This repository houses the infrastructure definitions for my homelab. Its primary purpose is to provide a platform to practice on various technologies.

The homelab compute resources are built on a Proxmox hypervisor which hosts non-containerized virtual machines, alongside a dedicated 3-node Talos bare metal Kubernetes cluster. Networking is primarily Unifi network applicances. Non-Compute storage and backups are housed on a Synology NAS.

Proxmox is used as the virtualization platform for non-containerized workloads. Virtual machines and resources in Proxmox are managed through:

• Terraform: Manages Proxmox virtual machine resources and configurations
• Ansible: Handles configuration management tasks for Proxmox hosts and VMs

This area is still evolving and I've working on migrations here. The IAC is not quite up to date. Mostly reference at this point.

The primary Kubernetes cluster ("orion") runs on a 3-node bare metal Talos Linux installation. Talos provides a minimal, immutable Linux distribution designed specifically for Kubernetes.

• Gateway API: Manages ingress traffic using Gateway API
• External Secrets: Integrates with 1Password for secret management
• Cert Manager: Handles certificate automation with Let's Encrypt
• ArgoCD: Provides GitOps-based application deployment
