This is a mono repository for my home infrastructure and Kubernetes cluster. I try to adhere to Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and GitOps practices using tools like Ansible, Terraform, Kubernetes, ArgoCD, Renovate and GitHub Actions.

My Kubernetes cluster is deployed with Talos and MetalLB. This is a high availability cluster, running inside Proxmox.

ArgoCD watches the cluster in my kubernetes directory (see structure below) and makes the changes to my cluster based on the state of my Git repository. The way ArgoCD works for me here is it will search through kubernetes/registry.... Then deploy apps using the apps of apps pattern.

This Git repository contains the following directories under kubernetes. I have the apps directory that stores all the application manifests for deployed apps. The registry directory is where I store all my Application type manifests for deployed apps. I also have a cluster directory for all cluster wide manifests.

All Helm deployment values.yaml are contained within the Application under the helm.valuesObject

📁 kubernetes
├── 📁 apps                                    # application directory
│   ├── 📁 application                         # application manifests
│   │   ├── cluster-role-binding.yaml
│   │   ├── cluster-role.yaml
│   │   └── service.yaml
├── argo-root.yaml
├── 📁 cluster                                 # cluster wide manifests
└── 📁 registry                                # application directory which stores application deployment manifests
    ├── cloudnativepg-cluster.yaml
    └── 📁 helm                                # helm directory which stores helm applications
        └── trino-helm.yaml

My argo-root.yaml argocd application checks for changes in ./kubernetes/registry for new Application manifests. That manifest then checks in the apps directory, then deploys the app like the below:

In my cluster there are two ExternalDNS instances deployed. One is deployed with the ExternalDNS webhook provider for Adguard Home which syncs DNS records to my Adgaurd instance.

Thanks to all the people who donate their time to the Home Operations Discord community. Be sure to check out kubesearch.dev for ideas on how to deploy applications or get ideas on what you may deploy.
