# 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. TLS for `postgresql-tls` is now owned directly by cert-manager in both the `platform` and `database` namespaces, so `stunnel-server` can mount the database-local Secret without any cross-namespace sync job. Do not commit the secret values to Git.
