/metrics?model=Qwen3.6 forces the router to attempt loading Qwen3.6 every
90s scrape cycle, triggering a CUDA OOM error since VRAM is already consumed
by the resident Llama3+Phi3.5 models. This produces real GPU power spikes
(~110W load-attempt), not a benign counter read like the Llama3/Phi3.5 jobs.
nvidia_gpu_exporter (:9835) already provides GPU power/VRAM/utilization at
zero wake cost. No Grafana dashboard panel references Qwen3.6 model-specific
llama-server metrics. Ryan approved full removal.
Job is commented out (not deleted) for easy revert if Qwen3.6 is ever
re-added as a resident model. Llama3/Phi3.5 scrape jobs untouched.
Each /metrics?model=<id> request on the llama.cpp router wakes the GPU
sub-server to P2 (~110W). At 15s with two active jobs (llama3 + phi35),
combined scrape frequency (~7-8s effective) keeps the GPU continuously at
P2 despite zero real inference requests.
At 90s: each scrape wakes GPU for ~5-10s then it drops to P8 (~20W) for
~80s. Verified via iptables block test on 2026-08-13 (t_e7d547ea):
Before block: 110-115W P2 continuously
After block: 19-21W P8 consistently
After unblock: returned to 110W P2 within seconds
qwen3 interval also set to 90s (model not loaded so moot, but consistent).

Port 8000 (gemma-2-27b-it-GGUF) is dead after the day2 router cutover on
2026-08-12. Production inference now runs through llama-server-router on
port 8002.
The router exposes per-model Prometheus metrics via /metrics?model=<id>.
Since a single /metrics request without ?model returns HTTP 400, replaced
the single stale job with three per-model jobs — one per model registered
in the router per /v1/models:
- Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-UD-Q4_K_S (currently unloaded but registered)
- Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-Q4_K_M (loaded)
- Phi-3.5-mini-instruct-Q8_0 (loaded)
Static 'model' label carries the canonical llama.cpp model id (not alias).
Added 'endpoint: astro-orbiter-router' to identify the scrape origin.
Removed dead :8000 target entirely.
- Prometheus scrape configs for node/gpu/llama-server exporters on
astro-orbiter now declared in cluster/applications/monitoring/values.yaml
(additionalScrapeConfigs), applied via ArgoCD sync instead of an
imperative kubectl secret patch from the Ansible role.
- Grafana dashboard for astro-orbiter LLM inference added as a ConfigMap
in cluster/applications/monitoring/dashboards.yaml (grafana_dashboard=1
sidecar label), replacing the role's ad-hoc kubectl apply of a rendered
Jinja template.
- ansible/roles/llm-inference/tasks/monitoring.yml: removed the kubectl
get/patch/apply tasks and orphaned grafana-llm-dashboard.json.j2
template; role now only stands up node_exporter + nvidia_gpu_exporter
and verifies they're reachable — cluster-facing config lives in Git.
- host_vars/vars.yml + inventory.yml: finalize astro-orbiter as the
llama.cpp/RTX 3090 host (jarvis user, ssh key), drop stale Ollama/AMD
vars and ollama_server inventory group superseded by the ATX rebuild.
- Stable udev device symlinks (/dev/jmri/nce, /dev/jmri/loconet, /dev/jmri/lcc)
- jmri-monitor: polls Leviton Decora Smart switch to start/stop JMRI automatically

- 30s off-delay before shutdown
- LCRR config cloned from Gitea (ssh://gitea.mk-labs.cloud:2221/rblundon/LCRR.git)
- ~/.jmri symlinked to LCRR repo for GitOps config management
- jmri-gui: X11 remote GUI access (PanelPro/DecoderPro) via ssh -X as jmri user

Cloudflare A record + SRV for journey-into-imagination.mk-labs.cloud
Fixes 413 Entity Too Large error in Obsidian LiveSync sync operations.
Applies to both internal (communicore.local) and public (communicore.mk-labs.cloud) ingress routes.
- Deploy Portworx Operator + CSI driver via ArgoCD
- Support both iSCSI block and NFS file storage from FlashArray
- Integrate with 1Password External Secrets for FlashArray credentials
- Include comprehensive deployment documentation and validation script
- Storage classes: pure-block (iSCSI) and pure-file (NFS)
- Talos Linux compatible with iSCSI/multipath configuration
- Production gateway on astro-orbiter VM working correctly
- K8s deployment ready but cannot complete Signal registration
- Signal servers reject WebSocket connections from K8s cluster network path
- Document migration procedure for when astro-orbiter is decommissioned
- Remove --account flag to let signal-cli auto-detect registered accounts
- Multi-account mode will find the registered +126****8840 account automatically
- Use bbernhard/signal-cli-rest-api:latest (known working image)
- Override command to run /usr/bin/signal-cli directly in daemon HTTP mode
- Bypasses REST API wrapper to expose native JSON-RPC endpoint at /api/v1/rpc
- Switch from non-existent GitLab registry image to official asamk/signal-cli:v0.14.5
- Maintain data path at /home/.local/share/signal-cli (where data was copied from astro-orbiter)
- Remove unnecessary command override, let entrypoint handle signal-cli execution
- Replace bbernhard/signal-cli-rest-api wrapper with native signal-cli 0.14.5
- Run signal-cli daemon in HTTP mode matching astro-orbiter working config
- Expose JSON-RPC API at /api/v1/rpc for Hermes gateway compatibility
- Switch health probes from HTTP /v1/health to TCP port check
- Maintain existing PVC mount path /home/.local/share/signal-cli
This fixes the missing /api/v1/rpc endpoint that Hermes requires for
Signal message delivery.
- Move manifests from cluster/platform/connections to cluster/applications/signal-cli
- Add Ingress for connections.local.mk-labs.cloud with cert-manager TLS
- Update ArgoCD application path to cluster/applications/signal-cli
- Configure letsencrypt-prod cluster issuer for automatic TLS certificates
This enables external HTTPS access to the Signal CLI REST API for Hermes
notifications with automatic certificate management.
Deployment name: connections → signal-cli-rest-api (what it IS)
Service name: connections (unchanged - Epcot-themed role)
Updated labels throughout deployment and service selector to match.
