Create Authentik Secrets

Create the 1Password item that the ExternalSecret references for Authentik configuration.

What Was Done

  1. Created 1Password item "Authentik (blumeops)" in vault blumeops (category: database) with fields:
    • secret-key: random 68-character base64 string (for AUTHENTIK_SECRET_KEY)
    • postgresql-host: pg.ops.eblu.me
    • postgresql-port: 5432
    • postgresql-name: authentik
    • postgresql-user: authentik
    • postgresql-password: random 44-character base64 string
  2. ExternalSecret blumeops-pg-authentik in databases namespace resolves successfully (verified during provision-authentik-database)

Notes

  • The database password in this 1Password item is the same one used by the CNPG managed role via external-secret-authentik.yaml. Both the database ExternalSecret and the future Authentik deployment ExternalSecret reference the same 1Password item but different fields.
  • The 1Password item has since grown with OIDC client secrets (grafana-client-secret, forgejo-client-secret, zot-client-secret, jellyfin-client-secret) and an api-token field, added during subsequent service integrations.
