💾 COMPLETE STORAGE ARCHITECTURE

Storage Capacity & Distribution

Primary Storage - OMV800 (19TB+)

Storage Role: Primary file server, media library, photo storage
Technology: Unknown RAID configuration
Mount Points:
├── /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-*/ → Main storage array
├── /mnt/immich_data/ → Photo storage (3TB+ estimated)
├── /var/lib/docker/volumes/ → Container data
└── /home/ → User data and configurations

NFS Exports:
- /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-*/shared → Network shared storage
- /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-*/media → Media library for Jellyfin

Backup Storage - raspberrypi (7.3TB RAID-1)

Storage Role: Redundant backup for all critical data
Technology: RAID-1 mirroring for reliability
Mount Points:
├── /export/omv800_backup → OMV800 critical data backup
├── /export/surface_backup → Development data backup  
├── /export/fedora_backup → Workstation backup
├── /export/audrey_backup → Monitoring configuration backup
└── /export/jonathan_backup → Home automation backup

Access Methods:
- NFS Server: 192.168.50.107:2049
- SMB/CIFS: 192.168.50.107:445
- Direct SSH: dietpi@192.168.50.107

Development Storage - fedora (476GB SSD)

Storage Role: Development environment and local caching
Technology: Single SSD, no redundancy
Partition Layout:
├── /dev/sda1 → 500MB EFI boot
├── /dev/sda2 → 226GB additional partition
├── /dev/sda5 → 1GB /boot
└── /dev/sda6 → 249GB root filesystem (67% used)

Optimization Opportunity:
- 226GB partition unused (potential for container workloads)
- Only 1 Docker container despite 16GB RAM

Container Security Analysis

Security Best Practices Status

# Good Security Practices Found
✅ Non-root container users (nodejs:nodejs)
✅ Read-only mounts for sensitive files
✅ Multi-stage Docker builds
✅ Health check implementations
✅ no-new-privileges security options

# Security Concerns Identified  
⚠️ Some containers running as root
⚠️ Docker socket mounted in containers
⚠️ Plain text passwords in compose files
⚠️ Missing resource limits
⚠️ Inconsistent secret management

📊 OPTIMIZATION RECOMMENDATIONS

🔧 IMMEDIATE OPTIMIZATIONS (Week 1)

1. Container Rebalancing

Problem: OMV800 overloaded (19 containers), fedora underutilized (1 container)

Solution:

# Move from OMV800 to fedora (Intel N95, 16GB RAM):
- vikunja: Task management
- adguard-home: DNS filtering  
- paperless-ai: AI processing
- redis: Distributed caching

# Expected Impact:
- OMV800: 25% load reduction
- fedora: Efficient resource utilization
- Better service isolation

2. Fix Unhealthy Services

Problem: Paperless-NGX unhealthy, PostgreSQL restarting

Solution:

# Immediate fixes
docker-compose logs paperless-ngx  # Investigate errors
docker system prune -f            # Clean up resources  
docker-compose restart postgres    # Reset database connections
docker volume ls | grep -E '(orphaned|dangling)' # Clean volumes

3. Security Hardening

Problem: SSH root enabled, firewalls inactive

Solution:

# Disable SSH root (OMV800 & raspberrypi)  
sudo sed -i 's/PermitRootLogin yes/PermitRootLogin no/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
sudo systemctl restart ssh

# Enable UFW on Ubuntu hosts
sudo ufw enable
sudo ufw default deny incoming
sudo ufw allow ssh
sudo ufw allow from 192.168.50.0/24  # Local network access

🚀 MEDIUM-TERM ENHANCEMENTS (Month 1)

4. Network Segmentation

Current: Single flat 192.168.50.0/24 network Proposed: Multi-VLAN architecture

# VLAN Design

Warm Tier (HDD): OMV800 main array  
Cold Tier (Backup): raspberrypi RAID-1

# Implementation
GlusterFS Distributed Storage:
├── Replica 2 across OMV800 + fedora
├── Automatic failover and healing
├── Performance improvement via distribution
└── Snapshots for point-in-time recovery

Expected Performance:
├── 3x faster database operations

Before Optimization (Current State)

Resource Utilization:
  OMV800: 95% CPU, 85% RAM (overloaded)
  fedora: 15% CPU, 40% RAM (underutilized)
  
Service Health:
  Healthy: 35/43 containers (81%)
  Unhealthy: 8/43 containers (19%)
  
Response Times:
  Immich: 2-3 seconds average
  Home Assistant: 1-2 seconds
  RAGgraph: 3-5 seconds
  
Backup Completion:
  Manual process, 6+ hours
  Success rate: ~80%

After Optimization (Target State)

Resource Utilization:
  All hosts: 70-85% optimal range
  No single point of overload
  
Service Health:
  Healthy: 43/43 containers (100%)
  Automatic recovery enabled
  
Response Times:
  Immich: <1 second (3x improvement)
  Home Assistant: <500ms (2x improvement)
  RAGgraph: <2 seconds (2x improvement)
  
Backup Completion:
  Automated process, 2 hours
  Success rate: 99%+

Rollback Procedures

# Complete system rollback capability
# 1. Configuration snapshots before changes
git commit -am "Pre-optimization snapshot"

# 2. Data backups before migrations  
ansible-playbook backup_everything.yml

# 3. Service rollback procedures
docker-compose down
docker-compose -f docker-compose.old.yml up -d

# 4. Network rollback to flat topology
# Documented switch configurations
