# Homelab Kubernetes Pipeline
|
|
|
|
This repo bootstraps a hybrid kubeadm cluster and then hands app delivery to
|
|
Argo CD.
|
|
|
|
## Flow
|
|
|
|
1. `bootstrap/cluster`
|
|
- creates the kubeadm control plane on the Debian amd64 node
|
|
- joins worker nodes such as Raspberry Pi arm64 nodes
|
|
- configures Calico-compatible pod CIDR
|
|
- configures containerd to pull from the in-cluster NodePort registry
|
|
- creates retained host directories under `/var/openebs/local`
|
|
|
|
2. `bootstrap/platform`
|
|
- installs a minimal Calico deployment through the Tigera operator
|
|
- installs OpenEBS
|
|
- creates `openebs-hostpath-retain`
|
|
- installs Argo CD
|
|
- registers the private GitOps repo without storing the SSH private key in
|
|
Terraform state
|
|
|
|
3. `bootstrap/apps`
|
|
- registers Argo CD Applications from the `applications` map
|
|
- default apps are `container-registry`, `gitea`, and
|
|
`website-production`
|
|
|
|
## Adding Nodes
|
|
|
|
Add entries to `bootstrap/cluster/variables.tf` or a `.tfvars` file:
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
worker_nodes = {
|
|
raspberrypi = {
|
|
host = "192.168.100.89"
|
|
user = "jv"
|
|
node_name = "raspberry"
|
|
ssh_key_path = "/home/jv/.ssh/id_ed25519"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Stateful apps currently pin retained local PVs to the `debian` node. Move or
|
|
duplicate those PV manifests when you want storage on another node.
|
|
|
|
For `./lab.sh nuke`, set `WORKER_SSH_TARGETS` to a space-separated list of
|
|
remote SSH targets when more worker nodes exist. Set it to an empty string for a
|
|
single-node rebuild.
|
|
|
|
## Adding Platform Tools
|
|
|
|
Add Helm releases through `bootstrap/platform`'s `extra_helm_releases` map.
|
|
|
|
## Adding Apps
|
|
|
|
Add Kubernetes manifests under `apps/<name>` and register them in
|
|
`bootstrap/apps`'s `applications` map. Argo CD will own sync, pruning, and
|
|
self-healing for the app.
|
|
|
|
## Storage
|
|
|
|
OpenEBS provides the platform storage provisioner. Stateful homelab apps use
|
|
retained local PV paths such as `/var/openebs/local/gitea` and
|
|
`/var/openebs/local/registry`; these paths are intentionally outside kubeadm
|
|
reset paths so data can survive cluster destroy/create cycles. Those critical
|
|
volumes are declared explicitly as retained local PVs so a rebuilt cluster binds
|
|
back to the same host paths instead of creating fresh directories.
|
|
|
|
Keep the `.terraform.lock.hcl` files committed. They pin provider selections and
|
|
make bootstrap behavior reproducible across nodes and rebuilds.
