# Local NTP with Chrony
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview/Goal
|
||||
|
||||
Set up pve1 as a local NTP server and switch all NixOS VMs from systemd-timesyncd to chrony, pointing at pve1 as the sole time source. This eliminates clock drift issues that cause false `host_reboot` alerts.
|
||||
|
||||
## Current State
|
||||
|
||||
- All NixOS hosts use `systemd-timesyncd` with default NixOS pool servers (`0.nixos.pool.ntp.org` etc.)
|
||||
- No NTP/timesyncd configuration exists in the repo — all defaults
|
||||
- pve1 (Proxmox, bare metal) already runs chrony but only as a client
|
||||
- VMs drift noticeably — ns1 (~19ms) and jelly01 (~39ms) are worst offenders
|
||||
- Clock step corrections from timesyncd trigger false `host_reboot` alerts via `changes(node_boot_time_seconds[10m]) > 0`
|
||||
- pve1 itself stays at 0ms offset thanks to chrony
|
||||
|
||||
## Why systemd-timesyncd is Insufficient
|
||||
|
||||
- Minimal SNTP client, no proper clock discipline or frequency tracking
|
||||
- Backs off polling interval when it thinks clock is stable, missing drift
|
||||
- Corrects via step adjustments rather than gradual slewing, causing metric jumps
|
||||
- Each VM resolves to different pool servers with varying accuracy
|
||||
|
||||
## Implementation Steps
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Configure pve1 as NTP Server
|
||||
|
||||
Add to pve1's `/etc/chrony/chrony.conf`:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
# Allow NTP clients from the infrastructure subnet
|
||||
allow 10.69.13.0/24
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Restart chrony on pve1.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Add Chrony to NixOS System Config
|
||||
|
||||
Create `system/chrony.nix` (applied to all hosts via system imports):
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{
|
||||
# Disable systemd-timesyncd (chrony takes over)
|
||||
services.timesyncd.enable = false;
|
||||
|
||||
# Enable chrony pointing at pve1
|
||||
services.chrony = {
|
||||
enable = true;
|
||||
servers = [ "pve1.home.2rjus.net" ];
|
||||
serverOption = "iburst";
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Optional: Add Chrony Exporter
|
||||
|
||||
For better visibility into NTP sync quality:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
services.prometheus.exporters.chrony.enable = true;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Add chrony exporter scrape targets via `homelab.monitoring.scrapeTargets` and create a Grafana dashboard for NTP offset across all hosts.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Roll Out
|
||||
|
||||
- Deploy to a test-tier host first to verify
|
||||
- Then deploy to all hosts via auto-upgrade
|
||||
|
||||
## Open Questions
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Does pve1's chrony config need `local stratum 10` as fallback if upstream is unreachable?
|
||||
- [ ] Should we also enable `enableRTCTrimming` for the VMs?
|
||||
- [ ] Worth adding a chrony exporter on pve1 as well (manual install like node-exporter)?
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- No fallback NTP servers needed on VMs — if pve1 is down, all VMs are down too
|
||||
- The `host_reboot` alert rule (`changes(node_boot_time_seconds[10m]) > 0`) should stop false-firing once clock corrections are slewed instead of stepped
|
||||
- pn01/pn02 are bare metal but still benefit from syncing to pve1 for consistency

# Media PC Replacement
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Replace the aging Linux+Kodi media PC connected to the TV with a modern, compact solution. Primary use cases are Jellyfin/Kodi playback and watching Twitch/YouTube. The current machine (`media`, 10.69.31.50) is on VLAN 31.
|
||||
|
||||
## Current State
|
||||
|
||||
### Hardware
|
||||
- **CPU**: Intel Core i7-4770K @ 3.50GHz (Haswell, 4C/8T, 2013)
|
||||
- **GPU**: Nvidia GeForce GT 710 (Kepler, GK208B)
|
||||
- **OS**: Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS (Jammy)
|
||||
- **Software**: Kodi
|
||||
- **Network**: `media.home.2rjus.net` at `10.69.31.50` (VLAN 31)
|
||||
|
||||
### Control & Display
|
||||
- **Input**: Wireless keyboard (works well, useful for browser)
|
||||
- **TV**: 1080p (no 4K/HDR currently, but may upgrade TV later)
|
||||
- **Audio**: Surround system connected via HDMI ARC from TV (PC → HDMI → TV → ARC → surround)
|
||||
|
||||
### Notes on Current Hardware
|
||||
- The i7-4770K is massively overpowered for media playback — it's a full desktop CPU from 2013
|
||||
- The GT 710 is a low-end passive GPU; supports NVDEC for H.264/H.265 hardware decode but limited to 4K@30Hz over HDMI 1.4
|
||||
- Ubuntu 22.04 is approaching EOL (April 2027) and is not managed by this repo
|
||||
- The whole system is likely in a full-size or mid-tower case — not ideal for a TV setup
|
||||
|
||||
### Integration
|
||||
- **Media source**: Jellyfin on `jelly01` (10.69.13.14) serves media from NAS via NFS
|
||||
- **DNS**: A record in `services/ns/external-hosts.nix`
|
||||
- **Not managed**: Not a NixOS host in this repo, no monitoring/auto-updates
|
||||
|
||||
## Options
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: Dedicated Streaming Device (Apple TV / Nvidia Shield)
|
||||
|
||||
| Aspect | Apple TV 4K | Nvidia Shield Pro |
|
||||
|--------|-------------|-------------------|
|
||||
| **Price** | ~$130-180 | ~$200 |
|
||||
| **Jellyfin** | Swiftfin app (good) | Jellyfin Android TV (good) |
|
||||
| **Kodi** | Not available (tvOS) | Full Kodi support |
|
||||
| **Twitch** | Native app | Native app |
|
||||
| **YouTube** | Native app | Native app |
|
||||
| **HDR/DV** | Dolby Vision + HDR10 | Dolby Vision + HDR10 |
|
||||
| **4K** | Yes | Yes |
|
||||
| **Form factor** | Tiny, silent | Small, silent |
|
||||
| **Remote** | Excellent Siri remote | Decent, supports CEC |
|
||||
| **Homelab integration** | None | Minimal (Plex/Kodi only) |
|
||||
|
||||
**Pros:**
|
||||
- Zero maintenance - appliance experience
|
||||
- Excellent app ecosystem (native Twitch, YouTube, streaming services)
|
||||
- Silent, tiny form factor
|
||||
- Great remote control / CEC support
|
||||
- Hardware-accelerated codec support out of the box
|
||||
|
||||
**Cons:**
|
||||
- No NixOS management, monitoring, or auto-updates
|
||||
- Can't run arbitrary software
|
||||
- Jellyfin clients are decent but not as mature as Kodi
|
||||
- Vendor lock-in (Apple ecosystem / Google ecosystem)
|
||||
- No SSH access for troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: NixOS Mini PC (Kodi Appliance)
|
||||
|
||||
A small form factor PC (Intel NUC, Beelink, MinisForum, etc.) running NixOS with Kodi as the desktop environment.
|
||||
|
||||
**NixOS has built-in support:**
|
||||
- `services.xserver.desktopManager.kodi.enable` - boots directly into Kodi
|
||||
- `kodi-gbm` package - Kodi with direct DRM/KMS rendering (no X11/Wayland needed)
|
||||
- `kodiPackages.jellycon` - Jellyfin integration for Kodi
|
||||
- `kodiPackages.sendtokodi` - plays streams via yt-dlp (Twitch, YouTube)
|
||||
- `kodiPackages.inputstream-adaptive` - adaptive streaming support
|
||||
|
||||
**Example NixOS config sketch:**
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{ pkgs, ... }:
|
||||
{
|
||||
services.xserver.desktopManager.kodi = {
|
||||
enable = true;
|
||||
package = pkgs.kodi.withPackages (p: [
|
||||
p.jellycon
|
||||
p.sendtokodi
|
||||
p.inputstream-adaptive
|
||||
]);
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
# Auto-login to Kodi session
|
||||
services.displayManager.autoLogin = {
|
||||
enable = true;
|
||||
user = "kodi";
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Pros:**
|
||||
- Full NixOS management (monitoring, auto-updates, vault, promtail)
|
||||
- Kodi is a proven TV interface with excellent remote/CEC support
|
||||
- JellyCon integrates Jellyfin library directly into Kodi
|
||||
- Twitch/YouTube via sendtokodi + yt-dlp or Kodi browser addons
|
||||
- Can run arbitrary services (e.g., Home Assistant dashboard)
|
||||
- Declarative, reproducible config in this repo
|
||||
|
||||
**Cons:**
|
||||
- More maintenance than an appliance
|
||||
- NixOS + Kodi on bare metal needs GPU driver setup (Intel iGPU is usually fine)
|
||||
- Kodi YouTube/Twitch addons are less polished than native apps
|
||||
- Need to buy hardware (~$150-400 for a decent mini PC)
|
||||
- Power consumption higher than a streaming device
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 3: NixOS Mini PC (Wayland Desktop)
|
||||
|
||||
A mini PC running NixOS with a lightweight Wayland compositor, launching Kodi for media and a browser for Twitch/YouTube.
|
||||
|
||||
**Pros:**
|
||||
- Best of both worlds: Kodi for media, Firefox/Chromium for Twitch/YouTube
|
||||
- Full NixOS management
|
||||
- Can switch between Kodi and browser easily
|
||||
- Native web experience for streaming sites
|
||||
|
||||
**Cons:**
|
||||
- More complex setup (compositor + Kodi + browser)
|
||||
- Harder to get a good "10-foot UI" experience
|
||||
- Keyboard/mouse may be needed alongside remote
|
||||
- Significantly more maintenance
|
||||
|
||||
## Comparison
|
||||
|
||||
| Criteria | Dedicated Device | NixOS Kodi | NixOS Desktop |
|
||||
|----------|-----------------|------------|---------------|
|
||||
| **Maintenance** | None | Low | Medium |
|
||||
| **Media experience** | Excellent | Excellent | Good |
|
||||
| **Twitch/YouTube** | Excellent (native apps) | Good (addons/yt-dlp) | Excellent (browser) |
|
||||
| **Homelab integration** | None | Full | Full |
|
||||
| **Form factor** | Tiny | Small | Small |
|
||||
| **Cost** | $130-200 | $150-400 | $150-400 |
|
||||
| **Silent operation** | Yes | Likely (fanless options) | Likely |
|
||||
| **CEC remote** | Yes | Yes (Kodi) | Partial |
|
||||
|
||||
## Decision: NixOS Mini PC with Kodi (Option 2)
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale:**
|
||||
- Already comfortable with Kodi + wireless keyboard workflow
|
||||
- Browser access for Twitch/YouTube is important — Kodi can launch a browser when needed
|
||||
- Homelab integration comes for free (monitoring, auto-updates, vault)
|
||||
- Natural fit alongside the other 16 NixOS hosts in this repo
|
||||
- Dedicated devices lose the browser/keyboard workflow
|
||||
|
||||
### Display Server: Sway/Hyprland
|
||||
|
||||
Options evaluated:
|
||||
|
||||
| Approach | Pros | Cons |
|
||||
|----------|------|------|
|
||||
| Cage (kiosk) | Simplest, single-app | No browser without TTY switching |
|
||||
| kodi-gbm (no compositor) | Best HDR support | No browser at all, ALSA-only audio |
|
||||
| **Sway/Hyprland** | **Workspace switching, VA-API in browser** | **Slightly more config** |
|
||||
| Full DE (GNOME/KDE) | Everything works | Overkill, heavy |
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision: Sway or Hyprland** (Hyprland preferred — same as desktop)
|
||||
|
||||
- Kodi fullscreen on workspace 1, Firefox on workspace 2
|
||||
- Switch via keybinding on wireless keyboard
|
||||
- Auto-start both on login via greetd
|
||||
- Minimal config — no bar, no decorations, just workspaces
|
||||
- VA-API hardware decode works in Firefox on Wayland (important for YouTube/Twitch)
|
||||
- Can revisit kodi-gbm later if HDR becomes a priority (just a config change)
|
||||
|
||||
### Twitch/YouTube
|
||||
|
||||
Firefox on workspace 2, switched to via keyboard. Kodi addons (sendtokodi, YouTube plugin) available as secondary options but a real browser is the primary approach.
|
||||
|
||||
### Media Playback: Kodi + JellyCon + NFS Direct Path
|
||||
|
||||
Three options were evaluated for media playback:
|
||||
|
||||
| Approach | Transcoding | Library management | Watch state sync |
|
||||
|----------|-------------|-------------------|-----------------|
|
||||
| Jellyfin only (browser) | Yes — browsers lack codec support for DTS, PGS subs, etc. | Jellyfin | Jellyfin |
|
||||
| Kodi + NFS only | No — Kodi plays everything natively | Kodi local DB | None |
|
||||
| **Kodi + JellyCon + NFS** | **No — Kodi's native player, direct path via NFS** | **Jellyfin** | **Jellyfin** |
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision: Kodi + JellyCon with NFS direct path**
|
||||
|
||||
- JellyCon presents the Jellyfin library inside Kodi's UI (browse, search, metadata, artwork)
|
||||
- Playback uses Kodi's native player — direct play, no transcoding, full codec support including surround passthrough
|
||||
- JellyCon's "direct path" mode maps Jellyfin paths to local NFS mounts, so playback goes straight over NFS without streaming through Jellyfin's HTTP layer
|
||||
- Watch state, resume position, etc. sync back to Jellyfin — accessible from other devices too
|
||||
- NFS mount follows the same pattern as jelly01 (`nas.home.2rjus.net:/mnt/hdd-pool/media`)
|
||||
|
||||
### Audio Passthrough
|
||||
|
||||
Kodi on NixOS supports HDMI audio passthrough for surround formats (AC3, DTS, etc.). The ARC chain (PC → HDMI → TV → ARC → surround) works transparently — Kodi just needs to be configured for passthrough rather than decoding audio locally.
|
||||
|
||||
## Hardware
|
||||
|
||||
### Leading Candidate: GMKtec G3
|
||||
|
||||
- **CPU**: Intel N100 (Alder Lake-N, 4C/4T)
|
||||
- **RAM**: 16GB
|
||||
- **Storage**: 512GB NVMe
|
||||
- **Price**: ~NOK 2800 (~$250 USD)
|
||||
- **Source**: AliExpress
|
||||
|
||||
The N100 supports hardware decode for all relevant 4K codecs:
|
||||
|
||||
| Codec | Support | Used by |
|
||||
|-------|---------|---------|
|
||||
| H.264/AVC | Yes (Quick Sync) | Older media |
|
||||
| H.265/HEVC 10-bit | Yes (Quick Sync) | Most 4K media, HDR |
|
||||
| VP9 | Yes (Quick Sync) | YouTube 4K |
|
||||
| AV1 | Yes (Quick Sync) | YouTube, Twitch, newer encodes |
|
||||
|
||||
16GB RAM is comfortable for Kodi + browser + NixOS system services (node-exporter, promtail, etc.) with plenty of headroom.
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Requirements
|
||||
- HDMI 2.0+ for 4K future-proofing (current TV is 1080p)
|
||||
- Hardware video decode via VA-API / Intel Quick Sync
|
||||
- HDR support (for future TV upgrade)
|
||||
- Fanless or near-silent operation
|
||||
|
||||
## Implementation Steps
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Choose and order hardware**
|
||||
2. **Create host configuration** (`hosts/media1/`)
|
||||
- Kodi desktop manager with Jellyfin + streaming addons
|
||||
- Intel/AMD iGPU driver and VA-API hardware decode
|
||||
- HDMI audio passthrough for surround
|
||||
- NFS mount for media (same pattern as jelly01)
|
||||
- Browser package (Firefox/Chromium) for Twitch/YouTube fallback
|
||||
- Standard system modules (monitoring, promtail, vault, auto-upgrade)
|
||||
3. **Install NixOS** on the mini PC
|
||||
4. **Configure Kodi** (Jellyfin server, addons, audio passthrough)
|
||||
5. **Update DNS** - point `media.home.2rjus.net` to new IP (or keep on VLAN 31)
|
||||
6. **Retire old media PC**
|
||||
|
||||
## Open Questions
|
||||
|
||||
- [x] What are the current media PC specs? — i7-4770K, GT 710, Ubuntu 22.04. Overkill CPU, weak GPU, large form factor. Not worth reusing if goal is compact/silent.
|
||||
- [x] VLAN? — Keep on VLAN 31 for now, same as current media PC. Can revisit later.
|
||||

# NixOS Hypervisor
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Experiment with running a NixOS-based hypervisor as an alternative/complement to the current Proxmox setup. Goal is better homelab integration — declarative config, monitoring, auto-updates — while retaining the ability to run VMs with a Terraform-like workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
## Motivation
|
||||
|
||||
- Proxmox works but doesn't integrate with the NixOS-managed homelab (no monitoring, no auto-updates, no vault, no declarative config)
|
||||
- The PN51 units (once stable) are good candidates for experimentation — test-tier, plenty of RAM (32-64GB), 8C/16T
|
||||
- Long-term: could reduce reliance on Proxmox or provide a secondary hypervisor pool
|
||||
- **VM migration**: Currently all VMs (including both nameservers) run on a single Proxmox host. Being able to migrate VMs between hypervisors would allow rebooting a host for kernel updates without downtime for critical services like DNS.
|
||||
|
||||
## Hardware Candidates
|
||||
|
||||
| | pn01 | pn02 |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| **CPU** | Ryzen 7 5700U (8C/16T) | Ryzen 7 5700U (8C/16T) |
|
||||
| **RAM** | 64GB (2x32GB) | 32GB (1x32GB, second slot available) |
|
||||
| **Storage** | 1TB NVMe | 1TB SATA SSD (NVMe planned) |
|
||||
| **Status** | Stability testing | Stability testing |
|
||||
|
||||
## Options
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: Incus
|
||||
|
||||
Fork of LXD (after Canonical made LXD proprietary). Supports both containers (LXC) and VMs (QEMU/KVM).
|
||||
|
||||
**NixOS integration:**
|
||||
- `virtualisation.incus.enable` module in nixpkgs
|
||||
- Manages storage pools, networks, and instances
|
||||
- REST API for automation
|
||||
- CLI tool (`incus`) for management
|
||||
|
||||
**Terraform integration:**
|
||||
- `lxd` provider works with Incus (API-compatible)
|
||||
- Dedicated `incus` Terraform provider also exists
|
||||
- Can define VMs/containers in OpenTofu, similar to current Proxmox workflow
|
||||
|
||||
**Migration:**
|
||||
- Built-in live and offline migration via `incus move <instance> --target <host>`
|
||||
- Clustering makes hosts aware of each other — migration is a first-class operation
|
||||
- Shared storage (NFS, Ceph) or Incus can transfer storage during migration
|
||||
- Stateful stop-and-move also supported for offline migration
|
||||
|
||||
**Pros:**
|
||||
- Supports both containers and VMs
|
||||
- REST API + CLI for automation
|
||||
- Built-in clustering and migration — closest to Proxmox experience
|
||||
- Good NixOS module support
|
||||
- Image-based workflow (can build NixOS images and import)
|
||||
- Active development and community
|
||||
|
||||
**Cons:**
|
||||
- Another abstraction layer on top of QEMU/KVM
|
||||
- Less mature Terraform provider than libvirt
|
||||
- Container networking can be complex
|
||||
- NixOS guests in Incus VMs need some setup
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: libvirt/QEMU
|
||||
|
||||
Standard Linux virtualization stack. Thin wrapper around QEMU/KVM.
|
||||
|
||||
**NixOS integration:**
|
||||
- `virtualisation.libvirtd.enable` module in nixpkgs
|
||||
- Mature and well-tested
|
||||
- virsh CLI for management
|
||||
|
||||
**Terraform integration:**
|
||||
- `dmacvicar/libvirt` provider — mature, well-maintained
|
||||
- Supports cloud-init, volume management, network config
|
||||
- Very similar workflow to current Proxmox+OpenTofu setup
|
||||
- Can reuse cloud-init patterns from existing `terraform/` config
|
||||
|
||||
**Migration:**
|
||||
- Supports live and offline migration via `virsh migrate`
|
||||
- Requires shared storage (NFS, Ceph, or similar) for live migration
|
||||
- Requires matching CPU models between hosts (or CPU model masking)
|
||||
- Works but is manual — no cluster awareness, must specify target URI
|
||||
- No built-in orchestration for multi-host scenarios
|
||||
|
||||
**Pros:**
|
||||
- Closest to current Proxmox+Terraform workflow
|
||||
- Most mature Terraform provider
|
||||
- Minimal abstraction — direct QEMU/KVM management
|
||||
- Well-understood, massive community
|
||||
- Cloud-init works identically to Proxmox workflow
|
||||
- Can reuse existing template-building patterns
|
||||
|
||||
**Cons:**
|
||||
- VMs only (no containers without adding LXC separately)
|
||||
- No built-in REST API (would need to expose libvirt socket)
|
||||
- No web UI without adding cockpit or virt-manager
|
||||
- Migration works but requires manual setup — no clustering, no orchestration
|
||||
- Less feature-rich than Incus for multi-host scenarios
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 3: microvm.nix
|
||||
|
||||
NixOS-native microVM framework. VMs defined as NixOS modules in the host's flake.
|
||||
|
||||
**NixOS integration:**
|
||||
- VMs are NixOS configurations in the same flake
|
||||
- Supports multiple backends: cloud-hypervisor, QEMU, firecracker, kvmtool
|
||||
- Lightweight — shares host's nix store with guests via virtiofs
|
||||
- Declarative network, storage, and resource allocation
|
||||
|
||||
**Terraform integration:**
|
||||
- None — everything is defined in Nix
|
||||
- Fundamentally different workflow from current Proxmox+Terraform approach
|
||||
|
||||
**Pros:**
|
||||
- Most NixOS-native approach
|
||||
- VMs defined right alongside host configs in this repo
|
||||
- Very lightweight — fast boot, minimal overhead
|
||||
- Shares nix store with host (no duplicate packages)
|
||||
- No cloud-init needed — guest config is part of the flake
|
||||
|
||||
**Migration:**
|
||||
- No migration support — VMs are tied to the host's NixOS config
|
||||
- Moving a VM means rebuilding it on another host
|
||||
|
||||
**Cons:**
|
||||
- Very niche, smaller community
|
||||
- Different mental model from current workflow
|
||||
- Only NixOS guests (no Ubuntu, FreeBSD, etc.)
|
||||
- No Terraform integration
|
||||
- No migration support
|
||||
- Less isolation than full QEMU VMs
|
||||
- Would need to learn a new deployment pattern
|
||||
|
||||
## Comparison

||||

||||

||||

||||

|
||||
| **Offline migration** | Built-in | Yes (manual setup) | No (rebuild) |
|
||||
| **Clustering** | Built-in | Manual | No |
|
||||
| **Learning curve** | Medium | Low | Medium |
|
||||
| **Community/maturity** | Growing | Very mature | Niche |
|
||||
| **Overhead** | Low | Minimal | Minimal |
|
||||
|
||||
## Recommendation
|
||||
|
||||
Start with **Incus**. Migration and clustering are key requirements:
|
||||
- Built-in clustering makes two PN51s a proper hypervisor pool
|
||||
- Live and offline migration are first-class operations, similar to Proxmox
|
||||
- Can move VMs between hosts for maintenance (kernel updates, hardware work) without downtime
|
||||
- Supports both containers and VMs — flexibility for future use
|
||||
- Terraform provider exists (less mature than libvirt's, but functional)
|
||||
- REST API enables automation beyond what Terraform covers
|
||||
|
||||
libvirt could achieve similar results but requires significantly more manual setup for migration and has no clustering awareness. For a two-node setup where migration is a priority, Incus provides much more out of the box.
|
||||
|
||||
**microvm.nix** is off the table given the migration requirement.
|
||||
|
||||
## Implementation Plan
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 1: Single-Node Setup (on one PN51)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Enable `virtualisation.incus` on pn01 (or whichever is stable)
|
||||
2. Initialize Incus (`incus admin init`) — configure storage pool (local NVMe) and network bridge
|
||||
3. Configure bridge networking for VM traffic on VLAN 12
|
||||
4. Build a NixOS VM image and import it into Incus
|
||||
5. Create a test VM manually with `incus launch` to validate the setup
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 2: Two-Node Cluster (PN51s only)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Enable Incus on the second PN51
|
||||
2. Form a cluster between both nodes
|
||||
3. Configure shared storage (NFS from NAS, or Ceph if warranted)
|
||||
4. Test offline migration: `incus move <vm> --target <other-node>`
|
||||
5. Test live migration with shared storage
|
||||
6. CPU compatibility is not an issue here — both nodes have identical Ryzen 7 5700U CPUs
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 3: Terraform Integration
|
||||
|
||||
1. Add Incus Terraform provider to `terraform/`
|
||||
2. Define a test VM in OpenTofu (cloud-init, static IP, vault provisioning)
|
||||
3. Verify the full pipeline: tofu apply -> VM boots -> cloud-init -> vault credentials -> NixOS rebuild
|
||||
4. Compare workflow with existing Proxmox pipeline
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 4: Evaluate and Expand
|
||||
|
||||
- Is the workflow comparable to Proxmox?
|
||||
- Migration reliability — does live migration work cleanly?
|
||||
- Performance overhead acceptable on Ryzen 5700U?
|
||||
- Worth migrating some test-tier VMs from Proxmox?
|
||||
- Could ns1/ns2 run on separate Incus nodes instead of the single Proxmox host?
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 5: Proxmox Replacement (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
If Incus works well on the PN51s, consider replacing Proxmox entirely for a three-node cluster.
|
||||
|
||||
**CPU compatibility for mixed cluster:**
|
||||
|
||||
| Node | CPU | Architecture | x86-64-v3 |
|
||||
|------|-----|-------------|-----------|
|
||||
| Proxmox host | AMD Ryzen 9 3900X (12C/24T) | Zen 2 | Yes |
|
||||
| pn01 | AMD Ryzen 7 5700U (8C/16T) | Zen 3 | Yes |
|
||||
| pn02 | AMD Ryzen 7 5700U (8C/16T) | Zen 3 | Yes |
|
||||
|
||||
All three CPUs are AMD and support `x86-64-v3`. The 3900X (Zen 2) is the oldest, so it defines the feature ceiling — but `x86-64-v3` is well within its capabilities. VMs configured with `x86-64-v3` can migrate freely between all three nodes.
|
||||
|
||||
Being all-AMD also avoids the trickier Intel/AMD cross-vendor migration edge cases (different CPUID layouts, virtualization extensions).
|
||||
|
||||
The 3900X (12C/24T) would be the most powerful node, making it the natural home for heavier workloads, with the PN51s (8C/16T each) handling lighter VMs or serving as migration targets during maintenance.
|
||||
|
||||
Steps:
|
||||
1. Install NixOS + Incus on the Proxmox host (or a replacement machine)
|
||||
2. Join it to the existing Incus cluster with `x86-64-v3` CPU baseline
|
||||
3. Migrate VMs from Proxmox to the Incus cluster
|
||||
4. Decommission Proxmox
|
||||
|
||||
## Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] PN51 units pass stability testing (see `pn51-stability.md`)
|
||||
- [ ] Decide which unit to use first (pn01 preferred — 64GB RAM, NVMe, currently more stable)
|
||||
|
||||
## Open Questions
|
||||
|
||||
- How to handle VM storage? Local NVMe, NFS from NAS, or Ceph between the two nodes?
|
||||
- Network topology: bridge on VLAN 12, or trunk multiple VLANs to the PN51?
|
||||
- Should VMs be on the same VLAN as the hypervisor host, or separate?
|
||||
- Incus clustering with only two nodes — any quorum issues? Three nodes (with Proxmox replacement) would solve this
|
||||
- How to handle NixOS guest images? Build with nixos-generators, or use Incus image builder?
|
||||
- ~~What CPU does the current Proxmox host have?~~ AMD Ryzen 9 3900X (Zen 2) — `x86-64-v3` confirmed, all-AMD cluster
|
||||
- If replacing Proxmox: migrate VMs first, or fresh start and rebuild?

# NixOS OpenStack Image
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Build and upload a NixOS base image to the OpenStack cluster at work, enabling NixOS-based VPS instances to replace the current Debian+Podman setup. This image will serve as the foundation for multiple external services:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Forgejo** (replacing Gitea on docker2)
|
||||
- **WireGuard gateway** (replacing docker2's tunnel role, feeding into the remote-access plan)
|
||||
- Any future externally-hosted services
|
||||
|
||||
## Current State
|
||||
|
||||
- VPS hosting runs on an OpenStack cluster with a personal quota
|
||||
- Current VPS (`docker2.t-juice.club`) runs Debian with Podman containers
|
||||
- Homelab already has a working Proxmox image pipeline: `template2` builds via `nixos-rebuild build-image --image-variant proxmox`, deployed via Ansible
|
||||
- nixpkgs has a built-in `openstack` image variant in the same `image.modules` system used for Proxmox
|
||||
|
||||
## Decisions
|
||||
|
||||
- **No cloud-init dependency** - SSH key baked into the image, no need for metadata service
|
||||
- **No bootstrap script** - VPS deployments are infrequent; manual `nixos-rebuild` after first boot is fine
|
||||
- **No Vault access** - secrets handled manually until WireGuard access is set up (see remote-access plan)
|
||||
- **Separate from homelab services** - no logging/metrics integration initially; revisit after remote-access WireGuard is in place
|
||||
- **Repo placement TBD** - keep in this flake for now for convenience, but external hosts may move to a separate flake later since they can't use most shared `system/` modules (no Vault, no internal DNS, no Promtail)
|
||||
- **OpenStack CLI in devshell** - add `openstackclient` package; credentials (`clouds.yaml`) stay outside the repo
|
||||
- **Parallel deployment** - new Forgejo instance runs alongside docker2 initially, then CNAME moves over
|
||||
|
||||
## Approach
|
||||
|
||||
Follow the same pattern as the Proxmox template (`hosts/template2`), but targeting OpenStack's qcow2 format.
|
||||
|
||||
### What nixpkgs provides
|
||||
|
||||
The `image.modules.openstack` module produces a qcow2 image with:
|
||||
- `openstack-config.nix`: EC2 metadata fetcher, SSH enabled, GRUB bootloader, serial console, auto-growing root partition
|
||||
- `qemu-guest.nix` profile (virtio drivers)
|
||||
- ext4 root filesystem with `autoResize`
|
||||
|
||||
### What we need to customize
|
||||
|
||||
The stock OpenStack image pulls SSH keys and hostname from EC2-style metadata. Since we're baking the SSH key into the image, we need a simpler configuration:
|
||||
|
||||
- SSH authorized keys baked into the image
|
||||
- Base packages (age, vim, wget, git)
|
||||
- Nix substituters (`cache.nixos.org` only - internal cache not reachable)
|
||||
- systemd-networkd with DHCP
|
||||
- GRUB bootloader
|
||||
- Firewall enabled (public-facing host)
|
||||
|
||||
### Differences from template2
|
||||
|
||||
| Aspect | template2 (Proxmox) | openstack-template (OpenStack) |
|
||||
|--------|---------------------|-------------------------------|
|
||||
| Image format | VMA (`.vma.zst`) | qcow2 (`.qcow2`) |
|
||||
| Image variant | `proxmox` | `openstack` |
|
||||
| Cloud-init | ConfigDrive + NoCloud | Not used (SSH key baked in) |
|
||||
| Nix cache | Internal + nixos.org | `cache.nixos.org` only |
|
||||
| Vault | AppRole via wrapped token | None |
|
||||
| Bootstrap | Automatic nixos-rebuild on first boot | Manual |
|
||||
| Network | Internal DHCP | OpenStack DHCP |
|
||||
| DNS | Internal ns1/ns2 | Public DNS |
|
||||
| Firewall | Disabled (trusted network) | Enabled |
|
||||
| System modules | Full `../../system` import | Minimal (sshd, packages only) |
|
||||
|
||||
## Implementation Steps
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 1: Build the image
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create `hosts/openstack-template/` with minimal configuration
|
||||
- `default.nix` - imports (only sshd and packages from `system/`, not the full set)
|
||||
- `configuration.nix` - base config: SSH key, DHCP, GRUB, base packages, firewall on
|
||||
- `hardware-configuration.nix` - qemu-guest profile with virtio drivers
|
||||
- Exclude from DNS and monitoring (`homelab.dns.enable = false`, `homelab.monitoring.enable = false`)
|
||||
- May need to override parts of `image.modules.openstack` to disable the EC2 metadata fetcher if it causes boot delays
|
||||
2. Build with `nixos-rebuild build-image --image-variant openstack --flake .#openstack-template`
|
||||
3. Verify the qcow2 image is produced in `result/`
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 2: Upload and test
|
||||
|
||||
1. Add `openstackclient` to the devshell
|
||||
2. Upload image: `openstack image create --disk-format qcow2 --file result/<image>.qcow2 nixos-template`
|
||||
3. Boot a test instance from the image
|
||||
4. Verify: SSH access works, DHCP networking, Nix builds work
|
||||
5. Test manual `nixos-rebuild switch --flake` against the instance
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 3: Automation (optional, later)
|
||||
|
||||
Consider an Ansible playbook similar to `build-and-deploy-template.yml` for image builds + uploads. Low priority since this will be done rarely.
|
||||
|
||||
## Open Questions
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Should external VPS hosts eventually move to a separate flake? (Depends on how different they end up being from homelab hosts)
|
||||
- [ ] Will the stock `openstack-config.nix` metadata fetcher cause boot delays/errors if the metadata service isn't reachable? May need to disable it.
|
||||
- [ ] **Flavor selection** - investigate what flavors are available in the quota. The standard small flavors likely have insufficient root disk for a NixOS host (Nix store grows fast). Options:
|
||||
- Use a larger flavor with adequate root disk
|
||||
- Create a custom flavor (if permissions allow)
|
||||
- Cinder block storage is an option in theory, but was very slow last time it was tested - avoid if possible
|
||||
- [ ] Consolidation opportunity - currently running multiple smaller VMs on OpenStack. Could a single larger NixOS VM replace several of them?
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- `nixos-rebuild build-image --image-variant openstack` uses the same `image.modules` system as Proxmox
|

- nixpkgs also has an `openstack-zfs` variant if ZFS root is ever wanted
|
||||
- The stock OpenStack module imports `ec2-data.nix` and `amazon-init.nix` - these may need to be disabled or overridden if they cause issues without a metadata service

# ASUS PN51 Stability Testing
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Two ASUS PN51-E1 mini PCs (Ryzen 7 5700U) purchased years ago but shelved due to stability issues. Revisiting them to potentially add to the homelab.
|
||||
|
||||
## Hardware
|
||||
|
||||
| | pn01 (10.69.12.60) | pn02 (10.69.12.61) |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| **CPU** | AMD Ryzen 7 5700U (8C/16T) | AMD Ryzen 7 5700U (8C/16T) |
|
||||
| **RAM** | 2x 32GB DDR4 SO-DIMM (64GB) | 1x 32GB DDR4 SO-DIMM (32GB) |
|
||||
| **Storage** | 1TB NVMe | 1TB Samsung 870 EVO (SATA SSD) |
|
||||
| **BIOS** | 0508 (2023-11-08) | Updated 2026-02-21 (latest from ASUS) |
|
||||
|
||||
## Original Issues
|
||||
|
||||
- **pn01**: Would boot but freeze randomly after some time. No console errors, completely unresponsive. memtest86 passed.
|
||||
- **pn02**: Had trouble booting — would start loading kernel from installer USB then instantly reboot. When it did boot, would also freeze randomly.
|
||||
|
||||
## Debugging Steps
|
||||
|
||||
### 2026-02-21: Initial Setup
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Disabled fTPM** (labeled "Security Device" in ASUS BIOS) on both units
|
||||
- AMD Ryzen 5000 series had a known fTPM bug causing random hard freezes with no console output
|
||||
- Both units booted the NixOS installer successfully after this change
|
||||
2. Installed NixOS on both, added to repo as `pn01` and `pn02` on VLAN 12
|
||||
3. Configured monitoring (node-exporter, promtail, nixos-exporter)
|
||||
|
||||
### 2026-02-21: pn02 First Freeze
|
||||
|
||||
- pn02 froze approximately 1 hour after boot
|
||||
- All three Prometheus targets went down simultaneously — hard freeze, not graceful shutdown
|
||||
- Journal on next boot: `system.journal corrupted or uncleanly shut down`
|
||||
- Kernel warnings from boot log before freeze:
|
||||
- **TSC clocksource unstable**: `Marking clocksource 'tsc' as unstable because the skew is too large` — TSC skewing ~3.8ms over 500ms relative to HPET watchdog
|
||||
- **AMD PSP error**: `psp gfx command LOAD_TA(0x1) failed and response status is (0x7)` — Platform Security Processor failing to load trusted application
|
||||
- pn01 did not show these warnings on this particular boot, but has shown them historically (see below)
|
||||
|
||||
### 2026-02-21: pn02 BIOS Update
|
||||
|
||||
- Updated pn02 BIOS to latest version from ASUS website
|
||||
- **TSC still unstable** after BIOS update — same ~3.8ms skew
|
||||
- **PSP LOAD_TA still failing** after BIOS update
|
||||
- Monitoring back up, letting it run to see if freeze recurs
|
||||
|
||||
### 2026-02-22: TSC/PSP Confirmed on Both Units
|
||||
|
||||
- Checked kernel logs after ~9 hours uptime — both units still running
|
||||
- **pn01 now shows TSC unstable and PSP LOAD_TA failure** on this boot (same ~3.8ms TSC skew, same PSP error)
|
||||
- pn01 had these same issues historically when tested years ago — the earlier clean boot was just lucky TSC calibration timing
|
||||
- **Conclusion**: TSC instability and PSP LOAD_TA are platform-level quirks of the PN51-E1 / Ryzen 5700U, present on both units
|
||||
- The kernel handles TSC instability gracefully (falls back to HPET), and PSP LOAD_TA is non-fatal
|
||||
- Neither issue is likely the cause of the hard freezes — the fTPM bug remains the primary suspect
|
||||
|
||||
### 2026-02-22: Stress Test (1 hour)
|
||||
|
||||
- Ran `stress-ng --cpu 16 --vm 2 --vm-bytes 8G --timeout 1h` on both units
|
||||
- CPU temps peaked at ~85°C, settled to ~80°C sustained (throttle limit is 105°C)
|
||||
- Both survived the full hour with no freezes, no MCE errors, no kernel issues
|
||||
- No concerning log entries during or after the test
|
||||
|
||||
### 2026-02-22: TSC Runtime Switch Test
|
||||
|
||||
- Attempted to switch clocksource back to TSC at runtime on pn01:
|
||||
```
|
||||
echo tsc > /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Kernel watchdog immediately reverted to HPET — TSC skew is ongoing, not just a boot-time issue
|
||||
- **Conclusion**: TSC is genuinely unstable on the PN51-E1 platform. HPET is the correct clocksource.
|
||||
- For virtualization (Incus), this means guest VMs will use HPET-backed timing. Performance impact is minimal for typical server workloads (DNS, monitoring, light services) but would matter for latency-sensitive applications.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2026-02-22: BIOS Tweaks (Both Units)
|
||||
|
||||
- Disabled ErP Ready on both (EU power efficiency mode — aggressively cuts power in idle)
|
||||
- Disabled WiFi and Bluetooth in BIOS on both
|
||||
- **TSC still unstable** after these changes — same ~3.8ms skew on both units
|
||||
- ErP/power states are not the cause of the TSC issue
|
||||
|
||||
### 2026-02-22: pn02 Second Freeze
|
||||
|
||||
- pn02 froze again ~5.5 hours after boot (at idle, not under load)
|
||||
- All Prometheus targets down simultaneously — same hard freeze pattern
|
||||
- Last log entry was normal nix-daemon activity — zero warning/error logs before crash
|
||||
- Survived the 1h stress test earlier but froze at idle later — not thermal
|
||||
- pn01 remains stable throughout
|
||||
- **Action**: Blacklisted `amdgpu` kernel module on pn02 (`boot.blacklistedKernelModules = [ "amdgpu" ]`) to eliminate GPU/PSP firmware interactions as a cause. No console output but managed via SSH.
|
||||
- **Action**: Added diagnostic/recovery config to pn02:
|
||||
- `panic=10` + `nmi_watchdog=1` kernel params — auto-reboot after 10s on panic
|
||||
- `softlockup_panic` + `hardlockup_panic` sysctls — convert lockups to panics with stack traces
|
||||
- `hardware.rasdaemon` with recording — logs hardware errors (MCE, PCIe AER, memory) to sqlite database, survives reboots
|
||||
- Check recorded errors: `ras-mc-ctl --summary`, `ras-mc-ctl --errors`
|
||||
|
||||
## Benign Kernel Errors (Both Units)
|
||||
|
||||
These appear on both units and can be ignored:
|
||||
- `clocksource: Marking clocksource 'tsc' as unstable` — TSC skew vs HPET, kernel falls back gracefully. Platform-level quirk on PN51-E1, not always reproducible on every boot.
|
||||
- `psp gfx command LOAD_TA(0x1) failed` — AMD PSP firmware error, non-fatal. Present on both units across all BIOS versions.
|
||||
- `pcie_mp2_amd: amd_sfh_hid_client_init failed err -95` — AMD Sensor Fusion Hub, no sensors connected
|
||||
- `Bluetooth: hci0: Reading supported features failed` — Bluetooth init quirk
|
||||
- `Serial bus multi instantiate pseudo device driver INT3515:00: error -ENXIO` — unused serial bus device
|
||||
- `snd_hda_intel: no codecs found` — no audio device connected, headless server
|
||||
- `ata2.00: supports DRM functions and may not be fully accessible` — Samsung SSD DRM quirk (pn02 only)
|
||||
|
||||
### 2026-02-23: processor.max_cstate=1 and Proxmox Forums
|
||||
|
||||
- Found a thread on the Proxmox forums about PN51 units with similar freeze issues
|
||||
- Many users reporting identical symptoms — random hard freezes, no log evidence
|
||||
- No conclusive fix. Some have frequent freezes, others only a few times a month
|
||||
- Some reported BIOS updates helped, but results inconsistent
|
||||
- Added `processor.max_cstate=1` kernel parameter to pn02 — limits CPU to C1 halt state, preventing deep C-state sleep transitions that may trigger freezes on AMD mobile chips
|
||||
- Also applied: amdgpu blacklist, panic=10, nmi_watchdog=1, softlockup/hardlockup panic, rasdaemon
|
||||
|
||||
### 2026-02-23: logind D-Bus Deadlock (pn02)
|
||||
|
||||
- node-exporter alert fired — but host was NOT frozen
|
||||
- logind was running (PID 871) but deadlocked on D-Bus — not responding to `org.freedesktop.login1` requests
|
||||
- Every node-exporter scrape blocked for 25s waiting for logind, causing scrape timeouts
|
||||
- Likely related to amdgpu blacklist — no DRM device means no graphical seat, logind may have deadlocked during seat enumeration at boot
|
||||
- Fix: `systemctl restart systemd-logind` + `systemctl restart prometheus-node-exporter`
|
||||
- After restart, logind responded normally and reported seat0
|
||||
|
||||
### 2026-02-27: pn02 Third Freeze
|
||||
|
||||
- pn02 crashed again after ~2 days 21 hours uptime (longest run so far)
|
||||
- Evidence of crash:
|
||||
- Journal file corrupted: `system.journal corrupted or uncleanly shut down`
|
||||
- Boot partition fsck: `Dirty bit is set. Fs was not properly unmounted`
|
||||
- No orderly shutdown logs from previous boot
|
||||
- No auto-upgrade triggered
|
||||
- **NMI watchdog did NOT fire** — no kernel panic logged. This is a true hard lockup below NMI level
|
||||
- **rasdaemon recorded nothing** — no MCE, AER, or memory errors in the sqlite database
|
||||
- **Positive**: The system auto-rebooted this time (likely hardware watchdog), unlike previous freezes that required manual power cycle
|
||||
- `processor.max_cstate=1` may have extended uptime (2d21h vs previous 1h and 5.5h) but did not prevent the freeze
|
||||
|
||||
### 2026-02-27 to 2026-03-03: Relative Stability
|
||||
|
||||
- pn02 ran without crashes for approximately one week after the third freeze
|
||||
- pn01 continued to be completely stable throughout this period
|
||||
- Auto-upgrade reboots continued daily (~4am) on both units — these are planned and healthy
|
||||
|
||||
### 2026-03-04: pn02 Fourth Crash — sched_ext Kernel Oops (pstore captured)
|
||||
|
||||
- pn02 crashed after ~5.8 days uptime (504566s)
|
||||
- **First crash captured by pstore** — kernel oops and panic stack traces preserved across reboot
|
||||
- Journal corruption confirmed: `system.journal corrupted or uncleanly shut down`
|
||||
- **Crash location**: `RIP: 0010:set_next_task_scx+0x6e/0x210` — crash in the **sched_ext (SCX) scheduler** subsystem
|
||||
- **Call trace**: `sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt` → `cpuidle_enter_state` — crashed during CPU idle, triggered by APIC timer interrupt
|
||||
- **CR2**: `ffffffffffffff89` — dereferencing an obviously invalid kernel pointer
|
||||
- **Kernel**: 6.12.74 (NixOS 25.11)
|
||||
- **Significance**: This is the first crash with actual diagnostic output. Previous crashes were silent sub-NMI freezes. The sched_ext scheduler path is a new finding — earlier crashes were assumed to be hardware-level.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2026-03-06: pn02 Fifth Crash
|
||||
|
||||
- pn02 crashed again — journal corruption on next boot
|
||||
- No pstore data captured for this crash
|
||||
|
||||
### 2026-03-07: pn02 Sixth and Seventh Crashes — Two in One Day
|
||||
|
||||
**First crash (~11:06 UTC):**
|
||||
- ~26.6 hours uptime (95994s)
|
||||
- **pstore captured both Oops and Panic**
|
||||
- **Crash location**: Scheduler code path — `pick_next_task_fair` → `__pick_next_task`
|
||||
- **CR2**: `000000c000726000` — invalid pointer dereference
|
||||
- **Notable**: `dbus-daemon` segfaulted ~50 minutes before the kernel crash (`segfault at 0` in `libdbus-1.so.3.32.4` on CPU 0) — may indicate memory corruption preceding the kernel crash
|
||||
|
||||
**Second crash (~21:15 UTC):**
|
||||
- Journal corruption confirmed on next boot
|
||||
- No pstore data captured
|
||||
|
||||
### 2026-03-07: pn01 Status
|
||||
|
||||
- pn01 has had **zero crashes** since initial setup on Feb 21
|
||||
- Zero journal corruptions, zero pstore dumps in 30 days
|
||||
- Same BOOT_ID maintained between daily auto-upgrade reboots — consistently clean shutdown/reboot cycles
|
||||
- All 8 reboots in 30 days are planned auto-upgrade reboots
|
||||
- **pn01 is fully stable**
|
||||
|
||||
## Crash Summary
|
||||
|
||||
| Date | Uptime Before Crash | Crash Type | Diagnostic Data |
|
||||
|------|---------------------|------------|-----------------|
|
||||
| Feb 21 | ~1h | Silent freeze | None — sub-NMI |
|
||||
| Feb 22 | ~5.5h | Silent freeze | None — sub-NMI |
|
||||
| Feb 27 | ~2d 21h | Silent freeze | None — sub-NMI, rasdaemon empty |
|
||||
| Mar 4 | ~5.8d | **Kernel oops** | pstore: `set_next_task_scx` (sched_ext) |
|
||||
| Mar 6 | Unknown | Crash | Journal corruption only |
|
||||
| Mar 7 | ~26.6h | **Kernel oops + panic** | pstore: `pick_next_task_fair` (scheduler) + dbus segfault |
|
||||
| Mar 7 | Unknown | Crash | Journal corruption only |
|
||||
|
||||
## Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
**pn02 is unreliable.** After exhausting mitigations (fTPM disabled, BIOS updated, WiFi/BT disabled, ErP disabled, amdgpu blacklisted, processor.max_cstate=1, NMI watchdog, rasdaemon), the unit still crashes every few days. 26 reboots in 30 days (7 unclean crashes + daily auto-upgrade reboots).
|
||||
|
||||
The pstore crash dumps from March reveal a new dimension: at least some crashes are **kernel scheduler bugs in sched_ext**, not just silent hardware-level freezes. The `set_next_task_scx` and `pick_next_task_fair` crash sites, combined with the dbus-daemon segfault before one crash, suggest possible memory corruption that manifests in the scheduler. It's unclear whether this is:
|
||||
1. A sched_ext kernel bug exposed by the PN51's hardware quirks (unstable TSC, C-state behavior)
|
||||
2. Hardware-induced memory corruption that happens to hit scheduler data structures
|
||||
3. A pure software bug in the 6.12.74 kernel's sched_ext implementation
|
||||
|
||||
**pn01 is stable** — zero crashes in 30 days of continuous operation. Both units have identical kernel and NixOS configuration (minus pn02's diagnostic mitigations), so the difference points toward a hardware defect specific to the pn02 board.
|
||||
|
||||
## Next Steps
|
||||
|
||||
- **pn02 memtest**: Run memtest86 for 24h+ (available in systemd-boot menu). The crash signatures (userspace segfaults before kernel panics, corrupted pointers in scheduler structures) are consistent with intermittent RAM errors that a quick pass wouldn't catch. If memtest finds errors, swap the DIMM.
|
||||
- **pn02**: Consider scrapping or repurposing for non-critical workloads that tolerate random reboots (auto-recovery via hardware watchdog is now working)
|
||||
- **pn02 investigation**: Could try disabling sched_ext (`boot.kernelParams = [ "sched_ext.enabled=0" ]` or equivalent) to test whether the crashes stop — would help distinguish kernel bug from hardware defect
|
||||
- **pn01**: Continue monitoring. If it remains stable long-term, it is viable for light workloads
|
||||
- If pn01 eventually crashes, apply the same mitigations (amdgpu blacklist, max_cstate=1) to see if they help
|
||||
- For the Incus hypervisor plan: likely need different hardware. Evaluating GMKtec G3 (Intel) as an alternative. Note: mixed Intel/AMD cluster complicates live migration
|
||||
|
||||
## Diagnostics and Auto-Recovery (pn02)
|
||||
|
||||
Currently deployed on pn02:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
boot.blacklistedKernelModules = [ "amdgpu" ];
|
||||
boot.kernelParams = [ "panic=10" "nmi_watchdog=1" "processor.max_cstate=1" ];
|
||||
boot.kernel.sysctl."kernel.softlockup_panic" = 1;
|
||||
boot.kernel.sysctl."kernel.hardlockup_panic" = 1;
|
||||
hardware.rasdaemon.enable = true;
|
||||
hardware.rasdaemon.record = true;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Crash recovery is working**: pstore now captures kernel oops/panic data, and the system auto-reboots via `panic=10` or SP5100 TCO hardware watchdog.
|
||||
|
||||
**After reboot, check:**
|
||||
- `ras-mc-ctl --summary` — overview of hardware errors
|
||||
- `ras-mc-ctl --errors` — detailed error list
|
||||
- `journalctl -b -1 -p err` — kernel logs from crashed boot (if panic was logged)
|
||||
- pstore data is automatically archived by `systemd-pstore.service` and forwarded to Loki via promtail
