Summary

  • Document P6 (Kiwix/Transmission) blocker: podman driver cannot mount external volumes
  • Add P5.1 plan to migrate minikube from podman to QEMU2 driver
  • Update overview with corrected phase statuses and driver information

Background

P6 implementation (feature/p6-kiwix-transmission) was completed but blocked because all volume mount approaches failed with the podman driver:

Approach Result
NFS volume Failed - CAP_SYS_ADMIN required
SMB CSI driver Failed - EPERM in rootless container
minikube mount (9p) Failed - permission denied
hostPath Failed - path doesn't exist in container

Root cause: Podman driver runs minikube in a rootless container lacking kernel capabilities for filesystem mounts.

What's Next

  1. Merge this documentation PR
  2. Execute P5.1 (QEMU2 migration) in a fresh session
  3. Retry P6 with the QEMU2 driver

Deployment and Testing

  • No deployment needed - documentation only
  • ArgoCD apps reset to main
  • Cluster healthy (except kiwix/transmission intentionally offline)

P6 (Kiwix/Transmission) is blocked because podman driver cannot mount
external volumes (NFS, SMB, hostPath all fail due to missing CAP_SYS_ADMIN).

Changes:
- Add P5.1 plan to migrate minikube from podman to qemu2 driver
- Update P6 with blocker documentation and reference to feature branch
- Update overview with new phase and corrected driver info
- Mark P1-P5 as complete in overview

Implementation branch: feature/p6-kiwix-transmission (manifests complete, untested)
