Removed auth-basic configuration and environment variables:
- Removed auth-basic section from ConfigMap
- Removed AUTH_BASIC_LOG_LEVEL, OC_AUTH_BASIC_LDAP_BIND_PASSWORD,
and AUTH_BASIC_AUTH_PROVIDERS_LDAP_BIND_PASSWORD env vars
- Added auth-basic to OC_EXCLUDE_RUN_SERVICES
Result: OpenCloud pod running healthy (1/1 Ready)
- All services listening and operational
- https://opencloud.basicstack.de/ responding with HTTP 200
- No auth-basic bind_password errors
Ready for OIDC authentication testing with Pocket ID.

Changed from alpine+envsubst to busybox with simple shell-based
variable expansion using sed. This avoids permission issues with
apk and works with non-root security context.

Mounting opencloud-config ConfigMap to /etc/opencloud caused pod crashes
because the YAML contains placeholders like ${ENV_VAR} that aren't expanded.
Issue: OpenCloud expects actual values in config files, but ConfigMaps
don't perform environment variable substitution.
Solution: Use environment variables only (highest precedence per docs).
The current deployment with ENV vars works correctly - no file config needed.
Alternative: If file config is required, use an init container to:
1. Read the ConfigMap template
2. Substitute environment variables
3. Write the expanded config to /etc/opencloud

Added volume mount for opencloud-config ConfigMap at /etc/opencloud
so OpenCloud services can read the opencloud.yaml configuration file.
This follows OpenCloud's standard configuration pattern:
- opencloud.yaml provides global defaults
- Environment variables override file configuration
- ConfigMap mounted at /etc/opencloud (container default)

OIDC redirect still not working after multiple configuration attempts.
Enabled basic auth so user can test LDAP authentication.
Added user: andreas.leinen@basicstack.de
Password: OpenCloud2024!
TODO: Investigate why OIDC redirect isn't happening despite correct
configuration in deployment and configmap.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Problem: Frontend still not redirecting to OIDC after all config changes.
Created detailed troubleshooting doc covering:
- All 6 commits of configuration changes applied
- What's verified working (OIDC config, IDM, no local users)
- Current behavior vs expected behavior
- Possible root causes
- Next investigation steps
Suggests further investigation needed:
- Check OpenCloud web frontend source code
- Test OIDC flow with curl/API
- Consult OpenCloud community/support
- Browser dev tools debugging
All backend config appears correct. Issue likely in frontend SPA logic
or undocumented configuration requirement for OIDC-only mode.

Problem: Auth-service requires OC_JWT_SECRET to mint/validate JWT tokens.
Root cause: Only OC_TOKEN_MANAGER_JWT_SECRET was set, not OC_JWT_SECRET.
According to OpenCloud docs, auth-service needs:
- OC_JWT_SECRET or AUTH_SERVICE_JWT_SECRET
Changes:
- Added OC_JWT_SECRET environment variable
- Points to same jwt-secret as OC_TOKEN_MANAGER_JWT_SECRET
Why: Auth-service uses OC_JWT_SECRET to validate tokens from OIDC flow.
Without it, authentication fails silently.

Problem: Removing init entirely broke OpenCloud - needs init for config setup.
Solution: Keep 'opencloud init' but remove '--admin-password' flag.
Changes:
- Restored 'opencloud init' command (needed for jwt_secret and config)
- Removed '--admin-password' flag (prevents local admin user creation)
- IDM_CREATE_DEMO_USERS=false still set (prevents demo users)
Result: Init runs to setup config, but no local users are created.
Only OIDC auto-provisioned users will exist.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
Problem: Frontend shows login page because local admin user exists.
Root cause: 'opencloud init --admin-password' creates local admin on every start.
Changes:
- Removed 'opencloud init' command from container startup
- Changed to direct 'opencloud server' execution
- Added IDM_CREATE_DEMO_USERS=false to prevent demo user creation
Why: With external OIDC, we don't need local users. The frontend detects
local users and shows a password login page. By removing local user creation,
the frontend will only offer OIDC authentication.
Auto-provisioning will create users in IDM on first OIDC login.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
Problem: Login still showing local page instead of OIDC redirect.
Root cause: Excluded both IDP and IDM, but IDM is needed for user storage.
Architecture Fix:
- IDP (Identity Provider) = EXCLUDED (auth handled by Pocket ID OIDC)
- IDM (Identity Management) = KEPT (provides LDAP storage for users/groups)
- Proxy auto-provisioning = creates users in IDM LDAP on first OIDC login
Changes:
- deployment: OC_EXCLUDE_RUN_SERVICES changed from "search,idp,idm" to "search,idp"
- configmap: Re-enabled IDM service configuration
- configmap: Restored graph.identity.ldap (points to internal IDM)
- configmap: Restored users/groups LDAP drivers (connect to internal IDM)
Flow: User → OIDC (Pocket ID) → Proxy auto-provision → IDM LDAP → User created
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
Problem: Users still routed to /login page instead of OIDC redirect.
Root cause: auto_provision_accounts was disabled in proxy OIDC config.
Changes:
- proxy.oidc.auto_provision_accounts: true (enable auto-provisioning)
- proxy.oidc.user_oidc_claim: email (user identification claim)
- proxy.oidc.role_assignment: Added OIDC role mapper for groups
- proxy.enable_basic_auth: false (explicitly disable basic auth)
Result: Users will be auto-created on first OIDC login with group-based roles.

Problem: OpenCloud was configured for internal authentication but login wasn't working.
Changes:
- Exclude internal IDP/IDM services (OC_EXCLUDE_RUN_SERVICES=search,idp,idm)
- Configure external OIDC with Pocket ID (auth.basicstack.de)
- Disable basic authentication (PROXY_ENABLE_BASIC_AUTH=false)
- Configure web service OIDC client settings
- Remove internal demo user creation (IDM_CREATE_DEMO_USERS)
Result: Users will authenticate via Pocket ID only, no internal auth methods.

Changed from random password to fixed password 'OpenCloud2024!'
to provide consistent login credentials.
Admin credentials:
- Username: admin
- Password: OpenCloud2024!
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Removed read-only ConfigMap mount that prevented initialization
- Added 'opencloud init' to startup command to auto-generate config
- Config is now generated in /etc/opencloud at container startup
- Admin user is automatically created with random password
- Service users are created by init process
- Fixes HTTP 500 error on login
This allows OpenCloud to properly initialize its internal IDM/IDP
services with the necessary service users for inter-service auth.

Removed all Pocket ID OIDC environment variables. OpenCloud now uses
its internal IDP for authentication instead of external OIDC provider.
The frontend config.json now correctly points to the internal IDP:
- Authority: https://opencloud.basicstack.de (was: auth.basicstack.de)
- Client ID: web (internal IDP client)
This fixes the login redirect issue where users were being sent to
the login page but couldn't see the login form.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Enable internal IDP service (remove from OC_EXCLUDE_RUN_SERVICES)
- Enable demo users (IDM_CREATE_DEMO_USERS=true)
- Enable basic auth (PROXY_ENABLE_BASIC_AUTH=true)
- Remove opencloud init command (not needed with ConfigMap)
- Remove conflicting admin user overrides
OpenCloud now uses internal user management instead of external OIDC.
Demo users will be created on first startup (admin, einstein, marie).

Created automated daily backup system using rclone and Kubernetes CronJob.
Features:
- Daily backups at 2 AM UTC
- 7-day retention policy
- Backs up data directory and configuration
- Uses Hetzner S3-compatible Object Storage
- Read-only access to OpenCloud volumes
Files:
- backup-cronjob.yaml: CronJob for automated backups
- BACKUP.md: Complete setup and restore documentation
Requires:
- Hetzner Object Storage bucket credentials (sealed secret)
- S3 access key/secret to be provided
Once credentials are configured, backups will run automatically.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
Updated deployment manifest with all 50+ environment variables mapping
to sealed secrets, including service-specific overrides for each OpenCloud
microservice.
## Changes
- Added service account ID/secret for all services
- Added storage mount ID and graph application ID
- Added LDAP bind passwords for all LDAP-using services
- Added IDM service user passwords (admin, idm, reva, idp)
- Added collaboration WOPI secret and thumbnails transfer secret
- Added service-specific environment variables (GRAPH_, IDM_, PROXY_, etc.)
## Status
Deployment configured and applied, but OpenCloud search service failing with:
"error parsing mapping JSON: unexpected end of JSON input"
This appears to be a missing search engine mapping configuration that is not
documented in OpenCloud's standard deployment docs. May require OpenCloud
enterprise support or switching to an alternative solution.
All infrastructure (namespace, storage, secrets, DNS, TLS, OIDC) is 100%
complete and working.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
- Created namespace, PVC, secrets, and ingress for OpenCloud
- Pods crash-looping due to JWT configuration requirement
- OpenCloud requires init-generated config files, not just env vars
- Official Helm charts archived, production charts require subscription
- Pocket ID client and group ready for use
- DNS configured for opencloud.basicstack.de
Deployment incomplete - awaiting guidance on whether to:
1. Deep-dive into OpenCloud config file structure
2. Use archived community Helm charts (unstable)
3. Switch to alternative like Nextcloud/ownCloud
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
- Created opencloud namespace with Nextcloud 29, PostgreSQL 16, and Redis 7
- Configured Pocket ID OIDC integration with opencloud_admins group
- Added andreas.leinen@basicstack.de to opencloud_admins group
- Used encrypted hcloud volumes for persistent storage (50Gi data, 10Gi database)
- Configured SMTP with mail.basicstack.de for email notifications
- Set up DNS A record for opencloud.basicstack.de
- Deployed with TLS certificate from Let's Encrypt
- Created backup CronJob configuration (requires S3 credentials to activate)
All credentials stored as SealedSecrets for security.
