana dashboard (health status, temperature, wear indicators, lifetime)
- Introduce `ansible/playbooks/sifaka.yml` and `mise run provision-sifaka` — first Ansible playbook for the NAS
- Shared exporter port variables in `group_vars/all.yml` to avoid duplication between Caddy and sifaka roles
## Prerequisites before deploy
- [ ] Enable SSH on sifaka (DSM Control Panel > Terminal & SNMP)
- [ ] Verify `ssh eblume@sifaka 'docker ps'` works
- [ ] Run `mise run provision-sifaka` to deploy containers
- [ ] Run `mise run provision-indri -- --tags caddy` to add L4 routes
- [ ] `argocd app sync prometheus` + `argocd app sync grafana-config`
## Test plan
- [ ] Verify smartctl_exporter metrics: `curl http://nas.ops.eblu.me:9633/metrics`
- [ ] Verify Prometheus targets page shows both sifaka jobs as UP
- [ ] Verify Grafana "Sifaka Disk Health" dashboard loads with data

## Summary
- Introduce `tag:flyio-target` so services must explicitly opt in to be reachable by the fly.io proxy
- Replace broad `tag:k8s` and `tag:homelab` grants with the new tag in the ACL rule and test
- Add `tailscale.com/tags: "tag:k8s,tag:flyio-target"` annotation to docs, loki, and prometheus Ingresses
- Switch Alloy push endpoints from `*.ops.eblu.me` (Caddy) to `*.tail8d86e.ts.net` (Tailscale Ingress)
- Update docs: flyio-proxy, caddy, tailscale, forgejo (future public access + security checklist), expose-service-publicly
## Manual step (not in PR)
Update the k8s operator OAuth client in the Tailscale admin console to include `tag:flyio-target` in its scope. Without this, the operator cannot assign the new tag to Ingress proxy nodes.
## Deployment order
1. **Pulumi ACLs** — `mise run tailnet-preview && mise run tailnet-up`
2. **OAuth client** — Manual update in Tailscale admin console
3. **K8s Ingresses** — `argocd app sync apps && argocd app sync docs loki prometheus`
4. **Fly.io proxy** — `mise run fly-deploy`
5. **Verify** — `mise run services-check`, check Grafana dashboards
## Test plan
- [ ] `mise run tailnet-preview` shows clean diff
- [ ] `argocd app diff docs`, `argocd app diff loki`, `argocd app diff prometheus` show only annotation additions
- [ ] After deploy: Grafana dashboards show continued log/metric flow
- [ ] `curl -sf https://docs.eblu.me` returns 200
- [ ] `mise run services-check` passes

## Summary
- Remove hajimari (unmaintained since Oct 2022, broken helm deps)
- Add gethomepage (28k stars, actively maintained, monthly releases)
- Migrate custom apps, bookmarks, and search config
- Enable k8s RBAC for service autodiscovery
- Configure Tailscale ingress at go.tail8d86e.ts.net
## Why the switch
Hajimari hasn't released since October 2022. The helm chart has a broken
dependency (bjw-s/common URL is 404), and unreleased code on main has bugs.
gethomepage has similar k8s autodiscovery via ingress annotations and is
very actively maintained.
## Deployment and Testing
- [ ] Delete hajimari app from ArgoCD
- [ ] Delete hajimari namespace
- [ ] Sync apps to pick up new homepage app
- [ ] Sync homepage app
- [ ] Verify go.ops.eblu.me loads
