Developer a83d79bc10 feat: add Home Assistant MCP sidecar and fix K8s/Flux MCP deployment logic
Added features:
- Home Assistant MCP server as optional sidecar (mcpSidecars.homeassistant)
- Requires homeassistant-url and homeassistant-token secrets
- Runs on port 8087 using SSE transport mode
- Disabled by default due to credential requirements

Fixed deployment logic:
- Kubernetes and Flux MCP sidecars now only deploy when:
  1. They are enabled in values (mcpSidecars.<name>.enabled: true)
  2. AND clusterAccess is not "none" (they need RBAC to function)
- Prevents unnecessary container failures when no permissions exist

Documentation updates:
- Complete Helm values reference for all MCP sidecars
- Deployment examples and troubleshooting guides
- Updated memory notes with current architecture

Breaking change:
- K8s/Flux MCP sidecars won't deploy with clusterAccess=none
- This is intentional as they cannot function without RBAC

# Deployment Guide
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for deploying the Antigravity Dev Container using Helm.
## Prerequisites
- Kubernetes cluster (1.19+)
- `kubectl` configured to access your cluster
- `helm` CLI installed (3.0+)
- ReadWriteMany storage class available (e.g., `ceph-filesystem`, `nfs-client`, `efs-sc`)
- GitHub Container Registry access (images are public)
## Quick Start
### 1. Clone the Repository
```bash
git clone https://github.com/cpfarhood/devcontainer.git
cd devcontainer
```
### 2. Create Secret (Optional)
For private repos or VNC password:
```bash
kubectl create secret generic devcontainer-mydev-secrets-env \
--from-literal=GITHUB_TOKEN='ghp_...' \
--from-literal=VNC_PASSWORD='changeme' \
--from-literal=ANTHROPIC_API_KEY='sk-ant-...'
```
### 3. Deploy with Helm
```bash
# Basic deployment
helm install mydev ./chart \
--set name=mydev \
--set githubRepo=https://github.com/youruser/yourrepo
# With custom storage class
helm install mydev ./chart \
--set name=mydev \
--set githubRepo=https://github.com/youruser/yourrepo \
--set storage.className=nfs-client
# With cluster access for kubectl
helm install mydev ./chart \
--set name=mydev \
--set githubRepo=https://github.com/youruser/yourrepo \
--set clusterAccess=readwritens
```
### 4. Access the Container
```bash
# Port forward
kubectl port-forward deployment/devcontainer-mydev 5800:5800
open http://localhost:5800
```
## Deployment Options
### Using Values File
Create a custom `values.yaml`:
```yaml
name: mydev
githubRepo: https://github.com/youruser/yourrepo
ide: vscode
ssh: false
# Storage
storage:
size: 32Gi
className: ceph-filesystem
# Resources
resources:
requests:
memory: "4Gi"
cpu: "2000m"
limits:
memory: "16Gi"
cpu: "8000m"
# Kubernetes access
clusterAccess: readwritens
# MCP sidecars
mcpSidecars:
kubernetes:
enabled: true
flux:
enabled: false
```
Deploy:
```bash
helm install mydev ./chart -f values.yaml
```
### SSH Access Setup
Enable SSH and add your public key:
```bash
# Create secret with SSH key
kubectl create secret generic devcontainer-mydev-secrets-env \
--from-literal=SSH_AUTHORIZED_KEYS='ssh-ed25519 AAAA...'
# Deploy with SSH enabled
helm install mydev ./chart \
--set name=mydev \
--set githubRepo=https://github.com/youruser/yourrepo \
--set ssh=true
# Connect via SSH
kubectl port-forward deployment/devcontainer-mydev 2222:22
ssh -p 2222 user@localhost
```
### MCP Sidecar Configuration
Control MCP servers for AI-assisted operations.
**Important:** Kubernetes and Flux MCP sidecars are only deployed when:
1. They are enabled in values (`mcpSidecars.<name>.enabled: true`)
2. AND `clusterAccess` is not `none` (they need RBAC permissions to function)
```bash
# Disable all MCP sidecars
helm install mydev ./chart \
--set name=mydev \
--set githubRepo=https://github.com/youruser/yourrepo \
--set mcpSidecars.kubernetes.enabled=false \
--set mcpSidecars.flux.enabled=false \
--set mcpSidecars.homeassistant.enabled=false
# Enable only Kubernetes MCP
helm install mydev ./chart \
--set name=mydev \
--set githubRepo=https://github.com/youruser/yourrepo \
--set mcpSidecars.kubernetes.enabled=true \
--set mcpSidecars.flux.enabled=false
# Enable Home Assistant MCP (requires credentials)
kubectl create secret generic devcontainer-mydev-secrets-env \
--from-literal=homeassistant-url='http://homeassistant.local:8123' \
--from-literal=homeassistant-token='your_long_lived_token'
helm install mydev ./chart \
--set name=mydev \
--set githubRepo=https://github.com/youruser/yourrepo \
--set mcpSidecars.homeassistant.enabled=true
```
### Cluster Access Levels
Configure Kubernetes RBAC permissions:
| Value | Scope | Permissions | Use Case |
|-------|-------|-------------|----------|
| `none` | No access | None | Default, isolated development |
| `readonlyns` | Namespace | Read-only | View resources in namespace |
| `readwritens` | Namespace | Full access | Deploy apps in namespace |
| `readonly` | Cluster-wide | Read-only | View all cluster resources |
| `readwrite` | Cluster-wide | Full access | Cluster administration |
```bash
# Example: Full access within namespace
helm install mydev ./chart \
--set name=mydev \
--set githubRepo=https://github.com/youruser/yourrepo \
--set clusterAccess=readwritens
```
## Ingress Configuration
### Using Gateway API HTTPRoute
Create an HTTPRoute for external access:
```yaml
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: HTTPRoute
metadata:
name: devcontainer-mydev
spec:
parentRefs:
- name: your-gateway
namespace: your-gateway-namespace
hostnames:
- devcontainer.example.com
rules:
- backendRefs:
- name: devcontainer-mydev
port: 5800
```
### Using Traditional Ingress
Create an Ingress resource:
```yaml
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: devcontainer-mydev
spec:
rules:
- host: devcontainer.example.com
http:
paths:
- path: /
pathType: Prefix
backend:
service:
name: devcontainer-mydev
port:
number: 5800
```
## Advanced Configurations
### Custom Happy Coder Endpoints
For self-hosted Happy instances:
```bash
helm install mydev ./chart \
--set name=mydev \
--set githubRepo=https://github.com/youruser/yourrepo \
--set happyServerUrl=https://your-happy-server.com \
--set happyWebappUrl=https://your-happy-webapp.com
```
### Custom Display Resolution

```
## Troubleshooting
### Pod Not Starting
```bash
# Check pod status
kubectl get pods -l app.kubernetes.io/instance=mydev
# Describe pod for events
kubectl describe pod -l app.kubernetes.io/instance=mydev
# Check logs
kubectl logs deployment/devcontainer-mydev
```
### Repository Not Cloning
```bash
# Check init logs
kubectl logs deployment/devcontainer-mydev | grep "Repository Initialization"
# Verify secret exists
kubectl get secret devcontainer-mydev-secrets-env
# Check environment
kubectl exec deployment/devcontainer-mydev -- env | grep GITHUB
```
### VNC Not Accessible
```bash
# Check service
kubectl get svc devcontainer-mydev
kubectl describe svc devcontainer-mydev
# Test with port-forward
kubectl port-forward deployment/devcontainer-mydev 5800:5800
```
### MCP Sidecar Issues
```bash
# Check all containers
kubectl get pod -l app.kubernetes.io/instance=mydev -o jsonpath='{.items[0].spec.containers[*].name}'
# Check MCP container logs
kubectl logs deployment/devcontainer-mydev -c kubernetes-mcp
kubectl logs deployment/devcontainer-mydev -c flux-mcp
kubectl logs deployment/devcontainer-mydev -c homeassistant-mcp
# Verify RBAC permissions (for Kubernetes/Flux MCP)
kubectl auth can-i --list --as system:serviceaccount:default:devcontainer-mydev
# Check Home Assistant MCP credentials
kubectl get secret devcontainer-mydev-secrets-env -o jsonpath='{.data.homeassistant-url}' | base64 -d
# Verify the URL is accessible from the pod
kubectl exec deployment/devcontainer-mydev -- curl -s http://homeassistant.local:8123/api/
```
### Storage Issues
```bash
# Check PVC
kubectl get pvc userhome-mydev
kubectl describe pvc userhome-mydev
# Check available storage classes
kubectl get storageclass
# Verify ReadWriteMany support
kubectl get storageclass <class-name> -o yaml | grep -i accessmodes
```
## Best Practices
### Production Deployment
1. **Use specific image tags** instead of `latest`:
```bash
helm install mydev ./chart --set image.tag=v1.0.0
```
2. **Set resource limits** appropriately:
```yaml
resources:
requests:
memory: "4Gi"
cpu: "2000m"
limits:
memory: "8Gi"
cpu: "4000m"
```
3. **Enable VNC password**:
```bash
kubectl create secret generic devcontainer-mydev-secrets-env \
--from-literal=VNC_PASSWORD='strong-password-here'
```
4. **Use dedicated namespace**:
```bash
kubectl create namespace dev-environments
helm install mydev ./chart -n dev-environments
```
5. **Configure appropriate cluster access**:
- Use `readonlyns` or `readwritens` for namespace-scoped work
- Avoid `readwrite` cluster-wide access unless necessary
### Multi-User Deployment
For teams, create separate deployments per user:
```bash
# User 1
helm install alice-dev ./chart \
--set name=alice-dev \
--set githubRepo=https://github.com/alice/project
# User 2
helm install bob-dev ./chart \
--set name=bob-dev \
--set githubRepo=https://github.com/bob/project
```
### Backup and Recovery
The home directory persists on PVC. To backup:
```bash
# Create backup pod
kubectl run backup --image=busybox --restart=Never --rm -i --tty \
-- tar czf - -C /home . | gzip > home-backup.tar.gz
```
