Julien LutranandClaude Opus 5 66c7bca28f ks2: ks4 pull leg and its WireGuard tunnel move from nuc to nas
nuc-seed.md -> nas-seed.md. The leg was designed around nuc's USB pool,
which is exactly the device it must not depend on. Target pool ks4backup
now lives on tank; nas becomes WG peer 10.8.0.22 and nuc's tunnel retires
once seeded — nuc no longer needs one at all, since transmission-bt (the
only other user) moved to nas with its own in-container tunnel.

ks4 needs no change: traffic arrives masqueraded as the wireguard
container whichever peer sent it.

ks2 decommission — summary plan

Goal: release ks2.lutran.fr (164.132.173.57, SSH :2233, host ns3247221) once ks4 has a real 3-2-1 backup without it. Deadline: rental ends Sep 30, 2026.

What ks2 does today (updated 2026-08-28)

Nothing is written to ks2 any more. Both feeds are retired: the 01:00 replica push (replaced by the local leg on ks4's sdb5 pool, local-backup-cron.md) and the 04:00 incus-backup.sh rsync (replaced by restic → S3, restic-backup.md).

What remains on the box is cold history: instance replicas on pool data (last refreshed 2026-08-09) and the rsync tree /backup/ns3061243 on pool backup (last refreshed 2026-08-28), snapshotted daily there (zfs-auto-snapshot.sh, 2-month expiry).

⚠️ While the nas leg waits for FTTH, instances have no fresh off-site copy — the ks2 push is to be re-enabled as soon as the initial restic sync finishes (decided 2026-08-28), and retired again when nas takes over. (The leg moved from nuc to the new host nas on 2026-08-30 — see nas-seed.md.)

Inventory findings (2026-08-22)

  • biwiki exists only on ks2, spot only on ks2 + ks4's backup project — decision: both abandoned, safe to delete from backups.
  • incus-backup.db is stale (lists spot, misses livetrail, outline, login, …) — forgotten-manifest drift is exactly what the replacement had to eliminate — restic's drivers back up all instances and auto-discover all databases, opt-out instead of opt-in.
  • livetrail (running on ks4) is absent from ks4's local backup project — the local leg was run manually once and never again; automating its cron fixes this.
  • Both ks4 backup crons were commented out — no ks4 backup ran at all (hence the stale ks2 rsync data: dirs Jul 23, incus dumps Aug 9). Fixed 2026-08-22 — see local-backup-cron.md.
  • /backup/ns3061243 also holds pre-2023 dirs (catc, mythoughts, qcm) — those instances still exist stopped on ks4, so nothing unique expected there; spot-check before wiping.
  • Losing ks2 also loses its 2 months of rsync-snapshot history — acceptable: restic keeps 14 daily / 8 weekly / 6 monthly.

Target architecture (3-2-1 for ks4)

Leg Mechanism Status
local, 2nd disk incus-copy.sh -p backup -s backup → sdb5 pool live (01:00)
off-site, S3 (data+DB) restic → bucket restic-data (restic-backup.md) live (05:00)
off-site, S3 (instances) restic over incus file mount of the backup-project replicas shelved 2026-08-28 (replication covers instances)
off-site, nas nas pulls ks4:* → pool ks4backup over WG (nas-seed.md) waiting FTTH (< Sep 30); moved off nuc 2026-08-30
off-site, ks2 (interim) incus-copy.sh -d ks2 -m push at 02:00 until the nas leg seeds to re-enable once the restic seed finishes

Actions (backup work documented in ../ks4/, ks2-only tasks here)

  1. salvage biwiki/spot — decided 2026-08-22: both abandoned, deleted from ks2 and ks4's backup project
  2. local-backup-cron.mddone 2026-08-22: leg 1 cron re-enabled, ks2 rsync kept as stopgap; livetrail verified present in the backup project
  3. first S3 legrestic is the S3 tool (restic-backup.md, live 2026-08-28; the predecessor's doc is kept as reference)
  4. instance leg to S3shelved 2026-08-28: instances are protected by replication (sdb + nas/ks2), their data and configs by restic-data
  5. nas-seed.mdprepared; after FTTH: seed the nas pull leg, verify all instances, test-restore one
  6. decommission.mdprepared; cut flows, final diff of /backup/ns3061243, wipe pools, terminate at OVH

Release gates — ks2 can be dropped only when

  • biwiki + spot consciously abandoned (2026-08-22)
  • local leg cron running since 2026-08-22, 18/18 instances replicated (verified 2026-08-28)
  • nas leg fully seeded and one instance test-restored
  • restic S3 backups live (05:00) and restore drill passed 2026-08-28: tree restored byte-identical to live, dump restored and loaded into a scratch MariaDB (12/12 tables)
  • ks4 crons pointing at ks2 disabled
