jklein 4c1cff1744 feat(keycloak): new chart for Keycloak (1.0.0+up26.8.0)
Two replicas with cache=ispn, clustered through Keycloak's default jdbc-ping
stack: discovery runs over the PostgreSQL that is there anyway, so no headless
Service and no JGroups wiring. Deployment rather than StatefulSet - Keycloak 26
keeps everything in the database, user sessions included.

The chart's defining property is that it has TWO INIT CONTAINERS and needs
both. db, health-enabled and metrics-enabled are Keycloak BUILD options
(verified in the 26.8.0 option table), the published image is augmented with
their defaults, and supplying different ones at runtime makes Keycloak rewrite
/opt/keycloak/lib/quarkus at start - which readOnlyRootFilesystem: true forbids
and which upstream describes as a start that "creates an image that is
mutable". Not setting db is no way out: the probes alone force it, because
health-enabled is a build option too. An empty emptyDir over that path fails as
well, because QuarkusEntryPoint loads quarkus/quarkus-application.dat before it
dispatches any command, `build` included. So one init container seeds the
directory into a volume, the next runs `kc.sh build` into it, and the serving
container runs `start --optimized` - every container keeping the full hardening
baseline, with no documented deviation to carry.

Build options therefore exist in exactly one place, and the asymmetry is
enforced rather than trusted: the serving container passes no build option at
all, and a build option's variable name in keycloak.env fails the render with a
message naming it.

Hostname handling is the security-relevant part. KC_HOSTNAME is derived from
ingress.domain as a full URL (which upstream requires alongside hostname-admin),
hostname-strict stays at its default true, and proxy-headers is set rather than
optional. The admin hostname is NOT presented as an access control: upstream
states that hostname-admin "does not prevent accessing the Administration REST
API endpoints via the frontend URL specified by the hostname option", so the
chart renders no /admin deny rule and values.yaml, NOTES.txt and the wiki all
say in the same words that restricting that API is reverse-proxy work.

The management port 9000 is a containerPort and a ClusterIP Service for
in-cluster scraping, and is in no Ingress: it serves /health/* and optionally
/metrics without authentication. Liveness uses /health/live and deliberately
not /health or /health/ready - those include the database, and a liveness probe
on them would restart the whole cluster for as long as the database is away.

Also in this change:
- First PodDisruptionBudget in this repository, which makes it a convention
  (README section 11): minAvailable as a value, and rendered only while the
  computed replica count is >= 2, because minAvailable: 1 with one replica
  blocks every node drain forever with a message that names the PDB rather
  than the replica count.
- First quay.io image, so quay.io joins the trusted registries in
  ci/trivy/data/ksv0125.yaml - configured rather than suppressed, so
  AVD-KSV-0125 keeps being able to say something.
- Renovate block with NO version constraint, which is the counter-case to
  garage and stalwart and is measured rather than assumed: docker versioning
  already excludes the -N rebuild tags, the floating minors and latest/nightly.
  Three dry-run fixtures are recorded at the block, and against the committed
  config 26.7.4 offers exactly 26.7.5 (patch) and 26.8.0 (minor).
- No automerge exception, by decision (Gitea #83): the global automerge applies,
  and the minor-upgrade procedure plus `kc.sh update-compatibility` is
  documented in NOTES.txt instead.
- Two upstream defaults deviated from, each with its reason at the value:
  db-pool-max-size 20 instead of 100 (two replicas at 100 ask a default
  PostgreSQL for twice its max_connections), and uid 1000 / gid 0 instead of
  this repo's 20000/1000, because the image declares keycloak:x:1000:0 and
  chowns its install tree to that pair.

THE MANAGEMENT SERVICE, AND WHAT IT IS AND IS NOT FOR.
Keycloak serves /health, /health/live, /health/ready, /health/started and -
with keycloak.metrics.enabled - /metrics on the management port, and it serves
them WITHOUT AUTHENTICATION. The probes do not need this Service (the kubelet
addresses the container port directly); a metrics scraper or an uptime check
inside the cluster does, which is the only reason it exists.
IT IS A SEPARATE OBJECT FROM THE SERVING SERVICE ON PURPOSE. Putting port 9000
next to port 8080 on one Service would mean the Service an Ingress already
points at also carries the unauthenticated health and metrics surface - and
then publishing it is one wrong port name in an Ingress backend away, with
nothing in the diff that reads as a mistake. Separated, naming it is a
deliberate act.
AND IT MUST NEVER GET AN INGRESS. There is no value in this chart that would
publish it, and none should be added. An unauthenticated readiness endpoint on
the internet tells an attacker when the database is down; /metrics tells them
the realm and client names. Upstream's own alternative for this - setting
legacy-observability-interface=true, which moves health back onto the serving
port where the Ingress already is - is explicitly "not recommended for security
reasons", and this chart does not offer it.
