mk's k8s cluster

This is the GitOps repository for the kubernetes cluster running in my home lab.

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes
• Router capable of BGP load-balancing (I use an EdgeRouter 4)
• CNI (I use cilium)
• Ansible
• Argo CD

The cluster is managed with Ansible and Kubespray.

Structure

apps/

Argo CD app of apps that contains the declarative Application manifests.

Applications

sealed-secrets

This is the application that deploys bitnami's sealed secrets which allows me to commit encrypted secrets directly to my git repo and have them be unsealed (decrypted) directly in the cluster.

cert-manager

This application deploys cert-manager for automatic provisioning of certificates with any ACME providers.

longhorn

This application deploys longhorn for dynamic provisioning of distributed block storage, and it also includes a bunch of neat features like replication and backup.

traefik

This is an application that deploys [Traefik v2][traefik] as an ingress controller.

kustomize/dendrite

This application deploys my Matrix instance at rwx.im.

I'm using the second-generation homeserver Dendrite instead of the more supported synapse because it's smaller and much faster.

kustomize/rwx

This application deploys resources such as cert-manager certificates for rwx.im.
