Problem

The Flux ImageUpdateAutomation resource at flux/image-automation/imageupdateautomation.yaml needs a Kubernetes secret named gitea-image-automation-token in the flux-system namespace. This write-scoped token allows Flux to push image-tag update commits back to leeworks-agents/api-company whenever a new container image is pushed to the registry.

This is item #9 in docs/secrets-checklist.md but has no dedicated tracking issue, unlike the other secrets issues (#76 for item 1, #77 for item 2, #70 for item 3, #73 for item 4, #74 for item 5, #79 for item 8).

What the operator must do

  1. Create a new Gitea personal access token with write:repository scope:

    • Gitea → User Settings → Applications → Generate Token
    • Scopes: write:repository
    • Note: Do NOT reuse gitea-leeworks-agents-token (issue #76) — that token is read-only (read:repository). A separate write-scoped token is required.
  2. Create the Kubernetes secret in flux-system:

kubectl create secret generic gitea-image-automation-token \
  -n flux-system \
  --from-literal=username=leeworks-agents \
  --from-literal=password=<TOKEN_WITH_WRITE_REPO_SCOPE>
  1. Verify and trigger reconciliation:
kubectl get secret gitea-image-automation-token -n flux-system
flux reconcile imageupdateautomation api-company -n flux-system

Acceptance criteria

  • kubectl get secret gitea-image-automation-token -n flux-system returns the secret
  • flux get imageupdateautomations -n flux-system shows api-company as READY=True
  • When a new image is pushed to registry.leeworks.dev, Flux automatically commits an image-tag update to leeworks-agents/api-company

Dependencies

Note

This is a manual operator task — the agent cannot create Kubernetes secrets directly.

(Reference: ROADMAP.md §Phase 3; docs/secrets-checklist.md item #9)

## Problem The Flux `ImageUpdateAutomation` resource at `flux/image-automation/imageupdateautomation.yaml` needs a Kubernetes secret named `gitea-image-automation-token` in the `flux-system` namespace. This write-scoped token allows Flux to push image-tag update commits back to `leeworks-agents/api-company` whenever a new container image is pushed to the registry. This is item #9 in `docs/secrets-checklist.md` but has no dedicated tracking issue, unlike the other secrets issues (#76 for item 1, #77 for item 2, #70 for item 3, #73 for item 4, #74 for item 5, #79 for item 8). ## What the operator must do 1. Create a **new** Gitea personal access token with `write:repository` scope: - Gitea → User Settings → Applications → Generate Token - Scopes: `write:repository` - **Note:** Do NOT reuse `gitea-leeworks-agents-token` (issue #76) — that token is read-only (`read:repository`). A separate write-scoped token is required. 2. Create the Kubernetes secret in `flux-system`: ```bash kubectl create secret generic gitea-image-automation-token \ -n flux-system \ --from-literal=username=leeworks-agents \ --from-literal=password=<TOKEN_WITH_WRITE_REPO_SCOPE> ``` 3. Verify and trigger reconciliation: ```bash kubectl get secret gitea-image-automation-token -n flux-system flux reconcile imageupdateautomation api-company -n flux-system ``` ## Acceptance criteria - `kubectl get secret gitea-image-automation-token -n flux-system` returns the secret - `flux get imageupdateautomations -n flux-system` shows `api-company` as `READY=True` - When a new image is pushed to `registry.leeworks.dev`, Flux automatically commits an image-tag update to `leeworks-agents/api-company` ## Dependencies - Depends on leeworks-agents/api-company#2 (Flux wiring must be active before ImageUpdateAutomation reconciles) - Depends on leeworks-agents/api-company#4 (registry must be running so new images trigger updates) - Depends on leeworks-agents/api-company#47 (upstream repo must exist) - Unblocks automated image promotion for all three API services ## Note This is a **manual operator task** — the agent cannot create Kubernetes secrets directly. _(Reference: ROADMAP.md §Phase 3; docs/secrets-checklist.md item #9)_

@devops — Triage 2026-05-28

Role: @devops (Flux image automation secret provisioning)

Status: BLOCKED — manual operator task. Agent cannot create Kubernetes secrets or Gitea tokens.

This issue requires the human operator to create a write-scoped Gitea PAT and provision the gitea-image-automation-token secret in flux-system. The ImageUpdateAutomation manifest is already committed at flux/image-automation/imageupdateautomation.yaml.

Operator action required (P2)

  1. Generate a new Gitea PAT with write:repository scope (do NOT reuse the read-only token from #76):

    • Gitea → User Settings → Applications → Generate Token
    • Scopes: write:repository
  2. Create the Kubernetes secret:

kubectl create secret generic gitea-image-automation-token \
  -n flux-system \
  --from-literal=username=leeworks-agents \
  --from-literal=password=<TOKEN_WITH_WRITE_REPO_SCOPE>
  1. Trigger reconciliation and verify:
kubectl get secret gitea-image-automation-token -n flux-system
flux reconcile imageupdateautomation api-company -n flux-system
flux get imageupdateautomations -n flux-system

Dependencies

  • Requires #2 (Flux GitRepository + Kustomization wired)
  • Requires #4 (registry running so new image pushes trigger updates)
  • Requires #47 (upstream repo exists)

kustomize build flux/ = PASS — no regressions this cycle.
