Monthly summary for 2025-07 for repository trueforge-org/truecharts. Key features delivered: - Upgraded common library/chart versions to latest minor releases to improve stability and compatibility across deployments. This involved updating the chart references and dependencies to ensure smoother rollout of fixes and new features. - CI/build environment updates: removed unused cwebp from daily CI and ensured webp is available in charts-ci Docker image, reducing build failures and ensuring asset compatibility. - Renovate decommissioning: removed Renovate app from Kubernetes cluster, eliminated related Helm/Kustomize configurations and references to simplify maintenance and reduce surface area. Major bugs fixed: - Gluetun: Fix outbound subnet environment variable typo from FIREWALL_OUTBOUT_SUBNETS to FIREWALL_OUTBOUND_SUBNETS and guard against missing/empty values before parsing into a list. This prevents misconfiguration-induced outages and improves resilience during startup parsing. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Deployment stability improved through corrected configuration handling and up-to-date dependencies. - CI reliability increased via environment cleanup and dependency visibility. - Reduced maintenance burden by decommissioning obsolete Renovate configurations. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Kubernetes, Helm/Kustomize, and Docker image management. - CI/CD pipelines, YAML configuration, and version pinning. - Change management with structured commits to track traceability and audits. Dedicated commits touched in this period include: Gluetun fix (7bf2233d4ab2f197de500308e8cdaa6aeef91502; c3501012d416bf8f9ca6e639e08f9b870a317786), common upgrades (25176d0e055d785342c683513e6b50dcd82c75b2; edfcadcfd32c9e6280494400d9262836b1eafc7e), CI/build updates (ae368b15ebb5af87139d88a7f2e17eb793df99cf; 62093dac186ffa0bacf46f83b1eccc83a0b72ab8), Renovate decommissioning (3c78b4eb742ee793de6b6f984be9a7a4c08587d8; 161b3d242fbe08a245b7e4cd5f941a54d733d013).
