# Storage Remediation Playbooks Summary

**Created**: 2026-02-08
**Status**: Ready for deployment

---

## Overview

Four Ansible playbooks have been created to remediate critical storage issues identified in the Proxmox cluster storage audit.

---

## Playbooks Created

### 1. `remediate-storage-critical-issues.yml`

**Location**: `playbooks/remediate-storage-critical-issues.yml`

**Purpose**: Address immediate critical and high-priority issues

**Targets**:
- proxmox-00 (root filesystem at 84.5%)
- proxmox-01 (dlx-docker at 81.1%)
- All nodes (SonarQube, stopped containers audit)

**Actions**:
- Compress journal logs (>30 days)
- Remove old syslog files (>90 days)
- Clean apt cache and temp files
- Prune Docker images, volumes, and build cache
- Audit SonarQube disk usage
- Report on stopped containers

**Expected space freed**:
- proxmox-00: 10-15 GB
- proxmox-01: 20-50 GB
- Total: 30-65 GB

**Execution time**: 5-10 minutes

---

### 2. `remediate-docker-storage.yml`

**Location**: `playbooks/remediate-docker-storage.yml`

**Purpose**: Detailed Docker storage cleanup for proxmox-01

**Targets**:
- proxmox-01 (Docker host)
- dlx-docker LXC container

**Actions**:
- Analyze container and image sizes
- Identify dangling resources
- Remove unused images, volumes, and build cache
- Run aggressive system prune (`docker system prune -a -f --volumes`)
- Configure automated weekly cleanup
- Setup hourly monitoring with alerting
- Create log rotation policies

**Expected space freed**:
- 50-150 GB depending on usage patterns

**Automated maintenance**:
- Weekly: `docker system prune -af --volumes`
- Hourly: Capacity monitoring and alerting
- Daily: Log rotation with 7-day retention

**Execution time**: 10-15 minutes

---

### 3. `remediate-stopped-containers.yml`

**Location**: `playbooks/remediate-stopped-containers.yml`

**Purpose**: Safely remove unused LXC containers

**Targets**:
- All Proxmox hosts
- 15 stopped containers (1.2 TB allocated)

**Actions**:
- Audit all containers and identify stopped ones
- Generate size/allocation report
- Create configuration backups before removal
- Safely remove containers (dry-run by default)
- Provide recovery guide and instructions
- Verify space freed

**Containers targeted for removal** (recommendations):
- dlx-mysql-02 (108): 200 GB
- dlx-mysql-03 (109): 200 GB
- dlx-mattermost (107): 32 GB
- dlx-nocodb (116): 100 GB
- dlx-swarm-01/02/03: 195 GB combined
- dlx-kube-01/02/03: 150 GB combined

**Total recoverable**: 877+ GB

**Safety features**:
- Dry-run mode by default (`dry_run: true`)
- Config backups created before deletion
- Recovery instructions provided
- Containers listed for manual approval

**Execution time**: 2-5 minutes

---

### 4. `configure-storage-monitoring.yml`

**Location**: `playbooks/configure-storage-monitoring.yml`

**Purpose**: Set up proactive storage monitoring and alerting

**Targets**:
- All Proxmox hosts (proxmox-00, 01, 02)

**Actions**:
- Create monitoring scripts:
  - `/usr/local/bin/storage-monitoring/check-capacity.sh` - Filesystem monitoring
  - `/usr/local/bin/storage-monitoring/check-docker.sh` - Docker storage
  - `/usr/local/bin/storage-monitoring/check-containers.sh` - Container allocation
  - `/usr/local/bin/storage-monitoring/cluster-status.sh` - Dashboard view
  - `/usr/local/bin/storage-monitoring/prometheus-metrics.sh` - Metrics export

- Configure cron jobs:
  - Every 5 min: Filesystem capacity checks
  - Every 10 min: Docker storage checks
  - Every 4 hours: Container allocation audit

- Set alert thresholds:
  - 75%: ALERT (notice level)
  - 85%: WARNING (warning level)
  - 95%: CRITICAL (critical level)

- Integrate with syslog:
  - Logs to `/var/log/storage-monitor.log`
  - Syslog integration for alerting
  - Log rotation configured (14-day retention)

- Optional Prometheus integration:
  - Metrics export script for Grafana/Prometheus
  - Standard format for monitoring tools

**Execution time**: 5 minutes

## Execution Guide

### Quick Start

```bash
# Test all playbooks (safe, shows what would be done)
ansible-playbook playbooks/remediate-storage-critical-issues.yml --check
ansible-playbook playbooks/remediate-docker-storage.yml --check
ansible-playbook playbooks/remediate-stopped-containers.yml --check
ansible-playbook playbooks/configure-storage-monitoring.yml --check
```

### Recommended Execution Order

#### Day 1: Critical Fixes
```bash
# 1. Deploy monitoring first (non-destructive)
ansible-playbook playbooks/configure-storage-monitoring.yml -l proxmox

# 2. Fix proxmox-00 root filesystem (CRITICAL)
ansible-playbook playbooks/remediate-storage-critical-issues.yml -l proxmox-00

# 3. Fix proxmox-01 Docker storage (HIGH)
ansible-playbook playbooks/remediate-docker-storage.yml -l proxmox-01

# Expected time: 30 minutes
# Expected space freed: 30-65 GB
```

#### Day 2-3: Verify & Monitor
```bash
# Verify fixes are working
/usr/local/bin/storage-monitoring/cluster-status.sh

# Monitor alerts
tail -f /var/log/storage-monitor.log

# Check for issues (48 hours)
ansible proxmox -m shell -a "df -h /" -u dlxadmin
```

#### Day 4+: Container Cleanup (Optional)
```bash
# After confirming stability, remove unused containers
ansible-playbook playbooks/remediate-stopped-containers.yml \
  --check  # Verify first

# Execute removal (dry_run=false)
ansible-playbook playbooks/remediate-stopped-containers.yml \
  -e dry_run=false

# Expected space freed: 877+ GB
# Execution time: 2-5 minutes
```
