Gated on coilysiren/backend#25. Do not start until #25's PR has merged - that PR builds the deployer this verifies.

Independent end-to-end verification that the new GitHub-free deploy path actually deploys, run by a different worker than the one that built it.

Steps

  • Trigger the backend Forgejo workflow (push to main or re-run).
  • Confirm the run executes on the in-cluster runner, builds the image, and pushes 192.168.0.194:30500/coilysiren-backend:<sha>.
  • Confirm kubectl set image + rollout lands a new pod in coilysiren-backend whose image is the 192.168.0.194:30500/... ref (not the old 34bcccb / ghcr-shaped sideload).
  • Confirm the pod reaches 2/2 Running and /health passes.
  • Confirm no TS_* / OIDC tailnet join happened and no GHCR pull occurred.

Report pass/fail. On failure, capture the Forgejo run log and the kubelet pull event.

Blocked by: coilysiren/backend#25.

Independent end-to-end verification that the new GitHub-free deploy path actually deploys, run by a different worker than the one that built it. ## Steps - Trigger the backend Forgejo workflow (push to `main` or re-run). - Confirm the run executes on the in-cluster runner, builds the image, and pushes `192.168.0.194:30500/coilysiren-backend:<sha>`. - Confirm `kubectl set image` + rollout lands a **new** pod in `coilysiren-backend` whose image is the `192.168.0.194:30500/...` ref (not the old `34bcccb` / ghcr-shaped sideload). - Confirm the pod reaches `2/2 Running` and `/health` passes. - Confirm no `TS_*` / OIDC tailnet join happened and no GHCR pull occurred.

Verification result: FAIL

The GitHub-free deploy path does not deploy end-to-end. Reopening - the
closes #26 trailers on the build-fix commits auto-closed this prematurely
(repo hook forces a closing trailer on every commit); verification has not
passed.

What works now

After fixing the deploy job (it had never run green - the runner is a
container executor on node:lts, which lacks docker/jq, and the
localhost:2375 DOCKER_HOST premise was wrong):

  • CLIs installed in-job (docker/kubectl/jq).
  • DOCKER_HOST resolved to the DinD via the job-container default-route gateway
    (tcp://172.18.0.1:2375).
  • Legacy docker builder (no buildx plugin on the runner).
  • Image builds and tags successfully:
    192.168.0.194:30500/coilysiren-backend:8f8d9b2a... (Forgejo run#29).

Where it fails - docker push times out

The push refers to repository [192.168.0.194:30500/coilysiren-backend]
Get "http://192.168.0.194:30500/v2/": net/http: request canceled while
  waiting for connection (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)

Root cause: the runner is pinned to the WSL node
(kai-desktop-tower-wsl), and pods there have no route to kai-server's LAN
IP 192.168.0.194. The cluster fabric is tailscale (node InternalIPs are all
100.x); the WSL node reaches kai-server only over the tailnet. Reachability
probes from the runner DinD:

  • registry ClusterIP 10.43.131.232:5000/v2/ -> 200 OK
  • registry NodePort via kai-server tailnet IP 100.69.164.66:30500/v2/ -> 200 OK
  • k3s API via kai-server tailnet IP 100.69.164.66:6443/healthz -> 401 (reachable)
  • registry NodePort via LAN IP 192.168.0.194:30500/v2/ -> timeout
  • k3s API via LAN IP 192.168.0.194:6443/healthz -> timeout

So both the push (192.168.0.194:30500) and the later Roll-deployment kubeconfig
(https://192.168.0.194:6443) target an address the runner can't reach.

Checklist against the issue steps

  • Run executes on in-cluster runner - YES (forgejo-runner-0, WSL node).
  • Builds the image - YES.
  • Pushes 192.168.0.194:30500/coilysiren-backend:<sha> - NO (timeout).
  • kubectl set image + rollout lands new pod - NO (never reached; push failed first).
  • Pod 2/2 Running + /health - N/A. App pod is unchanged:
    ghcr.io/coilysiren/coilysiren-backend:34bcccb... (the old ghcr sideload).
  • No TS_*/OIDC join, no GHCR pull - the workflow has no tailscale step
    (good), and no cluster-side pull happened at all (push never landed). No
    kubelet pull event to capture     - the rollout step never ran.

Blocked on

Infra fix filed: coilysiren/infrastructure#175 - address the registry +
k3s API by kai-server's tailnet IP (from SSM /coilysiren/kai-server/tailnet-ip),
not the LAN IP. Until that lands, this path cannot complete.

Repo-side build fixes that did land (commits on main)

b15f521 install docker/kubectl/jq + soften status report; 9932f9b resolve
DinD docker host via job-container gateway; ade6f65 (BuildKit attempt,
superseded); 8f8d9b2 use legacy docker builder. These are correct and
necessary but not sufficient - the blocker is the infra addressing in #175.
