User wants actual GitLab on the VPS, not just Gitea's pull-mirror -
deliberate scope increase from the original plan's 'keep the VPS
lighter' design for git hosting specifically.
Simplified single-node equivalent of apps/gitlab (home) - same chart
version (7.7.0), same Authentik OIDC provider/client_id (added a second
redirect_uri to the shared GitLab provider in infrastructure/authentik/
gitlab-blueprint.yaml), same known chart bugs already diagnosed at home
(redis-init-fix.yaml for the initializer-ordering bug) - but:
- 1 CNPG instance (local-path) instead of home's 3-instance HA
- No Praefect - pointless HA routing with a single Gitaly node
- No PgBouncer - direct CNPG connection, traffic is low enough
- No SAML, no Container Registry, no KAS - addable later if needed
- Own Traefik Ingress + https-redirect Middleware from the start
(found needed the hard way on Vault/Gitea/n8n/Nextcloud/Authentik
earlier this session - applying that lesson here immediately)
New Vault paths this needed: secret/vps/gitlab-redis (freshly generated,
this Redis instance is new, nothing to reuse) and widened the
vps-eso-reader policy to also allow secret/gitlab-oauth (the shared
Authentik client, already used by home's GitLab).

Completes the 'make the repo proper' cleanup from earlier this session -
these were flagged but deliberately not touched in 185e9c2 given the
blast radius (live SSO for 8 apps). User confirmed: fix all 8 now.
infrastructure/authentik/{argocd,gitlab,nextcloud,grafana,n8n,guacamole,
rancher,vault}-blueprint.yaml: converted from plain ConfigMap (client_secret
hardcoded) to ExternalSecret with a templated blueprint body
(client_secret: "{{ .clientSecret }}") pulling from Vault. Chart already
supports mounting blueprints from Secrets (blueprints.secrets, alongside
blueprints.configMaps) - infrastructure/authentik/values.yaml updated to
route these 8 there instead.
For argocd/nextcloud/n8n/guacamole/rancher: Vault already had the matching
value at secret/<app>-oauth (the APP side was already Vault-backed via its
own ExternalSecret) - the blueprint was the only remaining plaintext copy.
For gitlab/grafana/vault: Vault had no copy at all yet - created
secret/{gitlab,grafana,vault}-oauth with the EXISTING live values (not
rotated - these are the actual working credentials right now, rotating
would break login until every consumer is updated in lockstep, which is
out of scope for a cleanup pass). Also fixed the OTHER plaintext copies
that existed for these three specifically:
- apps/gitlab/manifests/external-secret-oidc.yaml (new): replaces a
manually kubectl-created, never-git-tracked gitlab-oidc-secret.
- infrastructure/grafana/manifests/grafana-oauth-secret.yaml: was a
plain Secret whose own comment said 'hardcoded from blueprint'.
- infrastructure/vault/manifests/vault-init-{configmap,job}.yaml: this
one COULDN'T be converted to the same ExternalSecret-from-Vault
pattern - it's the PostSync Job that grants ESO's own Kubernetes-auth
role in Vault, so ESO can't yet authenticate to pull anything from
Vault at the point this script runs (genuinely circular). Sourced
from a new vault-oidc-bootstrap Secret instead - created once
manually (kubectl, not git, matching how Vault's own root/unseal
material is already handled), independent of the ESO pipeline.
