Remove secretGenerator from kustomization for GitOps compatibility
Secrets are now managed directly in the cluster rather than generated
from .envrc files. This fixes FluxCD reconciliation errors since .envrc
is gitignored and cannot be used in GitOps workflows.

All secrets have been backed up to 1Password for disaster recovery.

Secrets Management

Secrets are managed directly in the cluster and must be created before deploying the application.

Required secrets in the towerops namespace:

  • gitlab-registry - Docker registry credentials for pulling images
  • towerops-secrets - Application secrets (RELEASE_COOKIE, SECRET_KEY_BASE)
  • towerops-db - Database connection credentials
  • towerops-aws - AWS credentials (AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_REGION)

For local development, the project root .envrc is used by direnv.

Deploying

Apply all resources using kustomize:

kubectl apply -k k8s/

Or individually:

kubectl apply -f k8s/namespace.yaml
kubectl apply -f k8s/secret.yaml
kubectl apply -f k8s/deployment.yaml
kubectl apply -f k8s/service.yaml
kubectl apply -f k8s/service-headless.yaml
kubectl apply -f k8s/certificate.yaml
kubectl apply -f k8s/ingressroute.yaml
