CTO Agent 6640739af6 Complete Stalwart ConfigMap mount hardening: add stalwart.toml copy
Extends commit 291feb9 by adding stalwart-config (stalwart.toml) to the
copy-config initContainer. The previous fix only handled bootstrap-config
but missed stalwart-config, which was the root cause of CrashLoopBackOff
identified in DEV-426 stability testing.

Root cause: commit 693fcd3 introduced stalwart-config ConfigMap with
subPath mount. During pod restarts, Kubernetes subPath ConfigMap mounting
race leaves stalwart.toml empty/unparseable, causing:
  "Failed to parse data store settings at /etc/stalwart/stalwart.toml:
   expected value at line 1 column 1"

This completes the hardening by ensuring BOTH config files (config.json
and stalwart.toml) are atomically copied before Stalwart starts.

Fixes: DEV-433, DEV-431

Purpose

This repository serves as the central source of truth for all deployment configurations targeting the basicstack.de Kubernetes cluster. It follows GitOps principles where infrastructure and application state is declaratively defined and version-controlled.

Directory Details

apps/

Contains deployment configurations for individual applications and services running on the cluster. Each application should have its own subdirectory with:

  • Kubernetes manifests (Deployments, StatefulSets, Services, etc.)
  • Helm values files
  • Configuration files
  • Application-specific documentation

Example: The stalwart/ directory contains the complete deployment configuration for the Stalwart mail server, including multiple deployment variants, monitoring setup, and operational guides.

infrastructure/

Contains cluster-wide infrastructure configurations:

  • networking/: Ingress controllers, network policies, DNS configurations, load balancers
  • monitoring/: Prometheus, Grafana, logging infrastructure, observability tools

docs/

General documentation including:

  • Deployment procedures
  • Cluster architecture
  • Troubleshooting guides
  • Best practices

GitOps with Argo CD

This repository is managed via Argo CD, the GitOps deployment platform for the cluster.

All changes pushed to the main branch are automatically synchronized to the cluster. Applications are defined in apps/app-*.yaml files and reference subdirectories for their manifests.

For details on managing applications, repository credentials, troubleshooting, and emergency procedures, see the Argo CD documentation.

Getting Started

  1. Clone this repository
  2. Review the example Stalwart deployment in apps/stalwart/
  3. Follow the pattern for new application deployments
  4. Ensure all manifests are tested before committing
  5. Argo CD will automatically sync changes to the cluster (or use manual sync for critical changes)

Contributing

All changes should be:

  1. Committed with clear, descriptive messages
  2. Tested in a development environment when possible
  3. Documented appropriately
  4. Reviewed before deployment to production

Cluster Information

  • Cluster: basicstack.de
  • Platform: K3s on Hetzner Cloud
  • Namespace Strategy: One namespace per application (recommended)
  • Ingress: Traefik (default K3s ingress controller)
