helm-charts/stalwart/values.yaml

# Stalwart — a cluster-capable mail server (SMTP, IMAP, POP3, JMAP, ManageSieve).
#
# READ THIS FIRST: THIS CHART CONFIGURES ALMOST NOTHING.
#
# Since v0.16 Stalwart keeps its entire configuration — over 2400 settings in
# 117 object types, including every listener, the blob store, the in-memory
# store, TLS objects, domains and the cluster roles — INSIDE the data store,
# managed over the JMAP API (WebUI or stalwart-cli). The only thing left on
# disk is a small config.json that names the data store and nothing else:
# "It only needs to contain the DataStore object"
# (https://stalw.art/docs/configuration/declarative-deployments).
#
# So this chart renders config.json, the workloads with their STALWART_ROLE,
# the Services, the NetworkPolicies, the Ingress and a cert-manager
# Certificate. Everything else is operator work in the WebUI, and the values
# below say for each block whether it configures Stalwart or only Kubernetes.
# A value that only describes something to Kubernetes is marked as such rather
# than left to look like application configuration.

# Scale the whole chart down without uninstalling it: scaleDown: true renders
# every StatefulSet with replicas: 0 and takes precedence over every
# nodes.<group>.replicas. Services, Ingress, Secrets and the Certificate stay
# in place, so no certificate is re-issued when you scale back up.
scaleDown: false

# Chart-wide default for the limit factor of every node group. A group may
# override it as nodes.<group>.resources.limitFactor, which always wins. Memory
# and ephemeral-storage limits are computed as limitFactor x the request; a CPU
# limit is only set when configured explicitly.
limitFactor: 3

secrets:
  # op:// path of the 1Password item carrying the data-store password in the
  # field "password".
  #
  # ONLY the password. The username cannot live here, and that is an upstream
  # constraint rather than a choice: on the DataStore object authSecret has the
  # type SecretKeyOptional (which has an EnvironmentVariable variant, and that
  # is what this chart uses) while authUsername is a plain String with no
  # secret form at all. So the username is the public value
  # dataStore.postgres.username below and ends up in the ConfigMap, while the
  # password never does.
  dataStoreSecretRef: null

  # op:// path of the 1Password item carrying the field "recovery-admin" with
  # the COMPLETE value of STALWART_RECOVERY_ADMIN, i.e. "admin:<password>" in
  # one string — the same shape as valkey's auth-conf field. The chart does not
  # assemble it from two fields, because a half-built credential ("admin:" with
  # an empty password) is accepted by the server as a working back door.
  #
  # Why it is worth pinning at all: without it Stalwart generates a temporary
  # administrator password on every bootstrap or recovery start and prints it to
  # stdout — in Kubernetes that means a fresh password in the pod log on every
  # restart, visible to anyone who can read logs, and lost as soon as it
  # scrolls. Set to null to switch the variable off entirely once a permanent
  # administrator exists in the database; that is the documented end state, see
  # NOTES.txt.
  recoveryAdminSecretRef: null

  # op:// path of the 1Password item for the S3 blob store, carrying the fields
  # "access-key" and "secret-key".
  #
  # This chart does NOT configure the blob store — that object lives in the
  # database. What it does is expose both fields to the container as the
  # environment variables STALWART_S3_ACCESS_KEY and STALWART_S3_SECRET_KEY, so
  # that the BlobStore object you create in the WebUI can reference them
  # instead of storing the credentials in the database:
  #   accessKey: {"@type":"EnvironmentVariable","variableName":"STALWART_S3_ACCESS_KEY"}
  #   secretKey: {"@type":"EnvironmentVariable","variableName":"STALWART_S3_SECRET_KEY"}
  # Both fields accept that variant (accessKey is PublicStringOptional,
  # secretKey is SecretKeyOptional; both offer Value, EnvironmentVariable and
  # File). Leave null when the blob store is not S3 or when you prefer to keep
  # the credentials in the database — the variables are then not set and
  # nothing references them.

    # an integer count of bytes. Neither accepts a string."
    # (https://stalw.art/docs/configuration/object-encoding). The DataStore
    # reference gives this field as "Duration? default: 15000". A config.json
    # carrying "15s" is rejected by the server at startup, so the key is named
    # for its unit instead of accepting a suffix the file cannot hold.

# First start: Stalwart needs recovery mode when config.json is provided
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
bootstrap:
  # Sets STALWART_RECOVERY_MODE=1 on every node group.
  #
  # WHY THIS EXISTS, AND WHY IT IS NOT OPTIONAL ON A FIRST INSTALL. The setup
  # wizard everyone reaches for runs in BOOTSTRAP mode, and bootstrap mode is
  # entered only when there is no config.json: "The first time Stalwart is
  # started without a config.json, it enters bootstrap mode"
  # (https://stalw.art/docs/configuration/bootstrap-mode). This chart always
  # renders one, so the wizard never appears. Against an empty database that
  # leaves a server with no listeners, no domain and no administrator, and
  # nothing to fix it with.
  #
  # The documented path for exactly this case is recovery mode: "template
  # config.json onto the host, start Stalwart once with STALWART_RECOVERY_MODE=1
  # and a STALWART_RECOVERY_ADMIN supplied from a secrets manager, run
  # stalwart-cli apply against the recovery listener to load the initial
  # configuration, and then restart Stalwart without the recovery variables"
  # (https://stalw.art/docs/configuration/declarative-deployments). Recovery
  # mode brings up the management HTTP endpoint on port 8080 — the WebUI
  # included — and keeps every mail port closed.
  #
  # So: true for the first install, then false and upgrade again. Leaving it on
  # is not a small untidiness — the mail ports stay shut while the Services and
  # the Ingress look perfectly healthy, which is the loudest-looking silent
  # failure this chart has. NOTES.txt prints a warning for as long as it is on.

# THE DUPLICATION BELOW CANNOT BE AVOIDED, SO IT IS WRITTEN DOWN INSTEAD.
#
# Every listener Stalwart binds is a NetworkListener object in the database.
# This chart cannot create those objects, so containerPort here is a second
# copy of a decision that is really made in the WebUI. If the two disagree, the
# Service points at a port nothing listens on: connections are refused or time
# out, every pod stays Ready, and no object reports a problem. Check both sides
# whenever you touch one.
#
# TWO NUMBERS PER ENTRY, AND THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE:
#   containerPort — what the application binds inside the pod, and what the
#                   NetworkListener object in the database must say.
#   nodePort      — what the cluster publishes on every node, and what the HA
#                   proxy in front of the cluster connects to.
# The Service maps one onto the other: nodePort 30025 -> targetPort 25.
#
# WHY THE APPLICATION BINDS THE ORDINARY 25/465/993. An earlier draft had it
# bind 30025/30465/30993 so that nothing privileged was ever bound and the
# NET_BIND_SERVICE capability could be dropped. That reasoning collapsed: the
# image ships "setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep" on the binary, which makes it a
# capability-dumb binary, and the kernel then fails the execve ITSELF when the
# bounding set does not carry the capability — before the program binds
# anything. The capability has to be granted either way (see securityContext
# below), so high ports bought no hardening at all. What the ordinary numbers
# buy instead is predictability: the listener objects an operator creates in
# the WebUI carry the numbers from every page of Stalwart's documentation and
# from the image's own EXPOSE list, which takes most of the surprise out of the
# duplication above.
#
# The nodePorts must be inside the API server's --service-node-port-range
# (default 30000-32767). 30025/30465/30993 are, with the default — UNVERIFIED
# against this cluster's actual setting.
#
# Only these three plus HTTP are published. 587, 143, 110, 995 and 4190 are
# deliberately absent and can be added later without a breaking change: add an
# entry here and list it in the groups that should answer on it.

  # Cluster, and Local is not an option here — this is a property of the
  # deployment's topology, not a preference.
  #
  # externalTrafficPolicy: Local only forwards to pods on the node that
  # received the packet. Mail enters through an HA proxy that distributes
  # 25/465/993 across the three control-plane nodes, and no Stalwart pod is
  # ever scheduled on a control-plane node — so under Local EVERY packet would
  # be dropped, not some.
  #
  # The price of Cluster is that kube-proxy masquerades the source address to
  # the receiving node's IP (it has to: the reply would otherwise leave through
  # a different node than the one the sender holds its connection with). For a
  # mail server a lost source address is not cosmetic; it switches off SPF,
  # takes DMARC with it, makes every blocklist report "clean", collapses
  # per-IP rate limits onto one address, removes greylisting's key, and makes
  # the auto-ban lock out every sender at once by banning the node IP. The
  # Received: chain becomes worthless, which is the one item on that list that
  # destroys evidence retroactively instead of just failing.
  #
  # What pays that price back is the PROXY protocol, and only because of this
  # topology: the HA proxy terminates the inbound connection and opens its OWN
  # to the node, so it can prepend a PROXY v2 header on that connection — for
  # port 25 as well, where no remote mail server would ever send one. The real
  # client address then travels in the header and the masquerading stops
  # mattering. This is a MANDATORY companion step, not an optimisation; the
  # wiki page has the all-or-nothing warning that goes with it.

# silently repoint every existing override at the wrong group.
#
# The key is the cluster role name and goes into STALWART_ROLE. A ClusterRole
# object of exactly that name has to exist in the database — see the fail-open
# warning below, which is the most important paragraph in this file.
#
# THERE IS NO nodes.<group>.tasks KEY. Which tasks and listeners a role runs is
# a property of the ClusterRole object in the database, and this chart cannot
# write it. A values key that looked like it set them and did not would be
# worse than its absence.
#
# FAIL-OPEN: A NODE WHOSE ROLE IS MISSING FROM THE DATABASE BECOMES A FULL NODE.
#
# From the source, not the documentation. The bootstrap registry looks a role
# up by name; when it finds none it records a non-fatal error and leaves the
# role unset, and the listener check then reads
#   bp.role.as_ref().is_none_or(|r| ...)
# which yields true for EVERY listener when the role is None. The same holds
# for the task set. So a typo in a group name here, or a rename here without
# the matching rename in the database, turns that group into a node that binds
# everything — the mx group would serve IMAP and the admin interface. The pod
# is Running, the log holds one line ('Cluster role "mx" not found in
# registry'), and the readiness probe is GREEN. Kubernetes cannot detect it.
#
# Three things in this chart contain that failure, and they are the reason the
# layout looks the way it does: mx ships with replicas: 0, the per-port
# Services publish only what was asked for, and the NetworkPolicy is a ceiling
# on reachability that holds no matter which ports the process actually bound.
# Documented as a trap rather than explained away.

    # extra ports, and a policy that permits more has nothing listening — and
    # it is exactly what takes the edge off the fail-open above.

    # Renders a topologySpreadConstraints entry on topologyKey
    # kubernetes.io/hostname with maxSkew: 1 and a labelSelector the CHART
    # fills in — the two labels it puts on its own pods anyway. You never
    # write that selector, and that is the point: a spread constraint whose
    # selector matches no pod is TRIVIALLY SATISFIED. It distributes nothing,
    # the rollout is green, and nothing anywhere says so.
    #
    # ONLY WITHIN THIS GROUP. The selector names the release AND the node
    # group, so "full" pods are spread against "full" pods and "mx" pods
    # against "mx" pods. A "full" and an "mx" pod on the same node is
    # deliberately fine — they are different roles, not redundant copies.
    #
    # RENDERED ONLY FROM TWO EFFECTIVE REPLICAS UPWARDS. With one pod any
    # placement satisfies it, so it would describe nothing; the count used is
    # the computed one, so scaleDown: true removes it too.
    #
    # whenUnsatisfiable IS DoNotSchedule, i.e. THIS IS A PROMISE AND NOT AN
    # EFFORT — and the price is a pod that stays Pending rather than one that
    # lands somewhere useless. ScheduleAnyway was the original proposal and was
    # rejected: with one worker at 97 % requested CPU the scheduler may put both
    # replicas of a group on the same remaining node, entirely within the rule
    # and with the redundancy gone. The cases where the promise costs something:
    #
    #   - TWO OF THREE WORKERS GONE: the second replica stays Pending instead
    #     of joining the survivor — but only WHILE THE Node OBJECTS STILL
    #     EXIST. A NotReady node still counts as an (empty) domain, so the
    #     third replica would raise the skew to 2. Delete the Node objects and
    #     the domains disappear with them and the pod schedules. Same
    #     mechanism, opposite outcome, one step apart.
    #   - A NARROWING nodeSelector/affinity BELOW: see nodeSelector further
    #     down. That combination blocks itself, deliberately and loudly.
    #
    # A Pending pod with no scheduling event reads like a different problem
    # than a distribution rule, so NOTES.txt names this rule whenever it is
    # rendered.
    #
    # THE FIELD THAT CAN BE DROPPED WITHOUT A WORD: the constraint carries
    # nodeAffinityPolicy: Ignore, and that field is BETA — on by default since
    # Kubernetes 1.26, graduated to GA with the feature gate
    # NodeInclusionPolicyInPodTopologySpread in 1.33. On an API server older
    # than 1.26, or one with the gate switched off, the field is pruned
    # SILENTLY, and the gap it was set against comes straight back (the
    # nodeSelector case below). Nothing reports it: the object still looks
    # correct in `kubectl get sts -o yaml`, minus one line. So 1.26 is the
    # minimum version this chart can make the promise on at all. NOT MEASURED
    # against an older server — this is the documented pruning behaviour for a
    # field behind a disabled gate, not something tried here. Check the
    # rendered StatefulSet against the live one if the server is near that
    # boundary.
    #
    # WHAT IS *NOT* A CONSEQUENCE OF THAT FIELD, because the two
    # node-inclusion policies are not a package: the ceiling on replicas
    # described at nodeSelector below comes from nodeTaintsPolicy, which this
    # chart leaves at its own default. It was there before nodeAffinityPolicy
    # was set and is not its price.
    #
    # ONE PRECONDITION, AND IT IS NOT IN THIS FILE: this works because the
    # StatefulSet has NO volumeClaimTemplates. Open measurement 1 on #65 asks
    # whether anything under /var/lib/stalwart has to survive a restart; if
    # that answer ever becomes yes, a PVC per group appears, and with a
    # node-local or topology-bound storage class the pod is pinned to wherever
    # its volume was first provisioned. Distribution is then decided at
    # provisioning time rather than by this rule, and DoNotSchedule can keep a
    # returning pod Pending for good. This rule holds only while the chart
    # stays PVC-free.
    #
    # AND THE COST OF TURNING IT ON BY SCALING UP: going from 1 to 2 replicas
    # changes the POD TEMPLATE (the constraint appears in it), so the existing
    # pod is replaced in the same rollout round rather than merely joined by a
    # second one. Expect a restart of the running node, not just an addition.
    spreadAcrossNodes: true

    # A PodDisruptionBudget for this group, rendered only while the group's
    # COMPUTED replica count is >= 2 — the spread constraint's companion: that
    # one decides the two pods sit on different nodes, this one decides only
    # one of those nodes may be emptied at a time.
    #
    # The condition is not tidiness. minAvailable: 1 with exactly one replica
    # forbids every voluntary eviction, so `kubectl drain` blocks forever on a
    # pod nothing may move — and the message names the PDB rather than the
    # replica count, which sends the reader to the wrong file. Precedent and
    # full argument: keycloak (README, guideline 11).
    podDisruptionBudget:
      enabled: true
      # minAvailable, not maxUnavailable: the promise is about the service —
      # at least one pod of this group keeps answering through a drain.
      minAvailable: 1

    # Generic pass-through into this group's pod spec. Rendered verbatim with
    # toYaml; the chart reads none of their contents, which is why they are
    # loosely typed in values.schema.json — Kubernetes owns their schema. An
    # empty value renders no field at all.
    #
    # THE ONE COMBINATION THAT BLOCKS ITSELF, and it does so on purpose:
    # narrowing the eligible nodes below this group's replica count while
    # spreadAcrossNodes is on leaves a replica permanently Pending. With
    # nodeAffinityPolicy: Ignore on the chart's constraint, a nodeSelector
    # down to one node gives 2,0,0 — skew 2 — rather than the one eligible
    # domain and skew 0 it would give under the API default of Honor. The
    # second shape is what we do NOT want: both pods co-located, nothing
    # Pending, no event, and a selector that is perfectly correct, so no check
    # in CI can see it either. Loud beats silent; that is the whole trade.
    #
    # AND THE CEILING, WHICH IS A RULE AND NOT A NUMBER. The chart leaves
    # nodeTaintsPolicy at its API default of Ignore, so EVERY node counts as a
    # domain — control-plane nodes included, and no Stalwart pod ever runs
    # there. Those domains hold the minimum at 0 permanently, so with
    # maxSkew: 1 a group can never place more replicas than there are
    # SCHEDULABLE WORKERS. Add a worker and the ceiling rises with it; remove
    # one and it falls. Do not write today's count down here — it would be
    # wrong at the next cluster rebuild and nobody would come back for it.

# Why a certificate is needed at all when there is an Ingress: the Ingress

# itself has to present the certificate for STARTTLS on 25 and implicit TLS on
# 465 and 993.

  # rules out an HTTP-01 issuer here: port 80 does not reach this cluster for
  # the mail hostname. A DNS-01 issuer is usually the right answer, and it is
  # usually a DIFFERENT issuer from the one the Ingress uses — which is why
  # this is its own value instead of reusing ingress.clusterIssuer silently.
  clusterIssuer: null
  # Additional DNS names for the mail certificate. ingress.domain is always

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# THE GATEWAY-API ALTERNATIVE TO THE INGRESS (Gitea #114)
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Mutually exclusive with ingress.enabled - the render aborts when both are
# true, and the message names both value paths. The chart renders ONLY an
# HTTPRoute with parentRefs: no Gateway, no class, no Certificate for the HTTP
# hostname, and no implementation-specific policy object.
#
# ONE ROUTE, NOT ONE PER NODE GROUP. #114 describes this chart as rendering
# "per node group"; its SERVICES and StatefulSets are, the routing object is
# not and must not be. The route targets exactly the ingress.nodeGroup group,
# through that group's own http Service, and aborts the render if that group
# does not expose "http" - the same two guards the Ingress has, for the same
# reason: the WebUI's setup and management screens are not safe to spread over
# a group that may not run the management tasks.
#
# THE MAIL CERTIFICATE STAYS, and this is the only chart in the sweep where
# anything does. certificate.enabled renders a Certificate for STARTTLS on 25
# and implicit TLS on 465/993; those connections pass through neither an
# ingress controller nor a Gateway. So in Gateway mode:
#   - ingress.domain is still REQUIRED (the certificate's dnsNames read it),
#   - ingress.clusterIssuer is still required unless certificate.clusterIssuer
#     is set,
#   - and the Certificate must NOT be "cleaned up" as part of the migration.
# Deleting it would drop SMTP and IMAP back to Stalwart's self-signed
# certificate: clients see a name mismatch while every Kubernetes object in the
# release stays green.
#
# SMTP, IMAP AND MANAGESIEVE ARE NOT ROUTED HERE, exactly as they are not
# routed by the Ingress. They keep reaching the pods through the per-port
# NodePort Services. A Gateway could carry them as TLSRoute/TCPRoute listeners;
# this chart renders neither, and doing so would be a separate decision.
#
# WHAT THIS MODE COSTS - AND HERE IT BREAKS A SECOND CHART OF THE SAME GROUP.
# Measured on 2026-10-12, the live Ingress on mail.bekemeyer-klein.de carried,
# all of it OPERATOR-supplied through ingress.annotations (this chart sets none
# of it):
#
#     nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/enable-cors:        true
#     nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-allow-origin:  https://webmail.bekemeyer-klein.de
#     nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-allow-methods: GET, POST, OPTIONS
#     nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-allow-headers: Authorization, Content-Type
#
# That origin is BULWARK, the webmail chart in this same group. The CORS
# configuration is what allows the browser-side webmail to call this server's
# JMAP endpoint at all. Lose it and the webmail stops working, with a console
# error in the browser and NO server-side symptom whatsoever.
#
# AND "no counterpart" would be the wrong thing to claim here. Measured against
# the CRDs this repository pins (gateway-api v1.6.3 standard channel,
# ci/gateway-api-crds.sh), by grepping the downloaded manifest rather than by
# inference:
#   - HTTPRoute's filters carry a full `cors` field (GEP-1767) with
#     allowOrigins, allowMethods, allowHeaders, allowCredentials and maxAge.
#     Its documented support level, verbatim from that CRD: "Support:
#     Extended".
#   - `responseHeaderModifier` is in the same CRD and is ALSO "Support:
#     Extended", not Core.
#
# There IS a counterpart, then, and this chart still does not render it. Three
# reasons, in order:
#
#   1. THIS CHART HAS NO CORS VALUES. The live configuration is the operator's
#      - a specific origin, a specific method list. Rendering a filter means
#      inventing a values surface in a sweep PR, and one that would exist in
#      Gateway mode only, since the chart sets no CORS annotations in Ingress
#      mode either. That asymmetry is its own defect and its own piece of work.
#   2. EXTENDED SUPPORT IS NOT SUPPORT. An implementation that does not support
#      an Extended value reports it in the route's status, and a rejected route
#      is rejected WHOLE - which here would take the WebUI and JMAP down
#      together (the reasoning #119 arrived at for statusCode). The observed
#      failure is quieter still: Cilium accepts filters.type: CORS and
#      forwards the browser's preflight upstream anyway (cilium/cilium#45272),
#      i.e. Accepted: True with the behaviour absent. A chart cannot know which
#      implementation it landed on.
#   3. HALF A CORS IS WORSE THAN NONE, AND THE TRANSLATABLE HALF IS THE USELESS
#      ONE HERE. A responseHeaderModifier can add the three
#      Access-Control-Allow-* headers to a response. The PREFLIGHT is a
#      different thing: the browser sends OPTIONS first and the GATEWAY, not
#      the backend, has to answer it - the CORS filter's own contract says a
#      path carrying it MUST NOT pass the preflight upstream. A bare header
#      modifier cannot do that. And this installation's header list includes
#      Authorization, which makes EVERY webmail request preflighted: the half
#      that is expressible without the CORS filter is precisely the half that
#      does not help.
#
# So configure CORS AT THE GATEWAY, using that implementation's own CORS
# support, BEFORE moving this host - and TEST IT FROM THE WEBMAIL, not with
# curl: curl sends no preflight, so it passes while a browser fails.
#
# THE GATEWAY-API CRDs MUST BE PRESENT. The chart cannot detect them
# (.Capabilities.APIVersions is unreliable at template time) and an HTTPRoute
# without them fails at install, so this is a value and not a guess.
httpRoute:
  enabled: false

  # The Gateway(s) the route attaches to - a platform object, usually in
  # another namespace, whose listener must allow this namespace in
  # allowedRoutes. Entries are the Gateway API's ParentReference (name, and
  # optionally namespace, sectionName, port, group, kind), passed through
  # unchanged:
  #
  #   parentRefs:
  #     - name: public
  #       namespace: gateway
  #       sectionName: https
  #
  # REQUIRED while httpRoute.enabled is true - the render aborts on an empty
  # list, because a route without a parent is created, is valid and routes
  # nothing, with no event to say so.
  parentRefs: []

  # Empty means [ingress.domain], so the HTTP hostname has one source of truth.
  # Set explicitly only to publish under a different or an additional name -
  # which is how a migration from the Ingress runs: the HTTPRoute takes a
  # second hostname while the Ingress keeps ingress.domain.
  #
  # NOTE THAT THE SERVER'S OWN HOSTNAME LIVES IN THE DATABASE, not here. After
  # bootstrap the WebUI is reached at https://<the configured server
  # hostname>/admin, and no value of this chart changes that - so a second
  # hostname is reachable without the application agreeing that it is its name.
  hostnames: []

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# MTA-STS — the policy route, in BOTH routing modes (Gitea #123)
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# MTA-STS lets a sending mail server find out, over HTTPS, that this domain
# expects TLS. Stalwart serves the policy file itself — this block is only
# about ROUTING a sending MTA to it, and the route has to exist in whichever
# mode this chart is publishing in.
#
# WHAT IS RENDERED, AND IT IS NOT THE SAME SHAPE ON BOTH SIDES:
#
#   Ingress mode  — ONE Ingress object PER DISTINCT clusterIssuer, each with one
#                   rule per host and its tls: list grouped by secret name.
#                   Several objects because cert-manager's cluster-issuer is an
#                   object-level ANNOTATION while secretName is a per-tls-entry
#                   field, so one object cannot both request a certificate from
#                   issuer X and leave another host's secret alone. The full
#                   argument, with the cert-manager behaviour it was measured
#                   against, is in stalwart.mtaSts.ingressGroups in
#                   _helpers.tpl.
#   Gateway mode  — ONE HTTPRoute with all the hostnames. Nothing differs per
#                   host here (same path, same backend, no filter) and
#                   spec.hostnames is a list, so one object says exactly what
#                   is meant. TLS sits on the Gateway's listener and this chart
#                   renders no certificate for it.
#
# Both point at the same per-group http Service the WebUI route points at
# (ingress.nodeGroup), on the one path RFC 8461 allows.
#
# THE LIST IS THE SWITCH. There is deliberately no mtaSts.enabled: "enabled
# with an empty list" would be a state with no meaning that the chart would
# then have to catch. Empty list — the default — renders nothing in either
# mode, so this block changes nothing about a running installation until it is
# filled.
#
# THE PATH IS HARDWIRED and is not a value. RFC 8461 fixes it: the policy is
# fetched from /.well-known/mta-sts.txt on mta-sts.<domain>, with pathType
# Exact (type: Exact in the HTTPRoute) because exactly one file lives there. A
# values key for a protocol-mandated path is a key that can only ever be set
# wrong — and "wrong" here is invisible from this side, see the limit below.
# Exact rather than a prefix also matters in its own right: a prefix on these
# hostnames would publish the mail server's whole management surface under
# them.
#
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# THE LIMIT, AND IT HAS TO BE SAID RATHER THAN SUGGESTED AWAY
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# THIS CHART REGISTERS A ROUTE. IT DOES NOT CREATE A DOMAIN. Read the first
# paragraph of this file again: since v0.16 the domains live in Stalwart's DATA
# STORE, and this chart never sees them. So whether the server answers for
# mta-sts.example.com depends on example.com existing in that data store, which
# no value here can arrange.
#
# An entry without its domain in the data store gives a 404 AT A CORRECTLY
# ROUTED ENDPOINT — every Kubernetes object green, the Ingress or route
# resolving perfectly, and nothing wrong on this side at all. And the other
# half of it is worse: MTA-STS failures are silent ON THE SENDER'S SIDE. A
# sending MTA that finds no policy does not report anything here; it simply
# falls back to delivering in the clear. So the thing this block exists to
# achieve can be absent with no symptom in this cluster whatsoever.
#
# That is the same genus as the OnePasswordItem limit this chart already
# documents: a promise the chart cannot keep, and therefore one it has to name.
# Check an entry from outside after adding it:
#   curl https://mta-sts.<domain>/.well-known/mta-sts.txt
#
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# THE SUBDOMAIN TRAP, which is the one that will actually catch somebody
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# mta-sts.sub.example.com is ONE LABEL DEEPER than *.example.com, and a
# wildcard certificate matches exactly one label (RFC 6125). So a wildcard for
# the parent domain does NOT cover it, and the obvious assumption — "the
# wildcard already covers that" — is false.
#
# With a secret per entry that is solved, which is why the field exists. The
# trap is written down anyway because the symptom is a TLS error AT THE SENDING
# MTA: nothing in this cluster logs it, the endpoint looks healthy from here,
# and mail keeps flowing unencrypted. In Gateway mode the same trap moves to
# the Gateway's listener, where this chart cannot help at all — a wildcard
# listener for the parent domain will not terminate TLS for a deeper name.
#
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# WHY A SECRET PER ENTRY AND NOT certificate.extraDnsNames
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The alternative was real and was rejected. This chart already has
# "Additional DNS names for the mail certificate" (certificate.extraDnsNames,
# further up this file), so the mta-sts.* names could have been folded into the
# mail certificate instead of carrying their own secrets.
#
# They are not, because that would hang the MAIL certificate on this list. The
# mail certificate is what serves STARTTLS on 25 and implicit TLS on 465/993;
# a bad entry here — a typo, a name whose DNS-01 challenge cannot be answered —
# would then fail the issuance of the certificate the mail ports depend on.
# A policy route that is only a nice-to-have would be able to take SMTP and
# IMAP with it. Separate secrets keep the blast radius at the entry.
#
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# NOT DONE BY THIS CHART, so it is not mistaken for done
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
#   - THE DNS RECORD. MTA-STS also needs a TXT record at _mta-sts.<domain>;
#     without it no sending MTA ever looks for the policy. That is DNS, not
#     Kubernetes, and nothing here creates it.
#   - THE POLICY'S CONTENT. version/mode/max_age/mx come from Stalwart's data
#     store, per domain. The running installation serves mode: testing, which
#     means sending MTAs enforce nothing — also a data-store setting and not a
#     chart question.
#   - REMOVING AN EXISTING OBJECT FROM ANOTHER REPOSITORY. Where a route for
#     one of these hosts already exists elsewhere (jk-cluster-config does serve
#     mta-sts.bekemeyer-klein.de from a Fleet release of its own), the order is
#     REMOVE THERE FIRST, then add the entry here. The other way round,
#     ingress-nginx's admission webhook rejects the second object on the same
#     host and path — which is the loud failure, but it is a failure.
mtaSts:
  # Empty by default: no object in either mode, and no value becomes required.
  #
  # Entry form, and the two TLS fields apply ONLY IN INGRESS MODE:
  #
  #   host           REQUIRED. The policy hostname, i.e. mta-sts.<domain>.
  #   tlsSecretName  REQUIRED IN INGRESS MODE, and with NO DEFAULT on purpose:
  #                  the plausible default (this release's own
  #                  tls-<release>-<chart>-ingress) is the wrong certificate —
  #                  it covers ingress.domain, not this host. Hosts that share
  #                  one secret are collected into one tls: entry, so one
  #                  certificate with several SANs is asked for once rather
  #                  than once per host. Inert in Gateway mode.
  #   clusterIssuer  OPTIONAL, and EMPTY MEANS NO ANNOTATION — i.e. "the
  #                  certificate for this host comes from somewhere else, do
  #                  not ask cert-manager for it". That is what keeps a secret
  #                  owned by another release from being fought over, the same
  #                  deliberate omission as the qBittorrent object in
  #                  freesailarr and two of the four realm ingresses in Gitea
  #                  #122. Entries sharing a secret must agree on it (the
  #                  render aborts naming both), because cert-manager names the
  #                  Certificate after the secret and the issuer is an
  #                  object-level annotation. Inert in Gateway mode.
  #
  # The chart's own ingress.annotations are NOT copied onto these objects: they
  # belong to the WebUI/JMAP host (on this installation they are its CORS
  # configuration), and a policy file served to sending MTAs has no use for

# a self-inflicted restart loop that gets worse the more pods a node holds.
#
# The budget per pod, with the values below:
#   steady state   liveness 60/20 = 3/min  +  readiness 60/20 = 3/min  = 6/min
#   while starting startup   60/10 = 6/min                             = 6/min
# The startup probe GATES liveness and readiness, so the three never run at
# once and 6 requests/min/pod is the worst case in both phases. Against a
# 100/60s bucket that leaves room for about 16 Stalwart pods per node before
# the limit is in sight.
#
# For comparison, the obvious 10/10/5 defaults would cost 12/min/pod in steady
# state and allow only about 8 pods per node — which is not far from a
# plausible deployment. That is the whole reason these numbers are 20/20/10.
#
# What the wider intervals cost, stated so the trade is visible: up to 20s
# before unreadiness removes a pod from its Services, and up to 60s
# (3 x 20s) before a hung pod is restarted. For a mail server both are
# acceptable — SMTP senders retry for days.
#
# WHY HTTP AND NOT A tcpSocket READINESS PROBE. A tcpSocket probe on the mail
# port would bypass the bucket entirely, and it was considered for exactly that
# reason. It is rejected on three grounds, none of them about convenience:
#   1. It would be GREEN in precisely the failure this chart is built to
#      contain. A node that fail-opens (its ClusterRole missing from the
#      database) binds every listener, so a TCP connect to 25 succeeds on a
#      broken "mx" node just as it does on a healthy "full" one.
#   2. It proves strictly less. A TCP accept says a socket is bound;
#      /healthz/ready additionally says the server reached the point where a
#      data store handle exists at all.
#   3. It would have to differ per node group (the "mx" group has no 465 or
#      993), so the fallback default in _helpers.tpl could no longer carry the
#      probe's context — the failure mode guideline 12.5 exists for.
# If a node ever does need to carry more than ~16 pods, the right move is to
# raise the limit on the server (the allow-list bypasses the limiter outright
# for listed addresses) rather than to blind the probes.
#
# WHAT THESE PROVE, AND WHAT THEY DO NOT — three honest limits:
#   - Liveness is deliberately on /healthz/live so a Postgres outage cannot
#     restart every pod in the cluster at once; the restart would fix nothing
#     and would drop every connection in flight (guideline 12.3).
#   - /healthz/ready DOES NOT QUERY THE DATABASE. Read from the source at
#     v0.16.24: it returns 200 iff the data store handle is not Store::None.
#     So readiness here does not hang on the dependency the way guideline 12.3
#     asks, and it cannot — the endpoint upstream offers is shallow. Named
#     rather than papered over, because a green pod proves less than it looks.
#   - It also does not catch the missing-config.json trap (a server that fell
#     back to an ephemeral in-memory store still has a data store handle).
#
# NOT VERIFIED AGAINST A RUNNING SERVER: whether /healthz answers a plain
# kubelet probe at all. The source shows no auth, no loopback check and no
# trusted-network restriction, but the request still passes the configurable
# Http.allowedEndpoints expression (default "200", i.e. everything allowed) —
# and its loopback escape hatch does NOT cover a node IP, so an operator who
# later writes a restrictive expression breaks every probe. The image's own
# healthcheck sends "X-Forwarded-For: 127.0.0.1", which is how it puts itself
# in the loopback rate-limit bucket; that only has an effect when
# Http.useXForwarded is on, and it is off by default.

# The Valkey subchart — THIS REPO'S OWN valkey CHART, off by default
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Stalwart needs an in-memory store for a cluster, and the coordinator rides on
# the same connection. The subchart is the path for a deployment that has no
# Valkey yet; an installation that already runs one points
# externalServices.valkey.host at it and leaves this off.
#
# THE SWITCH IS HERE AND NOT UNDER "valkey:", and it has to be. Everything under
# "valkey:" is handed to the subchart as its values, and our valkey chart ships
# a strict schema (additionalProperties: false) with no "enabled" property — so
# "valkey.enabled" is rejected BY THE SUBCHART. Measured; and because Helm skips
# a disabled subchart's schema validation, the error would only ever appear for
# whoever first switched it on. Chart.yaml has the error text.
valkeySubchart:
  enabled: false

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Values passed THROUGH to the valkey subchart
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Read as the subchart's own values, so the key names are ITS schema, not
# upstream's and not this chart's. `valkey/values.yaml` in the repo is the
# reference; its header comment explains the pairs. Nothing here has any effect
# while valkeySubchart.enabled is false.
#
# WHY THIS IS NOT "upstream's chart as it comes": it is our chart, so there is
# no third party's defaults to leave unpatched and no shortfall against this
# repo's conventions to document — it follows them because it IS one of them.
# What still applies in full is the subchart being invisible downstream (a
# Valkey fix reaches a cluster only when THIS chart is republished — Chart.yaml
# has the detail and the PR-ordering warning), that scaleDown and
# checksum/config stop at the subchart boundary, and that every helm command
# needs ci/helm-dependencies.sh to have run first.

    #
    # MIND THE FIELD, it is not a password. The 1Password item carries ONE
    # field, `auth-conf`, whose value is the COMPLETE configuration line
    #     requirepass <password>
    # The valkey chart mounts that file and `include`s it, and an init container
    # refuses to start the pod unless the line is really there — because the
    # alternative failure is an open server that looks perfectly healthy. A bare
    # password in that field does not work.
    authSecretRef: null

  # CACHE, not queue — a decision, with its cost named.
  #
  # The valkey chart treats persistence and eviction as a PAIR and warns against
  # mixing them: QUEUE is `persistence.enabled: true` + `noeviction`, CACHE is
  # `persistence.enabled: false` + `allkeys-lru`.
  #
  # Stalwart's in-memory store holds rate-limiter counters, auth tokens and
  # sessions, auto-ban entries, and the cluster coordination pub/sub. Every one
  # of those is reconstructible: counters and bans restart from zero, tokens and
  # sessions force a re-authentication, and pub/sub messages are not stored keys
  # at all. Nothing in it is the system of record — messages and metadata are in
  # Postgres, blobs in S3, and the cluster node-id lease is in the data store
  # too, not here. Paying for a PVC and for AOF replay to protect data that is
  # worthless after a restart is the wrong trade, so: cache.
  #
  # THE COST, because `allkeys-lru` means keys really are discarded under memory
  # pressure: the rate limiters and the auto-ban FAIL OPEN. An attacker who can
  # drive memory usage can age out their own ban entry. The answer is to size
  # memory for the working set rather than to switch to `noeviction` — with
  # `noeviction` Stalwart's writes to the store start erroring instead, which
  # takes out authentication rather than just the limits. Size it, and treat the
  # limiters as a nuisance filter, not as a security boundary.
