BF-22VC5: acb-enrichment Deployment - Current Status

Task Summary

Deploy P0: Build acb-enrichment Docker image and re-enable deployment on apexalgo-iad.

Investigation Complete

Verified Components

✅ Enrichment service source: cmd/acb-enrichment/ exists ✅ Dockerfile verified correct: cmd/acb-enrichment/Dockerfile (multi-stage Go build) ✅ WorkflowTemplate includes enrichment: acb-build has build-enrichment step (lines 93-102) ✅ Deployment manifest location: declarative-config/k8s/apexalgo-iad/ai-code-battle/acb-enrichment-deployment.yml

The Blocker

The deployment manifest has placeholder SHA (sha256:placeholder on line 40). The acb-enrichment image does not exist on Docker Hub.

Access Issue:

• iad-ci.kubeconfig does NOT exist at /home/coding/.kube/iad-ci.kubeconfig
• Read-only proxy at http://traefik-iad-ci.tail1b1987.ts.net:8001 works but cannot submit workflows
• No container runtime (docker/podman) available locally to build manually
• No Forgejo Actions workflow configured for automatic builds on push
• GitHub Actions is disabled per project policy

What Needs to Happen

Option 1: Obtain iad-ci kubeconfig (Recommended)

1. Download kubeconfig from Rackspace Spot Console:
   • Navigate to iad-ci cluster
   • Generate kubeconfig for ServiceAccount argocd-manager
   • Save to /home/coding/.kube/iad-ci.kubeconfig
2. Submit the workflow:

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

3. The workflow will:
   • Build all ACB images including acb-enrichment
   • Run tests
   • Push images to Docker Hub (ronaldraygun/acb-enrichment:<sha>)
   • Update declarative-config with real image SHA via update-declarative-config step
   • Push changes to declarative-config repo
4. ArgoCD will sync the updated manifest to apexalgo-iad cluster

Option 2: Configure Forgejo Actions webhook

1. Create a workflow file in .forgejo/workflows/ or .gitea/workflows/
2. Configure it to trigger on push to master
3. Workflow should submit the acb-build workflow to iad-ci via API

Option 3: Manual Docker build (Last resort)

1. Install container runtime on this machine
2. Configure Docker Hub credentials
3. Build image manually:

   docker build -f cmd/acb-enrichment/Dockerfile -t ronaldraygun/acb-enrichment:latest .
   docker push ronaldraygun/acb-enrichment:latest
   

4. Get image digest and update deployment manifest manually
5. Commit and push to declarative-config

Current State (2026-06-04)

• BLOCKER: Missing iad-ci.kubeconfig for workflow submission
• Image Status: acb-enrichment image does not exist on Docker Hub
• Dockerfile: Verified correct
• WorkflowTemplate: Verified - acb-images-build-workflowtemplate.yml includes enrichment
• Deployment: Has placeholder SHA at line 40, needs real image
• iad-ci Proxy: Confirmed accessible at http://traefik-iad-ci.tail1b1987.ts.net:8001 but read-only

Verified Access Attempts (2026-06-04)

# iad-ci proxy exists but is read-only (devpod-observer SA)
$ kubectl --server=http://traefik-iad-ci.tail1b1987.ts.net:8001 create -f - <<EOF
apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Workflow
...
EOF
Error from server (Forbidden): User "system:serviceaccount:devpod-observer:devpod-observer" cannot create resource "workflows"

# No workflows with acb-images-build template found
$ kubectl --server=http://traefik-iad-ci.tail1b1987.ts.net:8001 get workflows -n argo-workflows
No resources found

# Kubeconfig files not present
$ ls ~/.kube/*.kubeconfig
ls: cannot access: No such file or directory

Recommendation

Set up the iad-ci.kubeconfig file. This is a one-time infrastructure task that will unblock all future iad-ci workflow operations. The kubeconfig provides cluster-admin access to the CI/CD cluster where all Argo Workflows run.

Resolution Path

1. External Action Required: Obtain iad-ci.kubeconfig from Rackspace Spot Console
2. Submit acb-images-build workflow to build enrichment image
3. Retrieve image SHA from completed workflow
4. Update deployment manifest in declarative-config
5. Push to declarative-config (ArgoCD syncs to apexalgo-iad)
