The live host restricted 6443/tcp to specific operator addresses, added by hand, while this role still declared the port open to Anywhere with no source restriction. The declared config was weaker than reality: running the base role would have REMOVED the restriction and exposed the Kubernetes API to the internet. Security was tightened on the host and never fed back into the source of truth. Found 2026-08-11 while diagnosing lost cluster access, which turned out to be an ISP lease rotation (89.244.90.246 -> .236) against a hand-maintained allowlist. Changes: - defaults: k3s_api_allowed_sources (empty = 6443 closed to all external sources, the safe failure; SSH unaffected so the host stays recoverable) and k3s_api_revoked_sources, so rotated addresses are pruned rather than left as standing grants to whoever the ISP reassigns them to - tasks: grant approved sources, then remove any blanket rule, then revoke retired ones. Order matters - grants are added before the blanket rule is deleted so convergence never opens a window with no API access - group_vars/all.yaml: the current operator address, plus the two stale grants (.246 rotated, 85.132.220.102 historic) marked for revocation - docs/verification.md: state that 6443 is source-restricted rather than listing it as a plainly allowed port Not yet converged against the live host - the role change is committed but running it is a production action needing operator approval.

# Base role defaults.

|
|
# Source addresses permitted to reach the k3s API (6443/tcp).

|
#
|
|
# WHY THIS EXISTS
|
|
# ---------------
|
|
# The k3s API was originally opened to Anywhere by this role, and the source
|
|
# restriction was later added by hand on the live host. That left the declared
|
|
# config WEAKER than reality: re-running this role would have removed the
|
|
# restriction and exposed the Kubernetes API to the internet. Found 2026-08-11.
|
|
#
|
|
# The allowlist is therefore declared here and converged, not hand-edited.
|
|
#
|
|
# Deliberately empty by default. A host that sets no sources gets NO public
|
|
# access to 6443 — which is the safe failure. SSH (22) is unaffected, so a host
|
|
# converged with an empty list is always recoverable.
|
|
#
|
|
# Set the real values in inventory/group_vars/all.yaml. Each entry:
|
|
# - address: "203.0.113.10"
|
|
# comment: "k3s-api-operator-workstation"

# Operator addresses rotate (dynamic ISP leases). Without this, every rotation

|
# leaves a standing grant to an address the ISP has since reassigned to someone
|
|
# else. Move an address here when it stops being yours; convergence then prunes
|
|
# it rather than leaving it to accumulate.
