Migration to bare metal

[jchristgit]

Following the deprecation/retirement of Ingress NGINX we need to look at migrating to bare metal deployment which is the successor to the Ingress API.

This ideally needs to be completed by March 2026 when Ingress NGINX will stop receiving updates.

Why? Our balance of stateless in Kubernetes and state on a server is actually incredibly pleasant to work with.

It's a trivial migration and everything else works, we can't just migrate ingress onto a server without migrating every other component of every other application we run.

We tried that project before and it lost steam almost immediately. Are we really going for round 2?
