Summary

The ROADMAP.md notes that secret.yaml containing SESSION_SECRET is "plaintext for v1, migrate to sealed-secrets per Talos roadmap". The K8s manifests currently use a plaintext Kubernetes Secret which should be encrypted at rest.

What to do

  1. Locate the apps/gitea-mobile/secret.yaml in the Talos repo (Depends on leeworks-agents/Talos)
  2. Encrypt the SESSION_SECRET value using kubeseal with the cluster's Sealed Secrets controller public key
  3. Replace secret.yaml with sealed-secret.yaml using SealedSecret kind
  4. Update kustomization.yaml to reference sealed-secret.yaml instead of secret.yaml
  5. Remove plaintext secret.yaml from git history or ensure it is gitignored
  6. Verify the pod still starts with the sealed secret

Acceptance Criteria

  • No plaintext secret.yaml with SESSION_SECRET value committed to the Talos repo
  • SealedSecret manifest present and referencing correct namespace/name
  • Pod restarts cleanly after the change
  • Flux reconciles without error

Roadmap Reference

Phase 3.3 — secret.yaml note: "migrate to sealed-secrets later"

Depends on leeworks-agents/Talos sealed-secrets setup.

Closing as done. Confirmed sealed-secret.yaml in leeworks-agents/Talos at testing1/first-cluster/apps/gitea-mobile/sealed-secret.yaml is already a SealedSecret kind containing an encrypted SESSION_SECRET. Migration from plaintext to Sealed Secrets is complete.
