# ks4 — prod server setup & rebuild procedure
|
||
|
||
Prod Incus host at OVH (`ks4.lutran.fr` → `193.70.35.17`, SSH on port
|
||
**2233**). This is a scan-derived snapshot of how the box is currently
|
||
laid out plus the steps to rebuild the host layer. Per-instance rebuild
|
||
docs are still TODO — see [Instances](#instances).
|
||
|
||
> Scanned 2026-08-09 as `julien` (in groups `sudo`, `incus`) with
|
||
> passwordless `sudo incus …` only. Anything needing root beyond incus
|
||
> (`zpool status`, host firewall dumps, container internals) is marked
|
||
> **verify** below.
|
||
|
||
## Hardware / hosting
|
||
|
||
- OVH dedicated server, hostname `ns3061243`, up ~90 days at scan time
|
||
- CPU: Intel Xeon D-1521 @ 2.40 GHz (4c/8t)
|
||
- RAM: 31 GiB (+1 GiB swap)
|
||
- Disks: 2× 6 TB HGST `HUS726T6TALE6L1` (`sda`, `sdb`)
|
||
- `sda1/2/3` + `sdb1/2/3` → **mdraid RAID1** mirrors:
|
||
`md1` → `/boot/efi` (vfat), `md2` → `/boot` (ext4),
|
||
`md3` → `/` (ext4, 40 GB)
|
||
- `sda4` / `sdb4` → swap (512 MB each)
|
||
- `sda5` (5.4 TB) → ZFS pool `data` (all Incus instance disks),
|
||
single vdev `ata-HGST_…_V9K2UX7L-part5`, `ONLINE`, weekly scrub
|
||
(Sundays, last clean run 2026-08-09)
|
||
- `sdb5` (5.4 TB) → **unused** (no fstype)
|
||
- Network: `eno3` up, `193.70.35.17/24`, gw `193.70.35.254`,
|
||
IPv6 `2001:41d0:303:711::1/128`. `eno4` down.
|
||
- OS: Debian 13 (trixie), kernel `6.12.86+deb13-amd64`
|
||
|
||
### ⚠️ Data pool is NOT mirrored
|
||
|
||
Confirmed via `zpool status`: the OS (`md1/2/3`) is RAID1 across both
|
||
disks, but the ZFS `data` pool is a **single vdev on `sda5`**. If `sda`
|
||
dies, every instance disk is lost even though the OS survives on `sdb`.
|
||
Decision (2026-08-09): instead of mirroring, `sdb5` hosts a dedicated
|
||
`backup` zpool receiving nightly replicas + dumps, with a second
|
||
off-site replica on nuc — see [incus-copy.md](incus-copy.md).
|
||
|
||
(`zpool status` also notes some pool features are disabled — an
|
||
optional `zpool upgrade data` would enable them, at the cost of
|
||
compatibility with older ZFS.)
|
||
|
||
## Software layer
|
||
|
||
- **Incus** from the Zabbly stable repo (`pkgs.zabbly.com/incus/stable`,
|
||
suite `trixie`), packages `incus`, `incus-base`, `incus-client`,
|
||
`incus-ui-canonical`, version `1:7.2-debian13-…`.
|
||
- ZFS `2.4.3-1~bpo13+1` (`zfs-dkms`, `zfsutils-linux`, `zfs-zed`).
|
||
- Incus daemon: `core.https_address: :8443` (web UI reachable; TLS auth),
|
||
firewall driver **nftables**, storage driver **zfs**, not clustered.
|
||
|
||
Repo + install (matches nuc):
|
||
```sh
|
||
mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
|
||
curl -fsSL https://pkgs.zabbly.com/key.asc -o /etc/apt/keyrings/zabbly.asc
|
||
cat > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zabbly-incus-stable.sources <<EOF
|
||
Enabled: yes
|
||
Types: deb
|
||
URIs: https://pkgs.zabbly.com/incus/stable
|
||
Suites: trixie
|
||
Components: main
|
||
Architectures: amd64
|
||
Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/zabbly.asc
|
||
EOF
|
||
apt update && apt install -y incus zfs-dkms zfsutils-linux zfs-zed
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Networking / public ingress
|
||
|
||
Unlike nuc (macvlan → real LAN IPs), ks4 uses a **NAT bridge**: all
|
||
instances sit on `incusbr0` (`192.168.1.1/24`) with static
|
||
`192.168.1.x` addresses. Public traffic reaches them through Incus
|
||
**proxy devices** on the host's public IP:
|
||
|
||
| Host port(s) | → Instance | Proxy notes |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| 80, 443/tcp | `gateway` (192.168.1.2) | `proxy_protocol=true` → nginx reverse proxy fans out to the app containers |
|
||
| 25, 587, 993/tcp | `mail` (192.168.1.3) | `proxy_protocol=true` (SMTP/submission/IMAPS) |
|
||
| 2244/tcp | `git` (192.168.1.6) | → container `:22` (git-over-SSH) |
|
||
| 51845/udp | `wireguard` (192.168.1.18) | → WireGuard; VPN subnet `10.8.0.0/24` (server `wg0` 10.8.0.1) |
|
||
| 2233/tcp | host `sshd` | admin SSH (not a proxy device) |
|
||
| 8443/tcp | host `incus` daemon | remote API + web UI |
|
||
|
||
So **`gateway` is the single HTTP/S entry point** and terminates TLS for
|
||
the web apps; the app containers are not directly exposed. The `gateway`
|
||
and `mail` proxies use the PROXY protocol, so nginx/postfix inside must
|
||
be configured to expect it.
|
||
|
||
Other bridges present: `incusbr-1001` (`10.183.142.1/24`) and
|
||
`incusbr-1002` (`10.10.112.1/24`), one per restricted user project
|
||
(see below). The host also runs a DNS resolver (dnsmasq) on each bridge
|
||
IP `:53`.
|
||
|
||
## Incus projects
|
||
|
||
| Project | Purpose |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| `default` | all the service containers below |
|
||
| `user-1001` | restricted project for `julien` (own bridge + quota) |
|
||
| `user-1002` | restricted project for `franzz` |
|
||
| `incus-compose-images` | image cache for the `incus-compose` tool (see note) |
|
||
|
||
> `~/incus-compose` on the host is a Go project (own GitLab CI) — a
|
||
> docker-compose-style deployer for Incus that julien develops. The
|
||
> `incus-compose-images` project is its image store. Not required to run
|
||
> the existing containers.
|
||
|
||
## Instances
|
||
|
||
All in the `default` project, on the `default` profile
|
||
(`eth0` → `incusbr0`, `root` → pool `data`), unprivileged
|
||
(`security.nesting=true`), with daily snapshots
|
||
(`snapshots.schedule=@daily`, expiry 1w / 4w manual, ~7 kept).

## Backups
|
||
|
||
> **Migration in progress** (2026-08-09): the `ks2` destination below is
|
||
> being replaced by a local `backup` zpool on `sdb5` + off-site pull
|
||
> from nuc — plan and setup in [incus-copy.md](incus-copy.md). The
|
||
> cron blocks here describe what runs **today**; update on cutover.
|
||
|
||
Two **root** cron jobs (this repo's [`scripts/`](../scripts/) are the
|
||
copies that run here) — the primary safety net for the non-mirrored
|
||
`data` pool:
|
||
|
||
```cron
|
||
0 1 * * * /root/scripts/incus-copy.sh -d ks2 -m push
|
||
0 4 * * * /root/scripts/incus-backup.sh -d 164.132.173.57 -u rsyncbackup \
|
||
-i /root/.ssh/id_rsyncbackup -p 2233 \
|
||
-f /root/scripts/incus-backup.db -s data
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
- **01:00 — `incus-copy.sh` → `ks2`**: differential `incus copy … \
|
||
--refresh --refresh-exclude-older --mode push` of every *running*
|
||
instance to remote incus host `ks2` (a near-live replica). `ks2` must
|
||
exist as an `incus remote`.
|
||
- **04:00 — `incus-backup.sh` → `164.132.173.57`**: rsync-over-ssh (user
|
||
`rsyncbackup`, key `/root/.ssh/id_rsyncbackup`, port 2233) of the incus
|
||
local+global DB dumps, each container's `backup.yaml`, MariaDB dumps
|
||
(`incus exec … mariadb-dump`), and selected rootfs paths into
|
||
`/backup/ks4/` on the remote. **Which** containers/DBs/paths are
|
||
backed up is driven by the JSON manifest
|
||
`/root/scripts/incus-backup.db` — keep it current when adding a
|
||
service.
|
||
|
||
Both scripts run as root (they use `incus exec` / `incus admin sql`),
|
||
not through the `julien` incus-only sudo grant. Logs:
|
||
`/var/log/incus-copy.log`, `/var/log/incus-backup.log`.
|
||
|
||
Manual export of a single instance:
|
||
```sh
|
||
sudo incus export <name> /path/to/<name>.tar.gz # --instance-only to skip snapshots
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Host rebuild outline
|
||
|
||
OVH reinstalls provide Debian; the ks4-specific layer is:
|
||
|
||
1. **OS**: Debian 13, mdraid RAID1 (`md1`/`md2`/`md3`) across both disks
|
||
for `/boot/efi`, `/boot`, `/` — OVH's guided partitioning, or restore
|
||
the layout above. Leave `sda5` (and ideally `sdb5`) for ZFS.
|
||
2. **SSH**: move sshd to port **2233**; restore
|
||
`/root/.ssh/authorized_keys` (incl. `id_rsa_claude.pub` from this
|
||
repo) and the `julien` account (groups `sudo`, `incus`) +
|
||
`/etc/sudoers.d/incus`.
|
||
3. **ZFS pool**:
|
||
```sh
|
||
zpool create data /dev/disk/by-id/<sda5-id>
|
||
# recommended: mirror it (see warning above)
|
||
zpool attach data <sda5-id> /dev/disk/by-id/<sdb5-id>
|
||
```
|
||
4. **Incus**: install from Zabbly (above), then `incus admin init`
|
||
with pool `data` and bridge `incusbr0` (`192.168.1.1/24`, NAT):
|
||
```sh
|
||
cat <<EOF | incus admin init --preseed
|
||
config:
|
||
core.https_address: :8443
|
||
storage_pools:
|
||
- name: data
|
||
driver: zfs
|
||
config: {source: data}
|
||
networks:
|
||
- name: incusbr0
|
||
type: bridge
|
||
config: {ipv4.address: 192.168.1.1/24, ipv4.nat: "true", ipv6.address: none}
|
||
profiles:
|
||
- name: default
|
||
devices:
|
||
eth0: {name: eth0, network: incusbr0, type: nic}
|
||
root: {path: /, pool: data, type: disk}
|
||
EOF
|
||
```
|
||
5. **Restore instances** from exports, re-pin each static IP
|
||
(`incus config device set <name> eth0 ipv4.address 192.168.1.x`),
|
||
and re-add the proxy devices from the
|
||
[ingress table](#networking--public-ingress), e.g.:
|
||
```sh
|
||
incus config device add gateway https proxy \
|
||
listen=tcp:0.0.0.0:443 connect=tcp:127.0.0.1:443 proxy_protocol=true
|
||
```
|
||
6. **Re-enable** daily snapshots on each instance, restore root's
|
||
crontab + `/root/scripts/` + `/root/.ssh/id_rsyncbackup`, add the
|
||
`ks2` incus remote, and confirm both backup jobs run (see
|
||
[Backups](#backups)).
