-          📦 Services to Update:
-          1. PostgreSQL - Switch to socket-only (no TCP)
-          2. Valkey - Add Unix socket support
-          3. Authentik - Use sockets for DB/cache
-          4. Gitea - Use sockets for DB/cache
-          
-          🔒 Security Benefits:
-          - Zero network exposure for databases

+## ADR-007: Multi-Environment Infrastructure Architecture
+
+**Date**: December 2025  
+**Status**: Accepted  
+**Context**: Separation of homelab services from production client projects
+
+### Decision
+
+Rick-infra will manage two separate environments with different purposes and uptime requirements:
+
+1. **Homelab Environment** (arch-vps)
+   - Purpose: Personal services and experimentation
+   - Infrastructure: Full stack (PostgreSQL, Valkey, Podman, Caddy)
+   - Services: Authentik, Nextcloud, Gitea
+   - Uptime requirement: Best effort
+
+2. **Production Environment** (mini-vps)
+   - Purpose: Client projects requiring high uptime
+   - Infrastructure: Minimal (Caddy only)
+   - Services: Sigvild Gallery
+   - Uptime requirement: High availability
+
+### Rationale
+
+**Separation of Concerns**:
+- Personal experiments don't affect client services
+- Client services isolated from homelab maintenance
+- Clear distinction between environments in code
+
+**Infrastructure Optimization**:
+- Production runs minimal services (no PostgreSQL/Valkey overhead)
+- Homelab can be rebooted/upgraded without affecting clients
+- Cost optimization: smaller VPS for production
+
+**Operational Flexibility**:
+- Different backup strategies per environment
+- Different monitoring/alerting levels
+- Independent deployment schedules
+
+### Implementation
+
+**Variable Organization**:
+```
+rick-infra/
+├── group_vars/
+│   └── production/        # Production environment config
+│       ├── main.yml
+│       └── vault.yml
+├── host_vars/
+│   └── arch-vps/          # Homelab host config
+│       ├── main.yml
+│       └── vault.yml
+└── playbooks/
+    ├── homelab.yml        # Homelab deployment
+    ├── production.yml     # Production deployment
+    └── site.yml           # Orchestrates both
+```
+
+**Playbook Structure**:
+- `site.yml` imports both homelab.yml and production.yml
+- Each playbook manually loads variables (Ansible 2.20 workaround)
+- Services deploy only to their designated environment
+
+**Inventory Groups**:
+```yaml
+homelab:
+  hosts:
+    arch-vps:
+      ansible_host: 69.62.119.31
+
+production:
+  hosts:
+    mini-vps:
+      ansible_host: 72.62.91.251
+```
+
+### Migration Example
+
+**Sigvild Gallery Migration** (December 2025):
+- **From**: arch-vps (homelab)
+- **To**: mini-vps (production)
+- **Reason**: Client project requiring higher uptime
+- **Process**: 
+  1. Created backup on arch-vps
+  2. Deployed to mini-vps with automatic restore
+  3. Updated DNS (5 min downtime)
+  4. Removed from arch-vps configuration
+
+### Consequences
+
+**Positive**:
+- Clear separation of personal vs. client services
+- Reduced blast radius for experiments
+- Optimized resource usage per environment
+- Independent scaling and management
+
+**Negative**:
+- Increased complexity in playbook organization
+- Need to manage multiple VPS instances
+- Ansible 2.20 variable loading requires workarounds
+- Duplicate infrastructure code (Caddy on both)
+
+**Neutral**:
+- Services can be migrated between environments with minimal friction
+- Backup/restore procedures work across environments
+- Group_vars vs. host_vars hybrid approach
+
+### Future Considerations
+
+- Consider grouping multiple client projects on production VPS
+- Evaluate if homelab needs full infrastructure stack
+- Monitor for opportunities to share infrastructure between environments
+- Document migration procedures for moving services between environments

 # Sigvild Gallery Deployment Guide
 
+## Overview
+
+Sigvild Wedding Gallery is deployed on **mini-vps** (production environment) for high uptime and reliability. The gallery uses PocketBase API backend with SvelteKit frontend.
+
+**Production Host**: mini-vps (72.62.91.251)  
+**Domains**: sigvild.no (frontend), api.sigvild.no (API)
+
 ## Quick Start
 
-Deploy the complete Sigvild Wedding Gallery with PocketBase API and SvelteKit frontend.
+Deploy Sigvild Gallery to production:
+
+```bash
+ansible-playbook playbooks/production.yml
+```
 
 ## Prerequisites Setup
 
 ### 1. Vault Password Configuration
 
-Create encrypted passwords for the gallery authentication:
+Encrypted passwords are stored in `group_vars/production/vault.yml`:
 
 ```bash
-# Create vault passwords (run from rick-infra directory)
-ansible-vault encrypt_string 'your-host-password-here' --name 'vault_sigvild_host_password'
-ansible-vault encrypt_string 'your-guest-password-here' --name 'vault_sigvild_guest_password'
+# Edit production vault (run from rick-infra directory)
+ansible-vault edit group_vars/production/vault.yml
 ```
 
-Add the encrypted strings to `host_vars/arch-vps/main.yml`:
+Add these variables:
 
 ```yaml
-# Add to host_vars/arch-vps/main.yml
-vault_sigvild_host_password: !vault |
-          $ANSIBLE_VAULT;1.1;AES256

-          $ANSIBLE_VAULT;1.1;AES256  
-          33663065383834313...
+# Production vault variables
+vault_cloudflare_api_token: "your-cloudflare-token"
+vault_caddy_tls_email: "admin@example.com"
+vault_sigvild_host_password: "host-user-password"
+vault_sigvild_guest_password: "guest-user-password"
+vault_pb_su_email: "admin@sigvild.no"
+vault_pb_su_password: "admin-password"
 ```
 
+**Note**: Use `ansible-vault encrypt group_vars/production/vault.yml` after editing.
+
 ### 2. DNS Configuration
 
-Ensure these domains point to your server:
-- `sigvild.no` → Frontend static site
-- `api.sigvild.no` → API backend proxy
+Point these domains to **mini-vps** (72.62.91.251):
+- `sigvild.no` A record → 72.62.91.251
+- `api.sigvild.no` A record → 72.62.91.251

-The deployment system builds locally and transfers assets, so you don't need build tools on the server.

+**Build Process**:
+- Backend: Built locally with `GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build`
+- Frontend: Built locally with `npm run build` in sigvild-kit/
+- Assets transferred to mini-vps via Ansible
+- No build tools required on the server
+
+## Migration History
+
+**December 2025**: Migrated from arch-vps (homelab) to mini-vps (production)
+- **Reason**: Client project requiring higher uptime reliability
+- **Method**: Backup from arch-vps, automatic restore to mini-vps
+- **Downtime**: ~5 minutes during DNS propagation
+- **Previous host**: arch-vps (69.62.119.31)
+- **Current host**: mini-vps (72.62.91.251)
