-# `backup_source`
-
-Makes a host back **itself** up: dump to stdout, encrypt with `age`, write to a
-local directory, prune, on a systemd timer. `small-backups-box` pulls the
-directory later (see `backup_store`).
-
-Modelled on `prd-arbret`, which has been doing exactly this correctly since
-before the rest of the estate was migrated.
-
-## Usage
-
-```yaml
-- ansible.builtin.include_role:
-    name: backup_source
-  vars:
-    backup_source_name: headscale
-    backup_source_description: "Headscale"
-    backup_source_dump_command: "tar -czf - -C / var/lib/headscale etc/headscale"
-    backup_source_stop_service: headscale
-    backup_source_retention_days: 7
-```
-
-Produces `/opt/backups/headscale/headscale_<YYYYmmdd_HHMMSS>.tar.gz.age`,
-`headscale-backup.{service,timer}`, and `/usr/local/bin/headscale-backup.sh`.
-
-## Why the source encrypts, not the destination
-
-`age -r <recipient>` is asymmetric and the host holds only the **public** key, so
-a compromised host cannot read its own backups — or anyone else's. The scripts
-this replaces encrypted with GPG *on the laptop, after the data had already
-crossed the network*, which protects the artefact at rest but not in transit.
-
-The matching identity lives only on lapy and is escrowed. **Lose it and every
-artefact everywhere becomes noise**, including arbret's.
-
-## `backup_source_dump_command` writes to STDOUT
-
-The role pipes it into `age`, so plaintext never touches the disk. Use `-C /`
-with relative paths in `tar` rather than absolute ones: it avoids tar's "removing
-leading /" and makes the restore target explicit.
-
-## Services that are not systemd
-
-`backup_source_stop_service` runs `systemctl stop/start`. For anything else,
-give the pair explicitly — vaultwarden is a docker compose stack, so
-`systemctl stop vaultwarden` silently does nothing:
-
-```yaml
-backup_source_stop_command:  "docker compose -f /opt/vaultwarden/docker-compose.yml stop"
-backup_source_start_command: "docker compose -f /opt/vaultwarden/docker-compose.yml start"
-```
-
-The same EXIT trap wraps both forms. The assert refuses a stop command without a
-matching start command, because that combination fails in the one way you would
-not notice: the service stops and never comes back.
-
-## More than one thing to back up
-
-`tar` takes several paths, so multiple files or directories are normally **one**
-artefact — headscale captures `/var/lib/headscale` and `/etc/headscale` together,
-lnbits captures its data directory and its `.env`.
-
-Prefer one artefact. A backup should be a consistent snapshot, and two artefacts
-written by two runs can drift — you can end up restoring an `.env` that does not
-match the database it configures. Pulling a single file back out needs no
-unpacking:
-
-```bash
-age -d -i <identity> <artefact> | tar -xzO opt/lnbits/lnbits/.env
-```
-
-If you genuinely need separate artefacts, call the role twice with different
-`backup_source_name`s rather than extending it — but only one call may set
-`backup_source_stop_service`, or the service is stopped twice per night.
-
-The case this shape cannot express is a **database dump plus a file tree**
-(`pg_dump` and a media directory, say): you cannot merge those into one stream
-without staging plaintext on disk, which is exactly what this design avoids.
-None of the current services need it — all are file trees, all stopped for the
-dump. A future one that does should use two role calls.
-
-## Everything here is sqlite, so everything stops
-
-All five services are sqlite-backed, several in WAL mode (`-wal`/`-shm` files
-present). A live copy of a WAL-mode database can be torn or stale, so each is
-stopped for the duration. Measured downtime: under a second for headscale and
-memos, ~6 s vaultwarden, ~11 s lnbits, and **2m36s for forgejo** — 2.7 G of repos
-and database. That last one is the real cost of a consistent snapshot; if it
-becomes unacceptable the answer is `sqlite3 .backup` plus an online repo copy,
-not skipping the stop.
-
-## The trap is the reason this role exists
-
-When `backup_source_stop_service` is set, the script stops the unit and installs
-an EXIT trap that starts it again. Without it, a failed dump leaves the service
-down until the next timer fires — **every hand-written script this replaced had
-that bug**, and it was only ever masked because their `systemctl stop` failed
-first, before anything was stopped.
-
-Verified on spacey: with the dump forced to fail, the log shows
-`Stopping → Writing → Restarting`, the script exits 1 (so systemd marks the unit
-failed rather than hiding it), and headscale is `active` afterwards.
-
-If `systemctl stop` itself fails, `set -e` exits *before* the trap is installed —
-which is correct, because nothing was stopped.
-
-## `.partial`
-
-The dump writes `<artifact>.partial` and only `mv`s it into place on success, so
-a truncated file is never mistaken for a backup. A failure inside the pipeline
-does leave one behind, and the prune glob cannot match it (it ends `.partial`,
-not `.tar.gz.age`), so the script clears stale partials at the **start** of each
-run. Tested by failing mid-pipeline: 1 partial left, 0 after the next run.
-
-## `backup_source_stop_service` may be a bare name
-
-`headscale` and `headscale.service` both work. The unit template normalises it,
-because systemd rejects a bare name in `After=` with
-`Failed to add dependency ... Invalid argument` — which it logs and then ignores,
-so the unit appears to work while carrying no ordering at all.
-
-## Retention is two-tier
-
-`backup_source_retention_days` is **local** and short — these hosts are
-disk-constrained. The long tail lives on `small-backups-box`, which decides its
-own retention per source. Losing the local copy is expected and fine.

-# `backup_store`
-
-Pulls already-encrypted backup artefacts from every source host onto
-`small-backups-box`, on a timer, and expires them per source.
-
-Generalises the hand-written `pull-backups.sh` that had one hardcoded source
-(`arbret`). That job's behaviour is preserved exactly: same source path, same
-90 days, same destination directory.
-
-## This host holds no key
-
-Everything pulled here is ciphertext produced by `backup_source` on the source
-host. The box cannot read any of it — the age identity lives only on lapy. That
-is deliberate: the machine holding every backup should not also be able to open
-them.
-
-## One failing source must not stop the others
-
-The script is `set -uo pipefail`, **not** `-e`. Each source runs in its own
-function, failures are counted, and the script exits non-zero at the end so
-systemd marks the unit failed. A dead host costs you that one source, not the
-whole run.
-
-This is the specific failure the whole plan exists to prevent: the laptop jobs
-aborted on first error and then silently produced empty directories for nine
-months.
-
-## Trust points one way
-
-The box authenticates with `~/.ssh/id_pull` to an unprivileged, dedicated
-account on each source (`backup-pull`, or `arbret` on prd-arbret), authorised
-with `restrict`. That account can read one directory and do nothing else — no
-sudo, no pty, no forwarding. A compromised backup box cannot reach into
-production.
-
-## Addressing: names, never IPs
-
-Sources are addressed by name. The job this replaced hardcoded spacey's IP; the
-droplet was later rebuilt, the address was recycled to a stranger, and the
-backup failed silently from 2025-12-01 while the directory listing still looked
-healthy.
-
-Two kinds of name are in play:
-
-- **Tailnet members** (vipy, memos-box, …) → MagicDNS names. These require a
-  headscale ACL grant from `tag:small-backups-box` to the source's `:22`; without
-  it the box cannot even resolve the peer, let alone reach it.
-- **spacey** is *not* a tailnet member — it is the headscale control server — so
-  its backup is pulled over the public internet via `headscale.contrapeso.xyz`,
-  which follows the host if the droplet is rebuilt.
-
-## Retention here is the long tail
-
-Sources keep a few days locally; this box keeps 90 (or whatever the source entry
-says). Losing the source's local copy is expected.
