feat: add FluxCD image automation, fix Preseem duplicate AP crash
Switch deployment pipeline from GitLab Agent kubectl to FluxCD image
automation. CI now only builds and pushes tagged images to Forgejo
registry; FluxCD detects new tags and updates the deployment manifest.

Fix Ecto.MultipleResultsError on /dashboard when a device has multiple
Preseem access point records by using limit(1) instead of Repo.get_by.

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 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.

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
