Establish the design foundation for the heleosv2 multi-tenant hosting platform before any implementation code: - Monorepo skeleton: docs/, platform-infra/, site-templates/, deployments/, control-panel/ with orientation READMEs. - docs/: roadmap index, architecture + threat model, naming conventions, site profiles, provisioning workflow, backup & DR runbook, repo/GitOps layout, and the approved architecture plan. - docs/adr/: 9 ADRs recording the rationale for single-host Compose, Traefik edge, nginx+fpm split, shared MariaDB, ZFS-per-customer, decoupled backup streams, Forgejo, CLI-first, and SFTP-only. - Secrets hygiene: .gitignore (only *.enc.* committed) and .gitattributes (LF for scripts/Dockerfiles/YAML run on the Linux host).

# ADR 0005 — ZFS dataset per customer
|
|
|
|
**Status:** Accepted
|
|
|
|
## Context
|
|
Backups must be cheap, integrity-checked, and restorable per customer without
|
|
touching neighbours. ZFS offers checksummed integrity, cheap copy-on-write
|
|
snapshots, and incremental `zfs send`.
|
|
|
|
## Decision
|
|
Create a **ZFS dataset per customer** (`tank/customers/<customer>/web`) holding
|
|
**only the web root**. Docker image/layer storage and the MariaDB datadir live
|
|
on separate platform datasets. Customer web data is bind-mounted into containers
|
|
from the customer dataset.
|
|
|
|
## Consequences
|
|
- ✅ Snapshot and `zfs send` operate at the customer granularity — restore one
|
|
customer independently.
|
|
- ✅ Data integrity via checksums; cheap frequent snapshots.
|
|
- ✅ Keeping the dataset to web files **only** (no logs, no DB dumps) means an
|
|
unchanged site produces a near-empty incremental, keeping offsite `send` cheap
|
|
— the explicit reason logs and DB dumps are stored elsewhere
|
|
([ADR 0006](0006-decoupled-backup-streams.md)).
|
|
- ❌ Ties the platform to a ZFS-capable host (OpenZFS on Linux); not portable to
|
|
arbitrary cloud block storage without rework.
