# Deployment Runbook — k3s on Vultr Deploys `dist/` as a static site on the existing k3s cluster at **65.20.110.165**, served at **https://www.apexturf.es** (with `apexturf.es` redirecting to it), using a self-hosted **Gitea** instance at **https://git.apexturf.es** as the container registry. You run every command below yourself (via `!` in Claude Code or your own terminal) — nothing here is executed automatically. Each phase assumes the previous one succeeded; verify before moving on. **Assumptions/placeholders to double check before you start:** - You have root SSH access to `65.20.110.165` already (this box was provisioned outside this session). - k3s was installed with its default bundled **Traefik** ingress controller (verify in Phase 1). - DNS for `apexturf.es` is managed somewhere you can add A records (any registrar/DNS host works — instructions below are provider-agnostic). - Let's Encrypt contact email is set to `hello@albertabril.com` in `deploy/k8s/cert-manager/cluster-issuer.yaml` — change it there if you'd rather use another address. - Gitea owner/username is assumed to be `apexadmin` in examples below — swap in whatever you actually pick. --- ## Phase 0 — Local tools ```bash # You already have Docker. Confirm kubectl + helm are installed: kubectl version --client helm version # If either is missing: brew install kubectl helm ``` ## Phase 1 — Get kubectl talking to the cluster ```bash # Pull the kubeconfig off the node (adjust the ssh user if it's not root): scp root@65.20.110.165:/etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml ~/.kube/apexturf-k3s.yaml # The file points at 127.0.0.1 by default — repoint it at the real IP. # (macOS/BSD sed needs the empty '' after -i; drop it on Linux.) sed -i '' 's/127\.0\.0\.1/65.20.110.165/' ~/.kube/apexturf-k3s.yaml chmod 600 ~/.kube/apexturf-k3s.yaml export KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/apexturf-k3s.yaml kubectl get nodes kubectl get pods -n kube-system # confirm a traefik pod is running ``` > Add `export KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/apexturf-k3s.yaml` to your shell profile (`~/.zshrc`) so it's set in new > terminals — every command below assumes it's exported. **If `kubectl get nodes` times out:** the Vultr firewall group attached to this instance likely doesn't allow inbound 6443 from your IP. Add a rule for it (and for 80/443, needed later for Let's Encrypt) in the Vultr dashboard → your instance → Firewall. ## Phase 2 — DNS At whatever DNS host manages `apexturf.es`, add three **A** records, all pointing at `65.20.110.165`: | Host | Type | Value | |---------------------|------|-----------------| | `apexturf.es` (`@`) | A | 65.20.110.165 | | `www.apexturf.es` | A | 65.20.110.165 | | `git.apexturf.es` | A | 65.20.110.165 | Verify propagation before moving on (can take minutes to hours depending on TTL/provider): ```bash dig +short apexturf.es dig +short www.apexturf.es dig +short git.apexturf.es ``` ## Phase 3 — cert-manager + Let's Encrypt ```bash # Check https://cert-manager.io/docs/installation/ for the current latest version — # this pins a known-good one, but a newer release is likely available: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.16.2/cert-manager.yaml kubectl -n cert-manager rollout status deploy/cert-manager kubectl -n cert-manager rollout status deploy/cert-manager-webhook kubectl apply -f deploy/k8s/cert-manager/cluster-issuer.yaml kubectl get clusterissuer ``` Both `letsencrypt-prod` and `letsencrypt-staging` should show `READY=True`. Every Ingress below requests `letsencrypt-prod` directly; if you want to dry-run against staging first (untrusted cert, but validates the whole HTTP-01 chain without touching the production rate limit), temporarily change the `cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer` annotation to `letsencrypt-staging` on an Ingress, confirm it issues, then switch it back. ## Phase 4 — Gitea (registry + git host) ```bash helm repo add gitea-charts https://dl.gitea.com/charts/ helm repo update helm upgrade --install gitea gitea-charts/gitea \ --namespace gitea --create-namespace \ -f deploy/k8s/gitea/values.yaml \ --set gitea.admin.password='PICK-A-STRONG-PASSWORD-HERE' kubectl -n gitea rollout status deploy/gitea kubectl -n gitea get certificate # wait for READY=True on the git.apexturf.es cert ``` Then: 1. Visit **https://git.apexturf.es**, log in as `apexadmin` / the password you set above. 2. **Change that password** (Settings → Account) — the one above only exists in your shell history/values override now, not committed anywhere. 3. Settings → Applications → **Generate New Token**, scopes `read:package` + `write:package` (this is what `docker login`/`docker push` will use — don't reuse your account password for that). Save the token somewhere safe; Gitea only shows it once. ## Phase 5 — Build & push the site image From the project root (not `deploy/` — the Dockerfile expects repo-root as build context): ```bash docker login git.apexturf.es -u apexadmin # paste the access token as the password when prompted docker build -f deploy/Dockerfile -t git.apexturf.es/apexadmin/apex-turf-web:latest . docker push git.apexturf.es/apexadmin/apex-turf-web:latest ``` Confirm it landed: on Gitea, go to your user (or org) → **Packages** tab, you should see `apex-turf-web:latest`. ## Phase 6 — Deploy the site ```bash # 1. Namespace first kubectl apply -f deploy/k8s/apex-turf/namespace.yaml # 2. Let the cluster pull from Gitea's registry — same token as Phase 4/5 kubectl create secret docker-registry gitea-registry \ --namespace apex-turf \ --docker-server=git.apexturf.es \ --docker-username=apexadmin \ --docker-password='PASTE-THE-ACCESS-TOKEN-HERE' \ --docker-email=hello@albertabril.com # 3. Point the Deployment at your actual Gitea owner (default in the file is GITEA_OWNER) sed -i '' 's/GITEA_OWNER/apexadmin/' deploy/k8s/apex-turf/deployment.yaml # 4. Apply everything else kubectl apply -f deploy/k8s/apex-turf/deployment.yaml kubectl apply -f deploy/k8s/apex-turf/service.yaml kubectl apply -f deploy/k8s/apex-turf/ingress.yaml kubectl apply -f deploy/k8s/apex-turf/redirect-ingress.yaml ``` ## Phase 7 — Verify ```bash kubectl -n apex-turf get pods,svc,ingress,certificate kubectl -n apex-turf rollout status deploy/apex-turf-web curl -I https://www.apexturf.es # expect 200 curl -I https://apexturf.es # expect 301 -> https://www.apexturf.es/ ``` Open **https://www.apexturf.es** in a browser and confirm the site loads with a valid padlock. ### Troubleshooting - **Certificate stuck `False`/pending**: `kubectl -n apex-turf describe certificate apex-turf-web-tls` and `kubectl -n apex-turf describe challenge` — almost always DNS not propagated yet, or port 80 blocked by the Vultr firewall (HTTP-01 needs 80 reachable from the internet, not just 443). - **`ImagePullBackOff`**: check `kubectl -n apex-turf describe pod ` — usually the `gitea-registry` secret's token is wrong/expired, or `GITEA_OWNER` in `deployment.yaml` doesn't match the actual image path you pushed to. - **Redirect not firing**: `kubectl -n apex-turf get middleware` should list `redirect-to-www`; if Traefik isn't picking it up, confirm the Ingress annotation matches `-@kubernetescrd` exactly (`apex-turf-redirect-to-www@kubernetescrd`). ## Redeploying after changes to `dist/` ```bash docker build -f deploy/Dockerfile -t git.apexturf.es/apexadmin/apex-turf-web:latest . docker push git.apexturf.es/apexadmin/apex-turf-web:latest kubectl -n apex-turf rollout restart deployment/apex-turf-web kubectl -n apex-turf rollout status deployment/apex-turf-web ```
