Live re-run: the per-image systemctl start/stop docker cycles tripped systemd's
start rate limit after three fast pushes — "Start request repeated too
quickly / start-limit-hit" — and the fourth image (the paper base) silently
never reached the registry while the installer aborted. docker.service is
socket-triggered, so every cycle counts against the burst limit twice.
push_images_to_registry now starts docker once for the whole batch and stops it
once at the end; push_image_to_registry itself no longer touches systemd.
bootstrap_test.sh pins the wrap (exactly one start, one stop, four pushes).
Same class as 765a892, same table-level amnesia: [archive] retention /
warn_before / max_local_bytes are the reaper's runtime knobs (read from the
config Secret at job time; built-ins 90d / 3d,1d / no cap), and write_felis_toml
rewrote the whole table as store+local_path on every re-run. An operator who
narrowed the retention window silently got the 90d built-in back.
persisted_archive_block carries the three keys forward; store and local_path
stay installer-owned (FELIS_ARCHIVE_LOCAL_PATH must equal the mount the render
passes). Extends the bootstrap_test carry case with the archive keys and the
installer-owned exclusion.
§15's upgrade path is "re-run the installer", but write_felis_toml rewrote the
[registry] table from scratch — url + build_namespace only. Everything else an
operator put there (the §8e build-lane executor mirrors, the resource caps, the
uploads backend stamped by the storage wizard, [registry.s3]) was silently
reverted on every re-run: builds went back to the denied upstream executors and
an S3-backed install flipped to local storage, with nothing pointing at why.
Found while landing the registry-hosting work, which depends on those same
keys surviving.
- persisted_registry_block carries the operator-owned [registry] keys and the
[registry.s3] subtable forward, same first-readable-file rule as
persisted_smtp_block; url/build_namespace stay installer-owned (they must
match REGISTRY_URL/BUILD_NS, so a stale value must NOT survive).
- The s3 subtable header is re-emitted with its keys, so nothing carried lands
as an unknown key under [registry].
- bootstrap_test.sh pins the carry, the installer-owned exclusion, and
idempotence (a second re-run writes a byte-identical file).
The disk-pressure drill's dead end: kubelet's image GC collects an unused image
and an air-gapped node has nothing to pull it from (ImagePullBackOff until an
operator re-imports). The registry the bundle already renders becomes that pull
source:
- Every image the installer builds is now a registry ref
(registry.felis.svc:5000/felis/{felis,limbo,lobby,paper}:demo), imported into
containerd under that exact name (first boot needs no registry round-trip)
and mirrored into the registry after deploy_bundle (push_image_to_registry:
push endpoint 127.0.0.1:5000, and only the path after the host matters to the
registry — a push there lands where kubelet's mirrored pull looks). A ref
outside the registry is warned about, not silently unmirrored.
- configure_registry_mirror writes /etc/rancher/k3s/registries.yaml mapping
registry.felis.svc:5000 onto http://127.0.0.1:5000, the loopback hostPort the
registry Deployment binds (node containerd cannot dial the Service VIP — live
drill: "Empty reply"). k3s regenerates containerd config only at agent start,
so a CONTENT change restarts k3s and an identical file (every re-run)
restarts nothing.
- import_registry_image caches registry:2 into containerd so the registry
Deployment can start on a box that cannot reach Docker Hub.
- Migration 0021 re-points the recommended whitelist seeds ('felis-lobby:demo',
'felis-paper:demo') at the registry refs — a user server created from those
rows must not strand when GC collects the bare tag. Only recommended rows
still holding the old seed are touched; enabled is preserved; a pre-existing
target row wins over a duplicate.
bootstrap_test.sh pins the mirror idempotence (identical content must NOT
restart k3s), the push-ref mapping (including the port-confusion refusal) and
the registry:2 precheck.
Live drill found this: the reaper pod runs as uid 1000, k3s creates its
storage root /var/lib/rancher/k3s/storage 0700 root:root, so enabling
retention on a stock install made every archive fail
'lstat /worlds/<pvc>: permission denied' and skip the world (fail-closed,
but a silent no-op). bootstrap now grants traverse (setfacl u:1000:x,
else chmod o+x) when FELIS_WORLDS_HOST_PATH is set, the renderer's
precondition note names the requirement, and troubleshooting documents
both it and the multi-node nodeSelector fact.
Verified on the VM after granting the ACL: a 20d-idle world with a marker
file was archived into felis-backups (marker intact), its PVC and host
directory were reclaimed, world_backups got an inactive_15d row, and the
servers row/CR were retained.
Three faces of one gap, all on the supported install path:
- Backup/restore answered 503 out of the box: nothing ever rendered the
archive PVC, so FELIS_BACKUP_PVC was unset. The bundle now renders the
PVC (Minecraft namespace, RWO 10Gi, cluster default class) and
'felis manifests' names it by default (--backup-pvc= is the explicit
no-store shape); bootstrap passes it through so the generated felis.toml
[archive] local_path and the jobs' mount path come from one variable.
- Retention was unreachable: bootstrap never passed the reaper flags. It
now forwards FELIS_WORLDS_HOST_PATH/FELIS_ARCHIVE_LOCAL_PATH, so one
env enables the daily CronJob; unset keeps today's fail-safe (no reaper,
nothing deleted).
- Even when enabled it could not find a world on a stock install:
resolveWorldDir now also resolves the exact local-path directory
<pv-name>_<ns>_<pvc-name> read from the live PVC's volumeName (never a
glob, so a stale deleted PV's bytes can't be archived in place of the
current world). Reaper Role gains persistentvolumeclaims:get (weaker
than the delete it already held).
README (zh/en) stops promising automatic/scheduled backups and states
retention is opt-in. bootstrap_test covers the env->flag contract.
