Root cause: backend deployment.yaml referenced secretKeyRef key: DB_USER and
key: DB_PASSWORD, but the live secret only has MYSQL_USER and MYSQL_PASSWORD.
kubectl apply reported secret/mysql-secret as "unchanged" (last-applied matched
desired) so the drift was never caught — new pods got CreateContainerConfigError.
Changes:
- backend/deployment.yaml: DB_USER → key: MYSQL_USER, DB_PASSWORD → key: MYSQL_PASSWORD
- mysql/deployment.yaml: add MYSQL_USER/MYSQL_PASSWORD env vars so the app user
(scrumapp) is created if MySQL ever reinitializes from a fresh PVC
- mysql/secret.yaml: remove stale commented-out block with old key names

Database fixes:
- Add hostPath.type=DirectoryOrCreate so kubelet auto-creates /mnt/data/mysql
- Add fsGroup=999 so MySQL process can write to the hostPath volume
- Add MYSQL_ROOT_HOST=% to allow backend pods to authenticate as root
- Fix liveness/readiness probes to include credentials (-p$MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD)
- Increase probe initialDelaySeconds (30/60s) for slow first-run init
- Add 15s grace sleep in backend initContainer after MySQL TCP is up
- Add persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy=Retain to prevent accidental data loss
- Explicit accessModes+resources in PVC patch to avoid list merge ambiguity
- Add nodeAffinity comment in PV for multi-node cluster guidance
Ingress/nginx fixes:
- Remove broken rewrite-target=/ that was rewriting all paths (incl /api) to /
- Route /socket.io directly to backend for WebSocket support
- Add /socket.io/ proxy location to both nginx.conf and K8s ConfigMap
Frontend fix:
- Persist currentUser to localStorage on login so page refresh no longer
clears session and redirects users back to the login page
Tooling:
- Add k8s/overlays/on-premise/deploy.sh for one-command deployment
