HomeLab

This setup is currently tested with K3s and all its defaults, including the storage classes.

StorageClasses

However, for better data security, I would recommend to delete the default storage class K3s introduces:

kubectl delete storageclass local-path

The repository will provide alternative StorageClasses:

name	reclaim policy
local-path-persistent	Retain
local-path-volatile	Delete

Flux Bootstrap

Once ready, deploy Flux with this repository:

flux bootstrap git \
  --url=ssh://git@github.com/SakulFlee/HomeLab.git \
  --branch=main \
  --private-key-file ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 \
  --path=clusters/k0s-homelab

This will bootstrap Flux and setup this repository as the flux-source for syncronization. When prompted to give access to the repository, type y.

The private key mentioned here isn't strictly required as the repository itself is public. However, the secret repository (... containing all the secrets, credentials, auth info, etc. ...) is private and requires access. You can also use a GitHub app, deploy key or other means, but since I am deploying from my work machine, which also uses this SSH key to access GitHub, I can just pass this on.

Flux Reconciliation

After a change has been pushed into this repository, FluxCD will automatically detect changes about every 10 minutes. If you want to force a reconciliation early, run the following command:

flux reconcile kustomization flux-system --with-source

flux-system is the main file handling this whole repository. If you just want to update a specific kustomization, simply exchange flux-system with the flux kustomization name of your choice!
