authentik HA: floating DNS hostname + failover-watcher
Builds the one genuinely new component from the plan - everything else
reuses CNPG/etcd as-is.
- infrastructure/ha-failover/manifests/heartbeat-writer.yaml: home writes
a fresh timestamp to etcd (/ha-failover/home-heartbeat) every 10s via
its local etcd member. No custom quorum/voting logic - etcd's own Raft
consensus (majority write/linearizable read) already gives the 'a
majority agrees' guarantee.
- scripts/ha-failover-watcher.sh + .service: runs on the VPS as a
systemd service (not k3s - must survive the VPS's own cluster being
unhealthy). Reads the heartbeat via its own local etcd member; if the
read itself fails, we can't tell if home is down or if this VPS is the
one partitioned, so it does NOT act (etcd's consensus requirement
provides the split-brain safety here, not custom code). If the read
succeeds and the heartbeat is stale (>45s, ~4-5 missed beats), home is
confirmed down by majority - promotes pg-authentik's Cluster CR
(spec.replica self/primary/source -> vps, no promotionToken - confirmed
live via dry-run that CNPG's webhook doesn't require one, it's only for
planned/graceful switchover LSN cross-checks that aren't available
during a genuine unplanned outage) and flips the
pg-authentik.ha.huskypup.net Cloudflare A record to the VPS's IP.
- scripts/ha-failback-authentik.sh: the deliberately manual reverse -
human confirms home is healthy and caught up before running this.
- Floating hostname plumbing: both sites' Authentik values now read
AUTHENTIK_POSTGRESQL__HOST/PORT as pg-authentik.ha.huskypup.net:61432
instead of the local pg-authentik-app secret's host/port, so app pods
on either site always reach whichever site is actually primary. Both
sites listen on the same external port (VPS gets a new
pg-authentik-forward.service socat forward, mirroring the existing
minio-forward.service pattern, so its NodePort 32433 is externally
reachable on 61432 same as home's UniFi-forwarded port).
- Found and worked around two real bugs surfaced while wiring this up
(fixed manually via scripts handed to the user - both blocked by the
Claude Code auto-mode classifier as credential-transmission /
cluster-DNS-edit actions):
- VPS's pg-authentik-app secret had a STALE password from before
streaming replication existed - the live Postgres role password now
replicates from home via WAL, but VPS's local K8s secret never got
updated to match. Needs a one-time sync (and again on any future
rotation).
- This UniFi does not support NAT hairpin/loopback for its own WAN
port-forwards - home's own pods resolving the floating hostname need
a local CoreDNS rewrite straight to pg-authentik-rw, confirmed live by
a DNS-resolves-but-TCP-connect-fails test.
