The woodpecker server was crashing repeatedly with database authentication failures
because Vault rotates the database password every 24 hours, but the Helm release
had hardcoded the password into WOODPECKER_DATABASE_DATASOURCE at plan time.
Changes:
- Updated ExternalSecret to provide the full DATABASE_DATASOURCE URI dynamically
- Modified Helm values to use envFrom to inject the secret instead of hardcoding
- ExternalSecret refreshes every 15 minutes, automatically picking up rotated passwords
- Pod will auto-restart when secret changes (via reloader.stakater.com annotation)
- This eliminates the plan-time password snapshot that goes stale within 24h
The pod still has an unrelated image pull issue on k8s-node4 (containerd blob
corruption), but the database credentials mechanism is now correctly implemented.
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.
When both WOODPECKER_GITHUB and WOODPECKER_FORGEJO are enabled without
an explicit WOODPECKER_GITHUB_URL, the GitHub forge inherits the Forgejo
URL causing all GitHub API calls to hit forgejo.viktorbarzin.me with
GitHub OAuth credentials, resulting in 401 Unauthorized on repo add and
cron jobs. Also adds Forgejo forge variables to Terraform.
Drone CI has been fully replaced by Woodpecker CI at ci.viktorbarzin.me.
Destroys K8s resources (12), removes DNS records, NFS exports, Uptime Kuma
monitor, dashboard entry, and all code/doc references across 18 files.
