# PostgreSQL GitOps Bootstrap This stack uses ExternalSecrets to materialize runtime credentials from Vault. The GitOps manifests intentionally do not store secret values. ## Vault paths expected by this stack - `postgresql.svc.plus` - `POSTGRES_USER` - `POSTGRES_PASSWORD` - `GHCR_USERNAME` - `GHCR_TOKEN` ## Bootstrap rule Before or during initial reconciliation, the Vault key `postgresql.svc.plus` must be seeded with the runtime credentials expected by the manifests in this directory. Otherwise the ExternalSecrets controller will report `Secret does not exist`. ## Helper Use `scripts/seed-vault-postgresql.sh` from a trusted admin shell to write the expected Vault keys from local environment variables or existing K8s Secrets. The ingress domain is `postgresql-prod.svc.plus` for this prod cluster. The shared TLS Secret for `postgresql-tls` is synchronized by the `platform/postgresql-tls-sync` GitOps CronJob into `database/postgresql-tls`, which `stunnel-server` consumes directly. Do not commit the secret values to Git.
