BF-22VC5: Final Status - Infrastructure Blocker Remains

Date

2026-06-04

Task

Deploy P0: build acb-enrichment Docker image and re-enable deployment (apexalgo-iad)

Summary

BLOCKED - Cannot proceed without iad-ci kubeconfig or alternative workflow trigger method.

What Was Verified

Source Code ✅

• cmd/acb-enrichment/ exists and is valid
• Dockerfile at cmd/acb-enrichment/Dockerfile is correct
• Multi-stage Go build (golang:1.25-alpine → alpine:3.19)

Deployment Manifest ✅

• manifests/acb-enrichment-deployment.yml exists
• Has placeholder SHA: ronaldraygun/acb-enrichment@sha256:placeholder
• All environment variables properly configured
• Liveness probe uses exec probe (pgrep) for batch process

CI/CD Configuration ✅

• acb-images-build WorkflowTemplate includes build-enrichment task
• Builds ronaldraygun/acb-enrichment image to Docker Hub
• Argo Events sensor configured: ai-code-battle-ci-sensor
• Webhook endpoint: https://webhooks-ci.ardenone.com/ai-code-battle

The Blocker

Missing iad-ci.kubeconfig - Cannot submit workflows to iad-ci cluster

Access Constraints

• ❌ /home/coding/.kube/iad-ci.kubeconfig - Does NOT exist
• ❌ /home/coding/.kube/rs-manager.kubeconfig - Does NOT exist
• ❌ Read-only kubectl proxy (http://traefik-iad-ci:8001) - Cannot create resources
• ❌ Container runtime (docker/podman) - Not available locally
• ❌ spotctl - Not available for generating kubeconfig
• ❌ OpenBao access - Not accessible from this machine

What I Tried

1. Checked for existing kubeconfigs - none found
2. Checked kubectl proxy - works but read-only
3. Checked OpenBao - not accessible
4. Checked spotctl - not installed
5. Checked ExternalSecrets - reference OpenBao paths
6. Checked webhook endpoint - exists but requires proper trigger

Resolution Path

Option 1: Obtain iad-ci Kubeconfig (RECOMMENDED)

Download from Rackspace Spot Console:

1. Login to Rackspace Spot Console
2. Navigate to iad-ci cluster (us-east-iad-1)
3. Generate kubeconfig for ServiceAccount with cluster-admin
4. Save to /home/coding/.kube/iad-ci.kubeconfig
5. Verify: kubectl --kubeconfig=/home/coding/.kube/iad-ci.kubeconfig get workflows -n argo-workflows

Option 2: Configure Forgejo Webhook

Register webhook in Forgejo to auto-trigger on push:

1. Go to https://forgejo.ardenone.com/ai-code-battle/ai-code-battle/settings/hooks
2. Add webhook → Gitea/Forgejo
3. URL: https://webhooks-ci.ardenone.com/ai-code-battle
4. Content Type: application/json
5. Trigger: Push events → master branch
6. Active: ✅

Then push any commit to master to trigger the build.

Option 3: Manual Trigger via Argo UI

1. Access https://argo-ci.ardenone.com (Google SSO required)
2. Navigate to WorkflowTemplates
3. Find acb-images-build
4. Click "Submit" to trigger manually

Expected Workflow Once Unblocked

# Submit workflow
kubectl --kubeconfig=/home/coding/.kube/iad-ci.kubeconfig create -f - <<EOF
apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Workflow
metadata:
  generateName: acb-images-build-manual-
  namespace: argo-workflows
spec:
  workflowTemplateRef:
    name: acb-images-build
EOF

# Monitor workflow
kubectl --kubeconfig=/home/coding/.kube/iad-ci.kubeconfig get workflows -n argo-workflows -w

# After build completes, get image digest
curl -s "https://hub.docker.com/v2/repositories/ronaldraygun/acb-enrichment/tags/" | jq -r '.results[0].images[0].digest'

# Update deployment manifest
# Edit manifests/acb-enrichment-deployment.yml, replace placeholder SHA

# Push to declarative-config
# ArgoCD will sync to apexalgo-iad

Current Image Status

$ curl -s "https://hub.docker.com/v2/repositories/ronaldraygun/acb-enrichment/tags/"
{"message":"object not found","errinfo":{}}

Image does NOT exist on Docker Hub. Must be built first.

Status

BLOCKED - External action required to obtain iad-ci.kubeconfig or configure webhook.
