Description of your changes

This PR adds support for running crossplane project in devcontainers and closed company networks with the following changes:

  1. Add configuration options for KinD in crossplane-project.yaml.

    • Allow the user to specify their own kind-config (to avoid the need for more updates and flags to support other kind options later, ref. Adam's comment in this issue)
    • Add options to:
      • specify docker-network
      • use internal KinD kubeconfig.
      • specify registry storage type (ref explanation below)
    Example crossplane-project file
     apiVersion: dev.crossplane.io/v1alpha1
     kind: Project
     metadata:
       name: example
     spec:
       dependencies:
         - type: xpkg
           xpkg:
             apiVersion: pkg.crossplane.io/v1
             kind: Function
             package: xpkg.crossplane.io/crossplane-contrib/function-go-templating
             version: "v0.12.4"
         - type: xpkg
           xpkg:
             apiVersion: pkg.crossplane.io/v1
             kind: Provider
             package: xpkg.crossplane.io/crossplane-contrib/provider-kubernetes
             version: "v1.3.1"
       repository: example.com/my-org/example
      # New runtime field 
       runtime:
         registry:
           storage:
             type: volume
         kind:
           config:
             path: kind-config.yaml
           internal: true
           network:
             name: my-network
  1. Support registry data sideloading when running crossplane project in Docker-in-Docker

    When running crossplane project in a container, bind-mounting the CLI’s local registry directory into the registry container mounts an empty host path, leaving the registry without its certificates and package data.
    This happens because the generated files are only in the container where the command was ran, and not on the host.

    I added a storage interface where the bind-mount implementation ensures we keep old behavior, and a config-flag to use a volume-implementation. This required some refactoring of the code, for example moving where certs are created so they can be initalized in the docker-volume.

Fixes #313

With these changes, a user in a closed company network and devcontainer can run crossplane project with the following files and command:

./crossplane-project.yaml
apiVersion: dev.crossplane.io/v1alpha1

Bind-mounting the local registry directory into the registry container
relies on the CLI's filesystem being visible to the Docker daemon. That
breaks when Crossplane itself runs inside a container, since the mount
path only exists in the CLI's own filesystem, not the daemon's.

Before review, I want to refactor this again so that the registry-storage works like before by default, and add a config flag for the docker-volume method. I think that will be cleaner and better.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ba0f0

Some supported local-runtime configurations can fail to install packages or use settings different from those requested. Resolve the configuration and reuse-path failures before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ba0f0

Project files can now configure local cluster networking and registry storage. Existing resources can retain outdated certificates or ignore newly selected settings, causing trust failures and configuration drift. The demonstrated impact is within the selected development environment; no new authentication bypass was established.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · reliability · inferred: The changed certificate-write ordering invalidates registry identity reconciliation. If a registry survives cluster recreation, the comparison accepts the newly overwritten source CA rather than checking the registry’s persisted identity. Volume initialization and cluster trust configuration are skipped on reuse, leaving stale certificate state and potentially preventing authenticated package pulls. This is a trust-recovery failure, not evidence of plaintext fallback.
  • Medium · architecture · inferred: New network and storage selections are not validated against reused resources. Existing clusters bypass network selection, and existing registries bypass network attachment and storage initialization. A requested move away from a shared network can leave the previous connectivity intact; switching from volume storage to bind storage can also select a no-op synchronization strategy while the registry still uses its old volume. Requested configuration therefore does not reliably describe effective isolation or data ownership.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The relevant exposure is the Docker environment available to the invoking user, the named development cluster, registry certificates and packages, and peers reachable through the selected existing network. Running inside a container does not by itself confine authority to that container, because Docker operations target the environment-configured daemon.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Project-authored YAML now supplies complete cluster configuration and network defaults to privileged creation operations. The operator must invoke project run with Docker access. Internal-address selection changes kubeconfig export addressing, while the existing separate cluster-admin option remains unchanged; these facts do not establish a new unauthenticated privilege-escalation path.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Sideload publishes its image rewrite configuration before volume synchronization and returns copying failures afterward. The visible flow has no compensating rollback or serialization around filesystem writes and copying, so it does not establish atomic publication across interrupted or concurrent calls.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Reconcile reused resources against durable certificate identity, actual mounts, and network membership before accepting them. Reject incompatible configuration or recreate resources deliberately, and remove or mark partially initialized containers so retries cannot mistake them for completed setup.
  • proposed — Make explicit that project-selected KinD configuration is privileged infrastructure input rather than sandboxed project data. Document daemon-host authority and network reachability, and preserve explicit command overrides when users need to constrain project defaults.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Add enum validation to StorageConfig.Type. A misspelled value currently falls back to bind mounts without any warning.

Thanks for adding this option. In cmd/crossplane/project/run.go, resolveRunOptions selects volume storage only when the value equals "volume" exactly. Any other value, such as "Volume" or "volumes", falls back to bind mounts without an error. A DinD user with a typo gets bind mounts, and the registry then fails in a confusing way. The default error branch in controlplane.go never runs for this input.

Could you add a +kubebuilder:validation:Enum=bindMount;volume marker? Could you also reject unknown non-empty values in resolveRunOptions?

Proposed fix
 	// The type of storage to use.
 	// Options: "bindMount" (default), "volume".
+	// +kubebuilder:validation:Enum=bindMount;volume
+	// +optional
 	Type string `json:"type,omitempty"`

💡 Result:

No relevant context found from external knowledge sources.

🌐 Web query:

github.com/alecthomas/kong v1.16.1 bool flag explicit false --flag=false negatable documentation source

💡 Result:

For **Kong v1.16.1**, the version-pinned test confirms that an explicitly assigned false works: `--flag=false` parses to `false` for a `bool` field tagged `negatable` (with default `true`). It also tests `--no-flag` as the negated form. ([github.com](https://github.com/alecthomas/kong/blob/v1.16.1/kong_test.go))

The v1.16.1 README documents `negatable` as enabling `--no-` to invert the default, but doesn’t mention `--flag=false` specifically; that behavior is established by the version’s test. ([github.com](https://github.com/alecthomas/kong/blob/v1.16.1/README.md))

🌐 Web query:

site:github.com/alecthomas/kong/blob/v1.16.1 ordinary bool field --flag=false Parse bool flag false Kong test

💡 Result:

Yes. In **Kong v1.16.1**, the `TestBoolOverride` test parses `--flag=false` into a `bool` field with a `true` default and expects no error. It also checks that `--flag false` (space-separated) errors. ([github.com](https://github.com/alecthomas/kong/blob/v1.16.1/kong_test.go))

So for a normal bool field, use `--flag=false` to explicitly set it to false.

Preserve an explicit --internal=false override.

Thanks for adding the project runtime default. Could we track whether --internal was supplied and use the project value only when it was absent? When runtime.kind.internal is true, Kong parses --internal=false, but this branch replaces false with true. Run then passes true to WithInternal, so KinD exports internal addresses despite the command override.

Compare the persisted CA before overwriting it.

When volume storage is used and a kind cluster is recreated while its registry container remains, this writes the new CA before ensureLocalRegistry compares it. The comparison then matches, so the code starts the old container and returns without refreshing its volume or configuring the new cluster’s containerd trust. Image pulls from the registry can fail TLS verification. Could we compare the persisted CA first and recreate and reinitialize the registry when it differs? Thanks for adding volume-backed storage.

Update the registry setup before the CA files are written to compare the
persisted CA with certSecret’s CA; when they differ, recreate and reinitialize
the registry so volume storage and the new cluster’s containerd trust use the
new CA. Preserve the existing behavior when the CA matches, and ensure
ensureLocalRegistry does not compare against a CA already overwritten by this
setup.

site:docs.docker.com networking user-defined bridge containers communicate only same network name resolution isolated networks

💡 Result:

Docker’s user-defined bridge networks are **scoped and isolated**: containers can communicate directly when attached to the same network, while containers on different bridge networks are isolated by default. On a user-defined bridge, containers can also resolve one another by container name or network alias. ([docs.docker.com](https://docs.docker.com/engine/network/drivers/bridge/?utm_source=openai))

So “only containers on the same network can communicate” is a useful shorthand, but not absolute: containers attached to multiple networks can communicate on each shared network, and published ports can allow access across networks.

site:kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs KIND_EXPERIMENTAL_DOCKER_NETWORK existing cluster docker network create

💡 Result:

The kind docs describe `KIND_EXPERIMENTAL_DOCKER_NETWORK` as a setting for **cluster creation**: set it to the name of an existing Docker network before running `kind create cluster`. The docs do not say it can move or reconfigure an already-created cluster. ([kind.sigs.k8s.io](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/configuration/?utm_source=openai))

For an existing cluster, the closest documented approach is to connect its node containers to the desired network with Docker; kind’s local-registry guide uses `docker network connect` to connect a registry to the kind network. That example doesn’t specifically document switching a cluster’s nodes to another network, so that use remains unconfirmed by the cited docs. ([kind.sigs.k8s.io](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/local-registry/?utm_source=openai))

Keep reused KinD nodes on the selected Docker network.

Thanks for adding network selection. When project run reuses a cluster whose nodes are not attached to the selected network and creates a new registry, ensureKindCluster skips createNewKindCluster, where KIND_EXPERIMENTAL_DOCKER_NETWORK is set. ensureLocalRegistry connects the new registry to the selected network instead. KinD’s containerd is configured to use regName:5000, so on isolated bridge networks it may not reach the registry, and configuration installation can fail. Could ensureKindCluster reconcile the reused nodes to the selected network or reject the mismatch before registry creation?

Reconcile reused registries with the selected network.

Thanks for adding configurable Docker networks. Could this branch attach existing to networkName, or reject the mismatch, before returning? Teardown deletes the KinD cluster but only stops the registry container, so a later call can create a cluster on a different network and find the old container. The caller writes the current CA file before the comparison, and the reuse branch only starts the container; unlike new-container startup, it never calls NetworkConnect. Sideload rewrites images to regName:5000, so nodes on the new network may not reach the old registry when pulling them.
