Two new NixOS Proxmox VMs (VMIDs 202/203) forming a dual-manager Docker
Swarm on dedicated vmbr3 (192.168.30.0/24, VLAN 30) for gossip and VXLAN,
with NFS via the storage-client network (vmbr2) from the existing HA cluster.
- nixos/variables.nix: add ha-docker IP/interface/port vars and swarm CIDR
- nixos/modules/build-types/ha-docker.nix: new build type — Docker 29,
NFS mounts, beszel-agent, health monitoring, swarm firewall rules with
checkReversePath = "loose" for VXLAN routing mesh
- nixos/hosts/ha-docker-{1,2}/host.nix: per-host identity — three NICs
(LAN, storage, swarm), IPA dyndns pinned to LAN interface
- nixos/flake.nix: add proxmox-ha-docker-{1,2} targets; build-validated
with nix build --dry-run (169 derivations, no errors)
- nixos/docs/ip-addressing.md: document VLAN 30 / swarm.home zone,
ha-docker IP allocations across all three subnets
- nixos/scripts/docker-swarm/deploy.sh: 10-phase lifecycle script
(bridge, keys, IPA, VMs, swarm init, DNS, verify); modelled on
scripts/ha/deploy.sh with --destroy mode
- nixos/docs/internal/docker-swarm-cutover.md: service-by-service
migration guide covering Traefik log rotation, Nextcloud cron sidecar,
docker-health-to-gotify swarm awareness updates, Passbolt/Gitea steps,
DNS cutover, and CT 105 decommission checklist

IP Addressing Scheme
Subnets
| Subnet | VLAN | CIDR | Purpose | Routed? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LAN | 2 (native/untagged) | 192.168.2.0/24 |
General LAN — clients and infrastructure | Yes (gateway .254) |
| Cluster | 10 | 192.168.10.224/29 |
HA file server DRBD replication + Corosync heartbeat | No — internal vmbr1 only, no uplink |
| Storage client | 20 | 192.168.20.0/24 |
HA file server NFS (and iSCSI if needed) — docker and swarm nodes mount from VIP here | No — internal vmbr2 only, no uplink |
| Swarm cluster | 30 | 192.168.30.0/24 |
Docker Swarm gossip (TCP/UDP 7946) + VXLAN overlay (UDP 4789) | No — internal vmbr3 only, no uplink |
When expanded to a second Proxmox node, VLAN 10 (cluster), VLAN 20 (storage-client), and VLAN 30 (swarm) all share the same inter-node trunk NIC via 802.1q VLAN tagging — different VLAN IDs, same physical cable.
The cluster and storage-client subnets never leave pve1. vmbr1 and vmbr2 are Proxmox Linux
bridges with no physical port attached; traffic between guests on each bridge stays in-kernel.
VLAN IDs match the third octet of each subnet (VLAN 2 → 192.168.2.x, VLAN 10 → 192.168.10.x,
VLAN 20 → 192.168.20.x). The host octet is consistent across all subnets — e.g. ha-node1
is always .228: 192.168.2.228 (LAN), 192.168.10.228 (cluster), 192.168.20.228 (storage client).
Protocol separation (enforced by firewall on HA nodes):
- NFS (ports 111, 2049, 20048): both subnets, each restricted to its own CIDR
- VLAN 2 only →
vip-lan(192.168.2.229) — pxe-boot and other LAN clients - VLAN 20 only →
vip-storage(192.168.20.229) — docker, future swarm nodes
- VLAN 2 only →
- iSCSI (port 3260): VLAN 20 only — available but not in active use; NFS is preferred for multi-host access (shared volumes across a Docker Swarm require a shared filesystem, not per-host block devices)
DNS Zones
FreeIPA (domain-controller.sweet.home) is authoritative for all zones.
Four zones correspond to the four subnets. All zones are internal only; no external delegation.
sweet.home — VLAN 2 (192.168.2.x)
General LAN zone. All infrastructure hostnames live here.
| Hostname | A record | Notes |
|---|---|---|
domain-controller.sweet.home |
192.168.2.253 |
FreeIPA / KDC / DNS |
ha-vip-lan.sweet.home |
192.168.2.229 |
Pacemaker vip-lan — NFS for LAN clients |
ha-server-1.sweet.home |
192.168.2.228 |
HA node 1 management NIC |
ha-server-2.sweet.home |
192.168.2.227 |
HA node 2 management NIC |
server.sweet.home |
192.168.2.226 |
Current ZFS/NFS server (retiring) |
docker.sweet.home |
192.168.2.225 |
Docker/Traefik host |
nix-cache.sweet.home |
192.168.2.224 |
Nix binary cache + remote builder |
pxe-boot.sweet.home |
192.168.2.223 |
PXE / TFTP / HTTP netboot |
tailscale-router.sweet.home |
192.168.2.222 |
Tailscale exit node |
tor-relay.sweet.home |
192.168.2.221 |
Tor relay |
pdm.sweet.home |
192.168.2.220 |
Proxmox Deploy Manager |
nixos.sweet.home |
192.168.2.39 |
Bare-metal workstation (DHCP) |
pve1.sweet.home |
192.168.2.245 |
Proxmox VE hypervisor |
pbs.sweet.home |
192.168.2.244 |
Proxmox Backup Server |
PTR records exist for all static hosts. The workstation (nixos.sweet.home) is
DHCP-assigned; its PTR is omitted.
cluster.home — VLAN 10 (192.168.10.x)
Internal only — Corosync ring0 heartbeat and DRBD replication between HA nodes. No VIP exists on this subnet (DRBD/Corosync endpoints are static per-node IPs).
| Hostname | A record | Notes |
|---|---|---|
ha-server-1.cluster.home |
192.168.10.228 |
HA node 1 cluster NIC (ens19 / vmbr1) |
ha-server-2.cluster.home |
192.168.10.227 |
HA node 2 cluster NIC (ens19 / vmbr1) |
PTR records exist for both. DNS here is for debugging convenience — DRBD and Corosync use the IPs from the NixOS config directly, not DNS.
storage.home — VLAN 20 (192.168.20.x)
Internal only — NFS (and iSCSI) client access to the HA storage VIP. NFS clients
mount from nfs.storage.home (the Pacemaker floating VIP) so mounts survive
failover transparently without reconfiguration.
| Hostname | A record | Notes |
|---|---|---|
nfs.storage.home |
192.168.20.229 |
Pacemaker vip-storage — NFS + iSCSI VIP |
ha-server-1.storage.home |
192.168.20.228 |
HA node 1 storage-client NIC (ens20 / vmbr2) |
ha-server-2.storage.home |
192.168.20.227 |
HA node 2 storage-client NIC (ens20 / vmbr2) |
docker.storage.home |
192.168.20.225 |
Docker host storage-client NIC (eth1 / vmbr2) |
server.storage.home |
192.168.20.226 |
server VM storage-client NIC (decommissioned — remove DNS record after VM is destroyed) |
PTR records exist for all five. Remove server.storage.home, server.sweet.home,
and their PTRs from FreeIPA DNS once the server VM is destroyed.

ha-docker-1 | Docker Swarm node 1 — management NIC | Active |
Client DHCP pool (.10–.59)
Assigned by the router. DNS option points to 192.168.2.253 (domain-controller).
Devices in this range: phones, laptops, IoT, Canon printer, any non-infrastructure host. No static reservations for infrastructure hosts — all infra uses static IP configuration on the guest itself (not DHCP reservations), so IPs survive VM recreation regardless of MAC address churn.
Cluster network — VLAN 10 — 192.168.10.224/29
Internal to pve1 only. Proxmox bridge vmbr1, no physical NIC attached.
| IP | Hostname | Interface role |
|---|---|---|
192.168.10.228 |
ha-node1 | DRBD replication + Corosync ring0 (primary heartbeat) |
192.168.10.227 |
ha-node2 | DRBD replication + Corosync ring0 (primary heartbeat) |
| — | no gateway | Isolated — not routed to LAN or internet |
Corosync ring1 (backup heartbeat only) uses the LAN IPs (192.168.2.228 / 192.168.2.227)
over vmbr0 — no additional bridge needed, and DRBD traffic never crosses ring1.
Storage-client network — VLAN 20 — 192.168.20.0/24
Internal to pve1 only. Proxmox bridge vmbr2, no physical NIC attached.
| IP | Hostname | Interface / role |
|---|---|---|
192.168.20.229 |
ha-vip-storage | Pacemaker floating VIP — NFS + iSCSI endpoint |
192.168.20.228 |
ha-node1 | Storage-client NIC (ens20 / vmbr2) |
192.168.20.227 |
ha-node2 | Storage-client NIC (ens20 / vmbr2) |
192.168.20.226 |
server | Storage-client NIC (ens19 / vmbr2) — decommissioned |
192.168.20.225 |
docker | Storage-client NIC (eth1 / vmbr2) — NFS client (CT 105) |
192.168.20.231 |
ha-docker-2 | Storage-client NIC (ens19 / vmbr2) — NFS client |
192.168.20.230 |
ha-docker-1 | Storage-client NIC (ens19 / vmbr2) — NFS client |
| — | no gateway | Isolated — not routed to LAN or internet |
NFS clients mount from 192.168.20.229 (surviving failover transparently via the VIP).
Firewall on each HA node restricts NFS and iSCSI ports to 192.168.20.0/24 — LAN hosts
cannot reach either service on this VIP. The vip-storage endpoint is not reachable
from the workstation directly (internal bridge only); health checks proxy through the
active HA node.
Swarm cluster network — VLAN 30 — 192.168.30.0/24
Internal to pve1 only. Proxmox bridge vmbr3, no physical NIC attached.
Carries Docker Swarm inter-node traffic only: Raft consensus (TCP 2377),
Serf gossip (TCP/UDP 7946), and VXLAN overlay data path (UDP 4789).
Docker Swarm is initialised with --advertise-addr and --data-path-addr
both pointing to this subnet so all cluster traffic stays on vmbr3 and
never crosses the LAN.
| IP | Hostname | Interface / role |
|---|---|---|
192.168.30.231 |
ha-docker-2 | Swarm cluster NIC (ens20 / vmbr3) |
192.168.30.230 |
ha-docker-1 | Swarm cluster NIC (ens20 / vmbr3) |
| — | no gateway | Isolated — not routed to LAN or internet |
DNS zone: swarm.home — VLAN 30 (192.168.30.x)
| Hostname | A record | Notes |
|---|---|---|
ha-docker-1.swarm.home |
192.168.30.230 |
Swarm NIC — debugging only |
ha-docker-2.swarm.home |
192.168.30.231 |
Swarm NIC — debugging only |
Operators reach the Docker API on the LAN IPs (192.168.2.230/.231), not these addresses.
The swarm.home records exist for diagnostic convenience (e.g. confirming vmbr3 routing).
Multi-node Proxmox expansion
When a second Proxmox node (pve2) is added, VLAN 10 (cluster), VLAN 20 (storage-client), and VLAN 30 (swarm) all extend to pve2 via 802.1q VLAN tagging on the inter-node trunk link. All three internal networks share the same physical NIC between hypervisors — VLAN tags provide the logical separation.
