kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Opus 5 c2d737d609 fix(hlth-volumes): probe the NFS port the server actually serves
The reachability check called showmount, which speaks the MOUNT protocol. The ganesha export sets NFS_CORE_PARAM Protocols = 4 and Enable_NLM = false, and every EXPORT block repeats Protocols = 4, so MOUNT is never registered and showmount cannot succeed against a healthy server. The repo already records this elsewhere: scripts/tests/deploy/swarm/utils/collect/diagnostics.sh:125 prints "showmount -e failed; NFSv4-only servers do not answer MOUNT".

Every failure fed status, and a nonzero exit reaches OnFailure, which starts sys-ctl-cln-anon-volumes (dockreap --no-confirmation). So on any host holding both anonymous and NFS volumes the check has been failing on every run and reaping volumes for a reason that was never true. Probing tcp/2049 is what the role does for its own readiness gate in files/nfs-ganesha-restart.conf:9, and it is correct for the kernel flavor too.

The two tests drive a whitelisted anonymous volume so the anonymous section contributes nothing and the exit status reflects only the NFS check. One asserts a listening port passes, the other that a refused one fails; the first is the regression guard, the second keeps the check from being one that always fails.

Docker Volumes Health Check

Description

This role detects unused anonymous Docker volumes that are not bound to any running container.
It can optionally exclude specific volumes from the check using a configurable whitelist.

Overview

The role installs a script and a systemd service with a timer to periodically scan for leftover anonymous volumes.
This helps prevent wasted disk space and leftover resources from old deployments.

Cosmos

The diagram places Docker Volumes Health Check in the Infinito.Nexus cosmos: the components it deploys (capabilities), the central services it consumes (dependencies), and its outward reach (federation and bridged external networks).

Solid 1:1 edges are fixed relationships; dashed 0..1 edges are conditional (enabled only in matching deployments); red 0..0 edges are turned off in this role. Node markers show the role's deploy modes (💻 host, 🐳 compose, 🐝 swarm); ❌ marks a service that is explicitly turned off, and ⚙️ an Ansible role dependency declared in meta/main.yml.

Purpose

The main purpose of this role is to keep Docker environments clean by identifying and reporting orphaned anonymous volumes.
It supports a whitelist mechanism to avoid alerting on known or intentional volumes.

Features

  • Anonymous Volume Detection: Identifies volumes with 64-character IDs not attached to any container.
  • Whitelist Support: Skips volumes listed in DOCKER_WHITELISTET_ANON_VOLUMES.
  • Bootstrap Volume Exclusion: Ignores known bootstrap volumes (e.g., /var/www/bootstrap).
  • Systemd Integration: Installs a one-shot service and timer to automate checks.
  • Alerting Support: Works with the sys-ctl-alm-compose role for failure notifications.
