PLAN: Dev Template Ingress Cleanup After Platform-Managed Routing

IMPLEMENTATION RULES: Before implementing this plan, read and follow:

Status: Complete​

Goal: Remove redundant ingress.yaml and obsolete urbalurba-scripts/ from dev templates — routing is now the platform's responsibility.

Last Updated: 2026-03-04

Investigation: INVESTIGATE-dev-template-ingress-cleanup

Prerequisites: Platform-managed IngressRoute (Phase 6 of PLAN-argocd-register-redesign) — deployed and tested

Problem Summary​

Now that uis argocd register creates a platform-managed IngressRoute (HostRegexp(<app_name>..+)), repos no longer need to ship their own ingress manifests. But:

  1. All 7 templates in urbalurba-dev-templates still include ingress.yaml
  2. The live test repo urb-dev-typescript-hello-world still has ingress.yaml
  3. Both repos still ship urbalurba-scripts/ with obsolete registration scripts replaced by uis argocd register/remove/list/verify
  4. README files reference both ingress.yaml and urbalurba-scripts/

Repos should only contain deployment.yaml and kustomization.yaml in their manifests.

Phase 1: Clean up hello-world repo (test first) — ✅ DONE​

Repo: urb-dev-typescript-hello-world (/Users/terje.christensen/learn/projects-2026/urb-family/dev-templates/urb-dev-typescript-hello-world)

Do this first so we can push, register, and verify the platform IngressRoute works without any repo-level ingress.

Tasks​

  • 1.1 Delete manifests/ingress.yaml (Traefik IngressRoute routing urb-dev-typescript-hello-world.localhost — redundant now that the platform routes hello-world.localhost)
  • 1.2 Edit manifests/kustomization.yaml — remove - ingress.yaml from the resources: list
  • 1.3 Delete urbalurba-scripts/ directory (contains obsolete register-argocd.sh, remove-argocd.sh, check-deployment.sh, setup-local-dns.sh and .bat equivalents)
  • 1.4 Edit README-typescript-basic-webserver.md — remove ingress.yaml from the file structure tree
  • 1.5 Commit and push to GitHub (commit 223cef6)

Validation​

After pushing:

uis argocd remove hello-world
uis argocd register hello-world https://github.com/terchris/urb-dev-typescript-hello-world
# Wait for ArgoCD sync
kubectl get ingressroute -n hello-world
# Should show only hello-world-ingressroute (platform-managed), no repo-level IngressRoute
curl http://hello-world.localhost
# Should return app response via platform IngressRoute

User confirms ArgoCD shows app as healthy and synced (no missing ingress.yaml errors).

Phase 2: Clean up all 7 templates — ✅ DONE​

Repo: urbalurba-dev-templates (/Users/terje.christensen/learn/projects-2026/urb-family/urbalurba-dev-templates)

Only proceed after Phase 1 verification passes.

Tasks​

  • 2.1 Delete ingress.yaml from all 7 templates
  • 2.2 Edit kustomization.yaml in all 7 templates — remove - ingress.yaml from the resources: list
  • 2.3 Delete urbalurba-scripts/ directory at repo root
  • 2.4 Edit all 7 template README files — remove ingress.yaml from file structure trees
  • 2.5 Edit root README.md — removed urbalurba-scripts section, updated registration instructions
  • 2.6 Commit and push to GitHub (commit 56c96d9)

Validation​

User confirms changes look correct and README accurately reflects the new workflow.

Acceptance Criteria​

  • urb-dev-typescript-hello-world deploys and routes correctly with only deployment.yaml and kustomization.yaml (no ingress.yaml) — verified Round 7/8
  • ArgoCD syncs the hello-world app without errors — verified Round 7
  • curl http://hello-world.localhost returns app response via platform IngressRoute — verified Round 8
  • No ingress.yaml in any of the 7 templates — commit 56c96d9
  • No urbalurba-scripts/ directory in either repo — commits 223cef6 and 56c96d9
  • All README files updated — no references to removed files or obsolete scripts
