### Kubernetes cluster
... managed using Talos, Flux and Renovate
---
## 📖 Overview
This repository houses the code responsible for managing my home infrastructure.
The setup is based on Talos OS. I used [Talhelper](https://budimanjojo.github.io/talhelper/latest/) to generate the initial configs. Following the cluster deployment, Flux continuously monitors this repository for changes, and Renovate is used to handle automated dependency updates.

### NAS
The backbone of my home storage infrastructure is built on a Raspberry Pi 4 running [OpenMediaVault](https://www.openmediavault.org/), a dedicated network-attached storage solution. The system utilizes two SSDs (2TB + 1TB) configured to store:
- Media content (books, audiobooks)
- Longhorn volume backups
- System configurations
- Docker Containers Data
The NAS hosts several essential containers:
