Changes: - Added startupProbe to towerops container to allow up to 70s for startup (gives Valkey sidecar time to be ready) - Changed REDIS_HOST from 'localhost' to '127.0.0.1' for explicit loopback - Removed initialDelaySeconds from liveness/readiness probes (handled by startup) - Added comment clarifying Redis connects to Valkey sidecar This ensures the app waits for Valkey to be ready before accepting traffic. |

Kubernetes Deployment
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 imagestowerops-secrets- Application secrets (RELEASE_COOKIE, SECRET_KEY_BASE)towerops-db- Database connection credentialstowerops-aws- AWS credentials (AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_REGION)
For local development, the project root .envrc is used by direnv.
Deployment Timestamp
The application footer displays the deployment timestamp to track when the current version was deployed. This is automatically set by GitLab CI during deployment:
# GitLab CI sets this during deploy
- kubectl set env deployment/towerops DEPLOY_TIMESTAMP=$(date -u +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ") -n towerops
All pods in the deployment share the same timestamp (when the deployment was initiated), regardless of when individual pods were created. This is displayed in the footer as "Last deployed X ago · YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS UTC".
For manual deployments without GitLab CI, set the timestamp:
kubectl set env deployment/towerops DEPLOY_TIMESTAMP=$(date -u +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ") -n towerops
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
