- Add Transit mount + per-stack Transit keys to vault stack TF
- Auto-create sops-user-<name> policy scoping decrypt to owned stacks
- Auto-create sops-<name> external group + alias for Authentik mapping
- Add sops-admin policy to authentik-admins group
- Attach sops-user policy to namespace-owner identity entities
- Update add-user skill with SOPS onboarding steps and Authentik group
- Adding a user to k8s_users + applying vault stack = full SOPS access
[ci skip]
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.
Vault is now the sole source of truth for secrets. SOPS pipeline
removed entirely — auth via `vault login -method=oidc`.
Part A: SOPS removal
- vault/main.tf: delete 990 lines (93 vars + 43 KV write resources),
add self-read data source for OIDC creds from secret/vault
- terragrunt.hcl: remove SOPS var loading, vault_root_token, check_secrets hook
- scripts/tg: remove SOPS decryption, keep -auto-approve logic
- .woodpecker/default.yml: replace SOPS with Vault K8s auth via curl
- Delete secrets.sops.json, .sops.yaml
Part B: External Secrets Operator
- New stack stacks/external-secrets/ with Helm chart + 2 ClusterSecretStores
(vault-kv for KV v2, vault-database for DB engine)
Part C: Database secrets engine (in vault/main.tf)
- MySQL + PostgreSQL connections with static role rotation (24h)
- 6 MySQL roles (speedtest, wrongmove, codimd, nextcloud, shlink, grafana)
- 6 PostgreSQL roles (trading, health, linkwarden, affine, woodpecker, claude_memory)
Part D: Kubernetes secrets engine (in vault/main.tf)
- RBAC for Vault SA to manage K8s tokens
- Roles: dashboard-admin, ci-deployer, openclaw, local-admin
- New scripts/vault-kubeconfig helper for dynamic kubeconfig
K8s auth method with scoped policies for CI, ESO, OpenClaw, Woodpecker sync.
After node2 OOM incident, right-size memory across the cluster by setting
requests=limits based on max_over_time(container_memory_working_set_bytes[7d])
with 1.3x headroom. Eliminates ~37Gi overcommit gap.
Categories:
- Safe equalization (50 containers): set req=lim where max7d well within target
- Limit increases (8 containers): raise limits for services spiking above current
- No Prometheus data (12 containers): conservatively set lim=req
- Exception: nextcloud keeps req=256Mi/lim=8Gi due to Apache memory spikes
Also increased dbaas namespace quota from 12Gi to 16Gi to accommodate mysql
4Gi limits across 3 replicas.
- Set memory requests = limits across 56 stacks to prevent overcommit
- Right-sized limits based on actual pod usage (2x actual, rounded up)
- Scaled down trading-bot (replicas=0) to free memory
- Fixed OOMKilled services: forgejo, dawarich, health, meshcentral,
paperless-ngx, vault auto-unseal, rybbit, whisper, openclaw, clickhouse
- Added startup+liveness probes to calibre-web
- Bumped inotify limits on nodes 2,3 (max_user_instances 128->8192)
Post node2 OOM incident (2026-03-14). Previous kubelet config had no
kubeReserved/systemReserved set, allowing pods to starve the kernel.
- Replace semicolons with newlines in vault/main.tf variable blocks
(HCL does not support semicolons)
- Remove dependency "vault" from platform/terragrunt.hcl to break
cycle (vault already depends on platform)
- 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.
Configure Vault to use Authentik as OIDC identity provider for SSO login.
Creates OAuth2 provider/application in Authentik, adds OIDC auth backend,
admin policy, and maps "authentik Admins" group to full vault-admin access.
