h3m

It's like h2m, but better

Explore the docs »

This project is basically my homelab, which I'm going to use for a while (I think so... I hope so).

The first iteration was called h2m ("hiim", "host to machine", etc), since this is a newer version, I just added 1. The name doesn't make any sense.

In order to be as efficient (and fancy) as possible, I decided to switch from k3s to Talos Linux, and replaced the bulky deployment using Ansible with OpenTofu followed by FluxCD. GitOps is cool.

• Talos Linux
• Proxmox
• OpenTofu
• Flux
• bpg/terraform-proxmox-provider
• integrations/terraform-provider-github
• fluxcd/terraform-provider-flux
• siderolabs/terraform-provider-talos

This is just TL;DR explanation on how to install the project. For more information visit docs.

1. Install OpenTofu (recommended) or Terraform.

2. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/hiimluck3r/h3m

   Or if you're so brave to use unstable dev build:

   git clone -b dev https://github.com/hiimluck3r/h3m

   Then initialize OpenTofu/Terraform with:

   tofu init

   or

   terraform init

1. Get a GitHub PAT. You can find a guide here.

2. Create terraform.tfvars:

   cp terraform.tfvars.example terraform.tfvars

3. Enter your information into .tfvars file:

   proxmox_user = "root@pam"
   proxmox_password = "12345678"
   proxmox_endpoint = "https://your_proxmox_endpoint:8006/"
   
   github_owner = "YOURNAME"
   github_pat = "github_pat_token"
   github_repository = {
     name = "h3m-flux"
     description = "Homelab built with Talos on Proxmox and managed with Flux"
     visibility = "private"
   }
   
   cluster_autostart = true
   cluster_endpoint = "192.168.0.10"
   cluster_name = "talos-proxmox-cluster"
   
   node_name = "pve"
   default_bridge = "vmbr0"
   cidr = "192.168.0.20/29" #may be used in initialization of the vm instead of dhcp
   gateway = "192.168.0.1" #may be used in initialization of the vm instead of dhcp
   
   image_storage = "local"
   image_type = "iso" #please use images with qemu, otherwise you'll have to manually cleanup this badness and collect ip addresses
   talos_image_url = "https://factory.talos.dev/image/ce4c980550dd2ab1b17bbf2b08801c7eb86318eafe8f279833297925d67c7515/v1.7.0/nocloud-amd64.iso"
   talos_flavor = "factory.talos.dev/installer/ce4c980550dd2ab1b17bbf2b08801c7eb86318eafe8f279833297925d67c7515:v1.7.0"
   
   disk_config = {
     datastore_id = "local-zfs"
     interface = "scsi0"
     iothread = false
     discard = "on"
   }
   
   master_config = {
     count = 3
     cpus = 2
     sockets = 1
     memory = 4096
     disk_size = 20
   }
   
   worker_config = {
     count = 2
     cpus = 2
     sockets = 1
     memory = 4096
     disk_size = 20
   }

4. Plan and apply:

   tofu plan
   tofy apply

Usually the cluster takes about 10 minutes to load. You can get talosconfig and kubeconfig in the "configs/" directory in the root of the project.

• Provide understandable documentation
• Provide more examples for cluster-examples
• Provide an external repository with a list of app and deployments that I use
