# Template for deploying Kubernetes (k3s) backed by Flux
# Template for deploying a Kubernetes cluster backed by Flux
This is a highly opinionated template for deploying a single Kubernetes ([k3s](https://k3s.io)) cluster with [Ansible](https://www.ansible.com) and managing applications with [Flux](https://toolkit.fluxcd.io/). Upon completion you will be able to expose web applications you choose to the internet with [Cloudflare Tunnel](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-apps/).
There are some limitations or nuances to bring up before you would want to take a dive in trying this out:
1. Bring a positive attitude and be ready to learn and fail a lot. The more you fail, the more you can learn from.
2. This was designed to run in your home network on bare metal machines or VMs **NOT** in the cloud.
3. You **MUST** have a domain you can manage on Cloudflare.
4. Secrets will be commited to your Git repository **AND** they will be encrypted by SOPS.
5. By default your domain name will **NOT** be visible to the public.
6. To reach internal-only apps you **MUST** have a DNS server that supports split DNS (Pi-Hole, Blocky, Dnsmasq, Unbound, etc...) deployed somewhere outside the cluster **ON** your home network.
7. In order for this all to work you have to use nodes that have access to the internet. This is not geared towards air-gapped environments.
With that out of the way please continue on if you are still interested...

## 📝 Prerequisites
**Note:** _This template has not been tested on cloud providers like AWS EC2, Hetzner, Scaleway etc... Those cloud offerings probably have a better way of provsioning a Kubernetes cluster and it's advisable to use those instead of the Ansible playbooks included here. This repository can still be tweaked for the GitOps/Flux portion if there's a cluster working in one those environments._

8. Only **amd64** and/or **arm64** nodes are supported.
First and foremost some experience in debugging/troubleshooting problems **and a positive attitude is required** :)
