Friendly forkable foundation. \n\n## Design goal: low hardware overhead \n\n* Target is a single x86 VM, 4Gb/RAM, but can be scaled.\n* Emphasis on using as few projects as is practical, with low resource usage. \n* Targets full Fedora (not container distros like CoreOS or Talos), because it's easy to setup, manage snd debug. It's also readily available on many cloud providers. \n* Helm, because of zero overhead post-install, even though it sucks for Day2. \n\n## Design goal: high quality \n\n* Lots of static linting: precommit, yamlfix, etc.\n* Initial deploy via ansible. \n* CI and aggressive testing via GitHub actions.\n* CD via Flux.\n* Use well established mature projects.\n* Well documented via Mkdocs.\n* Uses Semver, with the major version tracking Fedora. \n\n## Design goal: friendly forkable foundation. \n\n* Should be easy to fork, allowing more specialized homelabs to be built on top.\n* Should be friendly to forks, allowing them to merge updates easily, with low risk of conflicts.\n* This project should be a foundation for building more specialised environments - for security, or developers.\n\n## Anti design goals\n\n* Designed for homelabs, not cloud providers, so won't use any specialist CSI or CNI drivers.\n* Prioritize low overhead and simplicity over scale (eg, Flannel over Calico, eg Flux over Argo).\n* Won't support variations - eg not Ubuntu, or Talos, or CoreOS.\n\n## This is a No-Nonsense Open Source project\n\n- All code in this project is Open Source (AGPL), and dependencies must use OSI approved Open Source licenses. \n- No company is paying for development, there is no paid-for support from the developers.\n- No separate core and premium version, no plus/pro version or paid-for extra features.\n- No SaaS service or \"special cloud version\".\n- No \"anonymous data collection\", usage tracking, user tracking, telemetry or email address collection.\n- No requests for reviews in any \"app store\" or feedback surveys.\n- No prompts to \"upgrade to the latest version\".\n- No internet-connection required for any functionality.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjamesread%2Fkubernetes-homelab","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjamesread%2Fkubernetes-homelab","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjamesread%2Fkubernetes-homelab/lists"}
