## Scripts

### fix_n8n_db_permissions.sh

**Purpose**: Fix PostgreSQL 15+ permission issues for n8n database

**Background**: PostgreSQL 15+ removed default CREATE permission from the PUBLIC role on the 'public' schema. This breaking change causes n8n database migrations to fail with "permission denied for schema public" errors.

**What it does**:
1. Creates timestamped backup of existing n8n database
2. Drops and recreates database with proper ownership (`OWNER n8n_user`)
3. Grants explicit schema permissions for PostgreSQL 15+ compatibility
4. Tests permissions by creating and dropping a test table
5. Restarts n8n service and verifies successful startup

**Usage**:

```bash
# Method 1: Set password via environment variable (recommended)
export N8N_DB_PASSWORD='your_password_here'
bash fix_n8n_db_permissions.sh

# Method 2: Edit DB_PASSWORD in script directly
# Edit line 28 to replace YOUR_DB_PASSWORD_HERE with actual password
bash fix_n8n_db_permissions.sh
```

**Requirements**:
- Must run as root
- PostgreSQL service must be running
- n8n service must be installed

**Output**:
- Database backup: `/var/backups/n8n/n8n_db_backup_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.sql`
- Log file: `/var/log/n8n_db_fix_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.log`

**Expected Runtime**: 15-30 seconds

**See Also**:
- Complete troubleshooting documentation: `/home/jramos/homelab/CLAUDE_STATUS.md` (section: "Post-Deployment Troubleshooting")
- n8n setup documentation: `/home/jramos/homelab/n8n/N8N-SETUP-PLAN.md`

### fix_n8n_db_c_locale.sh (Template-Based)

**Purpose**: Fix PostgreSQL 15+ permission issues for n8n database with correct Debian 12 locale support

**Background**:
- PostgreSQL 15+ removed default CREATE permission from the PUBLIC role
- Debian 12 minimal LXC containers only have `C.utf8` locale available (lowercase)
- Previous scripts used incorrect locale names (`en_US.UTF-8` or `C.UTF-8`) causing database creation failures

**Template-Based Security**:
This script uses a template approach to avoid committing credentials to git:
- `fix_n8n_db_c_locale.sh.template` - Tracked in git (no credentials)
- `fix_n8n_db_c_locale.sh` - Active script (excluded from git via .gitignore)

**Setup Instructions**:

```bash
# 1. Copy the template to create your working script
cp fix_n8n_db_c_locale.sh.template fix_n8n_db_c_locale.sh

# 2. Set the database password via environment variable (recommended)
export N8N_DB_PASSWORD='your_secure_password_here'

# 3. Run the script
bash fix_n8n_db_c_locale.sh

# 4. Securely delete the script after use (contains credentials in SQL)
shred -u fix_n8n_db_c_locale.sh
```

**What it does**:
1. Validates that N8N_DB_PASSWORD environment variable is set
2. Creates timestamped backup of existing n8n database (if exists)
3. Drops and recreates database with:
   - Locale: `C.utf8` (matches Debian 12 minimal system)
   - Owner: `n8n_user`
   - Encoding: `UTF8`
4. Grants PostgreSQL 15+ required permissions:
   - `GRANT ALL ON SCHEMA public TO n8n_user`
   - `GRANT CREATE ON SCHEMA public TO n8n_user`
5. Tests permissions by creating/dropping a test table
6. Restarts n8n service and verifies successful startup

**Requirements**:
- Must run as root (or with sudo)
- PostgreSQL service must be running
- n8n service must be installed
- N8N_DB_PASSWORD environment variable must be set

**Output**:
- Log file: `/var/log/n8n_db_fix_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.log`
- Database settings verification in log output

**Expected Runtime**: 20-40 seconds

**Security Notes**:
- Always use environment variables for credentials (never hardcode)
- The script contains the password in embedded SQL - delete after use
- Use `shred -u` instead of `rm` to securely delete the file
- The template file is safe to commit (contains no credentials)

**Differences from fix_n8n_db_permissions.sh**:
- Uses `C.utf8` locale instead of `en_US.UTF-8`
- Validates environment variable is set before running
- Designed for Debian 12 minimal LXC containers
- Includes reminder to delete script after use

### export_cf_dns.py

**Purpose**: Export Cloudflare DNS configuration and zone settings for backup or migration

**What it does**:
1. Fetches all DNS records from specified Cloudflare zone (with pagination support)
2. Retrieves key zone settings (SSL mode, TLS version, websockets, etc.)
3. Exports combined configuration to JSON file
4. Provides clean, structured output for infrastructure-as-code workflows

**Usage**:

```bash
# Method 1: Set credentials via environment variables (recommended)
export CF_ZONE_ID='your_zone_id_here'
export CF_API_TOKEN='your_api_token_here'
python3 export_cf_dns.py

# Method 2: Edit credentials in script directly
# Edit lines 7-8 to replace placeholders with actual credentials
python3 export_cf_dns.py
```

**Requirements**:
- Python 3.6+
- `requests` library: `pip install requests`
- Cloudflare API token with Zone:Read permissions
- Cloudflare Zone ID for the target domain

**Output**:
- `cloudflare_full_config.json` - Combined DNS records and zone settings

**Example Output Structure**:
```json
{
  "metadata": {
    "zone_id": "abc123...",
    "export_date": "Now"
  },
  "zone_settings": {
    "ssl": "strict",
    "always_use_https": "on",
    "min_tls_version": "1.2",
    "websockets": "on"
  },
  "dns_records": [
    {
      "name": "example.com",
      "type": "A",
      "content": "192.168.1.1",
      "proxied": true,
      "ttl": 1
    }
  ]
}
```

**Use Cases**:
- Backup DNS configuration before major changes
- Document current DNS state for disaster recovery
- Export for migration to another Cloudflare account
- Generate infrastructure-as-code templates

## Security Notes

### Template-Based Script Pattern

This repository uses a **template-based approach** for scripts containing sensitive data:

1. **Template files** (`.template` extension): Tracked in git, contain placeholder variables
2. **Active scripts**: Excluded from git via `.gitignore`, contain actual credentials

**Workflow**:
```bash
# Copy template to create working script
cp script_name.sh.template script_name.sh

# Set credentials via environment variables
export VARIABLE_NAME='actual_value'

# Run the script
bash script_name.sh

# Securely delete after use
shred -u script_name.sh  # Overwrites and deletes
```

**Benefits**:
- Repository stays credential-free
- Templates serve as documentation
- Easy to recreate scripts when needed
- Supports version control of script logic without exposing secrets

### General Security Guidelines

- Scripts in this directory may require credentials to be set via environment variables
- **Never commit scripts containing plaintext passwords to version control**
- Use `.gitignore` to exclude credential-containing variants
- Delete or shred scripts with embedded credentials after use
- Always use `shred -u` instead of `rm` for files containing credentials
- Prefer environment variables over hardcoded credentials
- Use dedicated service accounts with minimal permissions

## Contributing

When adding new scripts:
1. Include comprehensive header comments explaining purpose and usage
2. Parameterize credentials (use environment variables or prompts)
3. Add error handling and logging
4. Document in this README
5. Follow bash best practices (set -euo pipefail, quote variables, etc.)
