feat(aisix): serve several proxy listeners, each with its own TLS

[jarvis9443]

The gateway can bind more than one proxy listener now (proxy.listeners), so one deployment can serve HTTPS and plain HTTP side by side. This exposes that through charts/aisix as a listeners list.

listeners:
  - name: https
    containerPort: 3443
    servicePort: 443
    tls:
      secretName: aisix-proxy-tls   # kubernetes.io/tls Secret, e.g. from cert-manager
  - name: http
    containerPort: 3000
    servicePort: 80

Empty — the default — changes nothing. Every template renders byte-for-byte as before: the single listener from containerPorts.proxy, published on service.port, with the probes on the proxy port.

A non-empty list is the complete set of proxy listeners:

• one container port per entry, named after the entry; the default proxy port is not rendered
• still one proxy Service, publishing one port per entry (port: servicePort, targetPort: <name>, optional nodePort on non-ClusterIP types). service.port / service.nodePort are not read in this mode
• each TLS entry mounts its Secret read-only at /etc/aisix/tls/<name>, which is where the listener's cert_file / key_file point — the gateway takes certificates as file paths, not inline PEM
• the set reaches the gateway as AISIX_PROXY__LISTENERS, one JSON document built with toJson, because the gateway reads no indexed environment variables
• AISIX_PROXY__ADDR keeps being injected: the gateway still requires proxy.addr to be present and parseable, and with proxy.listeners set it logs that it ignores it and binds nothing on it
• every listener serves the same routes, /livez and /readyz included, so the startup / readiness / liveness probes target the first entry, with scheme: HTTPS when that entry terminates TLS (the kubelet does not verify the certificate)

Rendering fails on an entry missing name, containerPort or servicePort, and on a duplicate name or container port — the gateway rejects two listeners on one address at startup, so it is worth catching at template time.

The metrics Service, ServiceMonitor, HPA, KEDA and PDB are untouched.

CI gains a second charts/aisix install: it creates a self-signed kubernetes.io/tls Secret in the test namespace, installs the standalone values plus ci/listeners-values.yaml (https on 3443 and http on 3000) with --wait, and checks that both Service ports answer /livez from an in-cluster curl pod. The existing single-listener install stays as it is.

No chart version bump: ct lint runs with --charts here, which disables its version-increment check, and the last chart-only change to charts/aisix (#388) did not bump either. version and appVersion move together at release time.

Fixes api7/AISIX-Cloud#1662

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The aisix Helm chart now supports multiple proxy listeners with independent ports, optional TLS Secrets, listener-aware Services and probes, updated notes and documentation, and CI coverage for HTTP and HTTPS health checks.

Changes

aisix multi-listener support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Listener configuration and validation charts/aisix/values.yaml, charts/aisix/templates/_helpers.tpl	Adds listener values with per-listener ports, optional NodePorts and TLS Secrets. Validates required fields and duplicate names or container ports.
Deployment and Service rendering charts/aisix/templates/deployment.yaml, charts/aisix/templates/service.yaml	Renders listener ports, listener JSON, TLS mounts, per-listener Service ports, and probes based on the first listener. Preserves the single-listener fallback.
Operational output and validation coverage charts/aisix/templates/NOTES.txt, charts/aisix/README.md, charts/aisix/README.md.gotmpl, charts/aisix/ci/listeners-values.yaml, .github/workflows/ci.yaml	Documents listener and TLS configuration. Updates access instructions. Adds CI installation and HTTP/HTTPS /livez checks.

Full details: E2e Test Quality Review

Explanation

Major issue: the new E2E step covers only the valid HTTPS-plus-HTTP happy path. It does not test the new invalid-input behavior for missing name, containerPort, servicePort, duplicate names, or duplicate container ports, although the PR adds these rendering validations in charts/aisix/templates/_helpers.tpl. The Service-level /livez checks are readable and use real Kubernetes resources, so the core listener flow is covered.

Resolution

Add CI chart checks for invalid listener configurations. Render cases with each required field missing and with duplicate names and container ports, and assert that Helm fails with the expected validation message. Keep the existing dual-listener E2E test for the valid HTTPS/HTTP combination.

Full details: Security Check

Explanation

Category 5 — HIGH. The changed charts/aisix/templates/NOTES.txt:7-9 sets $curl to curl -k whenever the first listener has TLS. The generated commands at lines 48, 53, and 57 then disable certificate verification, including for NodePort and LoadBalancer endpoints, while sending an Authorization Bearer header. This creates a direct MITM path for copied production instructions. The change adds no runtime TLS-version or verification configuration, and the chart correctly mounts TLS secrets by reference rather than exposing their contents. Categories 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 have no issues found. Category 7 has no issues found because the change adds no $env:// or $secret:// reference resolution path.

Resolution

Remove curl -k from the generated user-facing commands. Use normal certificate verification by default (curl https://...). For self-signed deployments, document an explicit opt-in such as curl --cacert ./tls.crt https://... or a configured CA bundle, and warn against disabling verification. Keep -k only in the isolated CI /livez probe, which sends no credential, if the self-signed test requires it.

normalized non-zero nodePort values when service.type is NodePort or
LoadBalancer, and fail validation if a value is repeated. Preserve the existing
listener-name and container-port checks and ensure duplicate nodePorts are
rejected before service.yaml renders.

to accept only Kubernetes-compatible lowercase IANA service names: 1–15
characters, containing lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens, with at least one
letter, no leading or trailing hyphen, and no consecutive hyphens. Also reject
the exact name metrics, while preserving the existing duplicate-listener
uniqueness validation.

Verified locally: default values render byte-for-byte unchanged, and both listeners answer /livez on a real cluster.
