Phase 7 Plan 01: ArgoCD Registration Summary

TaskPlanner registered with ArgoCD using internal Gitea cluster URLs, achieving Synced status with automated GitOps deployment

Performance

• Duration: 21 min
• Started: 2026-02-03T14:06:28Z
• Completed: 2026-02-03T14:27:33Z
• Tasks: 3
• Files modified: 3

Accomplishments

• ArgoCD repository secret created with correct credentials and internal cluster URL
• Application manifest updated to use admin/taskplaner repository path
• CI workflow configured to push images to correct registry path
• TaskPlanner synced and running via ArgoCD GitOps workflow

Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

1. Task 1: Create ArgoCD repository secret - 54f933b (chore)
2. Task 2: Update and apply ArgoCD Application manifest - eff251c (feat)
3. Task 3: Fix repository path - 5a4d9ed (fix)

Files Created/Modified

• argocd/repo-secret.yaml - Documentation for taskplaner-repo secret (actual secret created via kubectl)
• argocd/application.yaml - ArgoCD Application using internal Gitea URL
• .gitea/workflows/build.yaml - CI workflow with correct image path (admin/taskplaner)

Decisions Made

• Repository path changed to admin/taskplaner: Original plan specified tho/taskplaner, but Gitea user 'tho' doesn't exist. Created repository under admin user.
• Used correct Gitea password: The gitea-repo secret had stale password in data field but original password in annotation. Used original password for new secrets.
• Built and pushed image locally: Gitea Actions runner not available (workflows queued), so built and pushed Docker image manually to unblock deployment.

Deviations from Plan

Auto-fixed Issues

1. [Rule 3 - Blocking] Repository path doesn't exist

• Found during: Task 2 (ArgoCD Application sync)
• Issue: Plan specified tho/taskplaner.git but user 'tho' doesn't exist in Gitea
• Fix: Created repository under admin user (admin/taskplaner), updated all URLs
• Files modified: argocd/application.yaml, argocd/repo-secret.yaml, .gitea/workflows/build.yaml
• Verification: ArgoCD synced successfully
• Committed in: 5a4d9ed

2. [Rule 3 - Blocking] Gitea password mismatch

• Found during: Task 1 (Repository secret creation)
• Issue: gitea-repo secret data showed admin123 but API auth needed original password
• Fix: Retrieved correct password from annotation, used for all new secrets
• Files modified: Secrets created via kubectl
• Verification: ArgoCD authentication succeeded

3. [Rule 3 - Blocking] Container image doesn't exist

• Found during: Task 3 (Waiting for healthy status)
• Issue: Pod in ImagePullBackOff - no image in registry, CI runner not available
• Fix: Built and pushed Docker image locally to git.kube2.tricnet.de/admin/taskplaner:latest
• Files modified: None (local build/push)
• Verification: Pod running 1/1, health endpoint returns ok

---

Total deviations: 3 auto-fixed (all blocking issues) Impact on plan: All fixes necessary to complete registration. Exposed infrastructure gaps (missing CI runner, incorrect secrets).

Issues Encountered

• ArgoCD health status shows "Progressing" instead of "Healthy" despite pod running and health endpoint returning ok
• Gitea Actions workflows stuck in "queued" state - no runner available in cluster
• These are infrastructure issues that don't affect the core GitOps functionality

User Setup Required

None - all secrets created automatically. However, for ongoing CI/CD:

• Gitea Actions runner needs to be deployed to run build workflows automatically
• Registry secrets should use consistent password across all services

Next Phase Readiness

• ArgoCD registration complete - pushes to master will trigger sync
• Need to deploy Gitea Actions runner for automatic builds
• Ready for Phase 08 (Logging) - can observe ArgoCD sync events
