Julien LutranandClaude Fable 5 a0e3a7dd86 doc: split per-host READMEs, gitea cross-repo links, consistency pass
- nuc/README.md and ks4/README.md carry the host sections (+ network
  flows) that lived in the top-level README; links rebased
- top README: repo links (doc/scripts on git.lutran.fr), index points
  at the new per-host pages
- cross-repo references now use https://git.lutran.fr/julien/scripts
  instead of relative ../scripts paths that resolve nowhere
- plakar-s3-data.md and plakar-incus-integration.md marked SUPERSEDED
  / RETIRED with pointers to restic-backup.md; their measurements and
  rationale kept
- install.md, local-backup-cron.md, incus-copy.md: crontab sections
  updated to the live schedule (01:00 replicas, 05:00 restic, Sun
  maintenance); retired legs labelled as such
- restic-backup.md: status live, cutover recorded, post-GC memory
  estimate, seed plan dated
- seafile-gc.md: online GC noted, stale 'crons commented out' removed
- ks2/: what-ks2-does-today rewritten (nothing writes to it any more),
  legs table and gates reflect restic, decommission steps updated
- db-exclude replaces the plakar-era config name (script keeps a
  fallback)

# local backup cron on ks4 (leg 1)
Enabled 2026-08-22 (both ks4 backup crons had been commented out — no
backup of any kind was running). Overview of all legs:
[../backup-strategy.md](../backup-strategy.md).
## What runs now (root crontab on ks4)
```cron
0 1 * * * /root/scripts/incus-copy.sh -p backup -s backup >> /var/log/incus-copy.log 2>&1
```
- `01:00`**local leg**: `incus copy --refresh` of all instances
into project `backup` on the sdb5 `backup` zpool (replaces the old
push to ks2; see [incus-copy.md](incus-copy.md)). The S3 instance
leg ([restic-backup.md](restic-backup.md) §6) chains onto this same
line once seeded — it reads the replicas this job just refreshed.
- The rsync stopgap to ks2 (`incus-backup.sh`, 04:00) and the plakar
data leg (04:30) are both **retired**; S3 backups are restic's job
at 05:00.
## Cleanup done the same day
- ks2: `incus delete biwiki spot` (abandoned instances — freed space
on the 95 %-full `data` pool)
- ks4: `incus delete spot --project backup`
## Verification
```bash
# all instances present, incl. livetrail (first copy is a full send)
sudo incus list --project backup -c ns -f csv
# cron runs land here (manual screen runs don't):
sudo tail /var/log/incus-copy.log /var/log/incus-backup.log
# rsync leg freshness, on ks2:
ls -lat /backup/ns3061243/ | head
```
Notes:
- `flock` in both scripts makes overlapping cron/manual runs abort
safely instead of racing.
- Replicas get `boot.autostart=false` set by the script — they must
never fight the live instances for their static IPs.
- Keep `snapshots.schedule` set on the sources so refreshes stay
ZFS-incremental (a refresh without common snapshots falls back to
rsync). Corollary: the cron must run at least every
`snapshots.expiry` (7 d) — a longer gap expires every common
snapshot and the next refresh silently degrades to a **full
re-send** (observed 2026-08-22: seafile re-sent 933 G after the
weeks-long gap while the crons were commented out).
