Home Ops

📖 Overview

This is a mono repository for my home infrastructure and Kubernetes cluster. I try to adhere to Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and GitOps practices using tools like Ansible, Terraform, Kubernetes, Flux, Renovate and GitHub Actions. Secrets are protected with modern Age encryption.

💰 Every tool used is open source or used freely.

📁 Directories

• cluster: directory contains my Kubernetes configuration and artifacts, managed by Flux.
• provision: directory contains my Ansible playbooks and roles for provisioning my home infrastructure.

⛵ Kubernetes

I run a fully conformant Kubernetes cluster at home with K3S, provisioned overtop bare-metal Ubuntu 22.04 using Ansible. This is a semi hyperconverged cluster (HCI), with workloads and block storage sharing the same available resources from a centralized RAID 5 storage.

🏁 Provisioning

Currently, I automate the provisioning of the following systems at home:

• My Ubuntu workstation
• My MacOS workstation
• My K3S Kubernetes cluster

🌐 Dynamic DNS

Over WAN, I have forwarded ports 80 and 443 from my router. I use Cloudflare as a proxy to hide my home WAN IP. I use cddns as my Dynamic DNS.

🤖 GitOps

• Flux watches my cluster folder and makes the changes to my cluster automatically, based on the YAML manifests.
• Renovate watches the repository for dependency updates, and automatically generates PRs for them. Automerging is allowed.
• GitHub Actions validates and tests push and merge requests for conflicts.
