oauth2-proxy is a leaf forward-auth service that depends on Keycloak + trusted wildcard TLS + split-horizon DNS. It lived in the gating `platform` Flux Kustomization (wait:true), so on a cold start it Failed until those dependencies existed, keeping the whole `platform` tier not-Ready. That in turn blocked `platform-config` — which brings up the very Keycloak instance, wildcard Certificate and L2 VIP oauth2-proxy needs (and previously carried oauth2-proxy's own httproute/servicemonitor) — from ever reconciling. A self-gating cold-start deadlock, twice-proven (DECISIONS-LOG sessions 7 & 9). Break the cycle by moving the whole oauth2-proxy component out of the `platform` tier into its own non-gating post-platform Flux Kustomization: - clusters/base/oauth2-proxy.yaml: new Kustomization -> ./platform/oauth2-proxy, dependsOn platform-config, wait:false, substituteFrom cluster-vars. - clusters/base/kustomization.yaml: reference the new Kustomization. - platform/kustomization.yaml: drop the oauth2-proxy component (no longer in the gating tier). - platform/oauth2-proxy/kustomization.yaml: pull in httproute + servicemonitor so the full component travels together. - platform-config/kustomization.yaml: drop the in-place oauth2-proxy httproute/servicemonitor refs (moved with the controller). - clusters/dev/kustomization.yaml: add the SOPS decryption patch for the new oauth2-proxy Kustomization (it now owns the encrypted credentials Secret that the `platform` Kustomization used to decrypt). Now `platform` reaches Ready without oauth2-proxy; platform-config brings up Keycloak/TLS/DNS; then oauth2-proxy reconciles against dependencies that already exist. wait:false guarantees its health can never gate anything above it. No config of oauth2-proxy itself changed — only its reconciliation tier. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <[email protected]>
platform/oauth2-proxy
oauth2-proxy — forward-auth at the Gateway for apps without usable OIDC, authenticating against Keycloak.
- Governing ADR: ADR-0014 — IdP: Keycloak
- Spec: docs/15 — Identity & Access
- Serves: R-IDP-01..06 (esp. R-IDP-02: management UIs never unauthenticated)
- Owner: WS-SEC (Gateway wiring shared with WS-NET)
What this stub is
Flux HelmRelease for oauth2-proxy as the forward-auth provider for non-OIDC apps (PiHole, *arr UIs,
qBittorrent, Homepage, Prometheus, Alertmanager, Hubble UI — ADR-0014). Replica count is an overlay
knob (${OAUTH2_PROXY_REPLICAS}, R-ENV-02). Client/cookie secrets referenced by name,
SOPS-encrypted (WS-SEC).
Contract (SSO/auth + Gateway)
Pairs with ../keycloak to realize the "SSO/auth contract": a ServiceDefinition auth: forward-auth service is protected by oauth2-proxy at the Gateway (ext-auth); auth: oidc services go
native to Keycloak. Gateway ext-auth wiring is a WS-NET contract.
TODO (later phases — Phase 6)
- OIDC issuer URL to the Keycloak realm; client registration.
- Gateway forward-auth / ext-authz wiring (WS-NET); group-based authorization; MFA enforced in Keycloak upstream.
