## Configuration Issues
We currently can no login even after `python manage.py createsuperuser --noinput` in the taiga-back-deployment container. What might help: https://docs.taiga.io/setup-production.html#taiga-back
Note: taiga-manage,-back und -async verwenden die gleichen docker images mit unterschiedlichen entry-points.

### Steps to start and get an admin user
Philosophy: First create the superuser, then populate the DB.
https://docs.taiga.io/setup-production.html#taiga-back
https://docs.taiga.io/setup-production.html#_configure_an_admin_user
https://github.com/kaleidos-ventures/taiga-back/blob/main/docker/entrypoint.sh
In the init container we create the super user. Difference between init-container and container: CELERY_ENABLED: false
The init container gets the following command and args:
```yaml
command: ["/bin/bash"]
args: ["-c", "source /opt/venv/bin/activate && python manage.py createsuperuser --noinput"]
```
Thus the dockerfile default entrypoint is ignored.
#### Option 1: Init container, currently under test
Create an init container (celery disabled) with the python manage.py command and the taiga-manage createsuperuser args
#### Option 2: Single container
Create a single container that has celery disabled at the beginning.
Runs the following cmds:
* python manage.py taiga-manage createsuperuser
* enable celery
* execute entrypoint.sh
### HTTPS
Terminiert am ingress. Wie interagiert das mit taiga?
Eventuell wird dies hier relevant:

### Docker Compose (DC) -> Kubernetes
We implemented a deployment and service in kubernetes for each DC Service.
Configmaps and secrets were implemented, to avoid redundancy and readability also to increase security a bit.
For all volumes described in DC we implemented PVCs and volume refs.
A config.py (used for taiga-back ) was introduced for reference.
A config.json (used for taiga-front ) was introduced for reference.
NB: It might be necessary to actually map both from a config map to their respective locations in taiga-back and taiga-front. Description for that is [here](https://docs.taiga.io/setup-production.html).
A mix of both env-vars and config.py in one container is not possible.
#### depends_on
We currently assume, that it will work without explicitly defining a startup order.
#### DC Networking
https://github.com/compose-spec/compose-spec/blob/master/spec.md
The `hostname` KW sets the hostname of a container.
It should have no effect on the discoverability of the container in kubernetes.
The `networks` KW defines the networks that service containers are attached to, referencing entries under the top-level networks key.
This should be taken care of by our kubernetes installation.
#### Pod to Pod Possible Communications
Taiga containers that need to reach other taiga containers:
taiga-async -> taiga-async-rabbitmq
taiga-events -> taiga-events-rabbitmq
This is not quite clear, but probably solved with the implementation of services.
### Deployments
Separate deployments exist for each of the taiga modules:
Taiga-back reads many values in config.py from env vars as can be seen in the taiga-back [config.py](
https://github.com/kaleidos-ventures/taiga-back/blob/main/docker/config.py). These are read from configmaps and secrets in the deployment.
## Purpose
Easily generate a config for a small scale Taiga deployment. Complete with initial super user and configurable values for flexibility.
## Status
WIP. We still need to implement the backup solution for full functionality.
## Try out
Click on the image to try out live in your browser:
[](https://domaindrivenarchitecture.org/pages/dda-provision/c4k-taiga/)
Your input will stay in your browser. No server interaction is required.
## Usage
You need:
* A working DNS route to the FQDN of your taiga installation
* A kubernetes cluster provisioned by [provs]
* The .yaml file generated by c4k-taiga
Apply this file on your cluster with `kubectl apply -f yourApp.yaml`.
Done.
