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.
