DNS single-source Phase 1 + decommission Tailscale fleet-wide
Phase 1 of the DNS-redundancy cleanup (keep NetBird, collapse toward one zone) — the safe, mesh-independent half: - Every homelab LXC now resolves via Technitium (192.168.8.2). Fixed 8 boxes on a dead resolver (.180), the router (.1), or Tailscale MagicDNS (100.100.100.100): 101,102,104,105,106,114,119,126. - Removed the redundant /etc/hosts auth/mcp/secrets overrides (Technitium returns identical-or-better answers); disabled hubris-hosts-override. - Net effect: on-prem DNS (LXCs + household via Fritz!Box->Technitium) is now NetBird-independent, so dropping the managed zone later can't break on-LAN resolution. Phases 2-4 still pending. Tailscale decommissioned (was legacy/being-phased-out): - Removed from the 6 LXCs still running it (101,103,104,105,114,119): logout, disable tailscaled, apt purge, state cleared. - inventory.yaml: dropped tailscale from accepted + all mesh blocks; regenerated hosts/*.yaml (also pruned orphan authentik/claudio-bot). - Tightened secrets-issuance MESH_SUBNETS: removed the now-vestigial Tailscale CGNAT range 100.64.0.0/10. - Updated narrative docs (mesh, dns, network, README, AGENTS, agent-enrollment, homelab-context, 105-apps, 107-dns). Live infra changed on the fleet + Mac; this commit records the docs/inventory. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

- **LAN authoritative for `hubris.network` records:** [Technitium DNS](https://technitium.com) on [dns (107)](../containers/107-dns.md) at `192.168.8.2:53`. Syncs A records to the NetBird managed DNS zone via cron (see [dns-sync.py](../scripts/dns-sync.py)). Formerly dnsmasq on [authentik (124)](../containers/124-authentik.md) (decommissioned 2026-06-04).
|

- **PVE host** (`192.168.8.77`): resolver is the local Netbird daemon at `100.122.38.109:53`, which forwards to the LAN/upstream and learns hubris.network answers via that path. `netbird status` says "Nameservers: 0/0 Available" — confirming netbird does NOT manage a hubris.network zone; it just caches whatever the system resolver returns.
|

- **Some LXCs** keep router DNS (`192.168.8.1`) or Tailscale MagicDNS (`100.100.100.100`), both of which return the public IONOS A record. Those LXCs need either a `/etc/hosts` override or local dnsmasq — see [mesh migration](mesh.md) for which technique applies where.
|
||||
- **All LXCs** now point at Technitium (`192.168.8.2`) directly (since 2026-06-21 — see changelog). The earlier mix of router DNS (`192.168.8.1`) / Tailscale MagicDNS (`100.100.100.100`) — which returned the public IONOS A record and forced `/etc/hosts` overrides — has been removed.

### 2026-06-21 — DNS single-source, Phase 1: on-prem LXCs decoupled from NetBird
|
||||
Goal: collapse the three overlapping DNS sources (Technitium + NetBird managed zone + per-LXC band-aids) toward **one zone**, keeping NetBird. Phase 1 (the safe, mesh-independent half) is done:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Every homelab LXC now resolves via Technitium (`192.168.8.2`).** Fixed 8 boxes that were on a dead resolver, the router, or Tailscale MagicDNS:
|
||||
- `192.168.8.180` (dead ex-Authentik): 102, 106, 126
|
||||
- `192.168.8.1` (router → public answer): 101
|
||||
- `100.100.100.100` (Tailscale MagicDNS): 104, 105, 114, 119 — also ran `tailscale set --accept-dns=false` so `tailscaled` stops rewriting `/etc/resolv.conf`.
|
||||
- Already correct (`.2`): 103, 118, 120, 121, 122. CT 107 stays on `1.1.1.1` by design (no self-dependency).
|
||||
- **Removed the redundant `/etc/hosts` band-aids** (`auth`/`mcp`/`secrets` → `192.168.8.175`) on 101, 103, 104, 105, 114, 118, 120, 121, 122, 126; disabled `hubris-hosts-override.service` where enabled. Backups at `/etc/hosts.bak-dnsplan`. PVE-managed lines and self-hostname maps preserved. Technitium already returns identical-or-better answers (verified: `auth → 82.165.190.79`, `mcp`/`secrets`/`cloud`/`git` → `192.168.8.175`).
|
||||
- **Nextcloud (114):** its documented Guzzle-workaround dnsmasq is not running; resolves correctly straight from Technitium, so no special-casing remains.
|
||||
- Net effect: **NetBird's DNS now only matters for off-LAN roaming peers** (Tier 2). On-prem (LXCs + household via Fritz!Box→Technitium) is fully NetBird-independent — so dropping the managed zone later can no longer break on-LAN resolution. Phases 2–4 (mesh-IP forwarding, roaming test, managed-zone + sync deletion) still pending.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2026-06-17 — Fritz!Box DNSv4 server set to Technitium; old limitation resolved
|
||||
Household LAN clients (192.168.178.x) now resolve `*.hubris.network` to LAN IPs — the limitation noted below is resolved. Configured at Fritz!Box Internet → Filter → DNS Server → DNSv4 Server = `192.168.8.2` (User-defined).
|
||||
Authentik LXC 124 (192.168.8.180) destroyed — Authentik runs on VPS, DNS on Technitium (107).
