Repo role: customer deploy of knoe-db

This working tree (prole) is being converged into a customer-deploy branch of the upstream platform repo knoe-db (remote: git@git-ssh.knoe.dev:knoe.dev/knoe-db.git, configured here as the knoe remote). Platform code — authority/, knoe/, etc/init_*.sh, deploy/gcp/gke/*, the test pipeline — is not maintained in this repo; its source of truth is knoe-db/main. Customer-specific divergence (config, branding, on-prem prole.org manifests) is what stays on the customer branch.

Before changing anything in this tree, check whether the change belongs upstream. If it's platform code, land it on knoe-db/main and rebase the customer branch.

Active plans

  • docs/plans/customer-deploy-resync.md — The active plan for converging prole onto knoe-db/main as a customer-deploy branch. Inventory + cherry-pick + rebase cadence. Read this first if you are about to touch anything in this tree.
  • docs/plans/README.md — Index and conventions for this directory.

For platform-level plans (knoe-auth, deployment modes, etc.), read knoe-db/docs/plans/ (path relative to your ~/dev/ root). Those documents are the architectural reference for the shipped platform features and are versioned with the upstream code, not here.


Dual-cluster GKE architecture

This project uses two separate GKE Standard clusters in us-west3, both currently provisioned with e2-standard-2 × 3 nodes (2 vCPU / 8 GB each, ~7.1 GB allocatable). Verify with gcloud container clusters listknoe/core/actions.py still carries an e2-small default for the app cluster but the live cluster is e2-standard-2.

Cluster Context Role
knoe-dev-0 gke_plenary-truck-485623-p7_us-west3_knoe-dev-0 App cluster — Garage, registry, OpenBao, Kong, GitLab, monitoring
knoe-cnpg-0 gke_plenary-truck-485623-p7_us-west3_knoe-cnpg-0 DB cluster — CNPG/PostgreSQL only (note: conf/gke.cfg currently deploys this as knoe-dev-cnpg-0; the code default remains knoe-cnpg-0)

Storage quota: the project has SSD_TOTAL_GB = 300 GB in us-west3, fully consumed by CNPG. All non-CNPG PVCs must use standard (pd-standard / HDD) — not standard-rwo / premium-rwo, which are SSD-backed and will fail to provision with a quota error. GITLAB_GITALY_STORAGE_CLASS = standard is set in conf/gke.cfg accordingly.

Resource allocation

Resource Cluster Namespace
CNPG operator knoe-cnpg-0 cnpg-system
PostgreSQL cluster (knoe-db) knoe-cnpg-0 knoe-db-0
Barman Cloud plugin knoe-cnpg-0 cnpg-system
cert-manager knoe-cnpg-0 cert-manager
Garage (S3 object store) knoe-dev-0 knoe-system
Registry knoe-dev-0 knoe-system
OpenBao knoe-dev-0 knoe-system
Kong API gateway knoe-dev-0 knoe-system
Monitoring knoe-dev-0 monitoring

Garage runs ONLY in knoe-dev-0. Do NOT deploy Garage to knoe-cnpg-0.

CNPG backups → GCS (not Garage)

Backups use GCS with Workload Identity (not Garage):

  • Data bucket: gs://knoe-0-backups/
  • WAL bucket: gs://knoe-0-wal/
  • GCP SA: cnpg-backup@plenary-truck-485623-p7.iam.gserviceaccount.com
  • K8s SA: cnpg-backup-sa in knoe-db-0 (annotated with WI)
  • ObjectStore manifest: k8s/knoe/knoe-db-barman-objectstore-gcs.yaml

Setup script: etc/init_cnpg_gke.sh (creates buckets, GCP SA, WI binding, applies CNPG cluster).


Service mesh (Cloud Service Mesh / Istio)

Both clusters are registered in the knoe-0 GCP fleet with automatic Cloud Service Mesh management. This is automated in scripts/reset_clusters.sh (Phase 7) — no longer requires GCP web console.

# Check mesh provisioning status (~10 min after cluster creation):
gcloud container fleet mesh describe --project=plenary-truck-485623-p7

# Manual re-registration if needed:
gcloud container fleet memberships register knoe-dev-0 \
  --gke-cluster=us-west3/knoe-dev-0 \
  --enable-workload-identity \
  --project=plenary-truck-485623-p7
gcloud container fleet mesh update \
  --management=automatic \
  --memberships=knoe-dev-0 \
  --project=plenary-truck-485623-p7

install.sh / deploy.sh pre-flight checklist

conf/gke.cfg (interactive installer — ./install.sh)

Before running ./install.sh (especially "Initialization Scripts"), confirm these are correct:

[Inputs]
init_cluster.app_cluster_kubecontext = gke_plenary-truck-485623-p7_us-west3_knoe-dev-0
init_cluster.db_cluster_kubecontext  = gke_plenary-truck-485623-p7_us-west3_knoe-cnpg-0
env_setup.APP_CLUSTER_KUBECONTEXT    = gke_plenary-truck-485623-p7_us-west3_knoe-dev-0
env_setup.DB_CLUSTER_KUBECONTEXT     = gke_plenary-truck-485623-p7_us-west3_knoe-cnpg-0

[Global]
KUBECONTEXT = gke_plenary-truck-485623-p7_us-west3_knoe-dev-0
APP_CLUSTER_KUBECONTEXT = gke_plenary-truck-485623-p7_us-west3_knoe-dev-0
DB_CLUSTER_KUBECONTEXT  = gke_plenary-truck-485623-p7_us-west3_knoe-cnpg-0
CNPG_ELIGIBLE_NODES = <comma-separated node names from knoe-cnpg-0>

conf/service/prod.cfg (unattended deploy — ./deploy.sh)

Same cluster context entries are required here too:

[Inputs]
init_cluster.app_cluster_kubecontext = gke_plenary-truck-485623-p7_us-west3_knoe-dev-0
init_cluster.db_cluster_kubecontext  = gke_plenary-truck-485623-p7_us-west3_knoe-cnpg-0
env_setup.APP_CLUSTER_KUBECONTEXT    = gke_plenary-truck-485623-p7_us-west3_knoe-dev-0
env_setup.DB_CLUSTER_KUBECONTEXT     = gke_plenary-truck-485623-p7_us-west3_knoe-cnpg-0

[Global]
KUBECONTEXT = gke_plenary-truck-485623-p7_us-west3_knoe-dev-0
APP_CLUSTER_KUBECONTEXT = gke_plenary-truck-485623-p7_us-west3_knoe-dev-0
DB_CLUSTER_KUBECONTEXT  = gke_plenary-truck-485623-p7_us-west3_knoe-cnpg-0
ARTIFACT_REGISTRY = us-west3-docker.pkg.dev/plenary-truck-485623-p7/knoe-system
SERVICE_NAMESPACE = knoe-system
REGISTRY_NAMESPACE = knoe-system

Why these matter: Milestone._get_script_env() (in knoe/milestone.py) reads these to set KUBECONTEXT=app_ctx for common services and DB_CLUSTER_KUBECONTEXT=db_ctx for CNPG ops. Without them, all kubectl calls use the ambient context, which may be the DB cluster.

Missing init_cluster.app_cluster_kubecontext_cluster_kubecontext("app") returns "" → installer falls back to Global.KUBECONTEXT for both app and db environments → Garage deploys to knoe-cnpg-0 (wrong).

Get current CNPG node names

kubectl --context=gke_plenary-truck-485623-p7_us-west3_knoe-cnpg-0 get nodes -o name
