docs(roles): list the slim platform variants

[Aleksei Sviridkin (lexfrei)]

Summary

Cozystack adds three minimal platform variants in cozystack/cozystack#4595: isp-slim, isp-slim-generic and isp-hosted-slim. The role already renders a valid Package for them, so this only documents the names.

On k3s the one to use is isp-slim-generic; isp-slim is its Talos counterpart. Its networking is Cilium without Kube-OVN and k3s allocates the pod CIDRs, so the platform chart ignores the role's pod, gateway, service and join CIDR values there.

Changes

• cozystack_platform_variant comment in the role defaults and the README table list the new variants
• CHANGELOG entry under Unreleased

Test plan

• ansible-lint passes on the changed defaults file
• ansible-test sanity passes (not run locally, CI covers it)
• Tested on a live cluster (not applicable: documentation only, the rendered Package does not change)
• Idempotency verified (not applicable: no task changes)

Related, older than this PR: #80 (the role's Kube-OVN settings never reach the chart).

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Documented the isp-slim, isp-slim-generic, and isp-hosted-slim platform variants.
  • Clarified that the generic slim variant uses Cilium with pod ranges from k3s and ignores configured network CIDRs.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changelog, README, and role defaults comments now document isp-slim, isp-slim-generic, and isp-hosted-slim, including their release requirement and networking details. The default platform variant remains unchanged.

Changes

Platform Variant Documentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Document variants and networking roles/cozystack/defaults/main.yml, README.md, CHANGELOG.rst	The comments and documentation list the variants, describe their platform scope and networking, and identify CIDR settings that isp-slim-generic ignores.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~4 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8bd3d

For releases containing the slim-variant change, README users may expect the pod-gateway and join CIDR settings to take effect on isp-slim-generic, although the chart ignores them. This is a bounded documentation gap; clarify the note before merging.

Architecture Summary

Architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8bd3d

The change affects 3 systems.

Changed systems: CHANGELOG.rst, README.md, roles

• observed — CHANGELOG.rst (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

• observed — roles (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in CHANGELOG.rst: Added Unreleased notes listing the minimal platform variants and their release requirement. For generic Linux, the notes specify that isp-slim-generic installs only the base platform, uses Cilium without Kube-OVN, gets its pod CIDR from k3s, and ignores the four listed Cozystack CIDR variables.
• observed — Modified behavior in README.md: The CIDR note now states that isp-slim-generic ignores both CIDRs and Cilium takes pod ranges from k3s.
• observed — Modified behavior in README.md: The documented cozystack_platform_variant values now include isp-slim-generic, isp-slim, and isp-hosted-slim, conditional on the Cozystack release including the referenced change.
• observed — Modified behavior in roles/cozystack/defaults/main.yml: The variant comment adds three available variants and describes their platform scope and networking; it also notes that the chart ignores the pod, gateway, service, and join CIDR settings for those variants.

🌐 Web query:

cozystack/cozystack#4595 isp-slim-generic chart cozystack_pod_gateway cozystack_join_cidr

💡 Result:

I couldn’t verify what **cozystack/cozystack#4595** says: the issue page wasn’t available in the search results. The closest relevant source is the **Ansible collection’s** configuration docs—not the `isp-slim-generic` chart itself—and it lists:

- `cozystack_pod_gateway`: `10.42.0.1`
- `cozystack_join_cidr`: `100.64.0.0/16`
- Platform variant default: `isp-full-generic`

Those values are documented for the installer role; they don’t establish whether issue #4595 changes the `isp-slim-generic` chart. ([github.com](https://github.com/cozystack/ansible-cozystack))

💡 Result:

I couldn’t find a GitHub result matching both `isp-slim-generic` and `podGateway` in the Cozystack repository. The search returned no results, so I can’t confirm whether those terms appear there.

List all four ignored networking variables.

For releases containing cozystack/cozystack#4595, isp-slim-generic removes the Kube-OVN component. List all four networking variables in this note.

Suggested wording

- On isp-slim-generic, the slim variant for k3s, the chart ignores both: Cilium takes pod ranges from k3s.
+ On isp-slim-generic, the slim variant for k3s, releases containing cozystack/cozystack#4595 ignore cozystack_pod_cidr, cozystack_pod_gateway, cozystack_svc_cidr and cozystack_join_cidr; Cilium takes pod ranges from k3s.

These CIDRs are the k3s defaults. The example clusters set them via the `server_config_yaml` variable consumed by `k3s.orchestration`, defined in `examples/<distro>/inventory.yml`.

Verdict

LGTM

Docs-only change listing the slim platform variants. The variant names match the platform side, and the wording is accurate.

Findings

• [NIT] README.md and CHANGELOG.rst list the slim variants in a different order from each other. Harmless, but keeping one order in both reads better.
