feat(k3s): add production Ansible bootstrap - #14
Conversation
WalkthroughChangesThe repository adds a complete Ansible bootstrap for a Debian 13 ARM64 K3s node. It configures storage and security, installs K3s, schedules encrypted control-plane backups, bootstraps Flux, reconciles Traefik, and validates the deployed state in GitHub Actions.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The bootstrap does not yet fully protect Azure instance metadata, and its backup path can expose credentials, fail due to undeclared commands, or consume disk space after repeated upload failures; these security and availability risks should be fixed before merging. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4✅ Passed checks (4 passed)

- Around line 91-97: Update the “Verify ServiceLB and bundled local-storage are
absent” shell task to run the k3s kubectl pod query separately and validate its
exit status before applying the grep absence check. Preserve pipefail behavior
and ensure kubectl failures cause the task to fail rather than being masked by
negation.
- Around line 42-46: Update the “Assert exact K3s version” task to extract the
first reported version token from installed_k3s_version.stdout, then compare
that token for equality with k3s_version instead of using containment. Keep the
existing failure message context intact.
- Around line 21-35: Update the mounted-filesystem verification around “Read
mounted filesystems” and “Assert data disks use ext4 and UUID sources” to query
fstab entries with findmnt --fstab --mountpoint for each expected mount, then
require the reported source to be ext4 with a UUID= source; remove acceptance of
arbitrary /dev/ sources.
In `@ansible/roles/backup/tasks/main.yml`:
- Around line 39-43: Update the backup role before enabling
k3s-control-plane-backup.timer to ensure the required bash and flock
dependencies are available, either by installing their provider packages or by
adding an explicit precondition that validates both commands. Keep the existing
timer enablement and startup behavior unchanged.
In `@ansible/roles/backup/templates/k3s-control-plane-backup.sh.j2`:
- Around line 42-44: Ensure retention cleanup runs even when IMDS or Blob upload
fails under set -e by moving the backup_root find command into the exit trap or
another best-effort failure path, while preserving cleanup of work_dir and
normal successful-run behavior.
- Around line 31-34: Update the curl invocation in the backup script to avoid
expanding access_token in process arguments: write the Authorization header to a
temporary file under work_dir with 0600 permissions, pass it using curl’s
--header `@file` form, and rely on the existing exit trap to remove the file while
preserving the remaining headers and request behavior.
In `@ansible/roles/security/templates/nftables.conf.j2`:
- Around line 25-27: Update the nftables configuration around the existing
`forward_guard` rule so host-network Pods cannot reach 169.254.169.254: either
enforce rejection of unapproved hostNetwork workloads through the repository’s
admission controls, or add an equivalent host-output nftables rule covering that
traffic. Preserve the existing k3s_cluster_cidr protection and use the nearest
relevant security-policy or nftables symbols.

findmnt man page --fstab --mountpoint --target SOURCE FSTYPE output semantics
💡 Result:
The findmnt command is a utility used to list or search mounted filesystems [1][2]. Below are the semantics for the specific options and output columns requested. Options --fstab: Instructs findmnt to search within the /etc/fstab file rather than the kernel's mount table (/proc/self/mountinfo or /etc/mtab) [1][2]. When used with this option, findmnt uses list format by default [3][4]. --mountpoint: Used to explicitly define a mountpoint file or directory to search for [5][3]. It is generally recommended over --target when you want to avoid path-element checks (e.g., checking parent directories) and want to match a strictly specified mountpoint [6][1]. --target: Defines the mount target [5]. If the provided path is not a direct mountpoint, findmnt will check the path elements in reverse order to identify the mountpoint (this feature is supported only when searching kernel files, not for --fstab) [6][1]. Output Columns SOURCE: Displays the source device of the mount [6][7]. This column can contain device names (e.g., /dev/sda), labels, UUIDs, or special values like 'none' or 'tmpfs' depending on the filesystem type [6][8]. Because the relationship between block devices and filesystems is not always one-to-one, findmnt also provides a SOURCES (plural) column, which lists all devices associated with a filesystem's UUID or other tags (especially when used with --fstab and --evaluate) [6][7]. FSTYPE: Displays the filesystem type (e.g., ext4, tmpfs, nfs) as detected by libblkid or reported by the kernel [6][7]. Summary of Behavior When --target or --mountpoint are not provided, findmnt follows mount(8) behavior where a device name may be interpreted as a mountpoint, and vice versa [1][2]. The command displays filesystems in a tree-like format by default, but you should explicitly define columns with --output if you require stable, scriptable output [2].

Verify the persistent mount source.
The storage role writes /etc/fstab entries with UUID=, but this check also accepts any /dev/... source. A device-path entry can pass without enforcing stable disk identity. Query /etc/fstab with findmnt --fstab --mountpoint and require a UUID= source.

curl man page --header @filename reads headers from file argv process command line
💡 Result:
The curl command line tool supports reading headers from a file using the --header (or -H) option by prefixing the filename with the @ symbol (e.g., --header @filename) [1][2][3]. When you provide --header @filename, curl reads the contents of the specified file and treats each line as a header [1][2]. This feature allows for the convenient management of multiple custom headers without needing to pass them individually on the command line [1][2]. Important behavioral notes: - Formatting: When reading headers from a file, empty lines and lines starting with # are typically ignored [4][5][6]. - Folding: Each header can be folded by splitting the content between two words and starting the continuation line with a space [4][5][6]. - Cleaning: Embedded carriage returns and trailing spaces are generally stripped from the lines read [4][5][6]. - Alternatives: While the @filename syntax is supported for headers (as well as for other options like --data [3]), it is distinct from the --config option, which is used to load entire command-line argument configurations from a file [1]. For specific file input requirements, verify your curl version's documentation, as this functionality for --header was introduced to simplify handling large sets of headers [1][2].

man7 proc_pid_cmdline process command line readable /proc permissions local user
💡 Result:
On a standard Linux system, the /proc/[pid]/cmdline file is generally world-readable by default, allowing any local user to view the command-line arguments of any process [1][2][3]. Access Control and Permissions The default behavior exposes this information because, historically, process command lines were considered public information—a design choice reflected in tools like ps(1), which originally relied on these files [3]. A process can always read its own /proc/[pid]/cmdline without restriction [4][5]. For other processes, access is governed by the kernel's security checks, which typically permit any user to read these files unless specific mount-time restrictions are applied [6][2]. Controlling Access with 'hidepid' To restrict access, the /proc filesystem can be mounted with the hidepid mount option [6][2]. This option provides three levels of access control: 0 (Default): All users can read the /proc/[pid]/cmdline files of all processes [2][7]. 1: Users can only access /proc/[pid] directories that they own [6][2]. Files like cmdline and status become inaccessible for processes owned by other users, preventing them from learning what programs others are running [6][8]. 2: In addition to the restrictions of mode 1, /proc/[pid] directories for processes owned by other users become invisible entirely [6][2]. If hidepid is used, the gid=gid mount option can be added to allow members of a specific group to retain visibility or access as if hidepid=0 were in effect [6][2]. Considerations and Limitations While hidepid is an effective hardening tool, it is not always enabled by default and can introduce compatibility issues with system services that need to query information about other processes (e.g., D-Bus, PolicyKit, or monitoring agents) [9][10]. Additionally, it does not provide absolute security; information about processes may still be accessible through other kernel interfaces or APIs, such as systemd's D-Bus interface [9][10]. Users are advised to evaluate whether their specific system environment and service requirements support the use of hidepid before enabling it [9][10].

Keep the bearer token out of process arguments.
curl receives the expanded bearer token as an argument. A local user with normal /proc access can read it from the running command line. Write the header to a 0600 file in work_dir and pass it with --header @file``; the existing exit trap removes the file.

Run retention cleanup when the upload fails.
With set -e, a failed IMDS or Blob upload exits before Line 44. cleanup removes only work_dir, so each failed run leaves the archive and .sha256 file in backup_root. A prolonged Azure outage can accumulate failed artifacts and fill the /srv/standard data disk.
Move retention cleanup into the exit trap or another best-effort failure path.

In `@ansible/roles/security/templates/nftables.conf.j2` around lines 25 - 27,
Update the nftables configuration around the existing `forward_guard` rule so
host-network Pods cannot reach 169.254.169.254: either enforce rejection of
unapproved hostNetwork workloads through the repository’s admission controls, or
add an equivalent host-output nftables rule covering that traffic. Preserve the
existing k3s_cluster_cidr protection and use the nearest relevant
security-policy or nftables symbols.
