Restructure docs: archive VLAN migration, update IPs to VLAN 10
Major documentation cleanup after VLAN migration completion:
- Archive 12 VLAN project docs to archive/vlan-migration/
- Archive 5 done WIP docs (VLAN proposals, AI stack, Fossorial, DNS backup)
- Create standing reference docs 08-DNS-ARCHITECTURE and 09-TAILSCALE-VPN
- Renumber docs to clean 01-09 sequence with merged CHANGELOG
- Update all active docs from stale 192.168.31.x to current VLAN 10 IPs
- Fix CSS1 (.10.9→.10.3) and ZX1 (.10.7→.10.4) IPs in hardware inventory
- Clean 06-VLAN-DEVICE-ASSIGNMENT: remove migration columns/sections, fix VLAN 25 subnet

# GitOps for Container Management
**Status:** 💡 IDEA
**Depends On:** Hardware upgrade completion
**Author:** Kaloyan
---
## Overview
Version control all container configurations to:
1. Track changes over time
2. Maintain consistency between XTRM-N5 and XTRM-N1
3. Enable automated deployments via Woodpecker CI
4. Recover from disasters quickly

## Workflow
### 1. Change Detection
```mermaid
flowchart LR
A[Edit config in Git] --> B[Push to main]
B --> C[Woodpecker CI triggers]
C --> D{Validate configs}
D -->|Pass| E[Deploy to target server]
D -->|Fail| F[Notify & block]
```
### 2. Drift Detection
```mermaid
flowchart LR
A[Scheduled job] --> B[Export current state]
B --> C{Compare to Git}
C -->|Match| D[All good]
C -->|Drift| E[Alert + PR with diff]
```
---
## Implementation Phases
### Phase 2.1: Export Current State
1. Export all docker-compose files
2. Export Unraid container templates (XML → YAML)
3. Export network configurations
4. Create initial commit
### Phase 2.2: CI Pipeline
```yaml
# .woodpecker.yml
pipeline:
validate:
image: docker:latest
commands:
- docker compose -f configs/xtrm-n5/docker/compose/*.yml config
deploy-n5:
image: alpine/ssh
when:
path: configs/xtrm-n5/**
commands:
- ssh root@192.168.10.20 "cd /path && docker compose up -d"
secrets: [ssh_key]
deploy-n1:
image: alpine/ssh
when:
path: configs/xtrm-n1/**
commands:
- ssh root@xtrm-n1 "cd /path && docker compose up -d"
secrets: [ssh_key]
```
### Phase 2.3: Drift Detection
Scheduled Woodpecker job:
1. SSH to each server
2. Export current docker/network state
3. Compare to Git configs
4. Create issue/PR if drift detected
### Phase 2.4: Unraid GUI Sync
**Challenge:** Changes made in Unraid GUI need to sync to Git
**Solution Options:**
| Option | Pros | Cons |
|--------|------|------|
| **A: Webhook on change** | Real-time sync | Complex, needs Unraid plugin |
| **B: Scheduled export** | Simple, reliable | Delay between change and commit |
| **C: Prohibit GUI changes** | Clean workflow | User friction |
**Recommended:** Option B with daily scheduled exports
```bash
# Cron job on Unraid
0 4 * * * /boot/config/scripts/export-docker-config.sh
```
---
## Secrets Management
**Options:**
| Tool | Integration | Complexity |
|------|-------------|------------|
| Woodpecker Secrets | Native | Low |
| Vaultwarden API | Via script | Medium |
| HashiCorp Vault | Enterprise | High |
**Recommended:** Woodpecker Secrets for CI, `.env.example` in Git
```yaml
# In docker-compose
services:
app:
env_file:
- .env # Not in Git, created from .env.example + secrets
```
---
## Rollback Strategy
1. **Git revert** - Revert commit, CI redeploys previous version
2. **Tagged releases** - Deploy specific tag
3. **Manual override** - SSH and docker compose down/up
