- Set namespace pod-security.kubernetes.io/enforce to baseline
- Remove restrictive container securityContext
- Allows signal-cli-rest-api container to run its entrypoint script
which requires user/group modification capabilities
- Add container securityContext to satisfy PodSecurity policy
- Set SIGNAL_CLI_UID/GID to 0 to disable user modification attempts
- Fixes CrashLoopBackOff due to groupmod permission denied
The signal-cli-rest-api container's entrypoint script requires
privileges to modify user/group settings. Removing securityContext
allows the container to run with its default settings.
- Deploy signal-cli-rest-api 0.85 for Hermes Signal notifications
- Replace broken astro-orbiter VM (10.1.71.130:8080) with K8s service
- ArgoCD-managed GitOps deployment in connections namespace
- NFS-backed persistent storage for signal-cli state
- Fixes UNREGISTERED_FAILURE affecting midday market cron job
- Epcot-themed service (communication pavilion concept)
Service endpoint: http://connections.connections.svc.cluster.local:8080
ExternalDNS v0.15.1 does not support --target as a CLI flag.
Remove the extraArgs stanza from external-dns-cloudflare values.yaml
and instead add the target annotation directly on the CouchDB ingress:
external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/target: ingress.mk-labs.cloud
This achieves the same result (Cloudflare CNAME -> ingress.mk-labs.cloud)
without crashing the controller.
- external-dns-cloudflare: add excludeDomains: [local.mk-labs.cloud] to stop
internal subdomain records from leaking to Cloudflare
- external-dns-cloudflare: replace hostname annotationFilter with opt-in model
(external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/public=true) so only explicitly tagged
services get public Cloudflare records
- external-dns-cloudflare: add extraArgs --target=lb.mk-labs.cloud
- external-dns (Technitium/rfc2136): add extraArgs
--target=lightning-lane.local.mk-labs.cloud for internal records
- couchdb: add external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/public: 'true' annotation —
first service to opt in to public DNS; will create communicore.mk-labs.cloud
pointing to lb.mk-labs.cloud via Cloudflare ExternalDNS
URGENT: Cloudflare was creating records for local.mk-labs.cloud hosts.
Ryan: manually delete any *.local.mk-labs.cloud records currently in Cloudflare
(look for communicore.local.mk-labs.cloud and any other local.* entries).
Deploy a second ExternalDNS instance targeting Cloudflare to manage
public DNS records in the mk-labs.cloud zone. The existing Technitium
(rfc2136) instance handling local.mk-labs.cloud is unchanged.
Components:
- application.yaml: ArgoCD Application, wave 6, namespace external-dns-cloudflare
- values.yaml: Cloudflare provider, domainFilters: mk-labs.cloud, txtOwnerId: fastpass
- externalsecret.yaml: ExternalSecret pulling CF_API_TOKEN from 1Password
PREREQUISITE (manual): Ryan must create the following in 1Password before
the ExternalSecret will sync:
Item name: cloudflare-external-dns
Field name: api-token
Value: Cloudflare API token with DNS Edit on mk-labs.cloud
Until then, the ExternalSecret will show SecretSyncedError — expected.
- Added config.json key to harbor-credentials ExternalSecret
This ensures kaniko can find the Docker auth config at /kaniko/.docker/config.json
(previously only .dockerconfigjson was present)
- Created test-app-build PipelineRun manifest for validation testing
- Successfully validated end-to-end pipeline:
✅ git-clone Task deployed and working
✅ kaniko-build Task deployed and working
✅ container-build Pipeline deployed and working
✅ Harbor authentication working with robot account
✅ Test image built and pushed: the-seas.local.mk-labs.cloud/library/test-app:v1.0.0
✅ Image digest: sha256:aa143f4a01795a1d307b711108ca0c89f36e00ea38fddb9d7b2febd5fffc46d7
Pipeline test results:
- PipelineRun: test-app-build-005 - SUCCEEDED
- fetch-repository TaskRun - SUCCEEDED
- build-and-push TaskRun - SUCCEEDED
Tekton CI/CD platform is now operational and ready for production workloads.
Updated README to reflect the full workflow:
1. Robot account creation via Job
2. Secret regeneration and capture
3. Storage in 1Password (harbor-robot-accounts item)
4. Automatic sync via ExternalSecrets to K8s
Creates two docker-registry secrets from 1Password:
1. harbor-tekton-robot - for Tekton CI/CD pipeline push/pull
2. harbor-pull-secret - for fastpass cluster image pulls
Both sync from 1Password item 'harbor-robot-accounts' with fields:
- tekton-builder-username / tekton-builder-password
- fastpass-cluster-username / fastpass-cluster-password
Credentials document placed in PKA inbox for manual 1Password entry.
Once stored, ESO will automatically sync and create the secrets.
Documents robot account management via GitOps:
- tekton-builder and fastpass-cluster robot accounts
- Manual Job execution (PostSync hooks don't work with multi-source)
- Credential retrieval and storage in 1Password
- ImagePullSecret creation for K8s clusters
DNS was pointing to Gateway (10.1.71.90) instead of NGINX Ingress (10.1.71.80)
after we removed the HTTPRoute manifests. This caused traffic to hit the
Gateway's wildcard cert and get 'no healthy upstream' errors.
Added external-dns annotations to Ingress to direct DNS to correct IP:
- external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/hostname: the-seas.local.mk-labs.cloud
- external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/target: 10.1.71.80
This will update Technitium DNS to point to NGINX Ingress Controller.
The configureUserSettings field contained nginx configuration
('http2_push_preload on;') which was incorrectly being used as
CONFIG_OVERWRITE_JSON. This caused harbor-core to crash with a
JSON parse error.
CONFIG_OVERWRITE_JSON expects valid JSON for Harbor configuration
overrides, not nginx snippets. Removing this field to fix the
CrashLoopBackOff.
- ExternalSecret now pulls only HARBOR_ADMIN_PASSWORD from 1Password
- Removed database, redis, core, jobservice, registry secret references
- Harbor Helm chart auto-generates all internal secrets (standard pattern)
- Reduces complexity and aligns with Harbor best practices
This change removes dependency on 5 1Password fields that should be deleted:
- database-password
- redis-password
- core-secret
- jobservice-secret
- registry-password
Only harbor-admin-password field needed in 1Password item 'the-seas'
Harbor Helm chart requires both existingSecret and existingSecretKey
parameters to properly reference credentials. Without the key names,
the chart creates secrets with empty passwords, causing authentication
failures between components.
Added:
- database.internal.existingSecretKey: DATABASE_PASSWORD
- redis.internal.existingSecretKey: REDIS_PASSWORD
The secretName parameter was being used as a literal secret name
'CORE_SECRET' which doesn't exist. This caused harbor-core pods to
fail mounting volumes.
The correct approach is to use existingSecret for credential keys,
and let Harbor manage its own internal secrets.
Harbor Helm chart expects 'secret' key not 'CORE_SECRET' for the
CORE_SECRET environment variable. This was causing jobservice pod
to fail with CreateContainerConfigError.
Fixes: harbor-jobservice-757bbf44cc-tvznq error
