jakman85andClaude Opus 5.5 92944486d1 feat(dns): publish public names as proxied CNAMEs to the Cloudflare Tunnel
gate / gate (pull_request) Successful in 45s
gate / conformance (pull_request) Skipped
Gateway target -> fc81938b-...cfargotunnel.com, --cloudflare-proxied globally,
L4 service publishers (unifi, crafty-mc) pinned DNS-only, Plex web UI and
Headlamp disowned (LAN/VPN-only). L0 internal-services-publish-no-public-dns
gains assertion (9) tying the Gateway target to the tunnel UUID, requiring
cloudflare-proxied=false on every service-source publisher, and keeping the
tunnel's 404 list and the unpublished set consistent. L2 dns-exposure fixture
opts out of proxying.

title: Public DNS via the Cloudflare Tunnel (Phase 2) — proxied CNAMEs, Plex/Headlamp LAN-only, L0 guard
---
## What changed
One atomic change, so the conformance guard lands with the DNS flip.
- `platform/gateway/gateway.yaml`: the shared Gateway's `external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/target`
is now the literal `fc81938b-5855-47f1-8a27-6286f56dda93.cfargotunnel.com` (was
`wan.${BASE_DOMAIN}`). Comment block rewritten.
- `platform/externaldns/helmrelease.yaml`: `extraArgs: [--cloudflare-proxied]` (global, because
v0.23.0 reads per-object `cloudflare-proxied` from the route/Service, never the Gateway). The
public-target comment block rewritten, including the prefix-regression risk.
- `apps/vms/unifi/50-service-l4.yaml`, `platform/crafty/service-l4.yaml`:
`external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/cloudflare-proxied: "false"` (L4 A records stay DNS-only). They
are the only `service`-source publishers in the tree and live (measured).
- Plex web UI LAN/VPN-only: `catalog/plex.yaml` `exposure: public` → `internal`; `apps/wave-0/plex.yaml`
re-rendered with the canonical command into a scratch dir and ONLY plex.yaml copied back. The
render diff is exactly +2 lines (`annotations: external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/controller: none`
on HTTPRoute plex-32400). No other golden moved, and nothing was onboarded (vm-demo/keycloak files
were not touched). ADVERTISE_IP, the L4 VIP .24 and `plex-remote.yaml` are untouched.
- Headlamp LAN/VPN-only: `controller: none` on the hand-authored `platform/headlamp/httproute.yaml`.
- `conformance/tests/l0-static/internal-services-publish-no-public-dns/check.sh`: header and
register prose updated; new assertion (9):
(9a) Gateway target == `<tunnel: from platform/cloudflared/config.yaml>.cfargotunnel.com`, and
`--cloudflare-proxied` is set; (9b) every `service`-source publisher has `cloudflare-proxied:
"false"` and no HTTPRoute opts out of proxying; (9c) no undisowned route names a hostname the
tunnel 404s, the only `service` publishers of a 404'd name are the declared L4 set
{unifi, crafty-mc}, and every disowned route's hostname IS 404'd by the tunnel (lists kept
consistent both ways); (9d) plex and headlamp pinned disowned. Its `chainsaw-test.yaml` gap prose
updated.
- `conformance/tests/l2-behavioral/dns-exposure/chainsaw-test.yaml`: fixture Service gets
`cloudflare-proxied: "false"`, else the global flag proxies it and the exact-IP poll fails.
- Docs: `platform/externaldns/ddns.yaml` header (wan. is WireGuard-only), `platform/externaldns/README.md`,
`platform/gateway/README.md`, `runbooks/plex-remote-access.md`, `runbooks/cloudflare-tunnel.md`
(Phase 2 done; operator step to close WAN tcp/80+443 and keep udp/51820 + tcp/32400; rotation
now also swaps the Gateway UUID; rollback path).
## What I verified
- external-dns v0.23.0 source, read at the tag: `source/gateway.go` takes target overrides from
`gw.Annotations` and provider-specific (incl. `cloudflare-proxied`) from the ROUTE's annotations;
`annotations.SetAnnotationPrefix` re-derives `CloudflarePrefix`, so the alpha-prefixed key is the
one read here; `provider/cloudflare` `shouldBeProxied` starts from `--cloudflare-proxied` and a
parsed `"false"` annotation overrides it.
- (8b) only forbids `annotation-prefix` / `enable-legacy-annotation-prefix` in extraArgs; a mutation
confirmed `--cloudflare-proxied` passes and `--annotation-prefix=x/` fails.
- The L0 check passes (116 assertions) and each new assertion FAILS on its mutation: Gateway target
back to wan (9a), flag removed (9a), unifi proxied "true" (9b), headlamp undisowned (9c,9d), plex
golden undisowned (9c,9d,(1)), jackett removed from the tunnel's 404 list (9c).
`cloudflared-ingress-rules` still passes; `render.py --selftest` PASS.
- Live, read-only (kubectl k3s-prod, ~23:55Z): 17 HTTPRoutes; the six internal apps carry
`controller: none`; plex and headlamp do not (yet); the only Services with an external-dns
hostname are crafty/crafty-l4-tcp and unifi/unifi-l4-tcp; Gateway target is currently
`wan.home.keithjackson.dev`.
- Toolbox gate result: see the PR description (rc and skipped stages quoted there).
## What I did NOT verify
- Anything after merge: that external-dns actually UPDATEs the eight public names to proxied CNAMEs
to the tunnel, DELETEs plex + headlamp and their TXT, and leaves unifi/crafty-mc/wan untouched.
Expected effect is listed in the PR; the PM must read external-dns logs and `dig @1.1.1.1`.
- A rendered HelmRelease: I read the chart 1.23.0 `templates/deployment.yaml` (a list `extraArgs`
is emitted item-by-item via `tpl . $ | quote`), but did not `helm template` it.
- kubectl OIDC from nodes: nodes resolve publicly, so `keycloak.` discovery/JWKS now goes through
Cloudflare + the tunnel. No `oidc-ca-file` is set (system roots), so the edge cert should validate,
but Cloudflare bot/WAF settings on that path are untested.
- RISK: if the annotation prefix stops being honoured at runtime again (11-07 incident class),
`target` is ignored and every name becomes a PROXIED A record at 192.168.2.20, while internal
names publish. Assertion (8) only keeps the tree and `values.annotationPrefix` consistent; it
cannot catch a controller that ignores the flag. No runtime alert exists for it.
- The router WAN 80/443 close is an operator step, not done. The Pi-hole wildcard trim is a later PR.
- Follow-up: spec requirement IDs for this (proposed R-DNS-04/05, R-SEC-04) once the spec ADR merges;
`platform/pm-agent/README.md` and a comment in `catalog/pihole.yaml` still describe the wan. CNAME.

- The `target` annotation is on the **shared Gateway** (`platform/gateway/gateway.yaml`), so it
applies to every route that publishes at all. `internal` routes (`controller: none`) still publish
nothing.
- `ddns.yaml` runs `favonia/cloudflare-ddns` in this namespace with the same `cloudflare-api-token`.
It detects the WAN IP through Cloudflare's trace endpoint, so the pod **must not** carry
`egress-class: vpn`.
- The `target` annotation is on the **shared Gateway** (`platform/gateway/gateway.yaml`); external-dns
reads it from the Gateway only, so it applies to every route that publishes at all. Its UUID must
equal `tunnel:` in `platform/cloudflared/config.yaml` (L0 check
`internal-services-publish-no-public-dns` (9a)).
- `--cloudflare-proxied` (HelmRelease `extraArgs`) orange-clouds every record by default — the only
practical lever, because v0.23.0 reads the per-object `cloudflare-proxied` annotation from the
route/Service, never the Gateway. **Every `service`-source publisher must carry
`external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/cloudflare-proxied: "false"`** (L4 ports cannot ride the HTTP
proxy); (9b) fails the gate otherwise.
- `internal` routes (`controller: none`) still publish nothing. Plex's web UI and Headlamp joined that
set on 2026-11-08 (LAN/VPN-only); the tunnel also 404s every such name (9c/9d).
- Public answers are Cloudflare anycast **A and AAAA** — Cloudflare's edge, not an origin address.
- LAN and pods resolve `*.home.keithjackson.dev` to the Gateway VIP via PiHole and CoreDNS
(split-horizon) and never use the public path.
- **Nodes resolve through public DNS** (`node_baseline_dns_servers`), so from a node, the apiserver's
OIDC issuer `keycloak.home.keithjackson.dev` resolves to the WAN IP. kubectl SSO therefore relies on
the router hairpinning (NAT reflection) WAN:443 back to the Gateway.
- **Nodes resolve through public DNS** (`node_baseline_dns_servers`), so from a node the apiserver's
OIDC issuer `keycloak.home.keithjackson.dev` now resolves to Cloudflare and its discovery/JWKS
fetches go through the tunnel (publicly trusted edge cert; no `oidc-ca-file` is configured). The
router NAT hairpin is no longer on that path.
Check: `dig +short @1.1.1.1 plex.home.keithjackson.dev` → `wan.home.keithjackson.dev.` then the WAN IP;

# Until 2026-10-03 every gateway-sourced record answered with the Gateway VIP (192.168.2.20,
# RFC1918), so nothing published here was reachable from the internet. Two facts constrained the
# fix, and both still hold:
# * `external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/target` is read in v0.21.0's gateway-httproute source ONLY
# from the GATEWAY (source/gateway.go: `overrides: annotations.TargetsFromTargetAnnotation(
# gw.Annotations)`) and from a ListenerSet listener — NEVER from an HTTPRoute. A target on the
# shared Gateway therefore moves EVERY gateway-sourced record at once.
# * The home WAN IP is residential and can change, so a literal IP in Git would rot.
# History: until 2026-10-03 every gateway-sourced record answered the Gateway VIP (RFC1918);
# from 2026-10-03 they were CNAMEs to `wan.${BASE_DOMAIN}` (DNS-only, the home WAN IP, with the
# router forwarding tcp/80+443 to the VIP). Both published an origin address of ours. Now:
# * platform/gateway/gateway.yaml sets `target: <tunnel-uuid>.cfargotunnel.com` on the shared
# Gateway. `target` is read in v0.23.0's gateway-httproute source ONLY from the GATEWAY
# (source/gateway.go: `overrides: annotations.TargetsFromTargetAnnotation(gw.Annotations)`),
# never from an HTTPRoute, so this one value moves every gateway-sourced record at once.
# * `--cloudflare-proxied` below orange-clouds every record by default. It is GLOBAL because
# that is the only practical lever: v0.23.0 reads the per-object `cloudflare-proxied`
# annotation from the ROUTE (or Service), never the Gateway (source/gateway.go:
# `annotations.ProviderSpecificAnnotations(annots)` with `annots := meta.Annotations` of the
# route), so a Gateway-level opt-in does not exist. A CNAME to cfargotunnel.com MUST be
# proxied — DNS-only it resolves to nothing routable — so "proxied by default" is the right
# default for this zone's gateway names.
# * The provider honours a per-object `"false"` over the global default (provider/cloudflare
# shouldBeProxied: ParseBool of the annotation overrides proxiedByDefault). The key it reads
# is `<annotationPrefix>cloudflare-proxied` (annotations.SetAnnotationPrefix re-derives
# CloudflarePrefix), i.e. `external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/cloudflare-proxied` here.
#
# THE `service` SOURCE MUST OPT OUT. The L4 LoadBalancers (crafty-mc, unifi) publish an A record
# at their own LB VIP; Cloudflare's proxy is HTTP(S)-only, so a proxied A for a game or UniFi
# inform port is broken by construction. Each carries `cloudflare-proxied: "false"` and stays
# DNS-only, exactly as before this change. conformance/tests/l0-static/
# internal-services-publish-no-public-dns (assertion 9b) FAILS on any `service`-source publisher
# without it, so a new L4 Service cannot silently become a proxied record.
#
# The operator's answers: (a) yes, ALL of them — the five `exposure: public` apps AND the admin
# UIs (auth, crafty, grafana, headlamp, the apex), which sit behind Keycloak / oauth2-proxy;
# (b) the address is kept current IN-CLUSTER. Implementation:
# * platform/gateway/gateway.yaml sets `target: wan.${BASE_DOMAIN}` on the shared Gateway, so
# each published name becomes a CNAME to that one hostname;
# * platform/externaldns/ddns.yaml (favonia/cloudflare-ddns) keeps `wan.${BASE_DOMAIN}` an A
# record at the current WAN IP. That record has no external-dns TXT registry entry, so this
# instance never owns or garbage-collects it.
# Internal services are unchanged: their routes carry `controller: none` (above), which is
# checked BEFORE the target is read, so they still publish nothing. The `service` source (the L4
# LoadBalancers crafty-mc, unifi) does not read the Gateway's annotation and still publishes its
# LB VIP. Whether those should go public is a separate, still-open question.
# checked BEFORE the target is read, so they still publish nothing. Plex's web UI and Headlamp

# external-dns TXT registry entry and is untouched; it now serves only WireGuard udp/51820.
#
# THE RISK THIS ADDS, AND WHAT GUARDS IT. If the annotation prefix ever stops being honoured
# again (the 2026-11-07 v0.23.0 incident), `target` is ignored and every name falls back to the
# Gateway's own address — and with this flag it would be published as a PROXIED A record at
# ${GATEWAY_VIP} (RFC1918; Cloudflare 1003/522s for every public name) while `controller: none`
# is also ignored and internal names publish. Assertion (8) of the L0 check above ties the

## The Plex web UI is LAN/VPN-only (2026-11-08)
When public DNS moved to the Cloudflare Tunnel (`runbooks/cloudflare-tunnel.md`, Phase 2), the
operator kept **Plex off the tunnel**. `catalog/plex.yaml` is now `exposure: internal`, so the
`plex.home.keithjackson.dev` route carries `external-dns ... controller: none` and its public record
is deleted; the tunnel also 404s `plex` and `plex-vip`. On the LAN (and over WireGuard) the web UI
at `https://plex.home.keithjackson.dev` works exactly as before through PiHole's split-horizon answer.
**Remote streaming is unaffected** — it never used that name. It is the path below: plex.tv hands
clients the `plex.direct` URL (`ADVERTISE_IP`) for the L4 VIP `192.168.2.24`, reached through the
WAN **tcp/32400** forward. That forward must stay open when the WAN 80/443 forwards are closed after
the tunnel cut-over. Remote users use app.plex.tv, not our hostname.
