authentik/temporal DB users+databases were never provisioned (old helmfile hook
gone; db-init-job only made schemas in shared app DB). Adds managed.roles
(authentik/temporal login roles, passwords from basic-auth secrets) + Database CRs
(dedicated DBs owned by each role). Role secrets applied out-of-band (SOPS), not in
kustomize resources so data-schemas app doesn't choke on ciphertext.
- Create SOPS-encrypted cloudflared-secrets.enc.yaml with tunnel token
- Add Cloudflare vars to .env.example (CLOUDFLARE_CONNECTOR_TOKEN, ACCOUNT_ID, TUNNEL_ID, API_TOKEN)
- Document Phase 0 cloudflared-token Secret creation in BOOTSTRAP.md (manual step until CMP plugin wires it)
- Note: Cloudflare-side TCP routing (cp1.homelab -> 192.168.1.213:6443, etc.) must be configured manually in Zero Trust dashboard
Tunnel already deployed as ArgoCD Application in k8s/argocd/apps/60-applications.yaml (wave 8); this closes the missing Secret gap and documents the bootstrap path.
Consolidate three separate Forgejo Actions (argocd-sync, security-scan, validate-k8s) into single cluster-ci workflow for cleaner CI/CD pipeline with proper job sequencing and reduced auth overhead.
Add Terraform configuration for Talos cluster machine configs:
- Provider setup for Talos
- Centralized variables for CP and worker configs
- Template-based config generation for controlplane.yaml and worker-*.yaml
- Sensitive data separated in terraform.tfvars (gitignored)
- Local state tracking for infrastructure
Add MinIO Policies and Users via CRD alongside Buckets.
Resources now declarative:
- Bucket: riotpiao-models (versioning enabled)
- Policy: policy-ollama (scoped bucket access)
- User: user-ollama (service account for Ollama/LLM)
Access keys can be overridden via SOPS or kustomize overlays.
All MinIO resource creation now git-tracked and version controlled.
Phase 0 continuation: enable ArgoCD to decrypt SOPS-encrypted secrets on sync.
1. Update ArgoCD Helm values (terraform/argocd-bootstrap.tf):
- Add SOPS_AGE_KEY_FILE env var to repoServer
- Mount sops-age K8s Secret at /home/argocd/.sops
- Add ConfigManagementPlugin for SOPS (detects *.enc.yaml files)
2. Update encrypted secrets with real values:
- k8s/base/secrets.enc.yaml: encrypted with actual service credentials
- All secret values encrypted at rest in git
- ArgoCD decrypts on sync using K8s Secret + AGE key
Prerequisites:
- K8s Secret created: kubectl create secret generic sops-age -n argocd --from-file=keys.txt=/Users/rockliang/.sops/key.txt
- SOPS_AGE_KEY_FILE env var set in ArgoCD repoServer (done above)
Next: Phase 1 — migrate 9 hookless releases to ArgoCD + create Applications that reference encrypted secrets.
Phase 0 groundwork for helmfile→ArgoCD migration using SOPS (Secrets Operations):
1. Install SOPS + AGE encryption
- AGE key generated and stored locally at ~/.sops/key.txt
- Public key embedded in .sops.yaml for file encryption rules
2. Create K8s Secret for AGE private key
- kubectl: create secret generic sops-age -n argocd --from-file=keys.txt=~/.sops/key.txt
- ArgoCD will use this key to decrypt secrets at sync time
3. Encrypt initial secrets
- k8s/base/secrets.enc.yaml: AES256_GCM encrypted secrets for all services
- Placeholder values (will be replaced with real values per environment)
- Secrets never visible in git (encrypted at rest)
4. Configure SOPS
- .sops.yaml: creation rules for k8s/*/secrets.enc.yaml files
- All future secret files auto-encrypt on edit (sops -e)
Setup: Store AGE key as K8s Secret in argocd namespace:
export KUBECONFIG=cluster-config/kubeconfig
kubectl create secret generic sops-age -n argocd --from-file=keys.txt=~/.sops/key.txt
Next: Configure ArgoCD Helm plugin to decrypt secrets on sync (Phase 0 continuation).

Add IaC practice section to coding-standards.md:
- All infrastructure state via Terraform or Helm (never ad-hoc scripts)
- Clear division: Terraform owns helm releases/namespaces/storage/state
- Anti-pattern: split bucket definitions across multiple files
- Bootstrap-only exception: document one-time setup with rationale
Rationale: prevents state drift, credential duplication, and unclear ownership.
Migrate terraform state from local file to MinIO S3 bucket (terraform-state).
Backend config: https://minio-api.riotpiao.homelab.com (external endpoint).
State now persisted remotely, shared across team, safe for cluster rebuild.
Also added terraform-state bucket to MinIO managed buckets.
Import all live authentik resources (groups, users, oauth2 providers, applications)
into terraform state via authentik-generated.tf. Provider config in authentik-config.tf.
Resources are drift-free and match live cluster.
Add cilium CNI to bootstrap helm_release.for_each (1.19.5, kube-system).
Cilium was unmanaged (helmfile-only); now IaC-owned. Critical path for
cluster rebuild recovery. Adds cilium repo to helm-repositories.tf.
CoreDNS is Talos-bootstrapped and previously untracked except for its
ConfigMap. Pull the full live spec into one file as the single source of
truth, add topologySpreadConstraints so the 2 replicas don't land on the
same node. ScheduleAnyway (not DoNotSchedule) to avoid blocking scheduling
if a node is briefly unavailable.
