At first boot, pacemaker fails with 'Dependency failed' because ipa-activation
fails (IPA not enrolled yet) before corosync/authkey are ready, causing a
systemd boot-ordering race. The service recovers fine when started manually.
Add an explicit 'systemctl start pacemaker' on both nodes immediately after
restarting corosync so cluster-init doesn't time out waiting for it.

The _patch_targetctl runtime dropin was a workaround for the wrong targetctl
binary path in the original iscsi-target.nix (used pkgs.targetcli-fb, but
targetctl is in rtslib-fb's python3 env). The module is now fixed to use
\${python3}/bin/targetctl, so new VM images have the correct ExecStart/ExecStop
baked in and the patch finds nothing — failing with exit 1 and killing the deploy.

Deploy/init fixes:
- iscsi-target.nix: targetctl binary is in rtslib-fb (python3 env), not
targetcli-fb — fixes ExecStart and ExecStop for the targetctl.service
- deploy.sh: _patch_targetctl() applies runtime dropin to both nodes before
cluster-init so Pacemaker can manage the iSCSI target from first start
- cluster-init.sh: replace crm configure heredoc with cibadmin --replace XML
(pacemaker-4.0 schema: globally-unique in meta_attributes, promoted-max/
promoted-node-max, Promoted role in constraints); force_unmount=true on
xfs-data; DRBD promote timeout 240s
- cluster-config.nix: add crm-fence-peer.sh/crm-unfence-peer.sh handlers;
update fencing comment to reflect resource-only + Pacemaker-aware handler
replacing STONITH during testing phase
- ha-server.nix: add openiscsi to systemPackages for T4 iscsiadm availability
Acceptance test fixes:
- acceptance-tests.sh: fix ((PASS++)) set -e bug → PASS=$((PASS+1));
detect Active/Standby dynamically via drbdadm role (Pacemaker can promote
either node); T4 bash TCP probe instead of iscsiadm; T5 timeout 120s;
T6 echo|sudo tee for root-owned XFS write (bash -c redirect runs as nixos
not sudo — permission denied); use ns cat / ns rm for root-owned reads

cibadmin raw XML fails schema validation under pacemaker-4.0: globally-unique
is not a valid direct <clone> attribute, and master-max/master-node-max are
renamed. Switch to crm configure commands which are schema-version-aware:
- promotable clone with promoted-max/promoted-node-max
- order/colocation constraints using Promoted role (Pacemaker 4.0 naming)
- crm configure handles schema differences automatically

clearconfig does not reliably clear kernel LIO configfs state — the kernel
still holds backing-file references, blocking umount. Replace clearconfig
with explicit targetcli delete commands (/iscsi delete, /backstores/fileio
delete) which do release kernel state. Also make DRBD secondary demote
idempotent (skip if already Secondary).

- Remove VIP-specific portal binding — the VIP doesn't exist until Pacemaker
assigns it; the default all-IPs portal (::0:3260) is correct for Pacemaker
to manage
- Clear existing LIO targets before re-running targetcli (idempotent on
partial failures)
- Tear down LIO kernel objects after saveconfig so umount succeeds (LIO holds
the backing file open otherwise)
- Guard mount with mountpoint check so re-runs don't fail when already mounted
- Use --replace for cibadmin constraints (idempotent vs --create)

- ha-server.nix: add xfsprogs to systemPackages so mkfs.xfs is on PATH for
root (needed by cluster-init.sh during initial setup)
- cluster-config.nix: create /var/lib/drbd via tmpfiles to silence
lk_bdev_save warnings from drbd-utils
- cluster-init.sh: dynamically find xfsprogs in /nix/store if not on PATH
(fallback for running VMs before xfsprogs is in the system profile)
- cluster-init.sh: fix DRBD metadata check on node2 — broken regex now uses
grep -E for ERE alternation to correctly skip create-md when DRBD is already
set up (previous regex would have triggered create-md on a live secondary)

Root SSH was failing because only the RSA admin key was authorized but the
local dev box only has an ed25519 key. Fix:
- cluster-config.nix: add ed25519 keys to root (same set as nixos user) so
future deployments work without the temp-key workaround
- deploy.sh/acceptance-tests.sh: SSH as nixos user with sudo instead of root@
- cluster-init.sh: HA_USER/HA_KEY env vars + n2_ssh()/n2_scp() helpers so
inter-node SSH works regardless of whether root-to-root is available
- deploy.sh Phase 6: generate temp keypair, authorize on node2, place on node1
for root to use during cluster-init, clean up afterward

pve_check() always uses sudo, so "sudo test -w /nix" passes as root
regardless of whether the SSH user can actually write there. Use a
direct non-sudo SSH command for the writability probe so the check
reflects wayne's own access, not root's.

When create-proxmox-resource.sh clones the repo to pve1, it stays on
whatever branch was checked out. Add a pre-build phase that detects
branch mismatch and switches the remote clone to the current local
branch before building, so the Proxmox node always builds from the
same commits we're deploying.

pve1 has a pre-existing /nix store owned by a different UID; wayne's IPA
UID (50002) can't write to it. Add a pre-phase-3 check that uses wayne's
passwordless sudo to chown -R the store before create-proxmox-resource.sh
runs codex-setup.sh on the node.

- Add root SSH key + passwordless sudo to ha-server nodes (needed for
deploy script to run cluster-init.sh via SSH as root on node1)
- Fix cluster-init.sh: correct default IPs (228/227/229 per variables.nix),
use \${VAR:-default} for all config so deploy.sh can override via env
- Fix acceptance-tests.sh: same IP corrections, add -i flag to SSH calls,
use \${VAR:-default} pattern
- Fix deploy.sh dry-run bugs: pve_check() always runs SSH for read-only
probes so bridge existence check is accurate; wait_for_ssh skips in
dry-run instead of timing out
- Fix cluster-init invocation: upload script via scp and run via SSH as
root on node1 (was incorrectly trying to run the script locally)
- Fix acceptance-tests invocation: pass IP env vars from deploy.sh

- Run sync-host-keys.sh for proxmox-ha-server-{1,2}: generates SSH host
key pairs in vars/per-machine/, registers age anchors in .sops.yaml,
adds both hosts as recipients for common.yaml, ha-corosync-authkey,
and per-host secrets/keytab files
- Re-encrypt secrets/common.yaml with both new host keys
- Convert all stub secrets to real sops-encrypted files:
secrets/ha-server-{1,2}.yaml (YAML, beszel-token = PLACEHOLDER)
secrets/ha-server-{1,2}.keytab (binary, stub text encrypted)
secrets/ha-corosync-authkey (binary, stub text encrypted)
- Add scripts/ha/deploy.sh: full lifecycle script (bridge setup, VM
creation, DRBD disk + storage NIC attachment, boot wait, cluster-init,
acceptance tests, --destroy)
Bootstrap order (operator runs these before first deploy):
1. bash scripts/ha/deploy.sh # deploys, tests
# Post-deploy secret replacement:
2. sops secrets/ha-server-{1,2}.yaml (set real beszel-token)
3. bash scripts/ipa/create-nixos-ipa-host-account.sh --ip 192.168.2.228 ha-server-1
4. bash scripts/ipa/create-nixos-ipa-host-account.sh --ip 192.168.2.227 ha-server-2
5. Set services.beszel.agent.environment.KEY in host.nix after hub pairing
6. nixos-rebuild switch on both nodes to pick up real secrets

Adds proxmox-ha-server-1 and proxmox-ha-server-2 as real mkTarget entries
alongside the existing proxmox-server, backed by a new ha-server build type.
New modules
modules/ha/cluster-config.nix — DRBD resource + corosync nodelist sourced
from vars (haServer1Host/Ip, haServer2Host/Ip); resource-only fencing for
production STONITH; HA port firewall rules for DRBD, iSCSI, Corosync, pcsd
modules/build-types/ha-server.nix — imports pacemaker-stack + iscsi-target
+ cluster-config + beszel; NFS exports from vars.haStorageRoot (XFS-over-DRBD
mount); nfs-server.service.wantedBy force-cleared so Pacemaker controls
start/stop on the Active node only
New hosts
hosts/ha-server-{1,2}/host.nix — static IP from vars, unique hostId; sops
secrets (beszel, corosync authkey) are TODOs pending sync-host-keys.sh
variables.nix
haServer1/2Host, haServer1/2Ip, haServerVip, haStorageRoot, haIscsiIqn
ports.haServerDrbd/Iscsi/Corosync{1,2,Crypto}/PacemakerRemoted/Pcsd
scripts/ha/ (migrated + updated from test-lab/ha/)
cluster-init.sh — generates corosync authkey, initialises DRBD/XFS/iSCSI,
creates NFS dataset dirs, configures Pacemaker with DRBD + XFS + iSCSI
+ nfs-server + VIP; STONITH disabled initially (enable separately)
cluster-enable-stonith.sh — enables fence_pve_ssh STONITH after key deploy
fence-pve-ssh.py — Proxmox SSH fence agent (node names updated to ha-server-1/2)
acceptance-tests.sh — T1–T7 production acceptance tests
test-lab/ha/ removed — all Nix config moved to modules/ha/ and
modules/build-types/; scripts moved to scripts/ha/
