## Services Deployed

### Core Infrastructure
- **Argo CD**: GitOps controller (installed via Makefile)
- **Cert Manager**: Certificate management
- **Istio**: Service mesh
- **CloudNativePG**: PostgreSQL operator
- **NATS**: Messaging system
- **Kyverno**: Policy engine
- **Trivy**: Security scanning

### Storage
- **Local Path Storage**: Default storage class with symlinks to `/data/pvc/{namespace}/{name}` for easier backup and management

## Deployment

### Initial Setup

1. **Create the cluster and install Argo CD:**
   ```bash
   make create
   ```

2. **Wait for Argo CD to be ready:**
   ```bash
   kubectl wait --for=condition=available --timeout=300s deployment/argocd-server -n argocd
   ```

3. **Get Argo CD admin password:**
   ```bash
   kubectl -n argocd get secret argocd-initial-admin-secret -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" | base64 -d
   ```

4. **Port-forward to access Argo CD UI:**
   ```bash
   kubectl port-forward svc/argocd-server -n argocd 8080:443
   ```
   Access at: https://localhost:8080 (username: `admin`)

### Deploy Foundation Services

Deploy all foundation services using the Makefile:

```bash
make deploy
```

This will:
1. Create the `foundation` Argo CD project
2. Deploy the root application that manages all other applications
3. Argo CD will automatically sync all foundational services

### Manual Deployment

Alternatively, you can deploy manually:

```bash
kubectl apply -k apps/
```

## Argo CD Project

All applications are managed under the `foundation` Argo CD project, which allows:
- Deployment to any namespace
- Access to any source repository
- Cluster and namespace resource management

## Storage Configuration

The default storage class (`local-path`) is configured to:
- Store volumes in `/var/lib/rancher/k3s/storage` (K3s default)
- Create symlinks in `/data/pvc/{namespace}/{name}` for easier backup and management
- Use `WaitForFirstConsumer` binding mode for optimal pod scheduling

## Application Details

### Cert Manager
- **Namespace**: `cert-manager`
- **Source**: Helm chart from cert-manager GitHub
- **Version**: v1.13.3

### Istio

- **Source**: Helm chart from Istio releases
- **Version**: 1.20.0

### CloudNativePG
- **Namespace**: `cnpg-system`
- **Source**: CRDs and operator from CloudNativePG GitHub
- **Version**: v1.22.0

### NATS
- **Namespace**: `nats`
- **Source**: Helm chart from NATS Helm repository
- **Version**: 0.20.0
- **Features**: JetStream enabled with 10Gi storage

### Kyverno
- **Namespace**: `kyverno`
- **Source**: Helm chart from Kyverno Helm repository
- **Version**: 3.1.0

### Trivy
- **Namespace**: `trivy-system`
- **Source**: Helm chart from Aqua Security Helm repository
- **Version**: 0.20.0

## Repository URL

Update the repository URL in `apps/root-application.yaml` and `apps/storage-class.yaml` if you're using a different Git repository:

```yaml
source:
  repoURL: https://gitea.olsen.cloud/homelab/foundation.git
  targetRevision: main
```

## Quality Assurance and Linting

This repository includes several QA tools to ensure manifest quality and correctness.

### Available Commands

```bash
# Run all checks (lint + validate)
make check

# Validate Kubernetes manifests
make validate

# Lint YAML files
make lint

# Format YAML files
make format

# Install required tools
make install-tools
```

### Tools Used

- **kubeconform**: Validates Kubernetes manifests against the Kubernetes API schema
- **yamllint**: Lints YAML files for syntax and style issues
- **kustomize**: Validates Kustomize configurations and builds

### Pre-commit Hooks

The repository includes a `.pre-commit-config.yaml` for automated checks before commits. Install pre-commit hooks:

```bash
pip install pre-commit
pre-commit install
```

### CI/CD Integration

The `scripts/validate.sh` script can be used in CI/CD pipelines:

```bash
./scripts/validate.sh
```

### Validation Details

- **Kubernetes Validation**: Uses kubeconform to validate all manifests against Kubernetes API schemas
- **Kustomize Validation**: Ensures all kustomization.yaml files are valid
- **YAML Linting**: Checks YAML syntax, indentation, and style according to `.yamllint` configuration

## Future Enhancements

When adding new services:
1. Create an Argo CD Application manifest in the `apps/` directory
2. Add it to `apps/kustomization.yaml`
3. Ensure it uses the `foundation` project
4. Run `make check` to validate before committing
5. Commit and push - Argo CD will automatically sync

## Troubleshooting

### Argo CD Applications Not Syncing
- Check Argo CD server logs: `kubectl logs -n argocd deployment/argocd-server`
- Verify repository access: Argo CD needs read access to the Git repository
- Check application status in Argo CD UI or CLI: `argocd app list`

### Storage Issues
- Verify storage class is default: `kubectl get storageclass`
- Check local-path-provisioner logs: `kubectl logs -n kube-system -l app=local-path-provisioner`
- Verify symlinks are created: `ls -la /data/pvc/`

### Service Not Starting
- Check pod status: `kubectl get pods -n <namespace>`
- Check events: `kubectl get events -n <namespace> --sort-by='.lastTimestamp'`
- Review Argo CD application sync status
