What

Ports the plane-enterprise Traefik TLS fix (#295) to plane-ce, where all three IngressRoutes — app, MinIO and RabbitMQ — hardcoded HTTPS:

  entryPoints:
    - websecure          # never any HTTP listener
  ...
  tls:                   # outside any `if`
    secretName: {{ default (printf "%s-ssl-cert" .Release.Name) .Values.ssl.tls_secret_name }}

Both are now driven by two helpers in _helpers.tpl, splitting a question the chart conflated:

plane.chartManagedCert = tls_secret_name OR (generateCerts AND createIssuer)   → gates `tls:` blocks
plane.tlsEnabled       = chartManagedCert OR ssl.externalTermination           → entrypoint

Adds ssl.externalTermination and ingress.traefik.entryPoints, documents all four TLS options in the README, and bumps the chart 1.6.21.6.3.

Why

With the shipped defaults (ssl.tls_secret_name: "", generateCerts: false, createIssuer: false) a Traefik install was unreachable over HTTP and had no valid certificate. The routes advertised <release>-ssl-cert, a Secret that templates/certs/certs.yaml only creates when createIssuer and generateCerts are both true, so Traefik fell back to its built-in self-signed cert.

templates/ingress.yaml (nginx) already gated its tls: block on exactly this condition, so the Traefik path was the outlier — the same defect fixed for plane-enterprise in #295, reported by a user deploying to an <ip>.sslip.io domain on DigitalOcean who had to attach a self-signed certificate to get in at all.

Scope / behavior

Rendering is unchanged for every pre-existing configuration. All three IngressRoutes follow the same rule:

ssl configuration Entrypoint tls: blocks vs 1.6.2
nothing set web 0/3 fixed (was websecure + 3 dangling Secret refs)
tls_secret_name websecure 3/3 unchanged
generateCerts + createIssuer websecure 3/3 unchanged
generateCerts alone web 0/3 fixed (no cert is minted without createIssuer)
externalTermination: true websecure 0/3 new

Also fixed: ingressClass: nginx could not render at all

Separate pre-existing break — templates/ingress.yaml:10 called len on the commented-out ingress.ingress_annotations:

Error: template: plane-ce/templates/ingress.yaml:10:13:
  executing at <len .Values.ingress.ingress_annotations>: error calling len: len of nil pointer

So ingressClass: nginx failed outright with default values in the released chart. Replaced {{- if gt (len …) 0 }} with {{- with … }}, matching the plane-enterprise fix in #289. Included here because, unlike plane-enterprise, no other PR covers it — and it blocked verifying the nginx path was untouched.

Testing

helm template / helm lint; not deployed.

Full-chart render diff against origin/master, parsed YAML compared object-by-object with the helm.sh/chart label and render timestamp normalized out:

[nothing set]                     34 objects | differing: 3   → the 3 IngressRoutes (the fix)
[tls_secret_name]                 34 objects | differing: 0
[generateCerts+createIssuer]      37 objects | differing: 0
[nginx + annotations + tls]       31 objects | differing: 0
[nginx + annotations, no ssl]     31 objects | differing: 0

The nginx rows required passing ingress_annotations explicitly, since master cannot render that path at all without it — which is the bug above. Also verified: all five ssl rows produce the expected entrypoint and tls: count across all three routes; ingress.traefik.entryPoints accepts unset, [], a list and a bare scalar; helm lint passes.

Docs

README.md gains a TLS options section: one table mapping each environment to entrypoint and tls: block, then a copy-pasteable recipe per option (no TLS, bring-your-own Secret, cert-manager, terminated upstream), the entrypoint override, the entrypoint-redirection caveat with a command to check your own Traefik, and an upgrade note. ssl.externalTermination and ingress.traefik.entryPoints are also added to the Ingress and SSL Setup reference table.

Reviewer notes

  • WEB_URL is hardcoded http:// in this chart (templates/config-secrets/app-env.yaml:56), regardless of TLS — so a CE install with a certificate still tells the app its own URL is http://. That is the mirror image of the bug fixed here and is not addressed in this PR, because changing it would alter behavior for every existing CE install that uses TLS. plane-enterprise derives this scheme from the same condition; CE does not. Worth its own PR — happy to raise one.
  • Chart version 1.6.3 (patch), matching the 3.2.2 choice in fix(plane-enterprise): stop forcing TLS on the Traefik ingress #295.
  • Depends on nothing; fix(plane-enterprise): stop forcing TLS on the Traefik ingress #295 can merge before or after.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added flexible Traefik entrypoint configuration for HTTP, HTTPS, and custom setups.
    • Added support for TLS terminated outside the deployment.
    • Improved certificate handling for custom certificates and cert-manager integrations.
  • Documentation

    • Added configuration guidance for Traefik entrypoints, TLS options, redirects, external termination, and upgrades.
  • Chores

    • Updated the Helm chart version to 1.6.3.

Ports the plane-enterprise fix (#295) to plane-ce, where all three
IngressRoutes -- app, MinIO and RabbitMQ -- hardcoded the `websecure`
entrypoint and emitted a `tls:` block unconditionally. With SSL left off
that pointed Traefik at a `<release>-ssl-cert` Secret nothing ever creates
(templates/certs/certs.yaml only mints it when createIssuer AND generateCerts
are set), so Traefik fell back to its built-in self-signed certificate and
nothing ever listened on plain HTTP.

Adds the same two helpers, because "traffic is HTTPS" and "this chart owns a
Secret to reference" are different questions and only the second may gate a
`tls:` block:

  plane.chartManagedCert = tls_secret_name OR (generateCerts AND createIssuer)
  plane.tlsEnabled       = chartManagedCert OR ssl.externalTermination

  - no certificate configured -> `web` entrypoint, no `tls:` block
  - tls_secret_name, or generateCerts + createIssuer -> `websecure` + `tls:`
  - ssl.externalTermination -> `websecure`, no `tls:` (TLS handled upstream)

Adds ingress.traefik.entryPoints for clusters that renamed Traefik's default
entrypoints, accepting a list or a bare string.

Also fixes a separate pre-existing break in templates/ingress.yaml: `len` was
called on the commented-out ingress.ingress_annotations, so `ingressClass: nginx`
failed to render at all with default values ("len of nil pointer"). Replaced with
`with`, matching the plane-enterprise fix. Unlike plane-enterprise this had no
other PR in flight, and it blocked verifying the nginx path was untouched.

Rendering is unchanged for every pre-existing configuration: a full-chart diff
against master shows 0 differing objects for tls_secret_name, for
generateCerts+createIssuer, and for the nginx path; only the 3 IngressRoutes move
in the no-certificate case, which is the fix.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The Plane CE Helm chart adds configurable Traefik entrypoints, external TLS termination support, certificate detection helpers, conditional TLS rendering, updated documentation, and a version increment to 1.6.3.

Changes

Traefik TLS configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
TLS and entrypoint configuration
charts/plane-ce/values.yaml, charts/plane-ce/templates/_helpers.tpl
Adds ssl.externalTermination and ingress.traefik.entryPoints. Helpers detect chart-managed certificates, determine TLS usage, and select normalized or default Traefik entrypoints.
Traefik route rendering
charts/plane-ce/templates/ingress-traefik.yaml, charts/plane-ce/templates/ingress.yaml
All Traefik routes use the shared entrypoint helper. TLS blocks render only for chart-managed certificates. Annotation iteration uses a scoped with block.
Release documentation
charts/plane-ce/Chart.yaml, charts/plane-ce/README.md
Updates the chart version to 1.6.3 and documents TLS modes, entrypoints, redirects, and upgrades.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3d83c

The PR fixes the default Traefik routing behavior, but the new external-termination option can still make deployments unreachable when upstream TLS termination forwards HTTP to Traefik, and the documentation contains misleading TLS behavior and configuration guidance. Correcting the helper logic and affected documentation is needed before merge.

TLS is **optional**. Your `ssl.*` settings decide which Traefik entrypoint the
`IngressRoute`s bind to and whether a `tls:` block is emitted. Find the row that
matches your environment:

| Your setup | Set | Entrypoint | `tls:` block |
| --- | --- | :---: | :---: |
| No certificate yet — trial, internal network | *nothing* (default) | `web` | — |
| You already hold a TLS Secret | `ssl.tls_secret_name` | `websecure` | your Secret |
| Let cert-manager issue one | `ssl.createIssuer` + `ssl.generateCerts` | `websecure` | `<release>-ssl-cert` |
| TLS terminated in front of Plane | `ssl.externalTermination: true` | `websecure` | — |

Describe web and websecure as derived defaults.

ingress.traefik.entryPoints overrides the derived entrypoint list. Therefore, the web and websecure values in these tables are not guaranteed when a custom list is configured. State that they are defaults used only when entryPoints is empty. Also update the later fixed websecure description at Line 536.

The `IngressRoute`s bind to `websecure`, but no `tls:` block is emitted — Traefik
serves whatever certificate its entrypoint is configured with. Leave it `false` if
you set `ssl.tls_secret_name` or `ssl.generateCerts`; those already imply HTTPS.

Require both cert-manager flags in this condition.

ssl.generateCerts alone does not create a chart-managed certificate. The helper requires both ssl.generateCerts and ssl.createIssuer. Update both descriptions to name the complete condition; otherwise users can disable external termination while the chart still selects the no-certificate path.

Leave it empty (the default) to derive the entrypoint from the table above. This
controls the entrypoint *only* — whether a `tls:` block is emitted still follows
your `ssl.*` configuration.

Traefik official documentation HTTP router tls entryPoints router with tls handles HTTPS requests

💡 Result:

In Traefik, including a tls field in an HTTP router's definition instructs Traefik that the router is dedicated to handling HTTPS requests [1][2]. When this field is present, the router will process only TLS traffic and ignore non-TLS (HTTP) requests [1][2]. By default, a router configured with a tls field will terminate the TLS connection, meaning Traefik handles the decryption and forwards the decrypted data to your services [1][2]. Key points regarding the interaction between entryPoints and routers: 1. Routers vs. EntryPoints: While you can enable TLS globally on an entryPoint (e.g., using http.tls on an entryPoint configuration), you can also define tls settings directly on individual routers [1][3][4]. A router with tls enabled will effectively handle the HTTPS termination for traffic arriving at the attached entryPoints [1][2]. 2. TLS Handshake and Routing: TLS options (such as cipher suites and TLS versions) are configured on a router but are applied during the TLS handshake, which occurs before HTTP routing [5]. Consequently, these TLS settings are mapped to the host names defined in the router's rule rather than the router itself [5]. 3. Certificate Management: When a tls.certResolver is specified within a router's tls configuration, Traefik automatically manages the TLS certificates for the domains associated with that router [1]. In summary, the tls field in a router configuration is the standard way to explicitly designate a router to handle HTTPS traffic, ensuring it only accepts and processes encrypted connections [1][3].

Do not promise both schemes from one TLS router.

When chart-managed TLS is enabled, spec.tls makes the router handle only HTTPS. Attaching it to ["websecure", "web"] does not create a plain-HTTP route. Remove the “serve both schemes” claim, or render separate HTTP and HTTPS routes.

Traefik official documentation entrypoints TLS configuration HTTP forwarded after external TLS termination

💡 Result:

When Traefik is placed behind an external proxy or load balancer that performs TLS termination (such as an AWS ALB or an Nginx reverse proxy), it receives plain HTTP traffic. To ensure your applications correctly identify the original protocol (HTTPS) and other request details, you must configure Traefik to trust the headers forwarded by the upstream proxy [1]. ### Configuration for External TLS Termination You should configure the EntryPoint that receives traffic from your external proxy to trust its IP address. This prevents Traefik from ignoring or overwriting the X-Forwarded-* headers provided by the upstream load balancer [1]. In your static configuration, add the forwardedHeaders section to the relevant EntryPoint [1]: entryPoints: web: address::80 forwardedHeaders: # Use trustedIPs to specify the IP or CIDR of your upstream proxy trustedIPs: - "192.168.1.0/24" - "10.0.0.1" # Alternatively, you can use insecure mode for testing (not recommended for production) # insecure: true ### Handling X-Forwarded-Proto When Traefik receives plain HTTP traffic, it may default the X-Forwarded-Proto header to http unless it is explicitly told to trust the upstream headers [2]. By configuring trustedIPs, Traefik will respect the X-Forwarded-Proto: https header sent by your external TLS terminator, ensuring your application correctly perceives the request as secure [1]. ### Important Considerations * Security: Avoid using forwardedHeaders.insecure: true in production, as it allows any client to spoof headers like X-Forwarded-For or X-Forwarded-Proto [1]. Always use trustedIPs to restrict trust to your known infrastructure [1]. * TLS at EntryPoint: Because your external proxy performs the TLS termination, you do not need to enable TLS configuration (like http.tls) on the EntryPoint receiving this traffic [3][4]. Traefik will handle the traffic as standard HTTP and pass the trusted forwarded information downstream to your services [1]. * Headers Middleware: If you need to manually force specific headers or define which headers indicate a valid HTTPS request, you can use the Headers middleware with the sslProxyHeaders property [5]. This allows you to define custom key-value pairs (e.g., X-Forwarded-Proto: https) that signify a secure connection [5].

Use plane.chartManagedCert to derive the default Traefik entrypoint.

When an external load balancer terminates TLS and forwards HTTP to Traefik’s web entrypoint, externalTermination=true currently binds all IngressRoutes to websecure, so the requests do not match. Use plane.chartManagedCert for this branch. Require ingress.traefik.entryPoints when Traefik terminates TLS itself, and update the related values.yaml and README.md documentation.

default Traefik entrypoint logic in the relevant helper to derive the branch
from plane.chartManagedCert: use websecure only when the chart manages TLS, and
web when TLS is externally terminated. Require ingress.traefik.entryPoints when
Traefik terminates TLS itself, and align the corresponding values.yaml defaults
and README.md documentation with this behavior.

templates/ingress.yaml called `len` on ingress.ingress_annotations, which ships
commented out, so `ingressClass: nginx` failed outright with
"error calling len: len of nil pointer" on default values -- the nginx path was
unusable unless you happened to set an annotation.

Switches to `{{- with }}`, which skips a nil/empty map cleanly. Same one-line
change in both charts, so the nginx TLS guidance added in this PR describes a
path that actually renders.

Picked up from #296, which made this fix for plane-ce; #289 makes the identical
change to the plane-enterprise copy, so that hunk may conflict trivially.

Superseded by #300 — closing.

#300 does the same plane-ce Traefik fix and is a strict superset:

The one thing this PR had that #300 did not — the nginx len of nil pointer fix, {{- if gt (len ...) }}{{- with }} — has been carried over, and applied to both charts rather than just plane-ce. Nothing here is lost.

…EB_URL scheme (#300)

* fix(plane-ce): stop forcing TLS on the Traefik ingress, and fix WEB_URL scheme

Ports #295 to plane-ce, which carried the same Traefik defect plus a second,
worse one of its own.

templates/ingress-traefik.yaml hardcoded HTTPS in all three IngressRoutes -- the
app, the MinIO console and the RabbitMQ console. Each pinned the `websecure`
entrypoint and emitted its `tls:` block outside any conditional, so a default
install (tls_secret_name empty, generateCerts/createIssuer false) had no HTTP
listener AND no certificate: the routes advertised <release>-ssl-cert, a Secret
that templates/certs/certs.yaml only creates when createIssuer and generateCerts
are both true. Traefik answers such a handshake with its built-in self-signed
certificate, logs nothing and stays Ready, which is why this went unnoticed.

config-secrets/app-env.yaml then hardcoded WEB_URL as "http://<appHost>"
regardless of ssl.*, so even a correctly TLS-configured install served Plane over
HTTPS while telling the app it lived at http://. Unlike plane-enterprise, whose
WEB_URL was at least conditional, this affected the *working* configurations too.

Adds the same three helpers and keeps each setting to one job:

  plane.chartManagedCert -> `tls:` block + entrypoint
  plane.tlsEnabled       -> https:// scheme for WEB_URL
  entryPoints            -> entrypoint override

plus ssl.externalTermination for TLS terminated in front of Plane, and
ingress.traefik.entryPoints for renamed entrypoints or the Traefik-terminated
case. The nginx Ingress path already gated its `tls:` block and is untouched
beyond picking up the WEB_URL fix.

Render diff against master, all three routes and both ingress classes:
  nothing set                  -> 2 IngressRoutes differ (the fix)
  tls_secret_name              -> only WEB_URL differs
  generateCerts+createIssuer   -> only WEB_URL differs
  nginx, nothing set           -> no change
  nginx, tls_secret_name       -> only WEB_URL differs

README gains the TLS options section with a snippet per option, the 4a/4b
distinction, an nginx note, and an upgrade note covering both behaviour changes.

* docs: document the nginx TLS path on both charts

The TLS options sections were Traefik-only: the table's Entrypoint column does
not apply to `ingressClass: nginx`, and nothing said what ssl.externalTermination
does there -- yet an ALB or nginx-ingress holding the certificate is exactly the
common nginx case.

Adds a matching note to both charts: options 2 and 3 emit the Ingress `tls:`
block as before, option 4 emits none and only sets the URL scheme. Includes a
rendered example, verified against both charts.

Also records the pre-existing, TLS-unrelated render failure on that path:
ingress.ingress_annotations ships commented out and templates/ingress.yaml calls
`len` on it, so `ingressClass: nginx` dies with "len of nil pointer" unless at
least one annotation is set. Present in both charts; #289 fixes the
plane-enterprise copy, so it is only documented here, with the workaround,
rather than patched twice.

plane-enterprise goes to 3.4.1 so the new section actually ships -- chart-releaser
runs with skip_existing, so a docs change under charts/ without a version bump is
silently never republished.

* chore(plane-enterprise): bump to 3.4.2 for the nginx fix and TLS docs

The earlier bump in this branch was a no-op: #299 had already taken 3.4.1, so
the version matched master and chart-releaser (skip_existing) would have silently
declined to republish -- leaving the nginx annotations fix and the TLS/nginx
documentation unshipped.
