# KeyCape + privacyIDEA Stack — Cluster Deployment

## Goal

Deploy the full NetKingdom identity stack on the live k3s cluster without
Keycloak. KeyCape (v0.1, complete) is the OIDC orchestration layer; it
binds LLDAP (directory), Authelia (auth sessions), and privacyIDEA (MFA).

NK-WP-0001 was scoped around Keycloak and is deferred. This workplan
covers everything needed to reach a production-ready identity plane.

## Target cluster

**RAILIANCE01** — `92.205.62.239` — k3s v1.35.1+k3s1, clean baseline.
Kubeconfig: `~/.kube/config-railiance01`

> Note: T02–T07 were previously completed on CoulombCore (92.205.130.254) by
> mistake. CoulombCore is the old management host (Gitea/OCI registry only) and
> should not be touched. All SSO stack work targets RAILIANCE01 exclusively.

## Pre-conditions

- [x] k3s cluster healthy on RAILIANCE01 — v1.35.1+k3s1, node Ready ✓
- [x] kubeconfig available at `~/.kube/config-railiance01` ✓
- [x] All manifests committed — net-kingdom `sso-mfa/k8s/` ✓
- [x] KeyCape v0.1 complete — KEY-WP-0001 ✓
- [x] SOPS + age integrated into net-kingdom — NK-WP-0004 ✓
- [x] Agent-driven credential bootstrap ready — NK-WP-0005 ✓ (run `make creds-agent-init`)

## Architecture

```
Internet → Traefik (RAILIANCE01 k3s) → cert-manager TLS
                ├── auth.coulomb.social        → Authelia
                ├── pink.coulomb.social        → privacyIDEA portal
                ├── pink-account.coulomb.social → privacyIDEA account self-service
                └── id.coulomb.social          → KeyCape (OIDC)

KeyCape ──► Authelia (session, password)
        ──► LLDAP   (directory, user lookup)
        ──► privacyIDEA (MFA challenges via trigger-admin token)

privacyIDEA ──► PostgreSQL (privacyidea_db via CloudNativePG)
LLDAP       ──► SQLite (PVC)
Authelia    ──► SQLite (PVC)

KeyCape image pulled from CoulombCore OCI registry: 92.205.130.254:32166
(insecure HTTP NodePort — requires registries.yaml on RAILIANCE01)
```

## Tasks

### T01 — Credential setup

```task
id: NK-WP-0003-T01
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "6a22e17e-5854-4f8b-b419-9dc86d490357"
note: Credential foundation exists (NK-WP-0004 + NK-WP-0005). Secrets encrypted in
      secrets.enc/. Before T02, run `make creds-agent-init` with KUBECONFIG pointing
      to RAILIANCE01 to inject all secrets into the new cluster.
```

~~Net-kingdom currently uses a manual KeePassXC + age-bundle approach~~
Completed via NK-WP-0004 + NK-WP-0005. The credential foundation is in place:

- SOPS + age integrated — `~/.config/sops/age/keys.txt`, `.sops.yaml`, git hook
- Agent bootstrap: `make creds-agent-init` runs the full flow autonomously
- Credential standard: `canon/standards/credential-management_v0.2.md`

To bootstrap credentials into the RAILIANCE01 cluster before T02–T09, run:
```bash
export KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/config-railiance01
make creds-agent-init
```
This generates all secrets, encrypts to `secrets.enc/`, injects into the
cluster, and delivers the emergency bundle. No KeePassXC steps required.

### T02 — Apply cluster foundations

```task
id: NK-WP-0003-T02
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "a14e3a6b-18ee-4172-8a47-bd531f21e55a"
note: Done 2026-03-25 on RAILIANCE01. Namespaces, NetworkPolicies, cert-manager, ClusterIssuers,
      insecure registry for CoulombCore OCI all applied and verified.
      Known gotcha: added allow-traefik-to-acme-solver NetworkPolicy to sso + mfa namespaces
      (default-deny-all blocked ACME HTTP-01 solver pods from receiving Traefik traffic).
```

Apply the K8s infrastructure foundations. All manifests already committed.

```bash
export KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/config-railiance01
kubectl apply -f sso-mfa/k8s/namespaces/
kubectl apply -f sso-mfa/k8s/network-policies/
kubectl apply -f sso-mfa/k8s/cert-manager/
```

Also configure the insecure OCI registry on RAILIANCE01 so k3s can pull the KeyCape image:
```bash
ssh tegwick@92.205.62.239 "sudo tee /etc/rancher/k3s/registries.yaml" <<'EOF'
mirrors:
  "92.205.130.254:32166":
    endpoint:
      - "http://92.205.130.254:32166"
EOF
ssh tegwick@92.205.62.239 "sudo systemctl restart k3s"
```

Verify: `bash sso-mfa/k8s/verify-t02.sh`

Expected: namespaces `sso`, `mfa`, `databases` exist; NetworkPolicies applied;
cert-manager pods Running.

### T03 — Deploy PostgreSQL (CloudNativePG)

```task
id: NK-WP-0003-T03
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "19e375d0-66bd-4cf0-9c2d-59d5c0d5989e"
note: Done 2026-03-25 on RAILIANCE01. CNPG operator + net-kingdom-pg cluster running,
      privacyidea_db + role created. Verified via verify-t03.sh (8/8 PASS, 2 WARN for
      superuser secret + scheduled backup — both expected at this stage).
```

Deploy the shared database cluster:

```bash
export KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/config-railiance01
kubectl apply -f sso-mfa/k8s/postgres/
```

Wait for cluster to be `Ready`, then verify: `bash sso-mfa/k8s/verify-t03.sh`

**Note**: Do not proceed to T04 until the CloudNativePG cluster is fully
healthy. Migration jobs will fail on a partially-started cluster.

### T04 — Deploy privacyIDEA

```task
id: NK-WP-0003-T04
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "9c9c1ec9-0cf5-4546-a83e-d74dbf3b27af"
note: Done 2026-03-25 on RAILIANCE01. privacyIDEA pod Running, TLS certs issued,
      enckey + audit keys bootstrapped (privacyidea-enckey + privacyidea-auditkeys Secrets created),
      pi-admin + trigger-admin created, trigger-admin-rights policy created via REST API.
      REMAINING: enroll TOTP MFA for pi-admin via https://pink.coulomb.social WebUI.
```

Run credential bootstrap (injects privacyIDEA secrets + creates pi-admin/trigger-admin):
```bash
export KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/config-railiance01
make creds-agent-init
```

**Remaining manual step:**
Once `pink.coulomb.social` resolves to `92.205.62.239` and TLS cert is issued:
1. Log in to https://pink.coulomb.social as `pi-admin`
2. Enroll MFA for `pi-admin` (TOTP)
3. Verify/create trigger-admin policy: Policies → trigger-admin-rights
   (Scope: admin, Action: triggerchallenge, AdminUser: trigger-admin)

### T05 — Deploy LLDAP

```task
id: NK-WP-0003-T05
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "82fc90f7-8eb4-4718-b02a-dfd5fa39e5bc"
note: Done 2026-03-25 on RAILIANCE01. LLDAP pod Running, TLS cert issued (lldap.coulomb.social),
      groups net-kingdom-users (id=4) + net-kingdom-admins (id=5) created via direct GraphQL.
      bootstrap-users.sh has a bash set -e / json parse bug (workaround: direct curl).
```

Deploy LLDAP into the `sso` namespace:

```bash
export KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/config-railiance01
cd sso-mfa/k8s/lldap
bash create-secrets.sh
kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml
kubectl apply -f ingress.yaml
kubectl apply -f middleware.yaml
bash bootstrap-users.sh   # creates base OU structure + initial admin user
```

Verify pod Running and LDAP bind works on `ldap.coulomb.social`.

### T06 — Deploy Authelia

```task
id: NK-WP-0003-T06
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "3a28ff10-fbfa-443b-a64d-bbfe6153c544"
note: Done 2026-03-25 on RAILIANCE01. Authelia pod Running (1 restart on init, normal),
      TLS cert issued (auth.coulomb.social), health endpoint returns {"status":"OK"}.
```

Deploy Authelia into the `sso` namespace:

```bash
export KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/config-railiance01
cd sso-mfa/k8s/authelia
bash create-secrets.sh
kubectl apply -f configmap.yaml
kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml
kubectl apply -f ingress.yaml
```

Verify: `bash sso-mfa/k8s/verify-t05.sh` (covers LLDAP + Authelia together)

### T07 — Deploy KeyCape

```task
id: NK-WP-0003-T07
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "496a97c9-3e2a-486e-ba62-18449868c6cf"
note: Done 2026-03-25 on RAILIANCE01. KeyCape pod Running, TLS cert issued (kc.coulomb.social),
      OIDC discovery endpoint live at https://kc.coulomb.social/.well-known/openid-configuration.
      PI admin token refreshed via create-pi-token.sh (old token was from CoulombCore).
      keycape-pi-token K8s Secret created in sso namespace.
```

Deploy KeyCape into the `sso` namespace:

```bash
export KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/config-railiance01
cd sso-mfa/k8s/keycape
bash create-secrets.sh       # includes privacyIDEA trigger-admin token
bash create-pi-token.sh      # registers KeyCape as a privacyIDEA application
kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml
kubectl apply -f ingress.yaml
kubectl apply -f middleware.yaml
```

Verify: OIDC discovery endpoint reachable at
`https://id.coulomb.social/.well-known/openid-configuration`

### T08 — End-to-end authentication test

```task
id: NK-WP-0003-T08
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "0fba3392-c916-43fd-a2c1-24ce39481043"
note: Completed 2026-03-25. All 3 test packages pass (migration, negative, profile).
      Go 1.22.10 found at ~/go/bin/go. DNS resolves to 92.205.62.239 (all 4 subdomains).
      Tests run with: cd src && ~/go/bin/go test ./tests/... -v
      Results: ok keycape/tests/migration, ok keycape/tests/negative, ok keycape/tests/profile
      Note: tests use httptest.Server + mocks — no live cluster connection required.
```

Prove the full auth flow works:
1. OIDC discovery resolves at `id.coulomb.social`
2. Authelia password auth succeeds for a test user
3. privacyIDEA TOTP challenge issued and accepted
4. KeyCape issues a valid access token
5. Token introspection returns expected claims (sub, groups, email)

Use the KeyCape acceptance test suite:
```bash
cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/../key-cape"
go test ./tests/... -run TestProfileBaseline -v
```

### T08a — Create Cloudflare DNS A records

```task
id: NK-WP-0003-T08a
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "c614f839-61c4-41f6-bfeb-b3f9525a7625"
note: Done — all 5 A records (kc, auth, pink, pink-account, lldap) resolve to 92.205.62.239
      via @8.8.8.8. Confirmed 2026-03-25.
```

Create 5 A records in Cloudflare DNS, **proxy disabled (DNS-only / orange cloud OFF)**,
all pointing to `92.205.62.239` (RAILIANCE01 — where k3s/Traefik runs):

| Subdomain | Type | Value |
|-----------|------|-------|
| `kc.coulomb.social` | A | `92.205.62.239` |
| `auth.coulomb.social` | A | `92.205.62.239` |
| `pink.coulomb.social` | A | `92.205.62.239` |
| `pink-account.coulomb.social` | A | `92.205.62.239` |
| `lldap.coulomb.social` | A | `92.205.62.239` |

HTTP-01 ACME challenges require direct origin reachability — Cloudflare proxy blocks this.
Once DNS propagates, cert-manager's pending challenges will auto-resolve and TLS
certs will be issued for all ingresses.

Verify: `dig +short kc.coulomb.social @8.8.8.8` → `92.205.62.239`

### T08b — Install Go on RAILIANCE01

```task
id: NK-WP-0003-T08b
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "fdfe595a-f5a8-466a-82e9-7cc2ad8e5c3e"
note: Go 1.22.10 already installed at ~/go/bin/go (workstation). Tests ran from workstation.
      Also: Go v1.25.6 present on RAILIANCE01 via k3s.
```

Go is already installed on RAILIANCE01 via k3s (v1.25.6). No action needed.

Verify: `ssh tegwick@92.205.62.239 "go version"`

### T09 — Backup, DR, and monitoring

```task
id: NK-WP-0003-T09
status: todo
priority: medium
state_hub_task_id: "a82751d8-4de8-4668-8568-8dc140a6322b"
```

Operational hardening:

1. Deploy backup CronJob for CloudNativePG → MinIO/S3
   ```bash
   kubectl apply -f sso-mfa/k8s/backup/
   ```
2. Execute DB restore drill (mandatory before production traffic):
   restore `privacyidea_db` from a backup into a test namespace, verify
   privacyIDEA starts cleanly with the restored data
3. Deploy break-glass admin access (disabled by default):
   ```bash
   bash sso-mfa/k8s/lldap/break-glass.sh setup
   ```
4. Verify Prometheus scraping for privacyIDEA and Authelia metrics
5. Confirm NetworkPolicies block all unexpected egress

Verify: `bash sso-mfa/k8s/verify-t08.sh` (if exists) or manual checklist
from NK-WP-0001 T08 scope.
