In 2025-10, GadgetMG/home delivered a focused set of features and reliability fixes that strengthen security, deployment stability, and service availability while reducing maintenance overhead. Key work centered on upgrading the Piraeus Operator with improved deletion control, stabilizing upgrades, hardening identity provider connectivity, and tightening secret/TLS management. These changes collectively reduce risk in production, improve operational visibility, and enable faster iteration for future releases. Impact highlights include: - Improved resource deletion control with Piraeus Operator v0.18.0 and deletionPolicy integration. - Stability: rolled back problematic upgrades to stable operator versions to restore reliability after v0.18.0, preventing regressions in production. - Auth reliability: Keycloak image pulls via AWS mirrors and DB connectivity fixes to ensure authentication services remain available and consistent. - Secret and TLS consolidation: unified CA usage and removal of unnecessary internal TLS surfaces, simplifying secret management and reducing attack surface. - CI/security price: updated cert-manager to 1.19.0 and refreshed image tags to improve security and reliability across pipelines and deployments.
