Add KubeSpan to the documentation #52
Conversation
WalkthroughThe changes introduce a new section titled "Configuration" to the FAQ document, specifically focusing on enabling KubeSpan in Talos Linux. This section provides detailed instructions for configuring KubeSpan within the Talos Linux configuration file, including the necessary YAML structure and guidance on adjusting the MTU value for Kube-OVN. The existing content of the document remains unchanged, ensuring that the new information complements the current material without altering it. Changes

64-69: Enhance the introduction with more contextWhile the introduction is clear, consider adding:
- The minimum required Talos Linux version
- Key benefits of using KubeSpan (e.g., secure node communication, simplified networking)
- Prerequisites or limitations users should be aware of
70-80: Add explanation for discovery.enabled settingThe YAML example is clear, but please explain why
discovery.enabledis set tofalse. This will help users understand the implications of this configuration.
82-94: Provide guidance for MTU calculationWhile the example shows an MTU of 1222, it would be helpful to:
- Explain how this value was calculated
- Guide users on determining the optimal MTU for their environment
- Mention potential signs of incorrect MTU configuration (e.g., packet fragmentation issues)

66-69: Consider expanding the introduction with more contextWhile the introduction is clear, it would be helpful to add:
- A brief explanation of what KubeSpan is (e.g., "KubeSpan is a secure networking layer that...")
- The benefits of enabling it
- When users might want to consider using this feature

64-65: LGTM!
The new section header follows the existing document structure and style.
64-96: Verify documentation alignment with implementation
Since this documentation depends on PR #487 in the main CozyStack repository, we should verify that:
- The feature implementation matches the documented configuration
- All configuration options are correctly documented
| Since KubeSpan encapsulates traffic into a WireGuard tunnel, Kube-OVN should also be configured with a lower MTU value. | ||
|
|
||
| To achieve this, add the following to the Cozystack ConfigMap: | ||
|
|
||
| ```yaml | ||
| apiVersion: v1 | ||
| kind: ConfigMap | ||
| metadata: | ||
| name: cozystack | ||
| namespace: cozy-system | ||
| data: | ||
| values-kubeovn: | | ||
| kube-ovn: | ||
| mtu: 1222 | ||
| ``` |

🛠️ Refactor suggestion
Add explanation for MTU value calculation
While the configuration example is clear, it would be helpful to:
- Explain how the MTU value of 1222 was calculated
- Provide guidance on how users can determine the optimal MTU value for their environment
- Add a note about potential network performance implications
Consider adding a brief explanation like:
Since KubeSpan encapsulates traffic into a WireGuard tunnel, Kube-OVN should also be configured with a lower MTU value.
+ The MTU value of 1222 is calculated by subtracting the WireGuard overhead (80 bytes) from the default MTU (1302 bytes).
+ You may need to adjust this value based on your network infrastructure and any additional encapsulation overhead.📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

💡 Codebase verification
Documentation links are valid, but additional context needed
The documentation links are valid (both return 200 status codes), and from the codebase search, we found that KubeSpan is a WireGuard-based mesh network that requires MTU configuration consideration. However, the current documentation lacks important details that are visible in the codebase:
- Add a note about MTU configuration requirement since KubeSpan uses WireGuard encapsulation
- Mention that this is specifically for enabling a full mesh WireGuard network
- Add a reference to the Kube-OVN MTU configuration that's needed
Locations needing attention:
content/en/docs/faq.md: Add the MTU configuration context before the YAML examplecontent/en/docs/faq.md: Include the relationship with Kube-OVN configuration after the YAML example
🔗 Analysis chain
Verify documentation links and add important considerations
The configuration example is clear, but consider adding:
- Any prerequisites before enabling KubeSpan
- Potential impacts on existing cluster networking
- Security implications or requirements
Also, let's verify that the documentation links are valid and point to the correct versions.
Let me gather more information about the configuration context and prerequisites by searching through the codebase.
Let me try one more search to find any related documentation or configuration details.
