+# admin — infrastructure agenda
+
+Operational + roadmap workspace for personal-and-client infrastructure stack:
+
+- **VDS** (`vds.kzntsv.site`, Rusonyx) — gitea, verdaccio, registry, shared DB park, ntfy, traefik+portainer
+- **NAS** (`kreknin`, Synology DSM) — backup target, Hyper Backup repo, secondary services
+- **Windows recovery host** — current CMS prod host (IIS + traefik + docker), to be replaced as part of fault-tolerance roadmap
+- **OpenWRT router** — NAT 80/443 → traefik
+
+## Current state
+
+See `concepts/recovery-architecture-snapshot.md` (migrated 2026-05-21 from `MoreThenCms`).
+
+## Goal
+
+Build fault-tolerant infrastructure so the 2026-05-18 SMR-cascade incident does not repeat. Roadmap design in progress — see `concepts/future-resilient-architecture-goals.md` (migrated 2026-05-21) and active task `[resilience-roadmap-design]`.
+
+## Related repos (out of admin)
+
+- `OpeItcLoc03/vds-ops-mcp` — read-only docker ops MCP for VDS
+- `OpeItcLoc03/synology-ops-mcp` — same for NAS
+- `OpeItcLoc03/projects-meta-mcp` — cross-project state aggregator
+- `OpeItcLoc03/agenda` — cross-project task meta-board
+- `OpeItcLoc03/projects-wiki` — shared knowledge wiki
