📊 Genesis Radio Infrastructure Overview

Date: April 30, 2025
Prepared by: Doc

🏗️ Infrastructure Summary

Genesis Radio now operates a fully segmented, secure, and performance-tuned backend suitable for enterprise-grade broadcasting and media delivery. The infrastructure supports high availability (HA) principles for storage and platform independence for core services.

🧱 Core Components

🎙️ Genesis Radio Services

StationPlaylist (SPL): Windows-based automation system, mounts secure object storage as drives via rclone
Voice Tracker (Remote Access): Synced with SPL backend and available to authorized remote users
Azuracast (Secondary automation): Dockerized platform running on dedicated VM
Mastodon (Community): Hosted in Docker with separate PostgreSQL cluster and MinIO object storage

💾 Storage Architecture

Feature	Status
Primary Storage Backend	MinIO on `shredderv2`
Storage Filesystem	ZFS RAID-Z1
Encryption	Enabled (per-bucket S3 SSE)
Buckets (Scoped)	`genesislibrary-secure`, `genesisassets-secure`, `genesisshows-secure`, `mastodonassets-secure`
Snapshot Capability	✅ (ZFS native snapshots)
Caching	SSD-backed rclone VFS cache per mount

🛡️ Security & Access Control

TLS for all services (Let's Encrypt)
MinIO Console behind HTTPS (consolev2.sshjunkie.com)
User policies applied per-bucket (read/write scoped)
Server-to-server rsync/rclone over SSH

🔄 Backup & Recovery

Dedicated backup server with SSH access
Nightly rsync for show archives and Mastodon data
Snapshot replication via zfs send | ssh backup zfs recv planned
Manual and automated snapshot tools

🔍 Monitoring & Observability

Component	Status	Notes
System Monitoring	`vmstat`, `watch`, custom CLI tools
Log Aggregation	Centralized on pyapps VM
Prometheus	Partial (used with ClusterControl)
Alerts	Mastodon warning bot, Telegram planned

🚦 Current Migration Status

Component	Status	Notes
Mastodon Assets	✅ Migrated	Verified, encrypted, ZFS snapshotted
Genesis Library	✅ Migrated	Synced from backup server
Genesis Assets	✅ Migrated	Cleanup of shows in progress
Genesis Shows	✅ Migrated	Pulled from same source, cleanup to follow
Azuracast	Migrated	Staged and restored from staging

🧭 Next Steps

Clean up misplaced show files in assets bucket
Automate ZFS snapshot replication
Consider Grafana/Prometheus dashboard for real-time metrics
Continue phasing out legacy containers (LXC → full VMs)

This infrastructure is stable, secure, and built for scale. Further improvements will refine observability, automate recovery, and enhance multi-user coordination.
