matsandClaude Sonnet 5.5 242bcd98d9 migrate: read the live address overrides from the zones ConfigMap, not the seed
The old console kept the zone files and the live address-overrides.rpz in the
same fancy-dns-zones ConfigMap; fancy-dns-rpz was only the static seed the
overrides started from. Reading the live cluster showed the two had diverged
(6 entries against 5, the missing one being stackship.k6n.net), so the default
would have silently dropped a redirect. The default is now fancy-dns-zones, and
the test puts a different stale seed in fancy-dns-rpz so reading the wrong one
fails.

# Moving a ConfigMap deployment to cluster objects
Until now the console edited zones and address redirects by writing two
ConfigMap (`fancy-dns-zones`: zone files and the live address overrides) through
the resolver's service account (`fancy-dns-rpz` was only the seed the overrides
started from), and the domains page rewrote the config file. Those mechanisms are gone.
Everything the console edits is now an object:
| Was | Is |
|---|---|
| `zone--<apex>.zone` keys in the `fancy-dns-zones` ConfigMap | `DNSZone` |
| the `address-overrides.rpz` key in the **same** `fancy-dns-zones` ConfigMap | `AddressOverride` (one per name) |
| `blocklist.allow_entries` / `block_entries` | `DomainRule` (`inline-allow`, `inline-block`) |
| `blocklist.lists` with a URL | `BlockList` |
| `acl.groups` | `ClientGroup` |
| listeners, upstreams, cache, `default_policy` | still the resolver's YAML |
The old resolver does not read the objects and the new one does not read the
ConfigMaps, so the order below matters: **create the objects while the old
resolver is still serving, switch, then delete the ConfigMaps.** Nothing here
deletes anything until the last step.
## 1. Install the definitions and permissions
```sh
kubectl apply -f deploy/k8s/crds/crds.yaml
kubectl apply -k deploy/k8s/crds # lets the resolver's service account read the objects
kubectl apply -f deploy/k8s/console/console.yaml # the console, which writes them (create its two Secrets first)
```
## 2. Convert what you have
The command reads the ConfigMap from the cluster and, if you give it the
resolver's `config.yaml`, its URL lists, inline entries and ACL groups. By
default it only **prints** manifests.
```sh
kubectl -n dns get cm fancy-dns-config -o jsonpath='{.data.config\.yaml}' > /tmp/config.yaml
FANCYDNS_API_KEY=unused \
fancy-dns-console migrate -kube-namespace dns -config /tmp/config.yaml > migrated.yaml
```
(`FANCYDNS_API_KEY=unused`: the config expands `${VAR}` references and refuses an
unset one; the value is not used.) Read `migrated.yaml`, and read what the
command printed on stderr:
* `converted:` lines say what became an object and what to remove from the config.
* `NOT converted:` lines are things it could not represent faithfully (a zone
with a record type the console does not write, a list that is a file on the
pod, a name that is not a legal object name). Those stay where they are.
Commit `migrated.yaml` if you manage the cluster with GitOps, or apply it:
```sh
fancy-dns-console migrate -kube-namespace dns -config /tmp/config.yaml -apply
```
It is safe to run again: objects are created or updated, never duplicated.
## 3. Switch the resolver
* Start it with `-kube` (the StatefulSet in `deploy/k8s/10-deployment.yaml` does).
* In `config.yaml`, remove what moved: the `edge-router-x-address-overrides` list
and any other list you converted, `acl.groups`, the inline entries,
`blocklist.managed_zones` and the `fancy-dns-zones` glob in `local_zones`.
* Roll it out.
## 4. Check before you delete anything
```sh
kubectl -n dns get dnszones,addressoverrides,clientgroups,blocklists,domainrules
curl -s https://<console>/api/status # components.degraded must not mention kubernetes
dig @<resolver> <a name from each zone and override>
```
A rejected object is not a silent failure: it is logged by the resolver, the
node reports "kubernetes: objects rejected" as degraded, and an object that was
valid before keeps its last good version.
## 5. Delete the old ConfigMaps
Only now:
```sh
kubectl -n dns delete cm fancy-dns-zones fancy-dns-rpz
```
If your GitOps tool prunes, remove them from the repository **after** step 4, not
before: they hold the only copy of the data until the objects exist.
