Phase 3: all 27 platform modules now run as independent stacks.
Platform reduced to empty shell (outputs only) for backward compat
with 72 app stacks that declare dependency "platform".
Fixed technitium cross-module dashboard reference by copying file.
Woodpecker pipeline applies all 27+1 stacks in parallel via loop.
All applied with zero destroys.
Phase 2 of platform stack split. 5 more modules extracted into
independent stacks. All applied successfully with zero destroys.
Cloudflared now reads k8s_users from Vault directly to compute
user_domains. Woodpecker pipeline runs all 8 extracted stacks
in parallel. Memory bumped to 6Gi for 9 concurrent TF processes.
Platform reduced from 27 to 19 modules.
Phase 1 of platform stack split for parallel CI applies.
All 3 modules were fully independent (no cross-module refs).
State migrated via terraform state mv. All 3 stacks applied
with zero changes (dbaas had pre-existing ResourceQuota drift).
Woodpecker pipeline updated to run extracted stacks in parallel.
Vault DB engine rotates passwords weekly but 5 stacks baked passwords
at Terraform plan time, causing stale credentials until next apply.
- real-estate-crawler: add vault-database ESO, use secret_key_ref in 3 deployments
- nextcloud: switch Helm chart to existingSecret for DB password
- grafana: add vault-database ESO, use envFromSecrets in Helm values
- woodpecker: use extraSecretNamesForEnvFrom, remove plan-time data source chain
- affine: add vault-database ESO, use secret_key_ref in deployment + init container
Data-driven user onboarding: add a JSON entry to Vault KV k8s_users,
apply vault + platform + woodpecker stacks, and everything is auto-generated.
Vault stack: namespace creation, per-user Vault policies with secret isolation
via identity entities/aliases, K8s deployer roles, CI policy update.
Platform stack: domains field in k8s_users type, TLS secrets per user namespace,
user domains merged into Cloudflare DNS, user-roles ConfigMap mounted in portal.
Woodpecker stack: admin list auto-generated from k8s_users, WOODPECKER_OPEN=true.
K8s-portal: dual-track onboarding (general/namespace-owner), namespace-owner
dashboard with Vault/kubectl commands, setup script adds Vault+Terraform+Terragrunt,
contributing page with CI pipeline template, versioned image tags in CI pipeline.
New: stacks/_template/ with copyable stack template for namespace-owners.
SQLite backup via Online Backup API + copy of RSA keys,
attachments, sends, and config. 30-day retention with rotation.
Pod affinity ensures co-scheduling with vaultwarden for RWO PVC access.
SQLite on NFS causes DB corruption due to unreliable POSIX fcntl locking.
iSCSI provides a block device with a local filesystem where locking works
correctly. Same approach used for Redis, MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.
- Add vault provider to root terragrunt.hcl (generated providers.tf)
- Delete stacks/vault/vault_provider.tf (now in generated providers.tf)
- Add 124 variable declarations + 43 vault_kv_secret_v2 resources to
vault/main.tf to populate Vault KV at secret/<stack-name>
- Migrate 43 consuming stacks to read secrets from Vault KV via
data "vault_kv_secret_v2" instead of SOPS var-file
- Add dependency "vault" to all migrated stacks' terragrunt.hcl
- Complex types (maps/lists) stored as JSON strings, decoded with
jsondecode() in locals blocks
Bootstrap secrets (vault_root_token, vault_authentik_client_id,
vault_authentik_client_secret) remain in SOPS permanently.
Apply order: vault stack first (populates KV), then all others.
CPU limits cause CFS throttling even when nodes have idle capacity.
Move to a request-only CPU model: keep CPU requests for scheduling
fairness but remove all CPU limits. Memory limits stay (incompressible).
Changes across 108 files:
- Kyverno LimitRange policy: remove cpu from default/max in all 6 tiers
- Kyverno ResourceQuota policy: remove limits.cpu from all 5 tiers
- Custom ResourceQuotas: remove limits.cpu from 8 namespace quotas
- Custom LimitRanges: remove cpu from default/max (nextcloud, onlyoffice)
- RBAC module: remove cpu_limits variable and quota reference
- Freedify factory: remove cpu_limit variable and limits reference
- 86 deployment files: remove cpu from all limits blocks
- 6 Helm values files: remove cpu under limits sections
Adds Sealed Secrets (Bitnami) to the platform stack so cluster users can
encrypt secrets with a public key and commit SealedSecret YAMLs to git.
The in-cluster controller decrypts them into regular K8s Secrets.
- New module: sealed-secrets (namespace + Helm chart v2.18.3, cluster tier)
- k8s-portal setup script: adds kubeseal CLI install for Linux and Mac
Wire homepage_credentials tokens through platform stack to enable
live widgets for Authentik, Shlink (URL shortener), and Home Assistant
London. Update SOPS with new credential entries.
Phase 5 — CI pipelines:
- default.yml: add SOPS decrypt in prepare step, change git add . to
specific paths (stacks/ state/ .woodpecker/), cleanup on success+failure
- renew-tls.yml: change git add . to git add secrets/ state/
Phase 6 — sensitive=true:
- Add sensitive = true to 256 variable declarations across 149 stack files
- Prevents secret values from appearing in terraform plan output
- Does NOT modify shared modules (ingress_factory, nfs_volume) to avoid
breaking module interface contracts
Note: CI pipeline SOPS decryption requires sops_age_key Woodpecker secret
to be created before the pipeline will work with SOPS. Until then, the old
terraform.tfvars path continues to function.
P0: Set updateMaxFailure=-1 (fail-open)
Previously defaulted to 0 which blocked ALL traffic on first LAPI
failure. Now serves from cached decisions when LAPI is unreachable.
P1: Enable Redis cache for CrowdSec decisions
Decisions are now shared across all 3 Traefik replicas and survive
pod restarts. redisCacheUnreachableBlock=false prevents Redis from
becoming another SPOF.
P1: Add clientTrustedIPs for internal cluster traffic
Node CIDR (10.0.20.0/24) and pod CIDR (10.10.0.0/16) bypass
CrowdSec entirely, preventing internal cascade failures.
Secondary instance on a separate node replicates all zones from primary via
zone transfer. LoadBalancer routes DNS queries to both pods. PDB ensures at
least 1 DNS pod survives voluntary disruptions. Setup job automates zone
transfer enablement and secondary zone creation via Technitium REST API.
Add Vertical Pod Autoscaler (recommender, updater, admission-controller)
and Goldilocks dashboard to monitor resource recommendations across all
namespaces. Dashboard at goldilocks.viktorbarzin.me behind Authentik.
Remove the module "xxx" { source = "./module" } indirection layer
from all 66 service stacks. Resources are now defined directly in
each stack's main.tf instead of through a wrapper module.
- Merge module/main.tf contents into stack main.tf
- Apply variable replacements (var.tier -> local.tiers.X, renamed vars)
- Fix shared module paths (one fewer ../ at each level)
- Move extra files/dirs (factory/, chart_values, subdirs) to stack root
- Update state files to strip module.<name>. prefix
- Update CLAUDE.md to reflect flat structure
Verified: terragrunt plan shows 0 add, 0 destroy across all stacks.
Move all 88 service modules (66 individual + 22 platform) from
modules/kubernetes/<service>/ into their corresponding stack directories:
- Service stacks: stacks/<service>/module/
- Platform stack: stacks/platform/modules/<service>/
This collocates module source code with its Terragrunt definition.
Only shared utility modules remain in modules/kubernetes/:
ingress_factory, setup_tls_secret, dockerhub_secret, oauth-proxy.
All cross-references to shared modules updated to use correct
relative paths. Verified with terragrunt run --all -- plan:
0 adds, 0 destroys across all 68 stacks.
