nilsandClaude Opus 5.5 84fb3aac21 k8s: work with kubectl apply -f as well as -k
- The secrets template moves to k8s/secrets/, and the filled-in copy to
  k8s/secrets/secrets.yaml (gitignored). `kubectl apply -f k8s/` does
  not recurse, so neither the placeholder template nor the real secrets
  can be applied by accident.
- The server image digest is pinned in server.yaml instead of through
  kustomize's images override, which `-f` ignores (it would have pulled
  a nonexistent :latest).
- README and kustomization.yaml say to use `-k`: plain `-f` never
  creates the generated Grafana ConfigMaps.
- The IngressRoutes drop `tls: {}`, like the other routes on this
  Traefik: TLS is configured on the websecure entrypoint.

Manifests validated both ways (14 resources rendered with kustomize,
11 as plain files — the difference is the Grafana ConfigMaps).

Kubernetes manifests — car.k8s.stinnesbeck.com

Plain manifests for the car server, InfluxDB 2 and Grafana. They are only files: nothing here is applied automatically. Apply them yourself.

File What
namespace.yaml Namespace mg4
influxdb.yaml InfluxDB 2.7.12 StatefulSet (10Gi PVC, default storage class), cluster-internal Service, NetworkPolicy admitting only the server and Grafana
server.yaml Go server Deployment (1 replica, non-root, read-only root filesystem) and Service
grafana.yaml Grafana 13.2.3 Deployment (1Gi PVC), Service; datasource and dashboards provisioned
grafana/ The provisioned InfluxDB datasource and the MG4 dashboards (Live, Consumption, Charging)
ingress.yaml Traefik IngressRoutes for car.k8s.stinnesbeck.com and Grafana, TLS from Traefik's default certificate
secrets/secrets.example.yaml Template for the Secrets; placeholders only, not in kustomization.yaml
secrets/secrets.yaml Your filled-in copy — gitignored, never committed
kustomization.yaml Everything except the Secrets; generates the Grafana ConfigMaps

Before the first apply

  1. Check ingress.yaml: Grafana's host (placeholder car-grafana.k8s.stinnesbeck.com). Both routes use the traefik-internal class, and both hosts must be covered by Traefik's default certificate.
  2. Create the Secrets. cp k8s/secrets/secrets.example.yaml k8s/secrets/secrets.yaml (gitignored), replace every CHANGE-ME there (openssl rand -hex 32): influxdb-auth, mg4-server (ingest token, approval password for pairing, your ABRP API key and user token) and grafana-admin. Keep the template itself on placeholders only.
  3. Registry access. The mg4-server package on git.stinnesbeck.com is public, so no pull secret is needed. If you make it private, add an imagePullSecrets entry to server.yaml.

Apply

kubectl apply -f k8s/namespace.yaml
kubectl apply -f k8s/secrets/secrets.yaml
kubectl apply -k k8s/

Use -k, not -f k8s/: plain -f applies the files without kustomize, so the Grafana ConfigMaps (datasource and dashboards) are never created and Grafana does not start.

Notes

  • InfluxDB's setup mode runs only on an empty volume. Changing admin-token in the Secret later does not change the token inside InfluxDB.
  • The server and Grafana use the InfluxDB admin token. A token scoped to the mg4 bucket (read for Grafana, read/write for the server) can replace it later.
  • The dashboards are read-only in Grafana's UI. Change the JSON in grafana/dashboards/; the ConfigMap name changes with its content, which rolls Grafana.
  • The server image is pinned by digest in server.yaml. To upgrade, push a new tag and put its digest there (skopeo inspect docker://git.stinnesbeck.com/nils/mg4-server:<tag>).
