Advanced Settings

This guide covers advanced configuration options for Spacelift Flows, including deploying in a private VPC, HTTP proxy configuration, and custom CA certificate support.

Private VPC Deployment

To deploy Spacelift Flows in a private VPC where services are not exposed to the public internet:

1. Configure the ingress to use internal scheme:

   • In the Helm values, change alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/scheme from internet-facing to internal
   • Use the internal ingress manifest: tofu output -raw internal_ingress_manifest | kubectl apply -f -

2. Ensure your VPC has appropriate networking configured:

   • Private subnets with NAT gateway for outbound internet access
   • Security groups allowing communication between services

3. Access the deployment through a VPN, bastion host, or other private network connection

Outgoing IPs and Hosts

Flows makes outbound connections to the following hosts. If you are running in a restricted network environment, ensure these are reachable.

Container Images

The following images are pulled from public registries at startup:

Image	Registry	Purpose
public.ecr.aws/w5z2f6e8/spacelift-flows-backend	AWS Public ECR	Backend services
public.ecr.aws/w5z2f6e8/spacelift-flows-agent	AWS Public ECR	Agent services
node:24-alpine	Docker Hub	JavaScript runtimes

JavaScript runtimes can be configured to use a custom image.

Anthropic API

The Flows backend calls the Anthropic Claude API to power the built-in assistant. Anthropic services accept inbound connections from the following IP ranges:

Protocol	CIDR
IPv4	160.79.104.0/23
IPv6	2607:6bc0::/48

Core App Registry

The following endpoint is used to fetch officially supported apps:

URL	Purpose
https://registry.useflows.com/core	Core apps

Community Registry

The following endpoint is used to fetch community apps:

URL	Purpose
https://registry.useflows.com/community	Community apps

Community apps are sourced from GitHub. Ensure that https://github.com is also reachable for the community registry to function.

HTTP Proxy Configuration

If your environment requires outbound connections through an HTTP proxy, configure proxy settings for all Spacelift Flows components:

Application Services

Add proxy environment variables to your Helm values file:

worker:
  extraEnv:
    - name: HTTP_PROXY
      value: http://your-proxy.example.com:8080
    - name: HTTPS_PROXY
      value: http://your-proxy.example.com:8080
    - name: NO_PROXY
      value: localhost,127.0.0.1,.cluster.local

gateway:
  extraEnv:
    - name: HTTP_PROXY
      value: http://your-proxy.example.com:8080
    - name: HTTPS_PROXY
      value: http://your-proxy.example.com:8080
    - name: NO_PROXY
      value: localhost,127.0.0.1,.cluster.local

server:
  extraEnv:
    - name: HTTP_PROXY
      value: http://your-proxy.example.com:8080
    - name: HTTPS_PROXY
      value: http://your-proxy.example.com:8080
    - name: NO_PROXY
      value: localhost,127.0.0.1,.cluster.local

Agent Configuration

Specify the http_proxy variable in the agent Terraform module configuration:

module "spacelift_flows_agent_pool" {
  # ... other configuration ...
  http_proxy = "http://your-proxy.example.com:8080"
}

Custom CA Certificates

If your environment uses custom certificate authorities (e.g., for internal services or proxy SSL inspection), you can configure Spacelift Flows to trust additional CA certificates.

Format

Provide the custom_ca_certificates variable to both the main Terraform module and the agent Terraform module. The value must be a base64-encoded JSON object with the following structure:

{
  "caCertificates": [
    "<base64-encoded-cert-1>",
    "<base64-encoded-cert-2>"
  ]
}

Each certificate in the array must be a base64-encoded PEM format certificate.

Example

module "spacelift_flows" {
  # ... other configuration ...
  custom_ca_certificates = "eyJjYUNlcnRpZmljYXRlcyI6WyJMUz..."
}

module "spacelift_flows_agent_pool" {
  # ... other configuration ...
  custom_ca_certificates = "eyJjYUNlcnRpZmljYXRlcyI6WyJMUz..."
}

Generating the Value

You can generate the required format using the following script:

# Combine multiple PEM certificates into a single JSON structure
jq -n \
  --arg cert1 "$(cat ca-cert-1.pem | base64)" \
  --arg cert2 "$(cat ca-cert-2.pem | base64)" \
  '{caCertificates: [$cert1, $cert2]}' | base64
