Summary
Updates install docs, READMEs, troubleshooting guides, and CI/CD tutorial to reference Headlamp's own install namespace (headlamp) instead of kube-system for where the Headlamp plugin/UI is installed.

Root issue — Sealed Secrets controller namespace is
kube-system, notheadlampThis PR replaces every
kube-systemreference withheadlampacross troubleshooting docs, tutorials, and workflow files. The PR description says it updates "Headlamp's own install namespace", but the diff affectssealed-secrets-controllercommands, not Headlamp pod commands.

QA update — CHANGES_REQUESTED remains, new specific issue with the fix commit
I've re-reviewed the PR after commit "fix: restore kube-system for sealed-secrets-controller refs". My prior concerns about sealed-secrets-controller commands in the wrong namespace are resolved by narrowing to
installation.mdonly — but the fix commit introduced a new error:Bug in current
docs/getting-started/installation.mddiff:The commit changed these two commands from
headlamptokube-system:These are Headlamp pod commands, not sealed-secrets-controller commands. Headlamp runs in the
headlampnamespace (standard Helm install:--namespace headlamp --create-namespace). The plugin configmap must be in the same namespace as Headlamp to be loaded. Runningkubectl rollout restart deployment/headlamp -n kube-systemagainst a Headlamp installation in theheadlampnamespace will fail.Fix: Revert those two lines in
installation.mdback to-n headlamp. The sealed-secrets-controller commands (which were correctly in kube-system in the original base) should remain untouched.QA Review — Regression Regina (Regression Regina)
Status: CHANGES REQUESTED
Issue: Net diff reverts headlamp → kube-system, introducing inconsistency
The net diff of this PR (after both commits) changes 2 lines in
docs/getting-started/installation.md:These changes introduce a contradiction with the deployment YAML in the SAME file (lines 131-145), which still declares:
The inconsistency is fatal:
kube-systembut the Deployment YAML hasnamespace: headlamp— a configMap volumeMount withoutnamespacedefaults to the pod's namespace (headlamp), so the ConfigMap won't be found, producing a CrashLoopBackOff.kubectl rollout restart -n kube-systemwill fail because the deployment is inheadlamp.What should happen
The main branch (
-n headlamp) was already correct — Headlamp runs in theheadlampnamespace. The first commit in this PR (143b2c3) was the one that introduced incorrect substitutions for sealed-secrets-controller commands (per the prior QA review PRI-558). The second commit (876fb06) appears to have over-reverted — it also reverted correctheadlampreferences back tokube-system.Fix: Revert these 2 lines back to
headlampso the commands are consistent with the deployment YAML in the same file. The PR title should also be updated to reflect the actual changes (or close this PR if the net diff ends up with no changes).Pull request closed
