Fact check: Deploying an Eleventy site behind an OAuth2 Proxy on Kubernetes using Argo CD involves several steps: 1. Build and Containerize Your Eleventy Site: • Build the Site: Ensure your Eleventy site is configured to build correctly. Typically, you can add a build script in your package.json: { "scripts": { "build": "npx @11ty/eleventy" } }  • Containerize: Create a Dockerfile to containerize your site. A simple example might be: FROM node:14-alpine WORKDIR /app COPY . . RUN npm install RUN npm run build EXPOSE 80 CMD ["npx", "http-server", "_site", "-p", "80"] This Dockerfile sets up a Node.js environment, installs dependencies, builds the site, and serves it using a static file server like http-server. 2. Deploy the Eleventy Site to Kubernetes: • Create a Deployment: Define a Kubernetes Deployment YAML for your Eleventy site. For example: apiVersion: apps/v1 kind: Deployment metadata: name: eleventy-site spec: replicas: 1 selector: matchLabels: app: eleventy template: metadata: labels: app: eleventy spec: containers: - name: eleventy image: your-docker-image:tag ports: - containerPort: 80 Replace your-docker-image:tag with the actual image name and tag. • Create a Service: Expose your Deployment using a Service: apiVersion: v1 kind: Service metadata: name: eleventy-service spec: selector: app: eleventy ports: - protocol: TCP port: 80 targetPort: 80 3. Set Up OAuth2 Proxy: • Deploy OAuth2 Proxy: Use Helm to deploy OAuth2 Proxy. First, add the Helm repository: helm repo add oauth2-proxy https://oauth2-proxy.github.io/manifests Then, create a values.yaml file to configure the proxy: config: clientID: your-client-id clientSecret: your-client-secret cookieSecret: your-cookie-secret provider: "google" # or your chosen provider upstreams: - http://eleventy-service:80 Install the proxy with: helm install oauth2-proxy/oauth2-proxy --name-template=oauth2-proxy -f values.yaml  4. Configure Ingress with Authentication: • Create an Ingress Resource: Set up an Ingress to route traffic through the OAuth2 Proxy: apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1 kind: Ingress metadata: name: eleventy-ingress annotations: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-url: "https://$host/oauth2/auth" nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-signin: "https://$host/oauth2/start?rd=$request_uri" spec: rules: - host: your-domain.com http: paths: - path: / pathType: Prefix backend: service: name: oauth2-proxy port: number: 80 Replace your-domain.com with your actual domain. 5. Deploy Using Argo CD: • Create Application Manifests: Organize your Kubernetes manifests into a Git repository. • Configure Argo CD: Set up an Argo CD Application to point to your repository: apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1 kind: Application metadata: name: eleventy-app spec: project: default source: repoURL: 'https://github.com/your-repo.git' path: 'path/to/manifests' targetRevision: HEAD destination: server: 'https://kubernetes.default.svc' namespace: your-namespace syncPolicy: automated: prune: true selfHeal: true Replace the placeholders with your repository and namespace details. 6. Access Your Site: • Once deployed, accessing https://your-domain.com will redirect users to authenticate via the OAuth2 Proxy before granting access to the Eleventy site. This setup ensures that your Eleventy site is securely deployed behind an OAuth2 Proxy on Kubernetes, with Argo CD managing the deployment process.
1. Summary of the results
The original statement provides a detailed technical guide for deploying an Eleventy site with OAuth2 Proxy on Kubernetes, but the available analyses focus primarily on OAuth2 Proxy's background and capabilities rather than validating the specific deployment steps. OAuth2 Proxy is confirmed to be a legitimate authentication tool that was originally a Bitly project [1], which was later forked and maintained by an independent organization after being archived in September 2018 [2].
2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints
Several important pieces of context are missing from the original statement:
- Historical Context: The statement doesn't mention that OAuth2 Proxy has gone through significant organizational changes, starting as a Bitly project before being archived and subsequently maintained by a different community [1] [2].
- Broader Applications: The original statement focuses solely on Eleventy site deployment, but OAuth2 Proxy is actually a more versatile tool that can be used to secure various web applications and Kubernetes cluster resources [3].
- Authentication Flexibility: While the example shows Google as the provider, the sources indicate that OAuth2 Proxy supports multiple authentication providers and can be integrated with various identity providers [3].
3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement
While the technical steps provided in the original statement may be accurate, there are some potential issues to consider:
- Oversimplification: The statement presents the deployment as a straightforward process, but doesn't acknowledge the complexity of maintaining OAuth2 Proxy, which has gone through significant organizational changes [2].
- Limited Scope: The guide focuses on a specific use case (Eleventy sites) when OAuth2 Proxy is actually a more versatile tool that can protect various Kubernetes cluster resources and web applications [3].
- Currency of Information: Given that OAuth2 Proxy's maintenance has changed hands [2], some of the configuration details might need verification against the current maintainer's documentation.
Note: While the deployment steps themselves cannot be directly verified from the provided analyses, the fundamental information about OAuth2 Proxy's capabilities and purpose appears to be accurate based on the sources.
