📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved job queue startup reliability by ensuring required secure access credentials are available before processing begins.
    • Added clearer startup failure handling when credentials cannot be created or accessed.
    • Improved runtime compatibility in restricted container environments, helping job processing start consistently.

Walkthrough

The job-queue deployment now conditionally generates and validates its SSH key. It uses temporary paths for HOME and the uv cache, runs uv with --no-sync, and removes the pod fsGroup setting.

Changes

Job queue startup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Startup command and runtime environment
deploy/job-queue-service.yml
The container generates an ed25519 SSH key when the key is absent and exits if generation or readability checks fail. It uses uv run --no-sync, removes SSH directory setup and fsGroup: 1001, and sets HOME=/tmp and UV_CACHE_DIR=/tmp/uv-cache.

The service can fail during startup or provision instances that cannot be reached over SSH. Ensure the persisted key pair is consistent and the PVC is writable before merging.

Validate the complete SSH key pair.

If /app/data/nebius-ssh-key exists but its .pub file is missing, the startup check succeeds. With NEBIUS_ENABLED=1, NebiusInstanceManager then fails while reading the missing public-key file. A stale or mismatched public key can register a different key from the one later used for SSH.

Derive the public key from the validated private key and atomically replace the .pub file before starting uvicorn. This also rejects a corrupt private key before the service starts.

Ensure the fresh PVC is writable by the pod’s non-root user.

job-queue-pvc uses the gp3 storage class and mounts at /app/data. The pod defines runAsNonRoot but no fsGroup or explicit runAsUser. If the provisioned filesystem is root-owned without write permission for the runtime UID, ssh-keygen fails and the container exits before the service starts. Provide an ownership or permission mechanism through the OpenShift deployment, or restore an appropriate fsGroup.
