EntKube provides a unified developer portal for provisioning, configuring, and monitoring shared services running on Kubernetes — such as MinIO, CloudNativePG, Keycloak, and more. Teams get self-service access to the infrastructure they need without managing the underlying clusters directly.

Key Features

Shared Application Management — Deploy, configure, and lifecycle-manage shared services (MinIO, CNPG, Keycloak, etc.) across clusters.
Multi-Tenant SaaS — Isolated tenants with role-based access, resource quotas, and per-team service instances.
Kubernetes Cluster Management — Register, monitor, and operate multiple clusters from a single control plane.
Infrastructure Monitoring & Observability — Health dashboards, alerts, and resource usage metrics for managed services.
Developer Portal — Self-service UI for teams to request and manage their service instances.
CI/CD Pipeline Integration — Trigger deployments, view pipeline status, and promote releases across environments.

Docker

Build and push

Apple Silicon (M-series) Mac: servers are typically linux/amd64. Use docker buildx to cross-compile and push in one step — the --push flag is required because multi-platform images cannot be loaded into the local Docker daemon.

# One-time setup
docker buildx create --use --name multiarch

# Build for amd64 and push directly to the registry
docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64 \
  -t entit.azurecr.io/entkube:latest \
  --push .

# Tag a versioned release
docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64 \
  -t entit.azurecr.io/entkube:latest \
  -t entit.azurecr.io/entkube:1.0.0 \
  --push .

Replace entit.azurecr.io/entkube with your actual registry and image path.

Run with Docker Compose

Copy .env.example to .env and fill in the required values, then authenticate with the registry and start the stack:

# Authenticate with the container registry (once per machine / token expiry)
docker login entit.azurecr.io -u $REGISTRY_USERNAME -p $REGISTRY_PASSWORD

docker compose up -d

The app will be available at http://localhost:8080.

Data safety — docker compose down does not delete the database volume. Only docker compose down -v removes volumes.

Required configuration

Variable	Description
`DOMAIN`	Public domain pointing at the server (e.g. `entkube.example.com`).
`ACME_EMAIL`	Email for Let's Encrypt account and expiry notices.
`Vault__RootKey`	32-byte base64 key for secret encryption. Generate with `openssl rand -base64 32`.
`POSTGRES_PASSWORD`	Password for the Postgres database (set in `.env`).

TLS / HTTPS

Caddy is the reverse proxy and handles TLS automatically. On first start it obtains a Let's Encrypt certificate for DOMAIN and renews it automatically before it expires. Ports 80 and 443 must be open and your DNS must point at the server before starting the stack.
