## 2026-08-28
| Phase | What was done | Notes/Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| P0 | Verified no AWS CLI / rclone / creds on `.13` (clean slate) | `command -v aws` empty; `rclone` empty on `.13` |
| P0 | Verified existing backup stack on `.13` | Borg 1.4.3 in `backup.nix` (`services.borgbackup.jobs.*`, timers 04:00/05:00/06:00, BORG_RSH wrapper for SSH to `.35`) |
| P0 | Verified `.13` containers | `wherewoof-admin`(:3031), `wherewoof-minio`(:9010), `wherewoof-db`(:5434), Garage(:3900/3902)+portal(:8500) |
| P0 | Confirmed external exposure | static IP port-forward 80/443 → Caddy `.35`; `where-woof.com`→`192.168.20.13:3020` |
| P1 | Decision: AWS-only, S3→Glacier DA, ap-southeast-2 (Sydney), IAM least-privilege | Awaiting AWS account signup to proceed |
| — | Created per-phase plan notes (P0, P1, P2, P3, P5) + this log | Obsidian `220 Web Host Migration/` |

## 2026-08-28 (Phase 1 — build begun)
| Phase | What was done | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| P0 | **Machine confirmation** — assistant runs on `.27` (sam-4screen-desktop); `.13` reachable via `sam@192.168.20.13` | hostname `sam-4screen-desktop` = `.27` |
| P1 | AWS account ready; IAM user `backup-offsite` created (programmatic, least-priv) | — |
| P1 | **Credentials verified** via AWS STS (`get-caller-identity`) | Account `648879824522`, user `backup-offsite`, region `ap-southeast-2` |
| P1 | Credentials stored local-only (`aws-credentials.local` 0600, .27) + copied to `.13` (`~/.aws-credentials.local.new` 0600). **Not in Obsidian.** | — |
| P1 | Verified `.13` has no aws-cli/rclone; will use one-off `nix-shell awscli2` for imperative steps until `backup.nix` updated | verified |
| P1 | STS key check OK (Account `648879824522`, user `backup-offsite`); created env-helper `~/.aws-offsite-env.sh` on `.13` (0600, sources creds from file, no secrets echoed) | verified |
| P1 | **MFA**: root MFA enabled in console; Ente Auth as authenticator (phone). Ente recovery keyphrase stored in local `aws-credentials.local` (0600), NOT Obsidian | — |
| P1 | **Blocked on** expanded IAM policy attach (bucket-mgmt + object actions scoped to `sam-offsite-backup`) before bucket+lifecycle can be created | awaiting user |
| P1 | **Bucket `sam-offsite-backup` created** (ap-southeast-2, ACLs disabled, all public-access blocked, versioning enabled) — created via console as root; IAM `backup-offsite` kept object-only | created |
| P1 | **Object pipeline verified** on `.13`: PUT/LIST/GET/DELETE probe to `s3://sam-offsite-backup/test/` all succeeded via `backup-offsite` | probe-write, content readback OK |
| P1 | **TODO:** add lifecycle rule (S3→Glacier Flexible@30d→Glacier Deep Archive@90d) — IAM `backup-offsite` lacks lifecycle perm, so rule will be created via console (root) | pending |

## Pending next action
- **Build:** create bucket `sam-offsite-backup` + lifecycle (S3→Glacier Flexible@30d→Glacier DA@90d), then wire local Borg/rclone→S3 on `.13`, seed, test restore.
- **Security:** enable root MFA; consider rotating access key after seeding (it was pasted in chat).
