What an anonymous visitor can do here is not "read a page": they can make this pod fetch and transcode arbitrary videos from the internet — your egress, your CPU, your IP address in the logs of whatever site is being pulled from, and your ephemeral storage. Assume it is found. Hosts get scanned, and certificate transparency logs publish every name cert-manager requests, so "nobody knows the URL" has a half-life of hours. The intended fix is in this chart: oauth2-proxy: enabled: true ingress: enabled: true hosts: ["{{ .Values.ingress.domain }}"] ingress: enabled: false # the proxy owns the host from then on Anything else in front of it — an ingress-nginx auth annotation, a network policy, a VPN-only ingress class — has to come from ingress.annotations or from outside this chart. {{- end }} {{- if and $proxy.enabled .Values.ingress.enabled }} WARNING — THE APP'S OWN INGRESS IS A WAY PAST THE PROXY Both oauth2-proxy.enabled and ingress.enabled are true. The chart only refuses this when both claim the SAME host; here they do not, so it renders — but https://{{ .Values.ingress.domain }} reaches the application directly, with no authentication in front of it, whatever the proxy does on its own host. Unless that is deliberate, set ingress.enabled=false. {{- end }} {{- if $proxy.enabled }} THE PROXY IS A SUBCHART, AND THAT HAS TWO CONSEQUENCES 1. Its version comes from THIS chart's Chart.yaml (oauth2-proxy {{ (first .Chart.Dependencies).Version | default "" }}) and is baked into the packaged chart. Nothing that watches Helm release versions can see it, so a new proxy release — a security fix included — arrives only when a new ytdlp-web-player version is released. There is no second place that would notice; do not wait for one. 2. Its templates are upstream's. It does not follow this repo's hardening, probe and resource conventions, and we deliberately do not patch it. Give it values (oauth2-proxy.resources, .securityContext, …) if you want that shape. SECRETS — WHAT THE 1PASSWORD ITEM MUST CARRY {{ if .Values.secrets.oauth2ProxySecretRef }}{{ .Values.secrets.oauth2ProxySecretRef }}{{ else }}(secrets.oauth2ProxySecretRef is not set){{ end }} → Secret {{ .Release.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Name }}-oauth2-proxy-secret client-id the OIDC client id client-secret its secret cookie-secret 16, 24 or 32 bytes, URL-SAFE base64 The operator copies the item's FIELD NAMES into the Secret's keys, so those three spellings are exact. A field named differently does not fail this install — the Secret is written without that key and the proxy pod sits in CreateContainerConfigError, which looks like a broken chart. Generate the cookie secret as openssl rand -base64 32 | tr '+/' '-_' The tr is not cosmetic: oauth2-proxy decodes the value as URL-safe base64 first, so a standard-base64 value containing + or / fails to decode and the pod exits with "cookie_secret must be 16, 24, or 32 bytes". Repointing secrets.oauth2ProxySecretRef at a different item does NOT restart the proxy — the subchart's pod template is unchanged by it, and Helm never sees a Secret's content anyway: kubectl -n {{ .Release.Namespace }} rollout restart deployment/{{ .Release.Name }}-oauth2-proxy THE PROVIDER IS THE ONLY GATE, AND IT IS WIDER THAN IT LOOKS The proxy is configured with email_domains = ["*"], so it admits every identity the provider hands it. Which people that is, is decided ENTIRELY by the group or policy binding on the provider application — and this app has no second login behind the proxy, unlike the other instances in the cluster. A forgotten or too-wide binding therefore does not mean "one more user", it means every account the provider knows. Check that binding when you set this up, not later. Two settings in the default configFile are load-bearing; do not remove them while trimming: reverse_proxy = true else every redirect is built on http:// behind the TLS ingress — a loop session_cookie_minimal = true else id_token and access_token go into the session cookie, a longer group list pushes it past 4kB, and the browser drops it: the symptom is HTTP 502 AFTER a successful login, with [AuthSuccess] in the log Its companion belongs on the proxy's Ingress: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-buffer-size: "16k" And leave alphaConfig.enabled false. With it on, the subchart generates a config WITHOUT upstreams and ignores config.configFile silently — the login succeeds and the app answers 404. NOT MEASURED: HLS PLAYBACK THROUGH THE PROXY Rendering and wiring are verified; a long HLS stream through proxy and ingress is not. Three places to look first if playback stalls where a direct ingress works: proxy-buffering in ingress-nginx, its 60-second proxy-read/send timeouts, and the proxy's own upstream timeout. Browser extension and PWA are unverified too — an expired session answers with a redirect to the provider, not a 401, and a fetch() sees only an opaque redirect. {{- end }} A READY POD DOES NOT MEAN A VIDEO WILL PLAY All three probes request "/", which renders the player page and touches neither the network nor ffmpeg. That is on purpose — it is the only cheap path the app has, and it keeps a slow upstream site from restarting the pod. The price is that egress problems are invisible to Kubernetes: with DNS broken or outbound traffic blocked, "/" still answers 200, the rollout goes green, and every playback fails. Check it from the outside instead: kubectl -n {{ .Release.Namespace }} logs deployment/{{ .Release.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Name }}-deployment A failing fetch shows up there as a yt-dlp error line, never as a probe failure. The startup budget is {{ $startup.periodSeconds }}s x {{ $startup.failureThreshold }} = {{ mul $startup.periodSeconds $startup.failureThreshold }}s, which only has to cover the first process start. THE VIDEO CACHE IS AN emptyDir — AND IT IS AN EVICTION RISK, NOT A DISK DATA_PATH is /data, backed by an emptyDir. Two things follow: Nothing survives. A restart, a node drain, an eviction or a helm upgrade empties it, and every cached video is fetched again on demand. That is the intended shape — the app expires files by itself after MAX_VIDEO_AGE — but do not treat it as storage. An emptyDir counts against the container's ephemeral-storage limit ({{ $eph }}){{ if (.Values.storage).dataSizeLimit }}, and storage.dataSizeLimit ({{ (.Values.storage).dataSizeLimit }}) caps it a second time{{ end }}. Going over it is not an application error: the kubelet evicts the whole pod, the reason sits on the pod rather than in any log, and everything in flight goes with it. Raising the limit is the wrong first move — the knobs that decide how much lands there are in ytdlpWebPlayer.env: MAX_VIDEO_DURATION upstream default 36000 (ten hours, one enormous file) MAX_VIDEO_AGE upstream default 3600 (seconds after last access) MAX_PROCESSES upstream default 5 (concurrent ffmpeg/yt-dlp) Currently set here: {{ if $env }}{{ range $k, $v := $env }}{{ $k }}={{ $v }} {{ end }}{{ else }}none — all upstream defaults apply{{ end }} yt-dlp DOES NOT UPDATE ITSELF IN THIS CHART On start and periodically the app runs "pip install --upgrade yt-dlp" into its own site-packages. With readOnlyRootFilesystem: true that write cannot happen; the app catches the failure and carries on with the version baked into the image (verified — the container starts, serves and transcodes normally, the update attempt just does nothing). This is the right trade in a cluster — a pod that pulls unpinned code off the network on every restart is not something to want — but know the consequence: when a video site changes its extraction and playback breaks, waiting does not fix it. The fix arrives as a new app image, i.e. a new appVersion of this chart. There is no in-place update path. The tools' CACHE is a separate matter and is writable on purpose: /cache is an emptyDir, with HOME and XDG_CACHE_HOME pointed at it, holding deno's module cache and yt-dlp's JavaScript challenge-solver library. Without it the pod still works, but re-fetches that library from github.com on every extraction — so if egress is restricted, github.com belongs on the allow list either way, and doubly so if this volume is ever removed. ytdlpWebPlayer.env IS APPENDED, NOT MERGED The entries land after DATA_PATH and PORT, which the chart sets itself. Do not set those two here: Kubernetes applies the LAST entry of the list, so a duplicate silently wins and points the app away from its writable volume or off the port that the Service and all three probes use. Everything else the upstream understands is fair game; src/example.env in the upstream repository is the authoritative list. {{- if gt (atoi $replicas) 1 }} MORE THAN ONE REPLICA SHARES NOTHING ytdlpWebPlayer.replicas is {{ $replicas }}. Each pod has its own /data emptyDir, so a video fetched by one is invisible to the other, and without session affinity the segment requests of a single playback are spread across both — which looks like a stuttering or failing stream rather than an error. Pin clients to a pod at the ingress, or stay at one replica. {{- end }} WHAT THIS CHART DELIBERATELY DOES NOT DO No cookies.txt: videos that require a login on the source site do not work, and there is no value to make them work. No PersistentVolume. No mirror of the upstream's twenty environment switches as chart values — they live in ytdlpWebPlayer.env, so an upstream release cannot make this chart lie.
