unkinben 6c8c0dd9e4 Deploy jellyfin-ha as a true-HA StatefulSet under a new media project (#237)
## Why

Deploy the jellyfin-ha fork as a genuine high-availability service rather than a
single replica, so its two headline capabilities can actually be exercised: the
Redis-coordinated distributed transcoding (a surviving pod resumes the HLS
segments of a pod that dies mid-stream) and the experimental PostgreSQL main
database (which is what lets more than one replica share the same library). It
lands in its own `jellyfin` namespace under a new `media` ArgoCD project.

## How

**Workload — StatefulSet, 2 replicas.** The Deployment becomes a StatefulSet so
each pod has a stable name. The fork's Redis transcode lease keys ownership on
`JELLYFIN_INSTANCE_ID`, which is set from the downward-API pod name, giving each
replica a unique, stable lease identity. Soft `podAntiAffinity` spreads the two
pods across nodes and a `PodDisruptionBudget` keeps `minAvailable: 1` through
drains and rollouts.

**Main database — CloudNativePG.** A CNPG trio in-namespace mirrors the litellm
pattern: a 3-instance `Cluster`, a PgBouncer `Pooler`, and Ceph RGW (barman) S3
backups to a dedicated `cnpg-jellyfin` bucket owned by a `cephrgw`
`ObjectStoreUser`. An init container writes `/config/config/database.xml`
selecting the fork's `Jellyfin-PostgreSQL` provider, and the connection string is
composed from the CNPG-generated `jellyfin-postgres-app` secret (username /
password / dbname) pointed at the pooler service — the password is never
rendered into the manifest. Library-item metadata therefore moves off SQLite;
metadata images, plugins, subtitles and config XML stay on `/config`.

**Storage.**
- `/config` is now a shared `ReadWriteMany` cephfs PVC (raid5, retain) so every
  replica reads/writes the same metadata and config.
- `/config/transcodes` — the fork's real transcode temp path — is a shared RWX
  PVC (raid5, delete). This is the load-bearing fix: takeover reads the dead
  pod's in-flight `.ts`/`.m3u8` segments off shared storage, so per-pod scratch
  would silently break it.
- `/cache` is per-pod via a `volumeClaimTemplate` (RWO).
- The media library stays a fresh, empty RWX PVC mounted read-only; populating
  it is out of scope.

**Hardware transcoding.** The container requests the `gpu.intel.com/i915` Intel
device-plugin resource (which pins the pod to a GPU-labelled node and injects the
DRI render node — no `/dev/dri` hostPath or privileged container) plus the
render/video supplemental groups. VA-API hardware acceleration is now on by
default: the `inject-config` init container seeds `/config/config/encoding.xml`
with `HardwareAccelerationType` `vaapi`, `EnableHardwareEncoding`, the injected
render node (`/dev/dri/renderD128`) and h264/hevc hardware decode, so transcodes
use the iGPU on first boot with no manual admin-UI step. Both seed files
(`database.xml`, `encoding.xml`) are written only when absent, so later admin
changes persisted to the shared RWX `/config` are never clobbered on restart.

**Networking.** The Gateway/HTTPRoute (traefik-internal,
`jellyfin.k8s.syd1.au.unkin.net`) is unchanged; the Service gains
`sessionAffinity: ClientIP` to keep a client pinned to one replica and reduce
transcode-session churn.

**Redis.** The in-namespace single-replica Redis stays as the transcode lease
store.

## Follow-up

UDP auto-discovery is disabled, but scheduled library scans still run on every
replica (redundant scans). Single-scanner leader election is a planned follow-up
pending a fork feature, tracked separately.

unkinben f45cb6989f Add ClickHouse + Vector + NATS JetStream centralized logging (with S3 raw archive) (#296)
## Why

Metrics already land in VictoriaMetrics, but there is no centralized log store. This stands up the logs pillar: capture **all** logs from (a) k8s pods and (b) puppet-managed VMs into ClickHouse, with a **durable NATS JetStream bus** in the middle so logs survive a ClickHouse outage, can be **replayed** after a bad transform, and **fan out** to independent consumers. A third consumer archives selected raw logs to **S3 (Ceph RGW)** for long-horizon replay beyond the JetStream window. The puppet-side Vector rollout is a later task — this PR makes sure a reachable VM ingestion endpoint exists.

## Topology

`edge (publishers) → JetStream → consumers → sinks`

- **NATS JetStream** (dedicated, `logging` ns): 3-replica cluster, file storage on `cephrbd-fast-delete` (50Gi/node). Deliberately **separate from app messaging** (streamstack runs its own NATS in its own repo) for blast-radius isolation. Stream `LOGS` (subjects `logs.>`, `retention=limits`, S2-compressed, **3d / 130 GiB**). Durable consumers = independent offsets.
- **Edge publishers (thin)** — no parsing, just a routing subject:
  - `vector-agent` (DaemonSet): tails every node's pod logs (incl. control-plane) → JetStream `logs.k8s.<ns>.<container>`.
  - `vector-vm-ingest` (Deployment): HTTPS/NDJSON front door behind the `logs-ingest` Gateway → JetStream `logs.vm.<host>`. (Chosen over exposing NATS TCP to ~143 VMs: keeps VM shipping to a simple TLS POST while still gaining JetStream durability; direct-NATS-for-VMs noted as an alternative.)
- **Transform tier** `vector-aggregator` (StatefulSet): pulls the whole stream via durable consumer `transform`, routes by subject, normalises into `logs.raw`, and is the **sole ClickHouse writer**. Disk buffer shrunk to 2GiB/5Gi PVC (JetStream is the real outage buffer now).
- **Archiver** `vector-archiver` (Deployment): its **own** durable consumer `archiver` (independent offsets — archive lag can never stall ClickHouse) writes **raw, pre-transform** events to a Ceph RGW bucket as gzipped NDJSON, keyed `raw/<subject>/YYYY/MM/DD/`. Default subject filter **`logs.k8s.vault.>`** (Vault audit) — configurable via the bootstrap Job's `ARCHIVE_SUBJECTS`.
- **ClickHouse**: Altinity operator + single-shard `ClickHouseInstallation` (200Gi RBD), `logs.raw` MergeTree, 30d TTL, idempotent PostSync schema Job.

## Streams / consumers / auth

- Stream + both durable consumers provisioned by an **idempotent PostSync bootstrap Job** (`nats` CLI). Runbook lines for both replay directions are in the Job's header comment.
- **Distinct NATS users**: `log-producer` (publish `logs.>` only), `log-consumer` (pull + ack only), `log-admin` (bootstrap). Passwords from Vault (`nats-auth` Secret, env-var expansion in the server config). S3 creds from the `cephrgw-operator` `BucketAccess` Secret.

## S3 / retention

`ObjectStoreUser` + `Bucket` (`logs-archive`, retainOnDelete) + `BucketAccess` (read-write) via the in-estate cephrgw-operator. aws_s3 sink → `https://s3.ceph.unkin.net` (path-style, trusts the reflected `vault-ca-cert`). **Object retention is an RGW-side bucket lifecycle policy** (the operator doesn't manage lifecycle) — flagged as an operational knob, not invented here.

## Replay runbook

- **Within 3d (JetStream):** scale the transform tier to 0, `nats consumer rm LOGS transform`, re-run the bootstrap Job (recreates at DeliverAll) — or `nats consumer edit`/`--replay` from a seq/time.
- **Long-horizon (S3):** re-ingest archived objects through the transform tier (vector `aws_s3` source or a one-shot Job); the archive is the replay source beyond JetStream's window.

## Validation

- `kustomize build --enable-helm` clean; `kubeconform` (k8s 1.33.7) all valid — clickhouse-system **22**, logging **38** (incl. `ClickHouseInstallation` via datreeio and the `ceph.unkin.net` CRDs via **local schemas added under `schemas/`**), apps/base **10**.
- `pre-commit` (yamllint, check-json, no-plain-secrets) clean.
- **`vector test`** passes the transform-tier + VM-ingest unit tests; `vector validate` passes the agent + archiver configs.
- **End-to-end integration test (local docker):** ran nats-server (JetStream) with the exact auth block, created the stream + durable consumer, published via Vector (producer ACL), and consumed via Vector's JetStream durable consumer (consumer ACL) — all 3 events pulled, routed, shaped, and **acked** (Outstanding Acks: 0). Confirms the NATS ACLs, Vector JetStream publish, and durable-consumer pull+ack (at-least-once + durable offsets).

## Known upstream caveat

Vector's NATS JetStream source has an open reliability issue (vectordotdev/vector#24932: consumer can stall after a NATS "lame duck"/reconnect). Recovery is a pod restart of the affected consumer; noted for the runbook.

## Prerequisites (manual, one-time)

```
# ClickHouse
PW=$(openssl rand -base64 24); HASH=$(printf '%s' "$PW" | sha256sum | cut -d' ' -f1)
vault kv put kv/kubernetes/namespace/logging/default/clickhouse-credentials \
  username=vector password="$PW" password_sha256_hex="$HASH"
# NATS
vault kv put kv/kubernetes/namespace/logging/default/nats-auth \
  admin_password=$(openssl rand -base64 24) \
  producer_password=$(openssl rand -base64 24) \
  consumer_password=$(openssl rand -base64 24)
```
No terraform-vault change needed (templated `default` k8s auth policy already grants the `logging` namespace KV path). The `vault-ca-cert` Secret is reflected into `logging` by the existing reflector. RGW bucket + creds are provisioned by cephrgw-operator from the CRs in this PR.

## Open decisions (defaults chosen, flag to change)

- **Archive subject filter:** default `logs.k8s.vault.>` (Vault audit). Candidates to add: `logs.k8s.authentik.>`, `logs.k8s.kanidm.>`, VM auth roles — **please confirm the exact security set.**
- **Retention:** ClickHouse **3d** TTL; JetStream **3d** (130 GiB cap, 180Gi/node PVC, S2 compression); S3 lifecycle TBD (RGW-side).
- **Sizing:** NATS 50Gi/node; ClickHouse 200Gi; aggregator 5Gi/2GiB buffer.
- **HA:** ClickHouse single-replica (no Keeper) initially; NATS + transform tier are HA.
- **VM front door:** HTTPS/NDJSON → vm-ingest → JetStream (vs. direct NATS TCP to VMs).
- **CI image:** `timberio/vector:0.57.0-debian` + `natsio/nats-box:0.18.0` (Docker Hub) — mirror if runners restrict egress.

## Update: images via artifactapi, DHI, stateless transform tier

**Depends on unkin/terraform-artifactapi#16** (dockerhub allowlist patterns) — merge that first or images won't pull.

### Image table (all pulled through `artifactapi.k8s.syd1.au.unkin.net/dockerhub/…`)

| Image | Upstream | artifactapi path | DHI? |
|---|---|---|---|
| clickhouse/clickhouse-server:24.8 | Docker Hub | dockerhub/clickhouse/clickhouse-server | DHI exists — **not used**: subscription/private-namespace + shell-less breaks the bash schema Job |
| altinity/clickhouse-operator:0.27.2 | Docker Hub | dockerhub/altinity/clickhouse-operator | No DHI |
| altinity/metrics-exporter:0.27.2 | Docker Hub | dockerhub/altinity/metrics-exporter | No DHI |
| bitnami/kubectl:latest (crdHook) | Docker Hub | dockerhub/bitnami/kubectl | No DHI |
| nats:2.14.2-alpine | Docker Hub | dockerhub/library/nats | No DHI for nats |
| natsio/nats-server-config-reloader:0.23.0 | Docker Hub | dockerhub/natsio/nats-server-config-reloader | No DHI |
| natsio/nats-box:0.18.0 (bootstrap Job) | Docker Hub | dockerhub/natsio/nats-box | No DHI |
| timberio/vector:0.57.0-distroless-libc (runtime) | Docker Hub | dockerhub/timberio/vector | DHI exists — **not used** (subscription/private-namespace); distroless-libc is already near-hardened |
| timberio/vector:0.57.0-debian (CI only) | Docker Hub | dockerhub/timberio/vector | shell needed for the CI step |

**DHI decision:** Docker Hardened Images exist for clickhouse-server and vector, but they're **subscription-gated and served from a private Docker org namespace** (authenticated pull) — not reachable via the estate's anonymous artifactapi `dockerhub` proxy, and no DHI org/remote exists here. Their shell-less nature would also break the `bash` heredoc in the ClickHouse schema Job and the shell-based `vector-test` CI step. So: **upstream official through artifactapi**, using vector `distroless-libc` for runtime pods. Adopting DHI later would need a Docker Business subscription + an authenticated artifactapi remote for the DHI namespace.

### Transform tier is now a stateless Deployment

Was a StatefulSet with a disk buffer/PVC; now a **Deployment with no PVC and an in-memory buffer** — **JetStream is the sole durability layer**. Added a **CPU HPA (min 2 / max 8)**.

**Ack / backpressure design (important caveat):** Vector's NATS source has **`acknowledgements: no`** — it acks the JetStream message on receipt, *not* after the ClickHouse sink confirms. So end-to-end "sink-failure-must-not-ack" isn't achievable with the current source. What we get instead: the ClickHouse sink uses `buffer.when_full=block`, so on a ClickHouse outage the memory buffer fills, back-pressure stops the pull source, and **unpulled messages stay in JetStream and are redelivered**. The only at-risk window is the in-memory buffer (2000 events) of already-pulled events if a pod is killed *mid-outage*. This is the accepted trade for a stateless, autoscalable tier. HPA is safe because JetStream pull consumers distribute work across N replicas on the single durable consumer `transform`. (If stronger delivery is needed later: reintroduce a StatefulSet+disk buffer, or wait for upstream end-to-end-ack support on the nats source — vectordotdev/vector.)

## Update: 7d retention, tunable limits ConfigMap, honest sizing

- **Retention → 7 days** (`max_age=168h`), still `retention=limits` / `discard=old`: the transform tier and the archiver each have their own durable consumer and independently see every message — reading never deletes; only max_age/max_bytes evict.

- **Stream limits live in a ConfigMap** (`nats-stream-limits`: `max_age`, `max_bytes`, `dupe_window`). The `nats-bootstrap` PostSync Job reads them and does an idempotent **create-or-UPDATE** (`nats stream add` || `nats stream edit`). **How a change propagates:** the ConfigMap keeps its kustomize **content-hash suffix**, so editing a value renames the ConfigMap *and* rewrites the Job's `configMapKeyRef`s → the hook Job's spec changes → Argo re-runs it (on top of PostSync hooks running every sync with `hook-delete-policy=BeforeHookCreation`) → `nats stream edit` applies the new limits. No manual `nats` surgery. **Verified against a real nats-server:** create (7d), idempotent re-run, and a `max_age` change (168h→24h) all applied; all flags incl. `--compression=s2` accepted by nats CLI v0.2.3.

- **Honest 7d sizing (stated assumption — please sanity-check against real volume):**
  - Assume **~1,500 events/s** average @ **~1 KiB/event** stored JSON ⇒ **~130 GiB/day raw**, ~910 GiB/7d raw per replica.
  - Enable **JetStream S2 compression** (logs ~4× conservative) ⇒ **~33 GiB/day**, **~230 GiB/7d** compressed per replica.
  - **`max_bytes = 300 GiB`** (headroom over the 230 GiB estimate). **PVC = 400Gi/node** on `cephrbd-fast-delete` (max_bytes + file-store WAL/index/overhead, safely under). **3 replicas ⇒ 1.2 TiB provisioned.**
  - ⚠️ **This is a large, prominent number by design.** If real volume exceeds the assumption, `discard=old` truncates retention **below 7d** rather than silently overflowing. Raising retention/volume requires bumping **both** `max_bytes` (ConfigMap) **and** the file-store PVC (values-nats.yaml) together — the PVC is not a live-tunable knob.

- Replay window in the runbook is now **7d** (beyond that → the S3 archive).

---

## Update: retention cut to 3 days (both stores), PVCs shrunk

Ben: 1.2 TiB is too much. Both stores now retain **3 days**; long-term retention lives **exclusively in the encrypted S3 archive** (the archiver's configured subjects) — everything else is gone after 3d. That's the accepted design.

| Store | Retention | Byte cap | PVC/node | Replicas | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NATS JetStream `LOGS` | `max_age=72h` (3d) | `max_bytes=130 GiB` | 180Gi | 3 | **~0.5 TiB** (was 1.2 TiB) |
| ClickHouse `logs.raw` | `TTL 3 DAY` | — | 150Gi | 1 | 150Gi (was 200Gi) |

**NATS math:** ~33 GiB/day compressed (S2) × 3d ≈ 100 GiB → `max_bytes` 130 GiB (headroom) under a 180Gi PVC.
**ClickHouse math:** ~130 GiB/day raw, LZ4/ZSTD ~6× ⇒ ~20-25 GiB/day ⇒ ~60-75 GiB/3d; +merge headroom ⇒ 150Gi PVC. `logs.raw` is the only table.

The retention knobs remain in the `nats-stream-limits` ConfigMap (max_age/max_bytes/dupe_window) — tunable without redeploy; the ClickHouse TTL is in the bootstrap DDL.

⚠️ **PVC-shrink caveat:** this is a **plan-time** change — the stack **is not deployed yet**, so shrinking PVCs is clean. If it were already deployed, PVCs **cannot shrink in place** (a StatefulSet/CHI PVC resize-down needs a recreate/migration, not an edit).
