# Kubernetes Configuration Review and Fixes
|
||||
|
||||
## Date: December 5, 2025
|
||||
|
||||
## Summary
|
||||
|
||||
Comprehensive review and fixes applied to all Kubernetes deployment configurations in `/deploy/k8s/` directory to address namespace configuration, missing resources, environment variables, and other configuration issues.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Issues Fixed
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. **HIGH PRIORITY - Namespace Configuration**
|
||||
|
||||
#### Issue
|
||||
- No `namespace.yaml` file existed
|
||||
- No namespace specified in any resource metadata
|
||||
- Documentation described manifests as "namespace-agnostic" which was error-prone
|
||||
|
||||
#### Resolution
|
||||
- ✅ **Created** `namespace.yaml` to create `adopt-a-street` namespace
|
||||
- ✅ **Added** `namespace: adopt-a-street` to all resource metadata in:
|
||||
- `backend-deployment.yaml` (Service and Deployment)
|
||||
- `frontend-deployment.yaml` (Service and Deployment)
|
||||
- `couchdb-statefulset.yaml` (Service and StatefulSet)
|
||||
- `configmap.yaml`
|
||||
- `secrets.yaml.example`
|
||||
- `image-pull-secret.yaml`
|
||||
- `ingress.yaml`
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. **MEDIUM PRIORITY - Duplicate Registry Secret Files**
|
||||
|
||||
#### Issue
|
||||
- Two files creating the same secret `regcred`:
|
||||
- `image-pull-secret.yaml` (template with placeholders)
|
||||
- `registry-secret.yaml` (actual credentials - security risk!)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Resolution
|
||||
- ✅ **Deleted** `registry-secret.yaml` (contained actual credentials)
|
||||
- ✅ **Kept** `image-pull-secret.yaml` as template
|
||||
- ✅ **Updated** documentation to guide users on creating the secret properly
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. **MEDIUM PRIORITY - CouchDB NODENAME Configuration**
|
||||
|
||||
#### Issue
|
||||
- `couchdb-statefulset.yaml` line 71 had incorrect NODENAME format:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
value: couchdb@0.adopt-a-street-couchdb # INCORRECT
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Should follow StatefulSet pod naming: `<statefulset-name>-<ordinal>.<service-name>`
|
||||
|
||||
#### Resolution
|
||||
- ✅ **Fixed** NODENAME to proper format:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
value: couchdb@adopt-a-street-couchdb-0.adopt-a-street-couchdb
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. **MEDIUM PRIORITY - Missing Environment Variables**
|
||||
|
||||
#### Issue
|
||||
Missing environment variables required by `backend/.env.example`:
|
||||
- CouchDB connection pool settings
|
||||
- Stripe configuration (both secret and publishable keys)
|
||||
- OpenAI API configuration
|
||||
|
||||
#### Resolution
|
||||
- ✅ **Added to `configmap.yaml`** (non-sensitive values):
|
||||
- `COUCHDB_MAX_CONNECTIONS: "10"`
|
||||
- `COUCHDB_REQUEST_TIMEOUT: "30000"`
|
||||
- `STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY: "your-stripe-publishable-key"`
|
||||
- `OPENAI_MODEL: "gpt-3.5-turbo"`
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ **Added to `secrets.yaml.example`** (sensitive values):
|
||||
- `STRIPE_SECRET_KEY: "your-stripe-secret-key"`
|
||||
- `OPENAI_API_KEY: "your-openai-api-key"`
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. **LOW PRIORITY - Duplicate Cloudinary Variables**
|
||||
|
||||
#### Issue
|
||||
- Cloudinary variables duplicated in both `configmap.yaml` and `secrets.yaml.example`
|
||||
- `CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME` and `CLOUDINARY_API_KEY` in both locations
|
||||
|
||||
#### Resolution
|
||||
- ✅ **Removed** `CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME` from `secrets.yaml.example` (kept in ConfigMap)
|
||||
- ✅ **Removed** `CLOUDINARY_API_KEY` comment from ConfigMap
|
||||
- ✅ **Organized** properly:
|
||||
- **ConfigMap**: `CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME` (non-sensitive)
|
||||
- **Secrets**: `CLOUDINARY_API_KEY`, `CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET` (sensitive)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. **LOW PRIORITY - Unused CouchDB ConfigMap**
|
||||
|
||||
#### Issue
|
||||
- `couchdb-configmap.yaml` defined a ConfigMap but it was never mounted
|
||||
- CouchDB configuration generated inline via shell script in StatefulSet
|
||||
|
||||
#### Resolution
|
||||
- ✅ **Deleted** `couchdb-configmap.yaml` (unused file)
|
||||
- Configuration approach remains inline in `couchdb-statefulset.yaml` (lines 102-124)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 7. **MEDIUM PRIORITY - Documentation Updates**
|
||||
|
||||
#### Issue
|
||||
- `DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md` described namespace-agnostic approach
|
||||
- Instructions required manual namespace specification with `-n` flag
|
||||
- No clear guidance on default namespace
|
||||
|
||||
#### Resolution
|
||||
- ✅ **Updated** `DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md` with:
|
||||
- Clear explanation that `adopt-a-street` is the default namespace
|
||||
- Step-by-step deployment process including namespace creation
|
||||
- Updated all example commands to use default namespace
|
||||
- Comprehensive environment variables documentation
|
||||
- Multi-environment deployment guidance
|
||||
- Updated troubleshooting commands

## Configuration Summary
|
||||
|
||||
### Namespace Structure
|
||||
All resources now deploy to the `adopt-a-street` namespace by default. Alternative namespaces can still be used by overriding at deploy time.
|
||||
|
||||
### ConfigMap Variables (`configmap.yaml`)
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# CouchDB
|
||||
COUCHDB_URL: "http://adopt-a-street-couchdb:5984"
|
||||
COUCHDB_DB_NAME: "adopt-a-street"
|
||||
COUCHDB_MAX_CONNECTIONS: "10"
|
||||
COUCHDB_REQUEST_TIMEOUT: "30000"
|
||||
|
||||
# Application
|
||||
PORT: "5000"
|
||||
NODE_ENV: "production"
|
||||
FRONTEND_URL: "http://adopt-a-street.local"
|
||||
|
||||
# Integrations (non-sensitive)
|
||||
CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME: "your-cloudinary-cloud-name"
|
||||
STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY: "your-stripe-publishable-key"
|
||||
OPENAI_MODEL: "gpt-3.5-turbo"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Secret Variables (`secrets.yaml.example`)
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Authentication
|
||||
JWT_SECRET: "your-jwt-secret"
|
||||
|
||||
# CouchDB
|
||||
COUCHDB_USER: "admin"
|
||||
COUCHDB_PASSWORD: "admin"
|
||||
COUCHDB_SECRET: "couchdb-secret"
|
||||
|
||||
# Integrations (sensitive)
|
||||
CLOUDINARY_API_KEY: "your-api-key"
|
||||
CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET: "your-api-secret"
|
||||
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY: "your-stripe-secret"
|
||||
OPENAI_API_KEY: "your-openai-key"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Deployment Process
|
||||
|
||||
### Quick Start (Recommended)
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Create namespace
|
||||
kubectl apply -f deploy/k8s/namespace.yaml
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Create secrets file from example
|
||||
cp deploy/k8s/secrets.yaml.example deploy/k8s/secrets.yaml
|
||||
# Edit secrets.yaml with actual values
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Create image pull secret
|
||||
kubectl create secret docker-registry regcred \
|
||||
--docker-server=gitea-gitea-http.taildb3494.ts.net \
|
||||
--docker-username=will \
|
||||
--docker-password=YOUR_PASSWORD \
|
||||
--namespace=adopt-a-street
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Apply all configurations
|
||||
kubectl apply -f deploy/k8s/
|
||||
|
||||
# 5. Verify deployment
|
||||
kubectl get all -n adopt-a-street
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Verification
|
||||
|
||||
### Health Checks
|
||||
All health check endpoints verified:
|
||||
- ✅ Backend: `/api/health` exists in `backend/server.js:150`
|
||||
- ✅ Frontend: `/health` exists in `frontend/nginx.conf:14`
|
||||
- ✅ CouchDB: `/_up` (standard CouchDB endpoint)
|
||||
|
||||
### Service Discovery
|
||||
All service references verified:
|
||||
- ✅ ConfigMap references `adopt-a-street-couchdb:5984`
|
||||
- ✅ Ingress routes to `adopt-a-street-backend:5000` and `adopt-a-street-frontend:80`
|
||||
- ✅ Backend references ConfigMap `adopt-a-street-config` and Secret `adopt-a-street-secrets`
|
||||

|
||||
## Testing Checklist
|
||||
|
||||
Before deploying to production:
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Update `secrets.yaml` with actual secure values
|
||||
- [ ] Generate secure passwords using `openssl rand -base64 32`
|
||||
- [ ] Create image pull secret with actual Gitea credentials
|
||||
- [ ] Update `configmap.yaml` with actual Cloudinary cloud name
|
||||
- [ ] Update `ingress.yaml` with actual domain name
|
||||
- [ ] Verify storage class for CouchDB persistent volumes
|
||||
- [ ] Test deployment in development namespace first
|
||||
- [ ] Verify all pods reach Ready state
|
||||
- [ ] Test health endpoints
|
||||
- [ ] Verify CouchDB persistence after pod restart
|
||||
- [ ] Test ingress routing
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Security Notes
|
||||
|
||||
1. **secrets.yaml** is in `.gitignore` - never commit to version control
|
||||
2. All production passwords should be generated with `openssl rand -base64 32`
|
||||
3. Image pull secrets contain credentials - handle securely
|
||||
4. Default CouchDB credentials are placeholders - MUST be changed for production
|
||||
5. Removed `registry-secret.yaml` which contained actual credentials
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Architecture Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Resource Placement
|
||||
- **CouchDB**: Required on ARM64 nodes (Pi 5) - uses `requiredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution`
|
||||
- **Backend**: Preferred on ARM64 nodes (Pi 5) - uses `preferredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution`
|
||||
- **Frontend**: No node affinity (lightweight, can run anywhere)
|
||||
|
||||
### Storage
|
||||
- CouchDB uses StatefulSet with `volumeClaimTemplates`
|
||||
- 10Gi persistent storage per CouchDB pod
|
||||
- Storage class can be specified in `couchdb-statefulset.yaml:135`
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Next Steps (Optional)
|
||||
|
||||
Consider adding these resources for production:
|
||||
1. **NetworkPolicy** - Restrict pod-to-pod communication
|
||||
2. **HorizontalPodAutoscaler** - Auto-scale based on metrics
|
||||
3. **PodDisruptionBudget** - Ensure availability during updates
|
||||
4. **ServiceAccount** - Dedicated service accounts per component
|
||||
5. **ResourceQuota** - Limit namespace resource usage
|
||||
6. **LimitRange** - Default resource limits for pods
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Rollback Plan
|
||||
|
||||
If issues occur after deployment:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Delete all resources
|
||||
kubectl delete -f deploy/k8s/
|
||||
|
||||
# Or delete namespace (removes everything)
|
||||
kubectl delete namespace adopt-a-street
|
||||
|
||||
# Revert to previous configuration
|
||||
git checkout HEAD~1 deploy/k8s/
|
||||
kubectl apply -f deploy/k8s/
|
||||
```
|
||||
