JEANNIE(1)

NAME

jeannie - operate the personal homelab control pipeline

SYNOPSIS

./jeannie COMMAND [ARG...]

DESCRIPTION

jeannie is the main homelab operator script. It deploys and checks the Debian control host, Gitea, Raspberry Pi services, Pimox workers, Kubernetes platform components, applications, public edge routing, secrets tooling, and local AI helpers.

Run mutating infrastructure commands from the Debian homelab host. Commands that can destroy or rewrite state have explicit confirmation environment variables. The canonical script name is metadata.main_script in homelab.yml.

COMMANDS

Run ./jeannie help for the short in-terminal command reference. It is grouped in the same order as the pipeline: inventory and planning, bootstrap, cluster lifecycle, reports, observability, recovery, doctors, access, apps, security, AI, and destructive commands.

Core Lifecycle

help: Print the grouped command reference. The same output is shown for -h, --help, or no command.
up: Deploy the full homelab pipeline. Runs early preflight, deploys Gitea and RPi services, runs full preflight and pre-apply doctor checks, then applies Pimox, OpenWrt, cluster, platform, apps, and edge stacks.
plan [all|provisioning|cluster|platform|apps|edge]: Run OpenTofu plans without applying changes. The default target is all.
rebuild-cluster: Back up current local OpenTofu state, destroy cluster state through the guarded nuke path, rebuild Pimox workers, recreate the cluster, and redeploy platform, apps, and edge.
stop-cluster: Stop the Kubernetes control-plane runtime and worker VMs without destroying cluster state.
start-cluster: Start the Kubernetes control-plane runtime and desired worker VMs.
status: Print a cascade health report for the configured homelab, from bootstrap readiness through public website health. Set LAB_STATUS_DETAILS=true to append the older detailed tables. The cascade includes "what broke" signals for recent deployment readiness, pod restarts, node pressure, disk pressure, Traefik 5xx/404 log evidence, and recent Gitea errors.
capacity: Print a compact read-only placement report covering Debian, Kubernetes, Pimox, RPi, and placement signals. Use capacity --details, --json, --only problems, or --verbose for the older full dump.
capacity-advisor: Interpret capacity, resource-budget, and control-plane placement signals to recommend whether to add Pimox VMs, taint Debian, or fix resource definitions first.
capacity-limits [namespace]: Recommend Kubernetes resources.requests and resources.limits YAML snippets for containers missing them. Uses infra/resource-recommendations.yml and does not edit manifests.
recover-plan: Print the ordered disaster recovery checklist and lightweight prerequisite checks for Debian, Gitea, RPi DNS, Pimox, Kubernetes, GitOps apps, and edge verification.
recover-power [--dry-run]: Run the post-outage recovery sequence in dependency order: Debian runtime, Gitea, RPi DNS, Pimox workers, Kubernetes, GitOps/apps, and edge/public checks.
scorecard: Roll up backup readiness, GitOps health, DNS/RPi health, cluster health, edge health, capacity pressure, security posture, public certificates, inventory, and docs freshness into a compact pass/warn/fail report.
Report renderer: Report-oriented commands can share scripts/report-render, which reads status TSV rows and prints compact grouped summaries, detailed output, or JSON. Rows may include separate fix, graph, and query fields for Grafana-backed checks.
gitops-status: Print a focused Argo CD status view with application sync/health, out-of-sync or degraded apps, repository secret presence, recent events, and recent repo-server/application-controller errors.
grafana-dashboards {list|apply}: List or rebuild repo-provisioned Grafana dashboard ConfigMaps from bootstrap/platform/grafana-dashboards.
cert-check: Verify public DNS, TLS certificate expiry, public website/Gitea HTTP status, and DuckDNS-to-OCI edge IP drift from the canonical inventory.
release-snapshot: Write a timestamped pre-change report with Git state, Kubernetes/Argo CD/Helm state, workload images, public URL status, and latest Gitea/OpenTofu backup pointers.
impact [--since REF] [PATH...]: Explain which homelab areas are affected by changed files or explicit paths, including risk, touched services, validation commands, and apply path.
review-last-change [REF]: Summarize a commit, list touched files, run impact analysis, and print generic validation plus rollback hints. Defaults to HEAD.
backup-status: Report freshness for Gitea backups, OpenTofu state backups, restore drill reports, and repo-managed Pi-hole restore inputs. The main status cascade includes this as a warning signal.
synthetic-checks: Run end-to-end probes for Gitea HTTP/SSH, registry API, Pi-hole DNS, Traefik LAN HTTP, and temporary Kubernetes DNS/ingress pods. Registry push/pull is opt-in through LAB_SYNTHETIC_REGISTRY_PUSH=true.
resource-budget: Check the report-only resource policy in infra/resource-budgets.yml against Kubernetes pod requests/limits and Debian disk/memory signals. Use resource-budget --details for the full pod/container list.
control-plane {status|taint|untaint|pods}: Show or manage the Debian Kubernetes control-plane scheduling taint. Use control-plane taint after Pimox workers are stable to keep normal app/data plane pods off the Debian host.
explain <read-only-command> [args...]: Explain warnings, failures, and corrective findings from Jeannie output, including the meaning, diagnostic commands, whether a Jeannie fix command already exists, risk, and auto-fix safety. This command is read-only and refuses mutating commands. Use explain scorecard [--all] for scorecard-specific category explanations, use it directly with helpers such as capacity-advisor, capacity-limits, impact, and review-last-change, or pipe captured output into explain output.
artifact-cache {status|up|down|instructions}: Manage the optional Debian-host artifact cache stack for apt packages and Docker Hub pull-through image caching.
blockchain-devnet {status|up|down|logs|rpc}: Manage the optional local Ethereum Anvil devnet stack under infra/blockchain-devnet. This is for local learning only; never use real seed phrases or mainnet keys.
blockchain-test [forge args...]: Run the Foundry smart contract tests in labs/blockchain. Extra arguments are passed through to forge test.
blockchain-wallet {instructions|new|address|sign-message MESSAGE}: Practice dev wallet generation, address derivation, and message signing with Foundry Cast. Use disposable Anvil/dev keys only.
golden-ledger {show|check}: Show or validate the Pimox golden image version ledger.
route-inventory: Report Kubernetes ingress hosts, paths, backend services, TLS coverage, and visible Uptime Kuma monitor coverage.
workers <command>: Manage Kubernetes/Pimox worker lifecycle operations. Commands include list, start, stop, drain, uncordon, recreate-plan, and rebalance.
change-journal {list|path}: List local journal entries written before risky commands, or print the journal directory path.
map: Print a dependency map from the canonical inventory. Use map --dot for a Graphviz DOT graph.
Prometheus alerts: High-signal alert rules are managed as the apps/homelab-alerts GitOps app. They cover node readiness, restart storms, unavailable deployments, storage pressure, Traefik 5xx, and core service visibility.
NetworkPolicies: Owned application namespaces include egress policies. The website can reach DNS, Redis, and the Debian Ollama endpoint; the security lab can reach DNS and external web targets while remaining isolated from cluster and LAN ranges.
validate: Run non-mutating repository checks used by the GitOps promotion flow: inventory, generated docs, Bash syntax, shellcheck, YAML parsing, OpenTofu formatting, tailnet policy validation, and optional static security checks.
access-audit: Run a read-only access inventory across SSH targets, Git/Gitea remotes, Tailscale ACL validation, Kubernetes RBAC, automation service accounts, and the Gitea runner.
kubeconfig-readonly: Generate a separate local read-only kubeconfig from the repo-managed homelab-access/homelab-readonly ServiceAccount.
nuke: Destroy Kubernetes state and Pimox worker VMs. Requires LAB_CONFIRM_NUKE=homelab.
