Problem: docs-lint (added in the wiki-hq reorg) surfaced 126 broken relative
links that predated this session — a container rename, incident/plan docs
that moved into archive/done subfolders without their inbound links being
updated, and a handful of relative-depth bugs in files nested under
containers/archive/ and plans/done/.
Fixes applied, by category:
- 124-authentik.md -> 106-auth-outpost.md (container was renamed; ~40 refs).
- investigations/{2026-04-21-hubris-crash-loop,2026-05-31-authentik-vps-migration}.md
-> archive/ prefix (both moved to investigations/archive/ previously).
- plans/{2026-06-01-slate-ax-to-sodola-migration,2026-06-04_130000-deprecate-claudio-bot,
2026-06-25-yuvomi-deployment}.md -> plans/done/ prefix.
- Depth bugs in files nested one level deeper than their siblings assumed
(investigations/archive/*, knowledge/wiki/containers/archive/*,
plans/done/*) — corrected relative-path depth.
- Destroyed containers with no surviving page (126-plato) delinked to the
containers/index.md archaeology row instead of a 404.
- ludo-mini.yaml -> strong.yaml (host was renamed, same physical machine).
- netbird-vps.md (no narrative page exists) -> netbird-vps.yaml (substrate
record, matching the existing convention for hosts without a wiki page).
- runbook-dpkg-interrupted.md refs -> .agents/skills/runbook-dpkg-interrupted/SKILL.md
(missed in the phase-4 runbook move because the referencing files used a
bare filename, not a runbooks/ prefix).
- One dangling forward-reference to a never-written investigation delinked
to the actual incident record it was describing.
Left alone: two links in knowledge/wiki/containers/101-jellyfin.md into
devops/homelab-authentik-admin/ — an intentional reference to a sibling repo,
not present in this checkout.
Verification: broken-link count 126 -> 2 (real remainder is the cross-repo
reference above); gen-topology.py --check still exit 0; build_host_files.py
still idempotent; all inventory.yaml doc_page targets still resolve.

107 — dns
Homelab DNS server (Technitium). Replaces the dnsmasq that lived on 124 — authentik; single-purpose, one job.
At a glance
- Hostname:
dns - IP:
192.168.8.2(static — stable, decoupled from any app) - Privilege: privileged (Docker-in-LXC,
features: nesting=1) - Resources: 1 core / 1 GiB / 8 GiB rootfs
- Created: 2026-06-01, Debian 13. Its own resolver is
1.1.1.1(no circular dependency on the DNS it serves).
Role
Authoritative split-horizon DNS for hubris.network on the LAN/mesh, plus recursive forwarding (1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8) for everything else. Technitium runs in Docker (technitium/dns-server:latest, network_mode: host), web console on :5380.
The hubris.network zone
- Specific A overrides: app names →
192.168.8.175(Caddy),nfs-export → 192.168.8.200,auth/sso/...as needed. auth.hubris.network → 82.165.190.79(VPS Authentik),sso.hubris.network → 192.168.8.175(LAN forward-auth outpost).- Wildcard
*.hubris.network → 82.165.190.79— mirrors the public IONOS wildcard so undefined names (e.g.netbird) resolve to the VPS, matching public behaviour. - MX / SPF-TXT / CAA replicated from public so an authoritative zone doesn't shadow
hubris.networkemail/cert records.
Config / access
/opt/technitium/docker-compose.yml; admin password in/opt/technitium/admin_password.txt(mode 600 — sops-encrypt in Phase 5).- Console:
http://192.168.8.2:5380(useradmin). - API:
http://192.168.8.2:5380/api/...(token via/api/user/login). Zone was built via the API.
Who points here
- NetBird mesh peers: resolve via the NetBird managed DNS zone, kept in sync from this Technitium (see dns-sync below). The
home-lab-dnsnameserver group (→ 192.168.8.2) is a thin fallback forwarder. - Homelab DHCP clients: Technitium's own DHCP scope hands out
192.168.8.2as the DNS server for192.168.8.xleases (see DHCP section below). - Plain LAN clients (
192.168.178.x): Fritz!Box DHCP still hands out Fritz!Box itself (192.168.178.1) as DNS — no split-horizon for non-mesh clients. Changing this requires a secondary DNS fallback, which Fritz!OS 8.x doesn't expose in a single DHCP field.
dns-sync (Technitium = authoring source)
/opt/dns-sync/sync.py (cron */10, logs /var/log/dns-sync.log) reconciles this zone's named A-records → the NetBird managed DNS zone via the NetBird API (/api/dns/zones/{id}/records). Token at /opt/dns-sync/netbird-token (mode 600; source of truth in sops secrets/netbird-pat.yaml). Edit DNS only here; the sync propagates to the mesh. It deletes NetBird records absent from Technitium. Tracked: scripts/dns-sync.py. Why this exists: NetBird won't forward to Technitium for mesh peers (self-IP / nameserver-group quirks), so we sync into the managed zone instead — see dns.md.
DHCP
Technitium also runs a DHCP server for the homelab subnet (enabled 2026-06-02):
- Scope:
homelab—192.168.8.241 – 192.168.8.254 - Gateway:
192.168.8.1(Proxmoxvmbr0alias) - DNS:
192.168.8.2(self) - Lease time: 24 h
Replaces the DHCP that was previously served by the Slate AX router. Static-IP LXCs (.101–.239) are excluded from the pool. Pool narrowed from .100–.240 to .241–.254 on 2026-06-03 to eliminate IP conflict risk.

Changelog
2026-06-24 — A record trmnl.hubris.network → 192.168.8.175
Added for trmnl (128) (LAN path via Caddy (121)); propagated to the NetBird managed zone by dns-sync.
2026-06-06 — dns-sync cron installed (had been missing since deployment)
Although the 2026-06-03 changelog claimed "cron */10", no crontab was actually configured on the LXC. The sync was running only via ad-hoc manual invocations during incident debugging. Fixed by adding /etc/cron.d/dns-sync.
2026-06-03 — DHCP pool narrowed to .241–.254
Previous pool .100–.240 overlapped with all static LXCs/VMs (.101–.239). Shrunk via API (/api/dhcp/scopes/set). 11 stale DHCP leases in .101–.110 remain until natural expiry (2026-06-04). See plan.
2026-06-03 — dns-sync added (Technitium → NetBird managed zone)
This Technitium became the single DNS authoring source; /opt/dns-sync/sync.py (cron */10) reconciles named A-records into the NetBird managed zone via the API. Fixed previously-broken mesh names (sso, nfs-export, mcp, secrets) by adding them to the managed zone; reaped obsolete files/photos-new. See dns.md.
2026-06-02 — DHCP server enabled; replaces Slate AX DHCP
Enabled Technitium's built-in DHCP server for 192.168.8.0/24 (scope homelab, range .100–.240, gateway 192.168.8.1, DNS self). Previously the Slate AX sub-router served DHCP for the homelab subnet. With the Slate AX retired and Proxmox now the subnet router, Technitium takes over DHCP. Configured via the Technitium API (/api/dhcp/scopes/set). DHCP LXCs kept their Slate AX leases until expiry, then renewed from Technitium.
2026-06-01 — created; replaced dnsmasq on 124
Stood up Technitium at 192.168.8.2, imported the split-horizon zone (specific A + wildcard + MX/SPF/CAA), made it the primary nameserver in the NetBird home-lab-dns group. Verified all names resolve with dnsmasq/124 stopped; LXC 124 retired.
