fix: update PostgreSQL securityContext for OpenShift SCC compliance (#823)
## Problem The ambient-api-server PostgreSQL pod was failing to start in some OpenShift environments due to Security Context Constraint (SCC) violations. The pod was configured with: ```yaml securityContext: runAsUser: 999 # Explicit UID runAsGroup: 999 # Explicit GID fsGroup: 999 # Explicit fsGroup # runAsNonRoot: NOT SET (defaults to false) ``` **Root Cause**: While UID 999 is non-root, some OpenShift namespaces have SCC policies that restrict which specific UIDs are allowed. The explicit `runAsUser: 999` was being rejected because 999 was outside the namespace's allowed UID range. ## Solution Replace explicit UID/GID specifications with `runAsNonRoot: true`, allowing OpenShift to auto-assign secure UIDs from the namespace's allowed ranges: ### Pod-level securityContext: ```yaml # BEFORE: securityContext: runAsUser: 999 runAsGroup: 999 fsGroup: 999 # AFTER: securityContext: runAsNonRoot: true ``` ### Container-level securityContext: ```yaml # BEFORE: securityContext: runAsUser: 999 runAsGroup: 999 allowPrivilegeEscalation: false readOnlyRootFilesystem: false capabilities: drop: - ALL # AFTER: securityContext: allowPrivilegeEscalation: false readOnlyRootFilesystem: false runAsNonRoot: true capabilities: drop: - ALL ``` ## Benefits - ✅ **Portable across OpenShift clusters** - works regardless of namespace UID ranges - ✅ **SCC compliant** - compatible with restricted-v2 and other strict SCCs - ✅ **Auto-assigned security** - OpenShift assigns appropriate UID/GID/fsGroup - ✅ **No functionality loss** - PostgreSQL continues to run as non-root with proper permissions ## Test Plan - [ ] Deploy to OpenShift namespace with restricted SCC - [ ] Verify pod starts successfully (1/1 Ready) - [ ] Verify PostgreSQL service accepts connections - [ ] Verify data persistence works correctly - [ ] Check that OpenShift auto-assigns secure UID/GID values 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
