claw 25545ee7ca fix(k8s): rename deployment/service/ingress to news-site
Align new manifest names with the live deployment so CI replaces
the existing news-site deployment instead of creating a parallel
signalledger one.

Changes:
- deployment name: signalledger -> news-site
- service name: signalledger -> news-site
- ingress name: signalledger -> news-site
- selector labels: app.kubernetes.io/name -> app: news-site
- ingress backend service: signalledger -> news-site
- ingress hosts: add news.claw.jopdorp.nl, keep signalledger.nl + www
- TLS secret: signalledger-tls -> news-site-tls (existing live secret)
- CI rollout target: deployment/signalledger -> deployment/news-site

Architecture Decision Record (ADR)

ADR-002: Ingress Controller Migration (nginx → Traefik)

Status: Accepted

Context: The cluster uses Traefik as its ingress controller. The initial K8s manifests were written with ingressClassName: nginx and nginx-specific annotations. This caused a mismatch: the Ingress resource was never picked up by any controller, leaving the site unreachable via the configured domains.

Decision: Migrate all ingress configuration to Traefik-native resources.

  1. Ingress class: Changed from nginx to traefik.
  2. Annotations: Replaced nginx-specific configuration-snippet with Traefik router.entrypoints, router.tls, and router.middlewares annotations.
  3. Security headers: Extracted from inline nginx snippets into a dedicated Middleware CRD (k8s/middleware.yaml). This keeps header policy declarative and reusable.

Migration strategy: In-place update

  • The namespace openclaw-private already exists.
  • The deployment, service, and TLS secret are unchanged.
  • We apply the new Ingress and Middleware manifests; Traefik picks them up immediately.
  • Rolling back is a single kubectl apply of the previous manifest version.

Consequences:

  • Positive: Aligns with cluster infrastructure. No extra ingress controller needed.
  • Positive: Middleware CRD is cleaner and version-controllable than inline snippets.
  • Risk: Traefik middleware syntax errors will cause 404/500 until fixed. Mitigated by validating manifests in CI before deploy.

Deployment

Prerequisites

  • Kubernetes cluster with Traefik and cert-manager installed.
  • registry.claw.jopdorp.nl push access.
  • KUBECONFIG_BASE64 and REGISTRY_TOKEN secrets configured in Gitea.

CI/CD Pipeline

Gitea Actions workflow (.gitea/workflows/build-and-deploy.yaml):

  1. Build and test on every PR/push.
  2. Build and push Docker image on merge to main.
  3. Apply K8s manifests and wait for rollout.

Manual Deploy

kubectl apply -f k8s/namespace.yaml
kubectl apply -f k8s/middleware.yaml
kubectl apply -f k8s/deployment.yaml
kubectl apply -f k8s/service.yaml
kubectl apply -f k8s/ingress.yaml
kubectl rollout status deployment/news-site -n openclaw-private --timeout=120s
