# Gravitee APIM — k3s single-node deployment
|
||||
|
||||
Production-like deployment of Gravitee APIM OSS on k3s with end-to-end TLS, credentials injected from Kubernetes secrets, and an internal CA managed by cert-manager.
|
||||

## Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Internet
|
||||
└── nginx ingress (TLS termination + HTTPS re-encryption to backends)
|
||||
├── console.gravitee.sttlab.pc → graviteeio-apim-ui (nginx, port 8080)
|
||||
├── portal.gravitee.sttlab.pc → graviteeio-apim-portal (nginx, port 8080)
|

graviteeio-apim-gateway ──TLS──► mongodb:27017
|

graviteeio-apim-gateway ──TLS──► gravitee-es-master:9200
|

```
|
||||
|
||||
**Stack:**
|
||||
- **Gravitee APIM 4.x** — Management API (Jetty), Gateway (Vert.x/Netty), Console UI and Developer Portal (Angular/nginx)
|
||||
- **MongoDB 8.x** (Bitnami) — management and rate limiting persistence
|
||||
- **Elasticsearch 8.x** (Elastic) — analytics and reporting
|
||||
- **cert-manager** — internal self-signed PKI with automatic renewal
|
||||
- **nginx ingress** — external TLS termination + TLS proxy to backends
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## PKI and certificates
|
||||
|
||||
### Trust chain
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
gravitee-selfsigned-bootstrap (Issuer, self-signed)
|
||||
└── gravitee-ca (Certificate isCA:true) → secret: gravitee-ca-tls
|
||||
└── gravitee-ca-issuer (CA Issuer)
|
||||
├── console-tls (ingress console)
|
||||
├── portal-tls (ingress portal)
|
||||
├── api-tls (ingress api)
|
||||
├── gateway-tls (ingress gateway)
|
||||
├── mongodb-tls (MongoDB server)
|
||||
├── elasticsearch-tls (ES server + truststore.jks)
|
||||
├── api-internal-tls (Jetty API server + keystore.p12)
|
||||
└── gateway-internal-tls (Vert.x gateway server + keystore.p12)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### cert-manager keystores
|
||||
|
||||
Three secrets include PKCS12 keystores automatically generated by cert-manager:
|
||||
- `api-internal-tls` → `keystore.p12` (Jetty server cert) + `truststore.p12` (CA trust for JVM)
|
||||
- `gateway-internal-tls` → `keystore.p12` (Vert.x server cert) + `truststore.p12` (CA trust for JVM)
|
||||
- `elasticsearch-tls` → `keystore.p12` + `truststore.p12` (ES server cert — keystore unused by Gravitee)
|
||||
|
||||
Each component mounts only its own internal TLS secret at `/run/secrets/tls/`, providing both
|
||||
the server keystore and the JVM truststore from a single volume.
|
||||
|
||||
Keystore password is stored in the `gravitee-jks-password` secret.
|
||||
|
||||
### Notable SANs
|
||||
|
||||
- `api-internal-tls` includes `api.gravitee.sttlab.pc` — required for nginx → pod TLS verification
|
||||
- `gateway-internal-tls` includes `gateway.gravitee.sttlab.pc` — same reason
|
||||
- `elasticsearch-tls` includes `gravitee-es-master.gravitee-apim.svc.cluster.local`
|
||||
|
||||
### Browser trust
|
||||
|
||||
Export the CA for browser import:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
kubectl get secret gravitee-ca-tls -n gravitee-apim \
|
||||
-o jsonpath='{.data.ca\.crt}' | base64 -d > gravitee-ca.crt
|
||||
```
|
||||
Import `gravitee-ca.crt` into the OS keychain or browser trust store.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Kubernetes secrets
|
||||
|
||||
All secrets are created by `secrets-create.sh` before the first deployment.
|
||||
|
||||
| Secret | Contents | Consumed by |
|
||||
|--------|----------|-------------|
|
||||
| `mongodb-credentials` | root/gravitee MongoDB passwords | Bitnami MongoDB chart |
|
||||
| `gravitee-mongodb-uri` | `GRAVITEE_MANAGEMENT_MONGODB_URI`, `GRAVITEE_RATELIMIT_MONGODB_URI` | api, gateway (env) |
|
||||
| `gravitee-jwt` | `GRAVITEE_JWT_SECRET` | api (env) |
|
||||
| `gravitee-admin` | `admin-password-plain`, `admin-password-bcrypt` | api (env) |
|
||||
| `gravitee-es-master-credentials` | ES `username`, `password` | api, gateway (env) |
|
||||
| `gravitee-jks-password` | keystore password | api, gateway (env) + cert-manager |
|
||||
| `gravitee-ca-trust` | `ca.crt` only — no tls.crt/key | nginx ingress `proxy-ssl-secret` |
|
||||
|
||||
> `gravitee-ca-trust` is created by `secrets-create.sh` after the certificates are ready (it reads `ca.crt` from `gravitee-ca-tls`). It must contain **only** `ca.crt` — if `tls.crt`/`tls.key` were present, nginx would present them as a client certificate, triggering unintended mTLS toward backends.
|
||||
|
||||
> `gravitee-ca-trust` is a dedicated secret containing only `ca.crt`. The `proxy-ssl-secret` nginx annotation presents `tls.crt`/`tls.key` as a client certificate if they exist, which would unintentionally trigger mTLS toward backends.
|
||||
|
||||
### Credential injection
|
||||
|
||||
All credentials are injected via `env[].valueFrom.secretKeyRef` (no `envFrom`). The rule is:
|
||||
- **Non-sensitive config** (endpoints, flags) → `value:` directly in `env`
|
||||
- **Secrets** (passwords, tokens, URIs with credentials) → `valueFrom.secretKeyRef`
|
||||
|
||||
Example from `apim-values.yml`:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
env:
|
||||
- name: GRAVITEE_MANAGEMENT_MONGODB_URI # credentials + TLS embedded in URI
|
||||
valueFrom:
|
||||
secretKeyRef:
|
||||
name: gravitee-mongodb-uri
|
||||
key: GRAVITEE_MANAGEMENT_MONGODB_URI
|
||||
- name: GRAVITEE_ANALYTICS_ELASTICSEARCH_ENDPOINTS_0 # non-sensitive
|
||||
value: "https://gravitee-es-master.gravitee-apim.svc.cluster.local:9200"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Internal TLS
|
||||
|
||||
### MongoDB
|
||||
|
||||
TLS enabled via `tls=true` in the connection URI. Server certificate validation is handled by the JVM truststore:
|
||||
```
|
||||
JAVA_OPTS: -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStoreType=PKCS12
|
||||
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/run/secrets/tls/truststore.p12
|
||||
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=${JKS_PASSWORD}
|
||||
```
|
||||
The `truststore.p12` is sourced from the component's own internal TLS secret (`api-internal-tls` or `gateway-internal-tls`), which cert-manager populates with the issuing CA chain.
|
||||
|
||||
MongoDB runs with `--tlsAllowConnectionsWithoutCertificates` (no client mTLS) but requires server TLS (`--tlsMode=requireTLS`).
|
||||
|
||||
### Elasticsearch
|
||||
|
||||
HTTPS with basic auth. Server certificate signed by the Gravitee CA, validated by the same JVM truststore. Username/password injected via Gravitee property-path env vars:
|
||||
- `GRAVITEE_ANALYTICS_ELASTICSEARCH_SECURITY_USERNAME/PASSWORD` → Management API
|
||||
- `GRAVITEE_REPORTERS_ELASTICSEARCH_SECURITY_USERNAME/PASSWORD` → Gateway
|
||||
|
||||
### nginx → backends (proxy TLS)
|
||||
|
||||
nginx verifies backend certificates:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-ssl-verify: "on"
|
||||
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-ssl-secret: "gravitee-apim/gravitee-ca-trust"
|
||||
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/configuration-snippet: |
|
||||
proxy_ssl_name api.gravitee.sttlab.pc;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- `proxy-ssl-secret` provides the CA for chain verification
|
||||
- `proxy_ssl_name` (via snippet) tells nginx which hostname to check against the backend cert SANs
|
||||
- `proxy_ssl_server_name on` is intentionally **absent**: it modifies the TLS ClientHello in a way that triggers an `illegal parameter` alert in Jetty 12
|
||||
|
||||
Snippets require `annotations-risk-level: Critical` in the `ingress-nginx-controller` ConfigMap.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## UI ingress (SPA)
|
||||
|
||||
The console and portal are Angular SPAs. The Gravitee chart injects `rewrite-target: /$1` by default. Without a capture group in the path, all asset requests are rewritten to `/` (index.html served instead of CSS/JS).
|
||||
|
||||
Fix applied:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
path: /(.*)
|
||||
pathType: ImplementationSpecific
|
||||
annotations:
|
||||
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/use-regex: "true"
|
||||
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /$1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Deployment
|
||||
|
||||
### Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
- k3s with nginx ingress and cert-manager installed
|
||||
- Helm repos added: `bitnami`, `elastic`, `graviteeio`
|
||||
- `htpasswd` available (for admin BCrypt hash generation)
|
||||
|
||||
### First install
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./deploy.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or step by step:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Create credential secrets
|
||||
./secrets-create.sh
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Deploy PKI and wait for certificates
|
||||
kubectl apply -f certificates.yml
|
||||
kubectl -n gravitee-apim wait --for=condition=Ready certificate --all --timeout=180s
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Create CA trust secret for nginx (requires certificates to be ready first)
|
||||
kubectl -n gravitee-apim get secret gravitee-ca-tls -o jsonpath='{.data.ca\.crt}' | base64 -d | \
|
||||
kubectl -n gravitee-apim create secret generic gravitee-ca-trust --from-file=ca.crt=/dev/stdin \
|
||||
--dry-run=client -o yaml | kubectl apply -f -
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Enable nginx ingress snippets
|
||||
kubectl patch configmap ingress-nginx-controller -n ingress-nginx \
|
||||
--type merge -p '{"data":{"allow-snippet-annotations":"true","annotations-risk-level":"Critical"}}'
|
||||
kubectl rollout restart deployment/ingress-nginx-controller -n ingress-nginx
|
||||
|
||||
# 5. Deploy backends
|
||||
helm upgrade --install mongodb bitnami/mongodb -n gravitee-apim -f mongo-values.yml
|
||||
helm upgrade --install elasticsearch elastic/elasticsearch -n gravitee-apim -f elastic-values.yml
|
||||
|
||||
# 6. Deploy Gravitee
|
||||
helm upgrade --install graviteeio-apim graviteeio/apim -n gravitee-apim -f apim-values.yml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Rebuild workloads only (secrets and certs preserved)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
helm uninstall graviteeio-apim mongodb elasticsearch -n gravitee-apim
|
||||
kubectl delete pvc -n gravitee-apim --all
|
||||
|
||||
helm upgrade --install mongodb bitnami/mongodb -n gravitee-apim -f mongo-values.yml
|
||||
helm upgrade --install elasticsearch elastic/elasticsearch -n gravitee-apim -f elastic-values.yml
|
||||
helm upgrade --install graviteeio-apim graviteeio/apim -n gravitee-apim -f apim-values.yml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> Secrets, certs, PVs and the `gravitee-ca-trust` secret are preserved across workload rebuilds.
|
||||
|
||||

|

|
||||
## Security notes
|
||||
|
||||
- The Gravitee CA is self-signed. Replace with a Vault PKI Issuer in production (see comment in `certificates.yml`).
|
||||
- `proxy-ssl-verify: "on"` is enabled on all backend ingresses — nginx validates pod certificates.
|
||||
- Client mTLS is not enabled for MongoDB (complexity vs. benefit for intra-cluster traffic).
|
||||
- `annotations-risk-level: Critical` on the ingress controller is required for `proxy_ssl_name` snippets — document this in the ops runbook.
