jakman85andClaude Opus 4.8 1749603f87 feat(homepage): apex landing dashboard at home.keithjackson.dev
Deploy Homepage (gethomepage) as the apex landing dashboard aggregating
links to cluster services, in its OWN non-gating post-platform Flux
Kustomization (clusters/base/homepage.yaml, dependsOn platform-config,
wait:false) — mirrors headlamp/oauth2-proxy so a leaf UI can never gate
the platform chain.

- platform/homepage/: plain manifests (ns, config ConfigMap, Deployment,
  Service, default-deny+Cilium ingress NP, apex HTTPRoute). Non-root pod,
  HOMEPAGE_ALLOWED_HOSTS, bundled mdi-* icons (DNS-only egress).
- gateway.yaml: add https-apex + http-apex-redirect listeners for the bare
  apex (the *.home wildcard listener does NOT match it). Apex is already a
  SAN on the wildcard cert — no new Certificate.
- Forward-auth annotated (auth-mode=forward-auth) but NOT enforced: the
  Gateway ext-authz mechanism is an unbuilt Phase-6 WS-NET TODO (same status
  as all other forward-auth apps). Flagged as PM follow-up.

Gate: lint/l0/render-golden(10/10)/l1 green; conformance skipped (no cluster).

platform/homepage

Homepage (gethomepage) — the apex landing dashboard at https://home.keithjackson.dev, aggregating links to the cluster's services.

  • Serves: a single pane of glass for the homelab (docs/09 apex UI).
  • Tier: non-gating post-platform Flux Kustomization (clusters/base/homepage.yaml, dependsOn: platform-config, wait: false) — mirrors headlamp / oauth2-proxy. A leaf UI must never gate the platform tier (DECISIONS-LOG "Headlamp gating stall").
  • Namespace: homepage — a PLATFORM namespace (no app-namespace=true), so the Kyverno app-scoped policies (default-deny gen, auth-mode, egress-class) do not apply; we ship an explicit default-deny + Cilium ingress policy as defense-in-depth.

What this component owns

Plain manifests (not a HelmRelease — the app is one stateless Deployment + a config ConfigMap):

File Purpose
namespace.yaml homepage ns, gateway-access=shared
configmap.yaml Homepage config (settings/services/bookmarks/widgets + empty docker/kubernetes + custom.css/js)
deployment.yaml ghcr.io/gethomepage/homepage (non-root, subPath config mounts, HOMEPAGE_ALLOWED_HOSTS)
service.yaml ClusterIP 80 -> 3000
networkpolicy.yaml default-deny (DNS-only egress) + Cilium Gateway-only ingress on 3000
httproute.yaml apex ingress on the Gateway https-apex listener

Apex nuances (why this isn't just another *.home route)

  1. TLS: the apex home.keithjackson.dev is already a SAN on the wildcard Certificate (platform/gateway/wildcard-certificate.yaml) — no new cert.
  2. Gateway listener: the wildcard listeners' hostname *.home.keithjackson.dev does not match the bare apex. This component's route binds a dedicated https-apex listener added to the shared Gateway (platform/gateway/gateway.yaml); http-apex-redirect covers :80.
  3. HOMEPAGE_ALLOWED_HOSTS: Homepage >= 1.0 returns 403 for any Host not in this list — set to home.keithjackson.dev + the pod IP (for kubelet probes).

Forward-auth — FOLLOW-UP (not yet enforced)

The HTTPRoute is annotated auth-mode: forward-auth (intended posture: oauth2-proxy -> Keycloak). The Gateway ext-authz attachment that actually enforces forward-auth does not exist yet — it is a Phase-6 WS-NET TODO (platform/oauth2-proxy is the authenticator; there is no CiliumEnvoyConfig / ext-authz wiring anywhere in the repo). Until that mechanism lands, Homepage — like every other forward-auth app (jackett, qbittorrent, pihole, radarr, sonarr) — is reachable unauthenticated. When the Gateway ext-authz pattern is built, attach it to this route (and the others) with allowed-groups: platform-admins. PM decision flagged in the deploy report.

Deliberately deferred (avoid scope creep)

  • Service-status widgets (Grafana/Plex/Sonarr/… API tiles) need per-service API-key secrets — not wired; tiles are simple links. Add as SOPS secrets + widgets.yaml later.
  • Kubernetes widget would need a read-only ServiceAccount + RBAC — skipped (kubernetes.yaml empty, automountServiceAccountToken: false).
  • Brand icons (selfh.st/dashboard-icons) need world:443 egress — we use bundled mdi-* icons so egress stays DNS-only.
