With Horde's distributed supervision, devices will automatically distribute ~25% per pod across all 4 replicas. Benefits: - 4x horizontal scaling for device monitoring and SNMP polling - Better fault tolerance (can lose 3 pods and still operate) - Automatic load balancing via consistent hashing - Each device still polls from exactly ONE pod (no duplicates) |

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
