feat: Aiven Runtime template + managed-DB deploy fixes - #477
Conversation
Runtime-facing Compose file (separate from docker-compose.yml) that deploys BetterDB Monitor on Aiven Runtime: - betterdb-monitor: built from the repo Dockerfile (production-no-ai target), serves the app on port 3001. - Valkey (target to monitor) and PostgreSQL (audit storage) declared as bare image services so Runtime's Compose scanner provisions them as managed Aiven services rather than containers. Secrets/credentials are injected in Runtime, not stored in the file. Validated locally: docker compose config passes, and the aiven-runtime containerizer dry-run recognises the app as build-from-Dockerfile and both data services as managed.
…nection The env-configured default connection (DB_HOST/DB_PORT/...) was hardcoded to tls: false, so it could not connect to managed providers that require encryption (Aiven, ElastiCache Serverless, etc.) — even though the adapter and UI-added connections already support TLS. Add a DB_TLS flag (default false) that feeds the default connection's tls option. Documented in README env table and .env.example. Backward-compatible: unset/false preserves the previous behaviour.
BetterDB Monitor monitors an existing Valkey/Redis, so provisioning a throwaway Valkey made no sense. Remove the betterdb-valkey managed service; the user adds their own database (via the app UI, or the commented DB_* block pointing at their Aiven service with DB_TLS=true). PostgreSQL audit storage stays, now with sslmode=require for Aiven's managed PG.
An empty/blank POSTHOG_HOST (baked into or injected around the container image) failed startup env validation with "POSTHOG_HOST: Invalid URL", because z.url().optional() only skips validation when the value is absent, not when it's "". Route it through the same optionalUrl preprocess already used for AUTH_PUBLIC_URL so a blank value is treated as unset. Adds a regression test. Also stop hardcoding a too-short AUTH_SECRET placeholder in compose.aiven.yaml (it failed the >=32 char rule); document setting it as a Runtime secret instead.
Reduce what a deployer must fill in: pre-set DB_TYPE=valkey, DB_USERNAME=default and DB_TLS=true (correct for a managed Aiven Valkey), and WORKSPACE_DISABLED=true so there's no login wall and no AUTH_SECRET requirement. Only the Valkey endpoint (DB_HOST/DB_PORT) and DB_PASSWORD (a per-deploy secret) remain for the user to supply, in Runtime or via the app UI.
Removes ARG/ENV for POSTHOG_API_KEY, POSTHOG_HOST, VITE_PUBLIC_POSTHOG_PROJECT_TOKEN and VITE_PUBLIC_POSTHOG_HOST so they stop surfacing as empty fields on deploy screens (e.g. Aiven Runtime). Runtime-neutral: both the backend telemetry factory and the frontend useTelemetry hook already fall back to the HTTP telemetry client when the PostHog key/host are absent. NOTE: the official image's PostHog telemetry is injected via these build-args in CI (docker-publish.yml). With the args gone those --build-arg values become no-ops, so official builds fall back to HTTP telemetry until this is revisited.
Aiven managed PostgreSQL presents its own CA. The pg driver now treats sslmode=require as verify-full, which rejects that CA with "self-signed certificate in certificate chain" and crash-loops the app on boot. Switch to sslmode=no-verify (encrypted, no CA verification). Documented the verify-full alternative via STORAGE_SSL_CA for anyone who wants chain verification.
Removes ARG/ENV for APP_VERSION, VITE_PUBLIC_APP_VERSION and VITE_REGISTRATION_URL so they stop showing as empty fields on deploy screens. These are build-time/telemetry-version conveniences, pointless for a runtime deploy; version tags fall back to 'unknown' and registration is unused when WORKSPACE_DISABLED=true. Note: CI still passes some as --build-arg (now no-ops).
Aiven Runtime injects STORAGE_URL from the bound Postgres service (its own CA,
sslmode=require), so a sslmode override in our compose URL is lost and the app
crash-loops on "self-signed certificate in certificate chain" — the pg driver
now treats sslmode=require as verify-full.
Add STORAGE_SSL_NO_VERIFY: when true (and STORAGE_SSL_CA unset), the adapter
sets an explicit ssl object { rejectUnauthorized: false }, which overrides the
injected connection string's sslmode and connects over TLS without chain
verification. Set it in compose.aiven.yaml; documented in README and .env.example.
STORAGE_SSL_CA remains the path to full chain verification.
…sl option
The previous attempt set poolConfig.ssl = { rejectUnauthorized: false }, but pg's
ConnectionParameters does Object.assign(config, parse(connectionString)), which
OVERWRITES the explicit ssl option with the one parsed from the connection
string. Verified empirically: sslmode=require + ssl:{rejectUnauthorized:false}
resolves to ssl:{} (verify-full), so Aiven's self-signed CA is still rejected.
Fix: when STORAGE_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true and no STORAGE_SSL_CA, rewrite the
connection string's sslmode to no-verify (pg maps no-verify ->
{ rejectUnauthorized: false }). This survives the Object.assign because it lives
in the string pg parses. Credentials/host/db are preserved by URL round-trip.
Under WORKSPACE_DISABLED the self-hosted agent module isn't loaded, so the
AgentGateway provider doesn't exist. main.ts still called app.get(AgentGateway),
and because Nest runs app.get inside an ExceptionsZone whose default teardown is
process.exit(1), the UnknownElementException crashed bootstrap (the surrounding
try/catch never runs) — the app built but never released ("Bad Gateway").
Only resolve the gateway when workspace mode is 'cloud' or 'self-hosted' (both
provide it); skip it when 'disabled'. Verified locally: with WORKSPACE_DISABLED=
true the API now boots and listens instead of exiting. The inner try/catch is
kept for the case where the proprietary agent code isn't built.

Security Misconfiguration
Reachability: Internal
Exploitability: Difficult
CWE: CWE-295 — Improper Certificate Validation
Do not ship the Aiven deployment without PostgreSQL certificate validation.
STORAGE_SSL_NO_VERIFY rewrites the injected connection URL to sslmode=no-verify. Removing it alone is not sufficient: Aiven’s sslmode=require still does not verify certificates. Setting STORAGE_SSL_CA also does not currently fix this connection, because the adapter leaves sslmode=require in the connection string, which overrides its poolConfig.ssl option. The adapter’s HTTPS allowlist also excludes Aiven.
Make the downloaded Aiven CA available as a local file or supported URL, change the connection string to sslmode=verify-ca or verify-full when that CA is supplied, and then remove STORAGE_SSL_NO_VERIFY. Otherwise, an intercepted connection can receive PostgreSQL credentials and audit data.

Review (Bugbot/CodeRabbit) caught that the documented secure path was broken:
with STORAGE_SSL_CA set, the adapter left the injected sslmode=require in the
connection string, and pg's ConnectionParameters does
Object.assign(config, parse(connectionString)), so the parsed sslmode
overwrote our explicit ssl:{ rejectUnauthorized:true, ca } and dropped the CA
(verified empirically: resolves to ssl:{}). There was therefore no working
verified-TLS option.
Normalize sslmode in the connection string by intent: strip it when a CA is
supplied (so our ssl+ca survives, giving full chain + hostname verification),
set no-verify for the opt-in convenience path, else leave untouched. Docs now
recommend STORAGE_SSL_CA for production and state that STORAGE_SSL_NO_VERIFY is
encrypted-but-unauthenticated (matching Aiven's own sslmode=require default).

Reviewed at ac77912. The Aiven template and the managed-DB fixes look good. One blocker and a request to split out the bootstrap fix.
Heads-up: v0.45.0 is broken under WORKSPACE_DISABLED=true. The main.ts crash this PR fixes has already shipped: #466's gating (my suggestion, sorry) removed the AgentGateway provider in that mode, and v0.45.0 includes it. I reproduced the exit with NestFactory.create + FastifyAdapter: app.get of an unregistered provider exits with code 1 and the surrounding try/catch never runs. Anyone on v0.45.0 with WORKSPACE_DISABLED crash-loops at boot. Please land that part on its own so we can cut a patch release (details inline).

Blocker: the official image silently loses telemetry and its version. docker-publish.yml still passes APP_VERSION, VITE_PUBLIC_POSTHOG_PROJECT_TOKEN and POSTHOG_API_KEY as --build-arg, but with these ARGs gone they're dropped. Every published image then ships with:
- no web PostHog token, so no frontend telemetry
- no baked backend key, so
inject-telemetry-defaults.mjsfinds nothing and the api falls back to HTTP telemetry APP_VERSIONunset, so usage telemetry can't tell releases apart
That changes the product for every user just to tidy one provider's deploy screen. Could the Aiven template use its own target or Dockerfile (e.g. dockerfile: Dockerfile.aiven in compose.aiven.yaml) instead, leaving the published image alone? Dropping VITE_REGISTRATION_URL is fine, nothing reads it anymore.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Fair blocker. We're keeping these out of the Aiven deploy screen, but not at the cost of the published image, so I've left the removal off this PR for now. Let's sort the right split (a Dockerfile.aiven target vs another approach) between us before it lands. VITE_REGISTRATION_URL can stay dropped since nothing reads it.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The removal is still on the branch — at 1550e94 Dockerfile is in the changed files and APP_VERSION, VITE_PUBLIC_POSTHOG_PROJECT_TOKEN, VITE_PUBLIC_POSTHOG_HOST and POSTHOG_API_KEY are all still gone. Looks like the revert wasn't pushed. Happy to leave the thread open until we agree the split, but as it stands the blocker still applies to this PR.

You're right, and apologies for the earlier reply. The removal was still committed on the branch; my in-session revert was never pushed. Fixed in da913eb1: the shared Dockerfile is restored to match master (git diff master -- Dockerfile is empty), so the published image keeps its telemetry keys and version. The deploy-screen cleanup moved to a dedicated Dockerfile.aiven that compose.aiven.yaml builds from, so those ARGs are dropped only for the from-source Aiven build. VITE_REGISTRATION_URL stays dropped there too.

The fix is correct, and it's urgent: v0.45.0 has this crash (see the summary). Could this go in its own small PR with a boot or unit test, so it isn't held up by the Dockerfile discussion?
The mode check also only mirrors the gating in app.module.ts. If SelfHostedAgentModule fails to load in workspace-enabled mode (that path logs a warning and keeps booting), app.get crashes the same way. A lookup that can't reach the exit-on-error wrapper would be sturdier. For example, resolve through the optional AGENT_GATEWAY token that a provider exposes as null when absent, or create the app with abortOnError: false.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Good catch on the workspace-enabled edge case. Fixed: the app is now created with abortOnError: false, so a provider-lookup failure is rethrown into the surrounding try/catch instead of hitting Nest's default ExceptionsZone teardown (process.exit(1)). The mode guard still handles the common WORKSPACE_DISABLED path cleanly, and this covers the case where SelfHostedAgentModule fails to load while workspace is enabled. Verified the API still boots and listens under WORKSPACE_DISABLED=true.

Minor: making no-verify the template default leaves the audit storage connection encrypted but unauthenticated, so anyone on the path can impersonate the server. It's documented well. If Runtime can mount a file or pass an https URL, shipping STORAGE_SSL_CA pointed at the Aiven project CA would make the one-click path secure by default.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The secure path now actually works: an earlier version dropped the CA because pg overwrites an explicit ssl option with the connection string's sslmode. The adapter now normalizes sslmode by intent, so setting STORAGE_SSL_CA to the Aiven project CA gives full chain plus hostname verification (verified). I kept STORAGE_SSL_NO_VERIFY as the zero-config template default so one-click still works, with the CA path documented as the production recommendation. Happy to flip the default to CA-verified if we can rely on Runtime mounting the cert.

Minor: other boolean flags use isTrueFlag (it trims whitespace); here true or a trailing newline from a secret store silently means TLS off. DB_TLS is also missing from env.schema. The same applies to STORAGE_SSL_NO_VERIFY in postgres.adapter.ts.

Done. DB_TLS and STORAGE_SSL_NO_VERIFY now go through isTrueFlag, so a trailing newline from a secret store no longer silently means off. Added DB_TLS, STORAGE_SSL_CA and STORAGE_SSL_NO_VERIFY to env.schema, with a regression test for the trimming.
… env schema) From Petar's review on the internal PR (Dockerfile telemetry/version and the PR split are being handled separately): - main.ts: create the app with abortOnError:false so a provider-lookup failure is rethrown into the surrounding try/catch instead of hitting Nest's default ExceptionsZone teardown (process.exit(1)). The mode guard already covers WORKSPACE_DISABLED; this also covers the edge case Petar raised where SelfHostedAgentModule fails to load in workspace-enabled mode (it logs a warning and keeps booting, leaving AgentGateway unregistered). - DB_TLS and STORAGE_SSL_NO_VERIFY now go through isTrueFlag (trims whitespace), so a trailing newline from a secret store no longer silently means off. Add DB_TLS, STORAGE_SSL_CA and STORAGE_SSL_NO_VERIFY to env.schema, with a regression test for the trimming. Verified: tsc clean, env.schema specs pass, and the API still boots and listens under WORKSPACE_DISABLED=true.

Thanks for the thorough pass. Kristiyan and I decided to keep the bootstrap fix in this PR rather than split it, so it lands together. Agreed it's urgent though: if you want to cut the v0.45.0 patch sooner, I'm happy to cherry-pick just the main.ts commit onto a release branch so the fix isn't gated by the rest. |

Re-reviewed at 1550e94. abortOnError: false is the right call — I reproduced it against the same Nest version: app.get of an unregistered provider now throws UnknownElementException into the surrounding try/catch instead of exiting, and a genuine boot failure still exits 1, so the crash-loop path is properly closed. The isTrueFlag + env.schema changes look good.
Two follow-ups inline, plus the Dockerfile thread (the removal is still on the branch).
Yes please on the cherry-pick: a release branch carrying just the main.ts commit would let us patch v0.45.0 without waiting on the Dockerfile split.

Two follow-ups on this change:
Regression test. The new specs cover the env flags, but the boot path that actually broke v0.45.0 is still untested, so the same mistake would ship again unnoticed. A small spec that builds the module with WORKSPACE_DISABLED=true and asserts bootstrap resolves (or just that the gateway lookup returns null instead of exiting) would pin it.
Minor: bootstrap() at the bottom of this file has no .catch, so with abortOnError: false a startup failure now surfaces as a raw unhandled-rejection stack trace rather than Nest's formatted error (exit code is 1 either way — I checked both). bootstrap().catch((err) => { console.error(err); process.exit(1); }) would keep startup failures readable in container logs.
Worth knowing too: the other app.get calls in this file that sit inside try/catch (the ConnectionRegistry startup-error block, for instance) now really do catch instead of killing the process. That matches what those comments always claimed, just noting the behaviour changed with them.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Both done in da913eb1. Extracted the gateway resolution into resolveAgentGateway with a unit test covering WORKSPACE_DISABLED (returns null without calling app.get), the workspace-enabled edge case where the provider is absent (returns null instead of exiting), a registered gateway, and the not-built require failure. Also added bootstrap().catch so a startup failure logs a readable error instead of a raw unhandled-rejection stack. Good calls.

Scratch the split — let's keep this as one PR and no cherry-pick. The bootstrap fix ships with the rest. That does put the Dockerfile thread on the critical path: the |
…teway bootstrap Addresses the remaining review feedback (Petar): - Restore the shared Dockerfile to master so the published betterdb/monitor image keeps its telemetry keys and version stamp (the earlier removal regressed every published image just to tidy Aiven's deploy screen). Move that cleanup into a dedicated Dockerfile.aiven, which compose.aiven.yaml now builds from, so the telemetry/version ARGs are dropped only for the from-source Aiven build. - Extract the agent-gateway resolution from main.ts into resolveAgentGateway and unit-test it: returns null under WORKSPACE_DISABLED without calling app.get, returns null instead of exiting when the provider is absent in workspace-enabled mode (the edge case flagged in review), returns the gateway when registered, and returns null when the proprietary code is not built. The proprietary require stays in main.ts so its runtime path is unchanged. - bootstrap() now has a .catch, so with abortOnError:false a startup failure logs a readable error instead of a raw unhandled-rejection stack.

Approving at da913eb. Verified the three fixes rather than taking them on trust:
git diff master -- Dockerfileis empty, so the published image keeps its telemetry keys and version.resolveAgentGatewayis covered by four unit tests, including the exact v0.45.0 case (provider absent, returns null instead of exiting).bootstrap().catchlogs and exits 1.
All 21 checks pass. One non-blocking note on Dockerfile.aiven inline — worth a follow-up, not a reason to hold this.
Thanks for turning this around quickly. Once it merges, let's cut the v0.45.x patch: the WORKSPACE_DISABLED crash is live for anyone on v0.45.0.

Non-blocking, for a follow-up: this is a 324-line copy of the 347-line Dockerfile that differs only by the ~28 ARG lines, with a comment as the only thing keeping them in sync. Base-image bumps, the redis-shake patching and security fixes will drift silently, and the Aiven build is exactly the one nobody rebuilds often enough to notice.
A CI job that diffs the two files while ignoring the known ARG block would catch it cheaply. Failing that, dropping the duplicate and accepting a few empty fields on the deploy screen is the cheaper trade — the fields are cosmetic, a stale base image isn't.
Summary
Adds
compose.aiven.yamlso BetterDB Monitor deploys on Aiven Runtime, plus the app-side fixes needed to actually boot against Aiven's managed Postgres/Valkey and in workspace-disabled mode. Verified running end to end on Aiven Runtime (app builds from the Dockerfile, managed Aiven PostgreSQL for audit storage, monitoring a managed Aiven Valkey).

compose.aiven.yaml(no-AIproduction-no-aibuild, managed Postgres for audit storage, bring-your-own Valkey) andDockerfile.aiven, a Dockerfile twin that drops empty telemetry/version build args so they do not clutter the Runtime deploy UI.Managed-database connectivity: New
DB_TLSturns on TLS for the env-configured default monitored connection (was hardcoded off). PostgreSQL audit storage gainsSTORAGE_SSL_CA/STORAGE_SSL_NO_VERIFY; the adapter rewritessslmodein the connection string sopgis not overwritten by provider-injectedsslmode=require. TLS-related flags and emptyPOSTHOG_HOSTare normalized in env validation (whitespace-paddedtrue, blank PostHog host).Bootstrap / workspace-disabled: Agent WebSocket resolution moves to
resolveAgentGateway, which skips lookup when workspace mode isdisabledand returns null if the provider or proprietary module is missing. Nest boots withabortOnError: falseandbootstrap().catchso missingAgentGatewaydoes notprocess.exitbefore the handler runs.Docs update
.env.exampleandREADME.mdfor the new settings; unit tests cover gateway resolution and env regressions.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit da913eb. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
