fix(plane-enterprise): stop forcing TLS on the Traefik ingress

[pratapalakshmi]

What

Three related changes to how charts/plane-enterprise decides whether an install is HTTPS, plus documentation for the resulting options.

1. The Traefik route no longer forces TLS. templates/ingress-traefik.yaml hardcoded HTTPS in two places — it pinned the websecure entrypoint and emitted its tls: block unconditionally:

spec:
  entryPoints:
    - websecure          # never any HTTP listener
  ...
  tls:                   # outside any `if`
    secretName: {{ default (printf "%s-ssl-cert" .Release.Name) .Values.ssl.tls_secret_name }}

2. A new ssl.externalTermination for TLS terminated in front of Plane.

3. ingress.traefik.entryPoints as an escape hatch for renamed entrypoints.

All three are driven by two helpers in _helpers.tpl, splitting a question the chart previously conflated:

plane.chartManagedCert = tls_secret_name OR (generateCerts AND createIssuer)   → `tls:` block + entrypoint
plane.tlsEnabled       = chartManagedCert OR ssl.externalTermination           → https:// URL scheme only
ingress.traefik.entryPoints                                                    → entrypoint override

Each setting controls exactly one thing.

Also collapses the 9 duplicated copies of the old condition in config-secrets/ onto plane.tlsEnabled, and bumps the chart 3.3.0 → 3.4.0.

Why

The bug. With the shipped defaults (ssl.tls_secret_name: '', generateCerts: false, createIssuer: false) a Traefik install was unreachable over HTTP and had no valid certificate. The route advertised <release>-ssl-cert, a Secret that templates/certs/certs.yaml:1 only creates when createIssuer and generateCerts are both true, so Traefik fell back to its built-in self-signed cert. Reported by a user deploying to an <ip>.sslip.io domain on DigitalOcean, who had to attach a self-signed cert to get in at all.

This contradicted the rest of the chart, which already treats SSL as opt-in — templates/ingress.yaml gates its tls: block, and app-env / live-env / silo / pi-api-env render WEB_URL, APP_BASE_URL, PLANE_FRONTEND_URL, PLANE_OAUTH_REDIRECT_URI, EXPORT_DOWNLOAD_BASE_URL with an http:// scheme under the same condition. The Traefik route was the sole outlier, so the ingress served HTTPS while the app advertised http:// to itself.

Why the second change. Fixing only the first leaves a gap: TLS terminated upstream is invisible to the chart. An ALB with an ACM cert, an NLB with a TLS listener, Cloudflare, a service mesh, or a Traefik entrypoint carrying its own cert all mean "users are on https://" while this chart owns no Secret. Those installs had no way to say so — they got http:// app URLs while actually being served over HTTPS (blocked mixed content, OAuth callbacks failing the provider's exact-match check, broken export links), and after change 1 their route would also drop to the plain-HTTP entrypoint.

generateCerts: false cannot express it either: that is the default, and it is equally true of "plain HTTP, no TLS anywhere" and "HTTPS terminated upstream" — two states needing opposite URL schemes.

Splitting the condition matters because "traffic is HTTPS" and "this chart owns a Secret" are different questions, and only the second may gate a tls: block — naming a Secret nothing creates is the original bug.

How TLS actually terminates, and why externalTermination exists

1. The bug: Traefik's self-signed fallback

Traefik does not fail when a route names a Secret that does not exist. It falls
back to TRAEFIK DEFAULT CERT, a self-signed certificate generated at startup,
logs nothing, and stays healthy — which is why this shipped:

sequenceDiagram
    autonumber
    participant B as Browser
    participant T as Traefik websecure
    participant K as Kubernetes API
    participant P as Plane pods

    B->>T: TLS ClientHello, SNI plane.example.com
    Note over T: IngressRoute declares<br/>tls.secretName = release-ssl-cert
    T->>K: read Secret release-ssl-cert
    K-->>T: NotFound
    Note over T: no certificate matches the SNI,<br/>fall back to TRAEFIK DEFAULT CERT<br/>self-signed, generated at startup
    T-->>B: self-signed certificate
    Note over B: ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID<br/>Traefik logs no error, pods stay Ready
    B->>P: request proceeds after the user clicks through
    P-->>B: WEB_URL = "http://plane.example.com"
    Note over B: app served over https advertises http to itself:<br/>mixed content blocked, OAuth callback fails,<br/>export links broken

Loading

Two independent failures in one render: an untrusted certificate, and an app
telling the browser http:// about itself while being served over HTTPS.

2. Where TLS terminates per topology

The chart cannot see anything left of the Traefik box. Green = TLS terminates
here, orange = plaintext hop, blue = the one case where the chart owns the
Secret:

Note lanes 4a and 4b: same URL scheme, opposite entrypoints. An
upstream terminator forwards cleartext, which arrives on web; a Traefik
entrypoint carrying its own certificate serves TLS on websecure. A single
boolean cannot pick both, which is what the entryPoints override is for — and
what CodeRabbit correctly flagged in the first revision of this PR.

3. Why generateCerts: false cannot express this

generateCerts: false is the default and is equally true of "plain HTTP, no TLS
anywhere" (lane absent) and "HTTPS terminated upstream" (4a/4b) — two states
needing opposite URL schemes. So the condition splits in two, and
externalTermination feeds only the scheme:

Loading

ssl.externalTermination deliberately reaches neither the tls: block nor the
entrypoint. Naming a Secret nothing creates is the original bug; moving the
entrypoint breaks 4a.

Scope / behavior

Rendering is unchanged for every pre-existing configuration. New behavior only where it was broken:

ssl configuration	Traefik entrypoint	tls: block	App URL scheme	vs 3.3.0
nothing set	web	—	http://	fixed (was websecure + dangling Secret)
tls_secret_name	websecure	your Secret	https://	unchanged
generateCerts + createIssuer	websecure	<release>-ssl-cert	https://	unchanged
generateCerts alone	web	—	http://	fixed (was a dangling Secret — no cert is minted without createIssuer)
externalTermination: true (4a — upstream terminator)	web	—	https://	new
externalTermination: true + entryPoints: ['websecure'] (4b — Traefik terminates)	websecure	—	https://	new

Explicitly not affected: templates/ingress.yaml (nginx), templates/certs/* and the OpenTelemetry templates from #248 are untouched, and the config-secrets/ refactor is behavior-neutral with externalTermination: false.

Docs

README.md gains a TLS options section built around the decision a user actually makes: one table mapping each environment to the entrypoint / tls: block / URL scheme, then a copy-pasteable recipe per option (no TLS, bring-your-own Secret, cert-manager, terminated upstream), the entrypoint override, an upgrade note, and the Traefik caveat below. ingress.traefik.entryPoints, ingress.traefik.maxRequestBodyBytes and ssl.externalTermination are also added to the Ingress and SSL Setup reference table so they are discoverable where settings get looked up.

Testing

Post-rebase (current HEAD, base ce1034c)

Full-chart render diff against origin/master, comparing parsed YAML object-by-object with the helm.sh/chart label and render timestamp normalized out:

[nothing set]                  base=42 head=42 objects | differing: 1  → IngressRoute/t-ingress (the fix)
[tls_secret_name]              base=42 head=42 objects | differing: 0
[generateCerts+createIssuer]   base=45 head=45 objects | differing: 0
[otel enabled]                 base=43 head=43 objects | differing: 1  → IngressRoute only; otel objects identical
[nginx, nothing set]           base=41 head=41 objects | differing: 0
[nginx, tls_secret_name]       base=41 head=41 objects | differing: 0

So the 9-condition refactor changes nothing, the only object that moves is the one meant to, and the OpenTelemetry feature merged in #248 is unaffected.

Rendered IngressRoute and WEB_URL per option:

1  nothing set                      entryPoints=['web']              tls=NONE                     http://
2  tls_secret_name                  entryPoints=['websecure']        tls={secretName: my-tls}     https://
3  generateCerts+createIssuer       entryPoints=['websecure']        tls={secretName: t-ssl-cert} https://
4a externalTermination              entryPoints=['web']              tls=NONE                     https://
4b externalTermination + websecure  entryPoints=['websecure']        tls=NONE                     https://
   entryPoints=websecure (scalar)   entryPoints=['websecure']
   entryPoints={websecure,web}      entryPoints=['websecure','web']

Also checked per option — web/no-tls: with nothing set, websecure+tls: for a chart-managed cert, websecure/no tls: for externalTermination, and entryPoints accepted as unset / [] / a list / a bare string (a scalar previously rendered a list-less mapping the CRD rejects — fixed in d1b55c3). helm lint passes; default install and otel + externalTermination together both render.

externalTermination: true flips exactly the intended keys and nothing else:

WEB_URL, PI_BASE_URL (×2), EXPORT_DOWNLOAD_BASE_URL, APP_BASE_URL, SILO_API_BASE_URL  →  https://
CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS  →  unchanged (lists both schemes by design)

With no TLS configured, secretName refs in the whole render: 0.

Pre-rebase live-cluster run

Run against the earlier revision of this branch, upgrading from released 3.2.1 pulled from helm.plane.so — a disposable namespace on plane-eks-dev with a self-contained stack (bundled postgres/redis/rabbitmq/minio), deleted afterwards. Not re-run after the rebase; the render diff above is the post-rebase evidence.

Step	Rev	Result
Install released 3.2.1 (ssl.tls_secret_name)	1	14/14 pods ready after migrations
Upgrade → this branch, same values	2	Succeeded; IngressRoute identical; 14/14 ready
ssl.externalTermination=true	3	websecure, no tls:, app URLs https://
No SSL at all (the reported bug)	4	web, no tls:, app URLs http://, 0 dangling Secret refs
helm rollback 1	5	Succeeded; back to websecure + the Secret, URLs https://

The bug demonstrated against a live cluster: rendering released 3.2.1 with the same no-SSL values yields tls: secretName: <release>-ssl-cert, and kubectl get secret on it returns NotFound.

Fleet survey: all 39 plane-enterprise IngressRoutes on plane-eks-dev use entryPoints: ["websecure"] with a chart-managed <release>-ssl-cert that exists — the entire fleet is in the "unchanged" bucket. No selector/immutable-field conflicts against any live manifest.

Traefik note

Both traefik-external and traefik-internal on that cluster are configured with:

--entryPoints.web.http.redirections.entryPoint.to=:443
--entryPoints.web.http.redirections.entryPoint.scheme=https
--entryPoints.websecure.http.tls=true

On a Traefik configured this way the web entrypoint answers every request with a permanent redirect before routing, so the plain-HTTP default cannot serve Plane — and websecure terminates TLS without a route-level tls: block, which is precisely what ssl.externalTermination: true is for. The README documents this with the command to check your own. Operators on a vanilla Traefik (no redirection) get the working HTTP default instead.

Reviewer note on option 4b. With externalTermination: true + entryPoints: ['websecure'] the route binds websecure and emits no tls: block, which relies on the entrypoint carrying http.tls=true (true on both instances above). On a Traefik without it the router is not marked TLS at all; Traefik's idiom there is an empty tls: {}. Not implemented, because tls: {} would break option 4a, where the route correctly sits on web. Expressing it would need a third state rather than a boolean — flagging for a second opinion, but 4a/4b now at least route correctly on both.

Upgrade notes

Anyone who configured TLS through ssl.* is unaffected. The one case needing action: empty ssl.* but TLS terminated at Traefik itself — that is option 4b, and it needs both settings, because externalTermination alone now correctly leaves the route on web:

ssl:
  externalTermination: true
ingress:
  traefik:
    entryPoints: ['websecure']

Unrelated but observed during the live test: every helm upgrade of this chart restarts the whole stack, including postgres — timestamp: {{ now | quote }} in each deployment's pod template (templates/workloads/api.deployment.yaml and siblings) plus helm.sh/chart in the pod-template labels, so a version bump rolls StatefulSets too. Dependents crash-loop briefly during the window (ENOTFOUND …-rabbitmq…, failed to resolve host …-pgdb…) and self-heal. Pre-existing, worth a separate issue.

• CodeRabbit review addressed. It flagged that externalTermination selecting websecure breaks upstream terminators that forward cleartext — a real routing bug (route on websecure, traffic on web, nothing matches, 404). Fixed in d9fd18b by keying the entrypoint on plane.chartManagedCert and leaving plane.tlsEnabled to the URL scheme alone. Also fixed the MD040 bare fence it reported.
• Rebased onto master (ce1034c) after feat(plane-enterprise): add OpenTelemetry traces/logs/metrics support #248 (OpenTelemetry) merged. Two conflicts, both in _helpers.tpl, where feat(plane-enterprise): add OpenTelemetry traces/logs/metrics support #248 appended helpers to the same end-of-file region — resolved by keeping both sides. Verified the otel path still renders (ConfigMap, headers Secret, per-workload OTEL_SERVICE_NAME) and is byte-identical to master.
• Chart version is now 3.4.0, not 3.2.2 as originally opened: master took 3.3.0 for feat(plane-enterprise): add OpenTelemetry traces/logs/metrics support #248. Note that feat(plane-enterprise): support OpenShift's restricted-v2 SCC and Route ingress #289 still claims 3.3.0 and will need to re-bump on its own rebase.
• Separate pre-existing bug, still on master, not fixed here: ingressClass: nginx fails to render outright once ingress.ingress_annotations is left commented out — templates/ingress.yaml:10 calls len on a nil pointer (error calling len: len of nil pointer). feat(plane-enterprise): support OpenShift's restricted-v2 SCC and Route ingress #289 already fixes this by switching to {{- with }}; flagging it since the nginx path is broken in the released chart.
• charts/plane-ce/templates/ingress-traefik.yaml has the identical TLS defect in three IngressRoutes (entryPoints at :11, :92, :116; tls: at :77, :102, :126). Left out to keep this scoped to the reported chart.

Walkthrough

The Helm chart adds shared TLS detection, external TLS termination support, configurable Traefik entrypoints, OpenTelemetry settings, expanded documentation, and a version increment to 3.4.0.

Changes

Chart configuration and observability

Layer / File(s)	Summary
TLS and Traefik configuration charts/plane-enterprise/values.yaml, charts/plane-enterprise/templates/_helpers.tpl	Adds ssl.externalTermination and ingress.traefik.entryPoints. Helpers determine certificate management, HTTPS status, and default or explicit Traefik entrypoints.
Ingress and application URL wiring charts/plane-enterprise/templates/ingress-traefik.yaml, charts/plane-enterprise/templates/config-secrets/*	IngressRoute entrypoints use the helper. TLS blocks render only for chart-managed certificates. Application, API, export, and OAuth URLs use shared TLS detection.
OpenTelemetry configuration and documentation charts/plane-enterprise/values.yaml, charts/plane-enterprise/README.md	Adds disabled-by-default backend and frontend tracing settings, an existing-secret option, and documentation for OpenTelemetry, TLS modes, entrypoints, and upgrades.
Chart release metadata charts/plane-enterprise/Chart.yaml	Updates the chart version to 3.4.0.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to d9fd1

The chart now separates certificate ownership from HTTPS URL generation and allows Traefik entrypoint overrides, with documented and rendered behavior for supported configurations. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

For the reported case: Traefik on an <ip>.sslip.io domain with no TLS

This is the configuration that the original report could not express, and what it renders on this branch.

license:
  licenseDomain: 164.90.152.31.sslip.io   # your <ip>.sslip.io

ingress:
  enabled: true
  ingressClass: traefik

ssl:
  tls_secret_name: ''
  createIssuer: false
  generateCerts: false
  externalTermination: false

Every key under ssl: above is already the chart default, so in practice you can omit the ssl: block entirely — it is spelled out here only to make the intent explicit. Note the hostname comes from license.licenseDomain; there is no separate ingress.appHost.

What it renders on this branch

entryPoints = ['web']
tls         = NONE

APP_BASE_URL             = "http://164.90.152.31.sslip.io"
WEB_URL                  = "http://164.90.152.31.sslip.io"
SILO_API_BASE_URL        = "http://164.90.152.31.sslip.io"
EXPORT_DOWNLOAD_BASE_URL = "http://164.90.152.31.sslip.io"

secretName refs in whole render: 0
Certificate objects:             0

Plane is reachable at http://164.90.152.31.sslip.io, no certificate is referenced anywhere, and the URLs the app is told about itself agree with how it is actually being served.

The same values on released 3.1.0 — the bug

entryPoints = ['websecure']                    <- no HTTP listener exists at all
tls         = {secretName: plane-ssl-cert}     <- referenced...
Certificate objects: 0                         <- ...but nothing creates it
WEB_URL     = "http://164.90.152.31.sslip.io"  <- and the app advertises http anyway

Three mutually contradictory things in one render. Traefik does not error on the missing Secret — it falls back to TRAEFIK DEFAULT CERT, a self-signed certificate generated at startup, logs nothing, and stays healthy. That is why the only way in was to attach a certificate manually.

One thing to check before relying on plain HTTP

If your Traefik redirects web to HTTPS in its static configuration, no chart change can serve plain HTTP — the redirect happens before routing:

kubectl get deploy -n <traefik-ns> <traefik-deploy> \
  -o jsonpath='{.spec.template.spec.containers[0].args}' | tr ',' '\n' | grep -i redirect

The official Traefik Helm chart leaves this off by default, so most installs are fine. If it is set, either drop the redirection or use the option below.

Recommended end state for a publicly-resolvable host

sslip.io resolves publicly, so cert-manager HTTP-01 works and yields a real trusted certificate rather than a self-signed one:

ssl:
  createIssuer: true
  generateCerts: true
  issuer: http
  email: you@example.com

Renders an Issuer with an http01 solver, a Certificate for the sslip.io name, entryPoints: ['websecure'], a tls: block, and https:// app URLs. Requires port 80 reachable from the internet for the challenge.

Worth verifying first: Let's Encrypt rate-limits per registered domain, so unless sslip.io is on the Public Suffix List you would share a quota with every other sslip.io user. Try staging before production:

ssl:
  server: https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
