Bart Van Geyt 0ade1c740f Phase 5: backup/DR automation (backup Ansible role) 
Implements the two decoupled backup streams from docs/06 as an idempotent
Ansible role wired into the host playbook:

- Files: sanoid takes/prunes ZFS snapshots per policy (sanoid_datasets) on
  its packaged timer; syncoid replicates offsite (heleos-zfs-offsite),
  enabled only when zfs_offsite_target is set.
- DB: heleos-db-backup (nightly systemd timer) walks the deployments dir and
  dumps each DB-backed site via `docker exec mariadb-dump` into
  db-backups/<customer>/<site>/{daily,weekly,monthly} with rotation
  (automysqlbackup-style, adapted for the containerized DB; MYSQL_PWD keeps
  the password out of the process list). heleos-db-offsite rsyncs offsite
  when db_offsite_target is set.

Streams and schedules are configured in group_vars/all.yml; offsite is
opt-in via the two target vars. Updates doc 06 (implementation note), the
ansible README, and CLAUDE.md status. YAML + templates validated by render.

heleosv2 — Multi-Tenant Web Hosting Platform

A rebuild of a small web-hosting business on modern, isolation-first infrastructure: container-per-customer + ZFS-dataset-per-customer, with repeatable CLI-driven provisioning and clean per-customer backup/restore.

Core philosophy — the customer is the boundary. Isolation (containers), backup (ZFS), and restore all line up on the same boundary, so a compromised or broken site is contained and restorable without touching neighbours.

Status

Phase 0 — writing the design documents before any platform code. See docs/00-roadmap.md.

Repository layout

This monorepo groups four logical areas whose contents have different lifecycles (see docs/07-repo-layout-gitops.md):

Path Purpose
docs/ Architecture, ADRs, runbooks, conventions.
platform-infra/ Ansible + base compose for host, Traefik, MariaDB, Forgejo, monitoring.
site-templates/ Dockerfiles for standard images + compose templates per site profile.
deployments/ Rendered per-customer configs (GitOps state). No plaintext secrets.
control-panel/ Provisioning CLI now; customer-facing panel later.

Key decisions

  • Single bare-metal host, Docker Compose per customer, no orchestrator.
  • Shared MariaDB (per-site DB + least-privilege user).
  • Decoupled backups: web files via ZFS snapshot/send; DB via automysqlbackup + rsync; logs via Loki.
  • Lightweight DevOps: Forgejo + built-in registry + Trivy.
  • CLI-first provisioning; web panel deferred until the platform is proven.

The full approved architecture plan lives at docs/architecture-plan.md.
