# :telescope:  Overview

This repo is my home Kubernetes cluster declared using yaml files. The Kubernetes flavor I use is [k3s](https://k3s.io) to keep the size to a minimum.

I use [Flux](https://fluxcd.io) to watch this repo and deploy any changes I push here. See below for hardware, repo structure, and setup.

# :computer:  Hardware

Previously my cluster was made up of 5 Raspberry Pi boards. I've moved to 7 Dell Wyse 5020 (Dx0Q), all of them using the Fedora 36 Server OS.

For storage one of my nodes has a 2TB external hard drive attached and is running a NFS server. Persistent volumes are provisioned using nfs-subdir-provisioner.

# :building_construction:  Repo Details

## Folder Structure

The following are the main folders of the repositories.

- **cluster**: Contains all the yamls for the cluster applications and setup.

- **provision**:

  - **ansible**: Playbooks to install k3s on the nodes and setup the cluster

  - **terraform**: Declarations to setup the dns primary dns record to expose the cluster services.

## :clap:  Thanks

I've used the following repos as inspiration and guidelines for this repo.

- [billimek](https://github.com/billimek/k8s-gitops)

- [onedr0p](https://github.com/onedr0p/k3s-gitops)

- [xUnholy](https://github.com/raspbernetes/k8s-gitops)

A special thanks goes to onedr0p for his [flux cluster template](https://github.com/onedr0p/flux-cluster-template). I recently reorganized my repo to closely follow his template.
