Traefik fails after automatic self-restart because of missing CRD

[schlichtanders]

Description

My running hetzner cluster out of a sudden shows a self-signed certificate problem despite the certificate is actually still valid.

It turns out that traefik was restarted 16 hours ago and now throws some errors (and I hope that they are the source of the problem)

W0625 20:52:09.806139       1 reflector.go:539] k8s.io/client-go@v0.29.2/tools/cache/reflector.go:229: failed to list *v1alpha1.ServersTransportTCP: the server could not find the requested resource (get serverstransporttcps.traefik.io)
E0625 20:52:09.806238       1 reflector.go:147] k8s.io/client-go@v0.29.2/tools/cache/reflector.go:229: Failed to watch *v1alpha1.ServersTransportTCP: failed to list *v1alpha1.ServersTransportTCP: the server could not find the requested resource (get serverstransporttcps.traefik.io)

I interprete this as following:

• traefik self-updates itself (which is rather dangerous apparently - breaking a production environment in my case)
• and out of a sudden needs a new CRD serverstransporttcps.traefik.io which was not yet provided with the initial cluster initialization

Questions:

• Is there a good way how to add this CRD serverstransporttcps.traefik.io into a running cluster? Answer at Traefik fails after automatic self-restart because of missing CRD #1391 (comment)
• How to disable this automatic traefik self update? (Or is there a way to self-update such that also traefik CRD and RBAC are updated? EDIT: that would not suffice, because apparently also my resource definitions needed to be adapted). Answer: set traefik_image_tag in kube.tf
• Does kube-hetzner need a fix somewhere?

  # For the control planes, at least three nodes are the minimum for HA. Otherwise, you need to turn off the automatic upgrades (see README).
  # **It must always be an ODD number, never even!** Search the internet for "splitbrain problem with etcd" or see https://rancher.com/docs/k3s/latest/en/installation/ha-embedded/
  # For instance, one is ok (non-HA), two is not ok, and three is ok (becomes HA). It does not matter if they are in the same nodepool or not! So they can be in different locations and of various types.

  # Of course, you can choose any number of nodepools you want, with the location you want. The only constraint on the location is that you need to stay in the same network region, Europe, or the US.
  # For the server type, the minimum instance supported is cpx11 (just a few cents more than cx11); see https://www.hetzner.com/cloud.

  # IMPORTANT: Before you create your cluster, you can do anything you want with the nodepools, but you need at least one of each, control plane and agent.
  # Once the cluster is up and running, you can change nodepool count and even set it to 0 (in the case of the first control-plane nodepool, the minimum is 1).
  # You can also rename it (if the count is 0), but do not remove a nodepool from the list.

  # The only nodepools that are safe to remove from the list are at the end. That is due to how subnets and IPs get allocated (FILO).
  # You can, however, freely add other nodepools at the end of each list if you want. The maximum number of nodepools you can create combined for both lists is 255.
  # Also, before decreasing the count of any nodepools to 0, it's essential to drain and cordon the nodes in question. Otherwise, it will leave your cluster in a bad state.

  # Before initializing the cluster, you can change all parameters and add or remove any nodepools. You need at least one nodepool of each kind, control plane, and agent.
  # The nodepool names are entirely arbitrary, you can choose whatever you want, but no special characters or underscore, and they must be unique; only alphanumeric characters and dashes are allowed.

  # If you want to have a single node cluster, have one control plane nodepools with a count of 1, and one agent nodepool with a count of 0.

  # Please note that changing labels and taints after the first run will have no effect. If needed, you can do that through Kubernetes directly.

  # ⚠️ When choosing ARM cax* server types, for the moment they are only available in fsn1.
  # Muli-architecture clusters are OK for most use cases, as container underlying images tend to be multi-architecture too.

I fixed my current cluster by installing the new CRD and RBAC definitions

# Install Traefik Resource Definitions:
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/traefik/traefik/v3.0/docs/content/reference/dynamic-configuration/kubernetes-crd-definition-v1.yml

# Install RBAC for Traefik:
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/traefik/traefik/v3.0/docs/content/reference/dynamic-configuration/kubernetes-crd-rbac.yml

and then, in addition, I needed to change all the k8s traefik yaml resource definitions to use apiVersion: traefik.io/v1alpha1.

[mysticaltech]

Interesting, maybe a bug should be opened on k3s' side.

[schlichtanders]

Looking around where this autoupdate is defined I found that

• traefik is not autoupdating itself according to a comment found here Traefik auto-update broke path-matching, until deployments were restarted traefik/traefik#9629 (comment)
• I found traefik_image_tag in kube.tf which says that if not set it will automatically grab the most recent image tag. In addition the deployment seems to have a self-restarting set after a certain amount of time, which together may lead to this self-updating behaviour

[mysticaltech]

@schlichtanders It could be updated automatically along with k3s. However, if I remember correctly (I need to re-check in the code), we had dissociated traefik from k3s and are now installing it directly via helm. Maybe you were running an old cluster?

[mysticaltech]

@schlichtanders Any updates here?
