support route exposure for Central endpoint by davdhacs · Pull Request #331 · stackrox/roxie

davdhacs · 2026-11-02T21:55:07Z

Adds an ExposureRoute exposure mode: the Central endpoint is taken from the .spec.host of the central Route instead of waiting for a LoadBalancer address. Needed for OpenShift clusters where Central is exposed via a Route (e.g. IPv6-primary dual-mode clusters where the AWS cloud provider only provisions NLBs for dual-stack Services).

Config: central.exposure: route in the roxie config; the spec overlay (central.spec.central.exposure.route.enabled) is derived as with the other modes.

resolves /issues/282

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Central can now be exposed through an OpenShift Route. Its HTTPS endpoint is available once the Route is admitted and has a hostname.
- Route is available as an exposure configuration option alongside the existing choices.
Bug Fixes
- Route discovery now requires an admitted Route whose hostname matches its configured host.
- Waiting for a Route responds to cancellation and reports errors when cancelled or timed out.

Scope limitation (reencrypt routes): route exposure is supported for passthrough termination, which is the chart default and what CI uses. A central.spec overlay enabling route.reencrypt.enabled serves a Route-owned certificate that is not part of the CA pool roxie loads from Central's CA / defaultTLSSecret, so CRS generation against such an endpoint may fail certificate validation. Reencrypt support needs its own follow-up (extract and trust the Route's certificate chain, validate against the Route hostname).

Walkthrough

The deployer now supports Route as a Central exposure option. It polls the central Route and uses its host with port 443 when an ingress for that host is admitted. The LoadBalancer wait loop now responds to context cancellation.

Changes: Central Route Exposure

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Route exposure configuration `internal/types/exposure.go`, `cmd/deploy.go`	`ExposureRoute` maps to `route` and produces an enabled Route configuration. The `--exposure` description lists `route` as a supported option.
Route endpoint discovery and polling `internal/deployer/deploy_via_operator.go`, `internal/deployer/route_status_test.go`	The deployer checks Route admission by matching the ingress host to the spec host and requiring `Admitted=True`. It polls until a non-empty host is admitted, then uses the host with port `443`. The LoadBalancer wait loop returns a wrapped error when its context is cancelled. Tests cover Route parsing and admission checks.

Merge Risk: Low · up to c4d2f

Local deployments may use port forwarding despite selecting Route exposure, and a stalled API request can exceed the wait timeout. The change is mergeable with awareness of these limitations.

Trust and validate the certificate for reencrypt Routes.

central.exposure: route uses passthrough by default. If a central.spec overlay enables central.exposure.route.reencrypt.enabled, the Route can serve a certificate outside the trust pool loaded from Central's CA and optional defaultTLSSecret. CRS generation can fail when that certificate chain is not in the pool. Include the Route certificate chain in trust and validate it against the Route hostname.

agreed that is a heavy-lift. I think it is beyond the scope of this PR, and not necessary for the CI use of routes without re-encrypt.

@davdhacs Agreed. This concern applies to re-encrypt Routes, not the passthrough Routes used by your CI workflow. Re-encrypt certificate trust can remain outside this PR’s scope.

Would you like me to open a follow-up GitHub issue for re-encrypt Route support?

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Do not let local defaults override an explicit Route exposure.

A local deployment with --exposure route keeps PortForwarding=true from the local cluster defaults. configureCentralEndpoint then starts a port-forward before it evaluates ExposureRoute, so the Route host is ignored. Suppress the forwarding default when exposure is explicitly enabled. This preserves an explicit --port-forwarding setting because non-nil user configuration still wins the merge.

Essentially one question about the fetching of the route object multiple times.

mclasmeier · 2026-11-04T07:38:56Z

+			hostname := strings.TrimSpace(result.Stdout)
+			// The host is assigned on admission, but a host conflict can leave
+			// the Route unadmitted with a host set; require Admitted=True.
+			if hostname != "" {


Have you considered, to reduce nesting, to invert the logic here

if hostname == "" { continue }

Suggesting this to keep the happy path flatter.

(Would require moving the waiting step to the top of the loop body)

mclasmeier · 2026-11-04T07:40:48Z

+				// entries; a host conflict can leave the Route unadmitted with
+				// a host set, so require an admitted ingress for the host.
+				admitted, err := k8s.RunKubectl(ctx, k8s.KubectlOptions{
+					Args: []string{"get", "route", routeName, "-n", namespace, "-o", fmt.Sprintf(`jsonpath={.status.ingress[?(@.host=="%s")].conditions[?(@.type=="Admitted")].status}`, hostname)},


I am not familiar with the exact semantics of this API, but I am a bit worried about data inconsistency here given that we fetch this route object at different times to retrieve different objects. Maybe we could just fetch once and work on that copy?
