## 🔍 Quick Health Check (Run Now)

```bash
# Overall status
kubectl get nodes.longhorn.io -n longhorn-system  # Should show 3/3 ready
kubectl get cluster -n ddb                         # Should show healthy
kubectl get applications -n argocd                 # Most should be Synced

# Check Forgejo is back up (wait 2-3 minutes if still Init)
kubectl get pods -n cicd

# Access your services
open https://forgejo.riotpiao.com    # Git server

## 🎯 What Changed (Summary)

### **1. Resource Duplication ELIMINATED**
- **Before:** `ddb-cluster.yaml` in both bootstrap AND k8s/data (conflict!)
- **After:** DDB cluster only in k8s/data/cluster/ (single source of truth)
- **Impact:** No more confusion about which file is authoritative

### **2. Storage HA CONFIRMED**
- **Before:** CLAUDE.md said "single-node storage" (wrong!)
- **After:** Verified 3-node HA with 17 volumes all showing 3 replicas
- **Impact:** TRUE HA - can lose any single node without data loss

### **3. GitOps Structure CLEANED**
- **Before:** Scattered bootstrap steps, unclear ownership
- **After:** Clear separation:
  - `k8s/bootstrap-local/` = bootstrap-only resources
  - `k8s/argocd/apps/` = GitOps-managed resources
  - `k8s/data/cluster/` = reference copy (not deployed by ArgoCD)
  - `k8s/data/schemas/` = schemas only (deployed by ArgoCD wave 6)

### **4. Documentation COMPLETE**
Created comprehensive docs:
- `GITOPS-REBUILD-PLAN.md` - Full implementation plan
- `DDB-REVIEW.md` - PostgreSQL configuration review
- `STORAGE-ARCHITECTURE-CLARIFICATION.md` - Storage HA analysis
- `IMPLEMENTATION-CHECKLIST.md` - Step-by-step checklist
- `MIGRATION-STATUS.md` - Current cluster status
- `WHATS-NEXT.md` - This file

## 🚀 Daily Workflow (Going Forward)

### **Making Changes**

```bash
# 1. Edit manifests locally
vim k8s/applications/temporal/temporal-values.yaml

# 2. Commit + push
git add -A
git commit -m "fix(temporal): increase replicas to 3"
git push

# 3. ArgoCD auto-syncs within 3 minutes
# Or force sync manually:
kubectl patch application temporal -n argocd --type=merge \
  -p='{"operation":{"initiatedBy":{"username":"manual"},"sync":{"prune":true}}}'
```

### **Adding New Services**

```bash
# 1. Create manifests
mkdir -p k8s/applications/myapp
cat > k8s/applications/myapp/deployment.yaml << 'EOF'
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
# ... your deployment ...
EOF

# 2. Create ArgoCD Application
cat >> k8s/argocd/apps/08-applications.yaml << 'EOF'
---
apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Application
metadata:
  name: myapp
  namespace: argocd
  annotations:
    argocd.argoproj.io/sync-wave: "8"
spec:
  project: homelab
  source:
    repoURL: https://forgejo.riotpiao.com/riotpiao.com/homelab.git
    targetRevision: main
    path: k8s/applications/myapp
  destination:
    server: https://kubernetes.default.svc
    namespace: myapp
  syncPolicy:
    automated:
      prune: true
      selfHeal: true
    syncOptions:
      - CreateNamespace=true
EOF

# 3. Push and verify
git add -A && git commit -m "feat(myapp): add new app" && git push
kubectl get application myapp -n argocd
```

### **Rollback Bad Changes**

```bash
# Revert the commit
git revert HEAD
git push

# ArgoCD auto-syncs the rollback
kubectl get application <app-name> -n argocd -w
```

---

## 🔧 Common Operations

### **Check Application Status**

```bash
# List all apps
kubectl get applications -n argocd

# Get detailed status
kubectl describe application <app-name> -n argocd

# Check sync history
kubectl get application <app-name> -n argocd -o jsonpath='{.status.history}' | jq
```

### **Force Sync Application**

```bash
# Via kubectl
kubectl patch application <app-name> -n argocd --type=merge \
  -p='{"operation":{"initiatedBy":{"username":"manual"},"sync":{"prune":true}}}'

# Via ArgoCD CLI (if installed)
argocd app sync <app-name>
```

### **Check Storage Health**

```bash
# Longhorn nodes
kubectl get nodes.longhorn.io -n longhorn-system

# Volume replicas
kubectl get volumes.longhorn.io -n longhorn-system \
  -o custom-columns='NAME:.metadata.name,REPLICAS:.spec.numberOfReplicas,STATE:.status.state'

# DDB cluster
kubectl get cluster -n ddb
```

### **Database Operations**

```bash
# Connect to DDB primary
kubectl exec -it -n ddb ddb-cluster-1 -- psql -U app -d app

# Check replication status
kubectl exec -n ddb ddb-cluster-1 -- psql -U postgres -c "SELECT * FROM pg_stat_replication;"

# List databases
kubectl exec -n ddb ddb-cluster-1 -- psql -U app -d app -c "\l"
```

## ⚠️ Known Issues to Investigate

### **1. Kafka/SQS CrashLoopBackOff** (Pre-existing, 9h old)

**Status:** Not migration-related, existed before  
**Pods affected:**
- `kmsvc-entity-operator`
- `kmsvc-kmsvc-pool-0`
- `kmsvc-kmsvc-pool-2`

**Debug:**
```bash
kubectl logs -n sqs kmsvc-kmsvc-pool-0 --tail=100
kubectl describe pod -n sqs kmsvc-kmsvc-pool-0
kubectl get kafka -n sqs kmsvc -o yaml
```

**Likely cause:** Kafka configuration issue or storage problem

### **2. Authentik CreateContainerConfigError** (Pre-existing, 10h old)

**Status:** Secrets exist, but pod can't mount them  
**Pod:** `authentik-server-757b8cf657-lr98v`

**Debug:**
```bash
kubectl describe pod -n iam authentik-server-757b8cf657-lr98v
kubectl get secrets -n iam authentik
kubectl logs -n iam authentik-server-757b8cf657-lr98v
```

**Likely cause:** Secret key name mismatch or permission issue

### **3. Forgejo Reinitializing** (Expected)

**Status:** Normal after Application update  
**Expected resolution:** 2-5 minutes

**Monitor:**
```bash
watch kubectl get pods -n cicd
# Wait for forgejo-gitea pods to transition: Init → Running
```

---

## 📋 Recommended Actions (Priority Order)

### **Immediate (Now)**

- [x] Migration completed successfully
- [ ] Wait 5 minutes for Forgejo to finish init
- [ ] Verify all apps Synced: `kubectl get applications -n argocd`
- [ ] Test git push workflow:
  ```bash
  echo "# Test" >> README.md
  git commit -am "test: verify GitOps workflow"
  git push
  # Watch ArgoCD auto-sync
  ```

### **Short-term (Today)**

- [ ] Update CLAUDE.md topology table (3-node HA storage)
- [ ] Fix pre-existing Kafka issue (investigate logs)
- [ ] Fix pre-existing Authentik issue (check secret mounting)
- [ ] Set up backup schedule for DDB (see DDB-REVIEW.md)
- [ ] Enable Prometheus PodMonitor for DDB (`enablePodMonitor: true`)

### **Medium-term (This Week)**

- [ ] Implement DDB enhanced config (see DDB-REVIEW.md):
  - Increase shared_buffers 256MB → 512MB
  - Add PgBouncer pooler
  - Configure backups to MinIO
  - Add resource limits
- [ ] Set up monitoring alerts:
  - ArgoCD sync failures
  - DDB replication lag
  - Storage usage >80%
- [ ] Document runbooks for common issues
- [ ] Test disaster recovery (backup/restore)
