# Comprehensive Production Audit — Final Summary
|
||
## IT Pro Partner Infrastructure — August 9, 2026
|
||
|
||
**Prepared for:** External Review
|
||
**Auditor:** Sho'Nuff (Hermes Agent)
|
||
**Model:** DeepSeek V4 Pro via admin-ai.itpropartner.com (LiteLLM gateway) — full audit, issue resolution, and follow-up task orchestration
|
||
**Master tracker:** [org-audit/docs/production-audit.md](https://git.itpropartner.com/ippadmin/org-audit/src/branch/master/docs/production-audit.md) (single source of truth)
|
||
**Narrative companion:** [itpp-infrastructure/docs/post-audit-report-2026-08-09.md](https://git.itpropartner.com/ippadmin/itpp-infrastructure/src/branch/main/docs/post-audit-report-2026-08-09.md)

|
||
|
||
## 1. Audit Scope
|
||
|
||
**Date:** August 9, 2026
|
||
**Coverage:** 50 Gitea repositories, 5 production servers, 31 live services, 6 DNS zones
|
||
|
||
**Methodology:**
|
||
- Cross-referenced every repository's documentation against live production state via SSH
|
||
- Verified server specs, Docker containers, DNS records, and cron jobs directly
|
||
- Reviewed Git history for exposed credentials
|
||
- Validated deployment docs against running containers and configs
|
||
- Second pass: external review caught 8 additional issues (addressed same day)
|
||
|
||
**Servers audited:**
|
||
|
||
| Server | IP | Specs (SSH-verified) | Provider |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| Core | 152.53.192.33 | 8 vCPU EPYC 9645, 15 GB RAM, 503 GB | netcup RS 2000 |
|
||
| app1 | 152.53.36.131 | 12 vCPU EPYC, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB | netcup RS 4000 |
|
||
| app2 | 152.53.39.202 | 12 vCPU EPYC, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB | netcup RS 4000 |
|
||
| app3 | 152.53.241.111 | 12 vCPU EPYC, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB | netcup RS 4000 |
|
||
| app1-bu | 5.161.225.131 | 3 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 80 GB | Hetzner CPX21 |

||
## 2. Findings — All 11 Issues
|
||
|
||
### Critical (2 findings)
|
||
|
||
| # | Finding | Initial State | Current Status |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| C1 | **Plaintext secrets in Git repos** | `hermes-recovery` (SyncroMSP token, Apex MySQL password), `hermes-skills` (LiteLLM viewer key) | ✅ **RESOLVED.** Both repos Git-purged via `filter-branch`. All 3 credentials verified stale: (A) SyncroMSP token from prior rotation cycle, (B) Apex password targeted RunCloud-era DB on dead wphost02, (C) LiteLLM key confirmed dead via live API rejection. **Prevention deployed: pre-commit secret scanner on all 7 repos.** |
|
||
| C2 | **DR runbook staleness** | Pre-Jul-28-migration server IPs and backup paths in recovery runbooks | 🔴 **OPEN — elevated from MEDIUM to CRITICAL by external review.** Wrong DR docs are close to worst-case if ever needed. Recovery runbooks for app1/app2/app3 target old server IPs and stale backup script paths. |
|
||
|
||
### High (5 findings)
|
||
|
||
| # | Finding | Initial State | Current Status |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| H1 | **LiteLLM deployment docs** | No deployment doc existed | ⚠️ **STALE (reopened).** Deployment doc exists (644 lines), but claims "No fallback chains are configured" — Hermes has a 5-deep fallback chain active. Additionally, the `gemini-3.6-flash` model in the chain isn't in the 143 available models on admin-ai (closest: `gemini-2.5-flash`). Doc must be updated. |
|
||
| H2 | **Vaultwarden deployment docs** | No deployment doc existed | ✅ **DOCUMENTED** (414 lines). Deployment, backup, and restore procedures documented. Should be reviewed for completeness against Jul 28 migration. |
|
||
| H3 | **Wazuh deployment docs** | No deployment doc existed | ✅ **DOCUMENTED** (527 lines). Agent enrollment, dashboard access, and index management documented. |
|
||
| H4 | **Technitium DNS deployment docs** | No deployment doc existed | ✅ **DOCUMENTED** (426 lines). Zone file backup, admin password rotation, and scope config documented. |
|
||
| H5 | **Twenty CRM + backup** | No deployment doc, no backup | ✅ **DOCUMENTED + BACKED UP** (446 lines). Backup integrated into app1's daily backup script as of Aug 9. |
|
||
|
||
### Resolved / New (4 findings)
|
||
|
||
| # | Finding | Initial State | Current Status |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| R1 | **fleettracker360.com DNS** | Flagged as broken DNS | ✅ **RESOLVED** — false positive. Cloudflare orange-cloud proxy IPs (188.114.x.x) are expected. Site returns HTTP/2 200 through proxy. |
|
||
| R2 | **itpp-infrastructure stale docs** | `master-apps-services.md` listed defunct servers | ✅ **RESOLVED** — file deleted. `architecture.md` is now authoritative, updated with verified specs. |
|
||
| N1 | **Auth API / Stack Auth / Hexclave** | Not in audit scope, flagged as missing | ✅ **RESOLVED (false alarm, closed 2026-08-09).** `auth2.itpropartner.com` (app3) is live. Hexclave (formerly Stack Auth) Docker containers confirmed: `hexclave-server`, `hexclave-cron`, `hexclave-postgres`, `hexclave-clickhouse`. Daily backups at 3:15 AM and 3:30 AM. **Root cause:** Audit checked wrong domains (`auth.itpropartner.com`, `stack.itpropartner.com`) instead of the known-correct `auth2.itpropartner.com`. Container search was scoped to app1 only, missing app3. Process gap: established facts weren't referenced before fresh discovery scans. |
|
||
| N2 | **Gitea deployment docs** | No deployment doc existed | ✅ **DOCUMENTED** (565 lines). The service hosting all documentation is now itself documented. |

## 4. How the Environment Is Better
|
||
|
||
### Before the Audit
|
||
|
||
| Issue | Impact |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| **2 repos had plaintext API keys in Git history** | SyncroMSP token, Apex MySQL password, and LiteLLM viewer key were exposed to anyone with Gitea access. Git history carried them through every clone. |
|
||
| **6 critical services had no deployment docs** | Vaultwarden, Wazuh, LiteLLM, Twenty CRM, Gitea, Technitium DNS — zero documentation. Recovery from outage meant reverse-engineering Docker configs. |
|
||
| **`apex-mail-watchdog` silently failed for months** | Bad MySQL credentials + dead RunCloud server — all swallowed by bare `except: pass`. No alerts. |
|
||
| **`doc-live-verify` cron timed out every run** | Server inventory had wrong specs, DNS timeout was 5s per host, Cloudflare proxy IPs triggered false mismatch alerts. |
|
||
| **`claude-infra-doc-audit` delivered to dead chat** | Daily audit reports went to a Telegram topic that no longer existed. |
|
||
| **`master-apps-services.md` listed 10+ defunct servers** | wphost01, Mattermost, standalone Hudu — all decommissioned but still in the "authoritative" doc. |
|
||
| **DR runbooks targeted pre-migration IPs** | If Core failed and these runbooks were followed, restores would target dead servers. |
|
||
| **No secret scanning on any repo** | Third credential exposure event was inevitable. |
|
||
|
||
### After the Audit
|
||
|
||
| Improvement | Verification |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| **Git history clean on both exposed repos** | `git filter-branch` purge verified; all 3 credentials confirmed stale/dead |
|
||
| **6 deployment docs written (414–644 lines each)** | Covers deployment, config, backup, restore, and troubleshooting |
|
||
| **Pre-commit secret scanner on 7 repos** | Blocks API keys, tokens, private keys before commit; allowlist-tuned for deployment doc patterns |
|
||
| **`apex-mail-watchdog` fixed** | Migrated to app3, correct CloudPanel credentials, proper error handling |
|
||
| **`doc-live-verify` fixed** | Completes in <45s; correct server inventory, 2s DNS timeout, Cloudflare proxy IPs allowlisted |
|
||
| **`claude-infra-doc-audit` delivery fixed** | Now delivers to `telegram:5813481339` (Home channel) |
|
||
| **`docker-volume-sync` deleted** | Redundant — volume backup covered by `hermes-backup.sh` |
|
||
| **`master-apps-services.md` deleted** | Replaced by verified `architecture.md` with SSH-confirmed specs |
|
||
| **Server specs corrected everywhere** | `nproc` + `free -m` + `df -BG` verified on all 3 app servers: 12 vCPU, 32 GB, 1 TB |
|
||
| **Homelab docs updated** | PVE 8.4.1 confirmed, QNAP firmware 5.2.7, WG/L2TP tunnels verified UP |
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
## 5. Safeguards in Place
|
||
|
||
### Prevention
|
||
|
||
| Safeguard | What It Does | Status |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| **Pre-commit secret scanner** | `grep`-based hook blocks commits containing API keys, tokens, private keys, connection strings | ✅ Deployed on all 7 ITPP repos (Aug 9) |
|
||
| **Vaultwarden credential store** | All secrets live in one encrypted store, not scattered across files | ✅ In production |
|
||
| **Provider diversity for DR** | app1-bu is on Hetzner — netcup outage can't kill both Core and standby simultaneously | ✅ Active (10-min heartbeat) |
|
||
|
||
### Detection
|
||
|
||
| Safeguard | What It Does | Frequency |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| **`doc-live-verify`** | Compares architecture.md against live SSH/DNS/Docker checks | Every 30 min |
|
||
| **`claude-infra-doc-audit`** | AI-driven audit: scans all doc repos, flags staleness, missing hooks, drift | Daily 2 AM ET |
|
||
| **`apex-mail-watchdog`** | Checks MySQL connectivity and SMTP delivery on app3 | Every 5 min |
|
||
| **`hermes-live-sync`** | Checkpoints Hermes state to S3 | Every 15 min |
|
||
| **app1-bu heartbeat** | Warm standby auto-failover if Core is unreachable | Every 10 min |
|
||
|
||
### Recovery
|
||
|
||
| Safeguard | What It Does | Frequency |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Daily full backups | Core + app1 + app2 + app3 → Wasabi S3 | Staggered: 1 AM, 2 AM, 2:30 AM, 3 AM |
|
||
| Warm standby | app1-bu boots and auto-restores from latest S3 snapshot | On failover trigger |
|
||
| Git-based doc recovery | Every doc exists in Gitea — redundant to any single server | Real-time (every push) |
|
||
|
||
**Note on prevention vs detection:** The daily doc-audit cron is **detection** (post-commit, up to 24-hour exposure window), not prevention. The pre-commit scanner now closes this gap at commit time. Both layers are in place.

## 6. Remaining Work
|
||
|
||
### Open findings from this audit
|
||
|
||
| Priority | Finding | Status |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| 🔴 **CRITICAL** | **DR standby sizing mismatch** — `app1-bu` (Hetzner CPX21: 4 GB RAM, 80 GB) cannot actually fail over for Core (15 GB RAM, 503 GB). Disk is 6× undersized; RAM is 3.75× undersized. If Core uses >4 GB RAM or fills >80 GB disk, failover will OOM or run out of disk. | 🆕 OPEN |
|
||
| 🔴 **CRITICAL** | **DR runbook staleness** — Recovery runbooks reference pre-Jul-28-migration IPs and backup paths. Must be updated to match current deployment topology. | Open |
|
||
| 🟡 **HIGH** | **15 undocumented services lack deployment guides** — DocuSeal, Komodo, RAGFlow, Dawarich, Camofox, Open WebUI, n8n, Twenty CRM, Microbin, Browserless, SearXNG, Technitium DNS, Uptime Kuma, Kokoro TTS, Mealie. Same gap that triggered H2–H5 at HIGH — needs a dedicated finding, not a footnote. | 🆕 OPEN |
|
||
| 🟡 **HIGH** | **LiteLLM deployment doc** needs fallback chain section + verify `gemini-3.6-flash` availability | Reopened |
|
||
| 🟡 **HIGH** | **Pre-commit secret scanner coverage** — deployed on only 7 of 50 repos. Remaining ~43 repos have zero automated prevention against plaintext secret commits. | 🆕 OPEN |
|
||
| 🟡 **STALE** | 17 repos with partial/stale docs | Ongoing |
|
||
| 🟡 **ABSENT** | **OS/Docker patch management** — no finding for underlying host OS security patches or Docker image vulnerability scanning across 5 servers. | 🆕 OPEN |
|
||
| 🟢 **GAP** | **Auth API / Stack Auth** — now confirmed running at `auth2.itpropartner.com` on app3. Needs deployment documentation. | N1 closed. Doc gap remains. |
|
||
| 🟢 **NOTES** | Homelab: adguard-home VM 100 stopped on vm-host-01. QNAP NFS mounts both pointing to `/ISO` export. | Low-priority |
|
||
|
||
### Guardrails to prevent recurrence
|
||
|
||
| What | Why |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| **Pre-commit scanner cron verification** | `claude-infra-doc-audit` now checks that hooks are installed on all repos. Any repo missing protection is flagged. |
|
||
| **Single master tracker** | `org-audit/docs/production-audit.md` is the one place for finding status. No other audit document tracks status independently. |
|
||
| **Headline accuracy rule** | Executive summaries must not claim more than the body supports. "Full documentation coverage" was wrong; "critical services complete" is correct. |
|
||
| **Server specs: SSH-verify, never assume** | "8C/16G/320G" was wrong — no source supported it. Going forward, specs must be verified via `nproc`, `free -m`, `df -BG` directly. |
|
||
| **Fact-reference before discovery** | N1 false alarm: audit checked guessed domains (`auth.itpropartner.com`, `stack.itpropartner.com`) instead of the known-correct `auth2.itpropartner.com`. Established memory facts (Hexclave = Stack Auth = auth2.itpropartner.com on app3) were available but not referenced before conducting fresh DNS discovery. Process fix: before any discovery scan, query memory and fact_store for known entities being scanned. |

|
||
|
||
### B. Credential Staleness Verification
|
||
|
||
| Credential | Source | Verification | Result |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| SyncroMSP token `fe30c09a...` | `hermes-recovery/references/itpp-api-keys.md` | Hash comparison: exposed hash ≠ current Vaultwarden token | **STALE** — prior rotation cycle |
|
||
| Apex MySQL `apextrackexperience_1781549652` | `hermes-recovery/references/apex-db-credentials.md` | RunCloud-era username format; wphost02 offline; CloudPanel uses different user scheme | **STALE** — target DB doesn't exist |
|
||
| LiteLLM viewer `sk-dZ6Gnb...` | `hermes-skills/README.md` | Live API test: `curl admin-ai/v1/models` → "Invalid proxy server token" | **DEAD** — deleted from LiteLLM token table |
|
||
|
||
### C. Cross-Reference: Every Repo vs Production
|
||
|
||
All counts derived from the per-repo table in [production-audit.md](https://git.itpropartner.com/ippadmin/org-audit/src/branch/master/docs/production-audit.md). See that document for the full per-repo breakdown.
