home-ops

:book:  Overview

This is the repository that hosts the code that I use to manage my home infrastructure.

I use Talos Linux as my base OS and Kubernetes distribution. The boostrap process consists of applying machine configs generated by talhelper. After this the initial applications necessary are bootstrapped by Helmfile and by my script bootstrap-entire-cluster.sh After the kubernetes cluster is provisioned I use Flux to watch this repository, and Renovate to automatically update the dependencies.

:wrench:  Tools

Below are some of the tools I find useful

Tool	Purpose
sops	Simple and flexible tool for managing secrets
pre-commit	Ensure the YAML and shell script in my repo are consistent
kubesearch	Look for how other people manage their Self-hosted software on k8s-at-home community
mkdocs material	Static website generator for all my docs in this repo
Renovate	Automatically finds new releases for the applications and issues corresponding PR’s

:globe_with_meridians:  External Services

Service	Purpose
Cloudflare	DNS Provider and Tunnel Service
Akeyless	External Secret storage - Good alternative to hashicorp vault
TrueNas Scale	External to the cluster but local NAS. For bulk storage needs
