k3s uses a config file k3s-kluster.yml, this file needs to be copied to /etc/rancher/k3s/config.yaml.

$ secret-tool lookup xdg:service pulumi | read -r PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE; export PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE
$ pulumi up

This is done by bootstraping a self-signed CA in the cluster using cert-manager, then manually create a certificate (BackendCertificate) for each service. This is implemented in base-cluster/certs.ts.

The outdated kubectl plugin can list all outdated images in the cluster.

The internal dashboard can be accessed by forward the internal traefik port

kubectl port-forward -n serving-system service/traefik-internal 9000:80

The dashboard is available at http://localhost:9000/dashboard/. Note that the trailing slash is important.

• • install cert-manager
    • • create issuer: cluster root CA
        • they read in cert on start up and will not monitor cert change in file system
          • nginx
          • dashboard
          • authelia
          • nextcloud nginx frontend
          • exim
          • syncthing-discosrv
        • • use Reloader to notify and reload internal services when cert reneal
    • • create issuer: let's encrypt
    • • manage cluster CA signed cert for dashboard
        • • use this cert for dashboard
        • • enable cert verify in traefik
• • always redirect http to https
• • investigate the usage of traefik IngressRoute CRD
    • no of too much improvement to worth it
• • static file serving
    • • mount host path pvc
• • install authelia
    • config traefik to use auth
    • protect dashboard with auth
• • why service name does not resolve even when under the same namespace? Have to use full name always
    • can not reproduce
• • Consider flux? (example: https://github.com/fluxcd/flux2-kustomize-helm-example)
    • need to disable k3s packaged helm-controller
    • no too much benefit than directly managing
• • nextcloud
• • use glob to build config map for all files in a directory
    • • rewrite resource to use initialize, which is async
• • use exim to consolidate email sending
    • • change authelia and nextcloud to use exim
    • • config exim to use TLS on 587
• • properly retain authelia user database. Currently it gets reset whenever it is redeployed
    • move mariadb in nextcloud to a shared service using statefulset
      • how does statefulset's pvc template works?
    • make authelia connect to mariadb instead of sqlite
• • run syncthing inside k8s
    • setup nodepv use juicefs now
    • • tcp forwarding for btsync
    • syncthing needs the follow certs
      • permanent cert for device ID (this seems can be self generated, needs testing)
        • how to import existing ones
      • regular svc cert for GUI https
    • manage the certs using cert-manager?
    • use the syncthing/syncthing docker image
    • • syncthing-discorv needs cert-unlimited-code.works
        • • there's also syncthing/discorv image
    • maybe not possible? maybe just deploy syncthing and etc as NodeIP Service
• • run hath inside k8s
    • note the open port
• • check nofile: sudo lsof | awk '{print $1 $2}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tee ~/lsof.txt
• • load sealed secret from yaml file
• • consolidate all image/version into main index.ts for easier updating
• • add jellyfin
    • should run on aetf-laptop only
• • add navidrome
    • keep music library on aetf-laptop
    • expose webservice
    • this supports Authelia forward header auth: navidrome/navidrome#1152
    • the subsonic API has its own auth and must not be protected by authelia: navidrome/navidrome#1189
    • use substreamer on android

• • traefik websocket for jupyter
    • should be supported out of box
    • need testing
• • use Ed25519 for dkim key
• • replace nextcloud with dufs
    • protect this with http basic auth, using authelia, see authelia/authelia#1563
• • renew leaf certificates when the ca cert is renewed
    • currently this has be done manually: k cert-manager renew -A -l 'unlimited-code.works/cert-type=backend'
    • Maybe trigger a script after renew: https://github.com/Werkspot/k8s-event-listener
    • See cert-manager/cert-manager#2478
    • See cert-manager/cert-manager#4344
• • Explore using linkerd2 service mesh to implement frontend <-> backend mTLS communication
    • The trust anchor can be set to never expire for our simple setup (not recommended through), then cert-manager can be completely removed if
      • frontend certs (let's encrypt certs) managed by traefik directly
      • or disable most cert-manager components just use it for misc certs
    • certificate rotation and ca distribution is handled by linkerd2 and there will be no issue of rotation
• • manage custom images on AWS ECR (it has a free tier)
    • See use pulumi to build, publish and consume the image: https://www.pulumi.com/blog/build-publish-containers-iac/
