vault operator raft snapshot save fails against a standby Vault node with
'incomplete snapshot, unable to read SHA256SUMS.sealed file' - it must run
directly against the active HA leader. The job was hardcoded to vault-0,
which has been a standby since boot, so it had been failing on every run.
Fixed to detect the actual leader at runtime via vault status is_self.
Also suspended the CronJob: the upload step targets
vps-minio.netbird.internal, unreachable from any pod in this cluster (same
missing egress-route gap as tonight's CrowdSec/CNPG-backup fixes). The
leader-detection fix is kept since it's correct and independent - just
unsuspend once real egress routing exists.

- ZONE_NAME was "kube.huskypup.net" in both the home-ip-ddns CronJob and
the VPS failover watcher - that's a record, not a Cloudflare zone (the
actual zone is the parent "huskypup.net"). Caused home-ip-ddns to fail
every run (zone lookup returned zero results, curl -f exit 22) -
confirmed live and fixed.
- Added seccompProfile/non-root/dropped-capabilities securityContext to
the three CronJobs added this session that were missing it (flagged by
the cluster's "restricted" PodSecurity admission). Repointed the raft
snapshot job's mc binary install from /usr/local/bin to /tmp so it
still works running as non-root.
Foundation for a DR/backup path using an always-on VPS as a second
ArgoCD-managed cluster, plus DB/backup standardization work that fell
out of it:
- vps-standby ArgoCD cluster destination + AppProject, MinIO backup
receiver, VPS bootstrap script (k3s, Netbird, cert-manager)
- Dual-site DNS failover watcher + home-IP DDNS CronJob, Cloudflare
token moved out of git into Vault+ExternalSecret
- Nextcloud migrated from ad-hoc MariaDB to CNPG + redis-operator
(matches n8n/Authentik/GitLab's backup-native pattern)
- Authentik's CNPG manifests moved into the actual ArgoCD-synced
manifests/ path (were present but never wired into the sync path)
- Vault raft-snapshot CronJob, CNPG barmanObjectStore backups
(Authentik/n8n/Nextcloud), Nextcloud file-PVC restic sync - all
targeting the new VPS MinIO receiver
See VPS Warm-Standby plan doc for full design rationale.
