jakman85 b184a42729 merge: internal services stop advertising themselves in public DNS
Six exposure:internal services published A records into the public Cloudflare
zone answering 192.168.2.20, disclosing the internal subnet, the Gateway VIP
and a full service inventory, and forming a DNS-rebind primitive that is why
the SOHO router strips these answers in the first place.

The renderer now stamps external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/controller: none on
every HTTPRoute it renders for an internal service, derived from the exposure
field alone — so a service that omits exposure defaults to internal and is
likewise unpublishable. Established against the deployed v0.21.0's own source,
where the controller check runs before hostname resolution in both configured
sources, then proven live on a throwaway hostname including that adding the
annotation to an existing record triggers the DELETE.

Deletes exactly 12 records: the A and TXT pair for jackett, pihole,
qbittorrent, radarr, semaphore and sonarr. A 39-record recovery baseline is
committed alongside.

Safe to land before the DHCP change, contrary to my earlier caution: the
router returns NOTHING for all six names today, so these records serve nobody
on the LAN, while Pi-hole at 192.168.2.23 already answers for anyone pointed
at it.

The five exposure:public services are untouched. They remain unreachable
publicly, which is a separate problem: the legacy edge at 136.51.115.252
returns HTTP 403 for our hostnames and serves a placeholder certificate, so
nothing is reverse-proxying them today.

catalog — ServiceDefinition entries (the onboarding surface)

One YAML file per service. Each file is a ServiceDefinition conforming to ../schemas/servicedefinition.schema.json. Adding or editing a service here is the only onboarding step — the platform renders compute, storage, network policy, egress, TLS, DNS, monitoring, and update policy from it (see ../schemas/renderer-contract.md). Serves R-GITOPS-02.

Source of truth for the initial catalog: spec docs/13-service-catalog.md (14-service table + SSO/egress/dependency intent).

Current examples

File docs/13 row exposure egress auth Notes
pihole.yaml 6 internal internet forward-auth admin UI behind oauth2-proxy; config on Longhorn (DR-critical); also platform DNS
keycloak.yaml 0 public internet native the IdP itself (own admin login + MFA); PostgreSQL on Longhorn; DR-critical

The remaining catalog services (plex, sonarr, radarr, jackett, seerr, nextcloud, minecraft, unifi, semaphore, kasm, gitea, qbittorrent) are onboarded in later phases; they follow the same schema and inherit every guarantee automatically.

Authoring rules

  • Only name and source are mandatory; every other field defaults to docs/13's default posture (kind: container, exposure: internal, egress: internet, auth.mode: forward-auth, stable auto-update, DNS-only default-deny). Set a field only to override the default.
  • Any exposed UI must have an auth block: forward-auth (default) or oidc, each with a non-empty auth.groups; native/none are documented exceptions only.
  • Irreplaceable state (class: longhorn configs/DBs) must set backup.policy to an off-cluster schedule — never reacquirable (R-STATE-03). Only bulk media may be reacquirable.
  • Shell braces must be escaped $${...}. Anything rendered verbatim onto the workload — a lifecycle postStart script, an env value — lands under apps/wave-<N>/, and every apps-wave-<N> Flux Kustomization declares postBuild.substituteFrom: cluster-vars. Flux runs envsubst over the WHOLE manifest at reconcile time, so an unescaped ${VAR:-} meant for the shell is replaced with the empty string before the container ever starts (this silently killed gitea's and nextcloud's OIDC registration for days). Bare $VAR and $(cmd) are left alone and need no escaping; a genuine environment knob is declared in clusters/base/cluster-vars.yaml and written bare ${KNOB}. Full contract: ../clusters/base/apps-vms.yaml. render.py REFUSES to emit a manifest that breaks this rule (Flux's strict substitution mode cannot: it deliberately exempts the ${V:-} / ${V:=x} / ${V:?} default-operator forms).

Validate before commit — single command, no cluster (R-TEST-02)

check-jsonschema --schemafile schemas/servicedefinition.schema.json catalog/*.yaml

See ../schemas/README.md for install/pinning and a pure-Python fallback. This is the L0/L1 schema gate (spec docs/14); CI (.gitea/) runs it on every change.

Rendering — render.py (the ServiceDefinition renderer, T-0.3)

render.py compiles a ServiceDefinition into the concrete manifest set defined by ../schemas/renderer-contract.md: a Namespace (with the app-namespace/gateway-access labels), the default-deny baseline (R-NET-01), a Deployment+Service or a KubeVirt VirtualMachine + CDI DataVolume (R-PLAT-02/03), PVCs (R-STATE), one CiliumNetworkPolicy egress-allow per dependency (R-NET-02), the egress-class steering label (R-NET-05), HTTPRoute(s) on the shared Gateway (R-TLS/R-DNS), ServiceMonitor + SLI alerts (R-OBS-01), the Flux ImageRepository/ImagePolicy update plumbing (R-UPD), and the auth-mode / backup wiring hints (R-IDP/R-STATE-03).

python3 catalog/render.py catalog/pihole.yaml        # render one SD to stdout
python3 catalog/render.py --all catalog -o out/      # render every SD to out/<name>.yaml
python3 catalog/render.py --selftest                 # deterministic self-test (no cluster)
  • Deterministic: identical input → byte-identical output (golden-diffable). The L1 render conformance tests (conformance/tests/l1-rendering/*) diff the output against committed goldens — run offline by conformance/run.sh --layer l1 and ci/l1.sh (no cluster).
  • How CI/Flux consume it: CI invokes render.py in the L1 stage; a GitOps flow renders --all catalog -o <rendered-dir> and Flux reconciles the rendered directory. Design choice (renderer-contract is silent on mechanism): a render-then-consume script is the simplest reproducible option — see the header of render.py.
  • Dependency: PyYAML (the renderer's single dependency; the conformance harness stays stdlib-only and only shells out to this script + diffs text).
