Merge STF_685_MEC_IPE: Integration of tinyIoT, meepctl improvements, and Ansible setup fixes

Muhammad Umair Khanrequested to merge
STF_685_MEC_IPE into STF_685

This Merge Request merges STF_685_MEC_IPE into STF_685. It brings in key changes including tinyIoT (oneM2M Middle/Infrastructure Node CSE) integration, meepctl feature additions, Docker/K8s setup patches, and local Ansible environment fixes.

Summary of Main Changes Included:

1. tinyIoT Integration (MEC & IoT Platform Support)
  • MEC033 & IoT Callback Support: Resolved callback failure issues for MEC033 registered IoT platforms.
  • tinyIoT Middle Node (MN) CSE: Added dynamic lookup logic in the entrypoint script to resolve the remote IN-CSE service host dynamically.
  • Background Tickers: Optimized refresh interval times for meep-iot and meep-sss from higher frequencies to a 60-second background refresh cycle.
  • MECSupport Plugin: Integrated custom MECSupport plugins for oneM2M node registrations with the MEC Sandbox services.
2. meepctl & Local Automation Improvements
  • Individual Dependency Control: Added features to meepctl to allow individual deployments and deletion of dependencies (e.g. meepctl deploy/delete <dep_name>).
  • Force-Deploy Cooldown: Added deployment cooldown safety triggers for meepctl force-deploy.
  • Tilt Integration: Added and patched Kubernetes Tiltfile assets for sandbox automation and local hot-reloading development workflows.
3. Docker & Security Context Patches
  • Docker Registry UID/GID Mapping: Patched meepctl to dynamically inject the configuration's UID/GID variables into the meep-docker-registry StatefulSet securityContext.
  • DAI API Container fix: Created an empty onboardedapp directory inside the Docker build workspace to prevent build failures for the DAI API service container.
4. Ansible Setup Fixes (Issue #30 (closed))
  • Ingress & OAuth: Updated matching regular expressions to support both mec-platform.etsi.org and try-mec.etsi.org redirect URIs.
  • Docker Downgrades: Unpinned hardcoded version tags from Docker CE installations to avoid downgrade blockages on hosts with newer packages.
  • CoreDNS Resolvers: Patched the cluster's Corefile to forward to public resolvers (8.8.8.8 1.1.1.1), resolving external query resolution loops.
  • Go Compiler Upgrade: Updated Go environment to 1.25.0, bypassing mixed standard-library compile panics.
  • .meep directory permissions: Ensured directories are pre-created on the host using the configured {{ target_user }} ownership prior to Kubernetes volume mounts, preventing permission conflicts when Kubernetes initializes missing hostPath mounts as root.
