# ⛵ Cluster Template

Welcome to my opinionated and extensible template for deploying a single Kubernetes cluster.

The goal of this project is to make it easier for people interested in using Kubernetes to deploy a cluster at home on bare-metal or VMs.

## ✨ Features

The features included will depend on the type of configuration you want to use. There are currently **3 different types** of **configurations** available with this template.

1. "**Bare cluster**" - a distrubition of your choosing ([k0s](https://github.com/k0sproject/k0s), [k3s](https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s) or [Talos](https://github.com/siderolabs/talos)) that comes with only [kube-vip](https://github.com/kube-vip/kube-vip) _(k0s/k3s)_ and [Cilium](https://github.com/cilium/cilium) installed with the cluster.

   - **Apps included:** None

2. "**Flux cluster**" - Add-on to the "**Bare cluster**" to deploy an opinionated implementation of [Flux](https://github.com/fluxcd/flux2) using [GitHub](https://github.com/) as GitOps provider and [sops](https://github.com/getsops/sops) to manage secrets.

   - **Apps included:** [flux](https://github.com/fluxcd/flux2), [cert-manager](https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager), [spegel](https://github.com/XenitAB/spegel), [reloader](https://github.com/stakater/Reloader) and [openebs](https://github.com/openebs/openebs) in [Local PV / Hostpath](https://openebs.io/docs/concepts/localpv) mode.

3. "**Flux cluster with Cloudflare**" - Add-on to the "**Flux cluster**" that provides DNS and SSL with [Cloudflare](https://www.cloudflare.com/). [Cloudflare Tunnel](https://www.cloudflare.com/products/tunnel/) is also included to provide external access to certain applications deployed in your cluster.

   - **Apps included:** [ingress-nginx](https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/), [external-dns](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/external-dns) and [cloudflared](https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared).

**Other features include:**

- A [Renovate](https://www.mend.io/renovate)-ready repository with pull request diffs provided by [flux-local](https://github.com/allenporter/flux-local)
- Integrated [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/features/actions) with helpful workflows.


## 💻 Machine Preparation

Hopefully some of this peeked your interests!  If you are marching forward, now is a good time to choose whether you will deploy a Kubernetes cluster with [k0s](https://github.com/k0sproject/k0s), [k3s](https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s) or [Talos](https://github.com/siderolabs/talos).

### System requirements

> [!NOTE]
> 1. The included behaviour of Talos, k3s or k0s is that all nodes are able to run workloads, **including** the controller nodes. **Worker nodes** are therefore **optional**.
> 2. Do you have 3 or more nodes? It is highly recommended to make 3 of them controller nodes for a highly available control plane.
> 3. Running the cluster on Proxmox VE? My thoughts and recommendations about that are documented [here](https://onedr0p.github.io/home-ops/notes/proxmox-considerations.html).

| Role    | Cores    | Memory        | System Disk               |
|---------|----------|---------------|---------------------------|
| Control | 4 _(6*)_ | 8GB _(24GB*)_ | 100GB _(500GB*)_ SSD/NVMe |
| Worker  | 4 _(6*)_ | 8GB _(24GB*)_ | 100GB _(500GB*)_ SSD/NVMe |
| _\* recommended_ |

### Talos

1. Download the latest stable release of Talos from their [GitHub releases](https://github.com/siderolabs/talos/releases). You will want to grab either `metal-amd64.iso` or `metal-rpi_generic-arm64.raw.xz` depending on your system.

2. Take note of the OS drive serial numbers you will need them later on.

3. Flash the iso or raw file to a USB drive and boot to Talos on your nodes with it.

4. Continue on to 🚀 [**Getting Started**](#-getting-started)

### k3s or k0s (AMD64)

1. Download the latest stable release of Debian from [here](https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-dvd), then follow [this guide](https://www.linuxtechi.com/how-to-install-debian-12-step-by-step) to get it installed. Deviations from the guide:

    ```txt
    Choose "Guided - use entire disk"
    Choose "All files in one partition"
    Delete Swap partition
    Uncheck all Debian desktop environment options
    ```

2. [Post install] Remove CD/DVD as apt source

    ```sh
    su -
    sed -i '/deb cdrom/d' /etc/apt/sources.list
    apt update
    exit
    ```

3. [Post install] Enable sudo for your non-root user

    ```sh
    su -
    apt update
    apt install -y sudo
    usermod -aG sudo ${username}
    echo "${username} ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL" | tee /etc/sudoers.d/${username}
    exit
    newgrp sudo
    sudo apt update
    ```

4. [Post install] Add SSH keys (or use `ssh-copy-id` on the client that is connecting)

    📍 _First make sure your ssh keys are up-to-date and added to your github account as [instructed](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/adding-a-new-ssh-key-to-your-github-account)._

    ```sh
    mkdir -m 700 ~/.ssh
    sudo apt install -y curl
    curl https://github.com/${github_username}.keys > ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
    chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
    ```

### k3s or k0s (RasPi4)

<details>
<summary><i>Click <b>here</b> to read about using a RasPi4</i></summary>


> [!IMPORTANT]
> 1. It is recommended to have an 8GB RasPi model. Most important is to **boot from an external SSD/NVMe** rather than an SD card. This is [supported natively](https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/raspberry-pi.html), however if you have an early model you may need to [update the bootloader](https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/boot-raspberry-pi-4-usb) first.
> 2. Check the [power requirements](https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/raspberry-pi.html#power-supply) if using a PoE Hat and a SSD/NVMe dongle.

1. Download the latest stable release of Debian from [here](https://raspi.debian.net/tested-images). _**Do not** use Raspbian or DietPi or any other flavor Linux OS._

2. Flash the image onto an SSD/NVMe drive.

3. Re-mount the drive to your workstation and then do the following (per the [official documentation](https://raspi.debian.net/defaults-and-settings)):

    ```txt
    Open 'sysconf.txt' in a text editor and save it upon updating the information below
      - Change 'root_authorized_key' to your desired public SSH key
      - Change 'root_pw' to your desired root password
      - Change 'hostname' to your desired hostname
    ```

4. Connect SSD/NVMe drive to the Raspberry Pi 4 and power it on.

5. [Post install] SSH into the device with the `root` user and then create a normal user account with `adduser ${username}`

6. [Post install] Follow steps 3 and 4 from [k3s or k0s (AMD64)](##k3s-or-k0s-amd64).

7. [Post install] Install `python3` which is needed by Ansible.

    ```sh
    sudo apt install -y python3
    ```

8. Continue on to 🚀 [**Getting Started**](#-getting-started)

</details>

## 🚀 Getting Started

Once you have installed Talos or Debian on your nodes, there are six stages to getting a Flux-managed cluster up and runnning.

> [!NOTE]
> For all stages below the commands **MUST** be ran on your personal workstation within your repository directory

### 🎉 Stage 1: Create a Git repository

1. Create a new **public** repository by clicking the big green "Use this template" button at the top of this page.

2. Clone **your new repo** to you local workstation and `cd` into it.

3. Continue on to 🌱 [**Stage 2**](#-stage-2-setup-your-local-workstation-environment)

### 🌱 Stage 2: Setup your local workstation

You have two different options for setting up your local workstation.

- First option is using a `devcontainer` which requires you to have Docker and VSCode installed. This method is the fastest to get going because all the required CLI tools are provided for you in my [devcontainer](https://github.com/onedr0p/cluster-template/pkgs/container/cluster-template%2Fdevcontainer) image.
- The second option is setting up the CLI tools directly on your workstation.

#### Devcontainer method

1. Start Docker and open your repository in VSCode. There will be a pop-up asking you to use the `devcontainer`, click the button to start using it.

2. Continue on to 🔧 [**Stage 3**](#-stage-3-bootstrap-configuration)

#### Non-devcontainer method

1. Install the most recent version of [task](https://taskfile.dev/), see the [installation docs](https://taskfile.dev/installation/) for other supported platforms.

    ```sh
    # Homebrew
    brew install go-task
    # or, Arch
    pacman -S --noconfirm go-task && ln -sf /usr/bin/go-task /usr/local/bin/task
    ```

2. Install the most recent version of [direnv](https://direnv.net/), see the [installation docs](https://direnv.net/docs/installation.html) for other supported platforms.

    ```sh
    # Homebrew
    brew install direnv
    # or, Arch
    pacman -S --noconfirm direnv
    ```

    📍 _After `direnv` is installed be sure to **[hook it into your preferred shell](https://direnv.net/docs/hook.html)** and then run `task workstation:direnv`_

3. Install the additional **required** CLI tools

   📍 _**Not using Homebrew or ArchLinux?** Try using the generic Linux task below, if that fails check out the [Brewfile](.taskfiles/Workstation/Brewfile)/[Archfile](.taskfiles/Workstation/Archfile) for what CLI tools needed and install them._

    ```sh
    # Homebrew
    task workstation:brew
    # or, Arch with yay/paru
    task workstation:arch
    # or, Generic Linux (YMMV, this pulls binaires in to ./bin)
    task workstation:generic-linux
    ```

4. Setup a Python virual environment by running the following task command.

    📍 _This commands requires Python 3.11+ to be installed._

    ```sh
    task workstation:venv
    ```

5. Continue on to 🔧 [**Stage 3**](#-stage-3-bootstrap-configuration)

### 🔧 Stage 3: Bootstrap configuration

> [!NOTE]
> The [config.sample.yaml](./config.sample.yaml) file contain necessary information that is **vital** to the bootstrap process.

1. Generate the `config.yaml` from the [config.sample.yaml](./config.sample.yaml) configuration file.

    ```sh
    task init
    ```

#### 🔧 Stage 3: Flux

📍 _Using [SOPS](https://github.com/getsops/sops) with [Age](https://github.com/FiloSottile/age) allows us to encrypt secrets and use them with Flux._

1. Create a Age private / public key (this file is gitignored)

    ```sh
    task sops:age-keygen
    ```

2. Fill out the appropriate vars in `config.yaml`

#### Stage 3: Flux with Cloudflare DNS

> [!NOTE]
> To use `cert-manager` with the Cloudflare DNS challenge you will need to create a API Token.

1. Head over to Cloudflare and create a API Token by going [here](https://dash.cloudflare.com/profile/api-tokens).
2. Under the `API Tokens` section click the blue `Create Token` button.
3. Click the blue `Use template` button for the `Edit zone DNS` template.
4. Name your token something like `home-kubernetes`
5. Under `Permissions`, click `+ Add More` and add each permission below:

   ```text
   Zone - DNS - Edit
   Account - Cloudflare Tunnel - Read
   ```

6. Limit the permissions to a specific account and zone resources.
7. Fill out the appropriate vars in `config.yaml`

#### Stage 3: Flux with Cloudflare Tunnel

> [!NOTE]
> To expose services to the internet you will need to create a [Cloudflare Tunnel](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-apps/).


1. Authenticate cloudflared to your domain

    ```sh
    cloudflared tunnel login
    ```

2. Create the tunnel

    ```sh
    cloudflared tunnel create k8s
    ```

3. In the `~/.cloudflared` directory there will be a json file with details you need. Ignore the `cert.pem` file.

4. Fill out the appropriate vars in `config.yaml`

#### Stage 3: Finishing up

1. Complete filling out the rest of the `config.yaml` configuration file.

2. Once done run the following command which will verify and generate all the files needed to continue.

    ```sh
    task configure
    ```

3. Push you changes to git

   📍 **Verify** all the `*.sops.yaml` and `*.sops.yaml` files under `./kubernetes` directory is **encrypted** with SOPS

    ```sh
    git add -A
    git commit -m "Initial commit :rocket:"
    git push
    ```

4.  Continue on to ⚡ [**Stage 4**](#-stage-4-prepare-your-nodes-for-kubernetes)

### ⚡ Stage 4: Prepare your nodes for Kubernetes

> [!IMPORTANT]
> For **Talos** or **k0s** skip ahead to ⛵ [**Stage 5**](#-stage-5-install-kubernetes)

#### k3s

📍 _Here we will be running an Ansible playbook to prepare your nodes for running a Kubernetes cluster._

1. Ensure you are able to SSH into your nodes from your workstation using a private SSH key **without a passphrase** (for example using a SSH agent). This lets Ansible interact with your nodes.

3. Install the Ansible dependencies

    ```sh
    task ansible:deps
    ```

4. Verify Ansible can view your config

    ```sh
    task ansible:list
    ```

5. Verify Ansible can ping your nodes

    ```sh
    task ansible:ping
    ```

6. Run the Ansible prepare playbook (nodes wil reboot when done)

    ```sh
    task ansible:run playbook=cluster-prepare
    ```

7. Continue on to ⛵ [**Stage 5**](#-stage-5-install-kubernetes)

### ⛵ Stage 5: Install Kubernetes

#### Talos

1. Create Talos Secrets

    ```sh
    task talos:gensecret
    task talos:genconfig
    ```

2. Apply Talos Config

    ```sh
    task talos:apply
    ```

3. Boostrap Talos and get kubeconfig

    ```sh
    task talos:bootstrap
    task talos:kubeconfig node=$master_node_ip_address
    ```

4. Install Cilium and kubelet-csr-approver into the cluster

    ```sh
    task talos:apply-extras
    ```

#### k3s or k0s

1. Install Kubernetes depending on the distribution you chose

    ```sh
    # Install k3s
    task ansible:run playbook=cluster-installation
    # or, install k0s
    task k0s:apply
    ```

#### Cluster validation

1. The `kubeconfig` for interacting with your cluster should have been created in the root of your repository.

2. Verify the nodes are online

    📍 _If this command **fails** you likely haven't configured `direnv` as mentioned previously in the guide._

    ```sh
    kubectl get nodes -o wide
    # NAME           STATUS   ROLES                       AGE     VERSION
    # k8s-0          Ready    control-plane,etcd,master   1h      v1.29.1
    # k8s-1          Ready    worker                      1h      v1.29.1
    ```

3. Continue on to 🔹 [**Stage 6**](#-stage-6-install-flux-in-your-cluster)

### 🔹 Stage 6: Install Flux in your cluster

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Skip this stage if you have **disabled** Flux in the `config.yaml`

1. Verify Flux can be installed

    ```sh
    flux check --pre
    # ► checking prerequisites
    # ✔ kubectl 1.27.3 >=1.18.0-0
    # ✔ Kubernetes 1.27.3+k3s1 >=1.16.0-0
    # ✔ prerequisites checks passed
    ```

2. Install Flux and sync the cluster to the Git repository

    ```sh
    task flux:bootstrap
    # namespace/flux-system configured
    # customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/alerts.notification.toolkit.fluxcd.io created
    # ...
    ```

3. Verify Flux components are running in the cluster

    ```sh
    kubectl -n flux-system get pods -o wide
    # NAME                                       READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
    # helm-controller-5bbd94c75-89sb4            1/1     Running   0          1h
    # kustomize-controller-7b67b6b77d-nqc67      1/1     Running   0          1h
    # notification-controller-7c46575844-k4bvr   1/1     Running   0          1h
    # source-controller-7d6875bcb4-zqw9f         1/1     Running   0          1h
    ```

### 🎤 Flux w/ Cloudflare verification Steps

_Mic check, 1, 2_ - In a few moments applications should be lighting up like Christmas in July 🎄

1. Output all the common resources in your cluster.

    📍 _Feel free to use the provided [kubernetes tasks](.taskfiles/KubernetesTasks.yaml) for validation of cluster resources or continue to get familiar with the `kubectl` and `flux` CLI tools._

    ```sh
    task kubernetes:resources
    ```

2. ⚠️ It might take `cert-manager` awhile to generate certificates, this is normal so be patient.

3. 🏆 **Congratulations** if all goes smooth you will have a Kubernetes cluster managed by Flux and your Git repository is driving the state of your cluster.

4. 🧠 Now it's time to pause and go get some motel motor oil ☕ and admire you made it this far!

## 📣 Flux w/ Cloudflare post installation

#### 🌐 Public DNS

The `external-dns` application created in the `networking` namespace will handle creating public DNS records. By default, `echo-server-external` and the `flux-webhook` are the only subdomains reachable from the public internet. In order to make additional applications public you must set set the correct ingress class name and ingress annotations like in the HelmRelease for `echo-server`.

#### 🏠 Home DNS

`k8s_gateway` will provide DNS resolution to external Kubernetes resources (i.e. points of entry to the cluster) from any device that uses your home DNS server. For this to work, your home DNS server must be configured to forward DNS queries for `${bootstrap_cloudflare_domain}` to `${bootstrap_k8s_gateway_addr}` instead of the upstream DNS server(s) it normally uses. This is a form of **split DNS** (aka split-horizon DNS / conditional forwarding).

> [!TIP]
> Below is how to configure a Pi-hole for split DNS. Other platforms should be similar.
> 1. Apply this file on the Pihole server while substituting the variables
> ```sh
> # /etc/dnsmasq.d/99-k8s-gateway-forward.conf
> server=/${bootstrap_cloudflare_domain}/${bootstrap_k8s_gateway_addr}
> ```
> 2. Restart dnsmasq on the server.
> 3. Query an internal-only subdomain from your workstation (any `internal` class ingresses): `dig @${home-dns-server-ip} echo-server-internal.${bootstrap_cloudflare_domain}`. It should resolve to `${bootstrap_internal_ingress_addr}`.

If you're having trouble with DNS be sure to check out these two GitHub discussions: [Internal DNS](https://github.com/onedr0p/cluster-template/discussions/719) and [Pod DNS resolution broken](https://github.com/onedr0p/cluster-template/discussions/635).

... Nothing working? That is expected, this is DNS after all!

#### 📜 Certificates

By default this template will deploy a wildcard certificate using the Let's Encrypt **staging environment**, which prevents you from getting rate-limited by the Let's Encrypt production servers if your cluster doesn't deploy properly (for example due to a misconfiguration). Once you are sure you will keep the cluster up for more than a few hours be sure to switch to the production servers as outlined in `config.yaml`.

📍 _You will need a production certificate to reach internet-exposed applications through `cloudflared`._

#### 🪝 Github Webhook

By default Flux will periodically check your git repository for changes. In order to have Flux reconcile on `git push` you must configure Github to send `push` events to Flux.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> This will only work after you have switched over certificates to the Let's Encrypt Production servers.

1. Obtain the webhook path

    📍 _Hook id and path should look like `/hook/12ebd1e363c641dc3c2e430ecf3cee2b3c7a5ac9e1234506f6f5f3ce1230e123`_

    ```sh
    kubectl -n flux-system get receiver github-receiver -o jsonpath='{.status.webhookPath}'
    ```

2. Piece together the full URL with the webhook path appended

    ```text
    https://flux-webhook.${bootstrap_cloudflare_domain}/hook/12ebd1e363c641dc3c2e430ecf3cee2b3c7a5ac9e1234506f6f5f3ce1230e123
    ```

3. Navigate to the settings of your repository on Github, under "Settings/Webhooks" press the "Add webhook" button. Fill in the webhook url and your `bootstrap_flux_github_webhook_token` secret and save.

## 💥 Nuke

There might be a situation where you want to destroy your Kubernetes cluster. This will completely clean the OS of all traces of the Kubernetes distribution you chose and then reboot the nodes.

```sh
# Nuke k3s
task ansible:run playbook=cluster-nuke
# or, Nuke k0s
task k0s:reset
```

## 🤖 Renovate

[Renovate](https://www.mend.io/renovate) is a tool that automates dependency management. It is designed to scan your repository around the clock and open PRs for out-of-date dependencies it finds. Common dependencies it can discover are Helm charts, container images, GitHub Actions, Ansible roles... even Flux itself! Merging a PR will cause Flux to apply the update to your cluster.

To enable Renovate, click the 'Configure' button over at their [Github app page](https://github.com/apps/renovate) and select your repository. Renovate creates a "Dependency Dashboard" as an issue in your repository, giving an overview of the status of all updates. The dashboard has interactive checkboxes that let you do things like advance scheduling or reattempt update PRs you closed without merging.

The base Renovate configuration in your repository can be viewed at [.github/renovate.json5](./.github/renovate.json5). By default it is scheduled to be active with PRs every weekend, but you can [change the schedule to anything you want](https://docs.renovatebot.com/presets-schedule), or remove it if you want Renovate to open PRs right away.

## 🐛 Debugging

Below is a general guide on trying to debug an issue with an resource or application. For example, if a workload/resource is not showing up or a pod has started but in a `CrashLoopBackOff` or `Pending` state.

1. Start by checking all Flux Kustomizations & Git Repository & OCI Repository and verify they are healthy.

    ```sh
    flux get sources oci -A
    flux get sources git -A
    flux get ks -A
    ```

2. Then check all the Flux Helm Releases and verify they are healthy.

    ```sh
    flux get hr -A
    ```

3. Then check the if the pod is present.

    ```sh
    kubectl -n <namespace> get pods -o wide
    ```

4. Then check the logs of the pod if its there.

    ```sh
    kubectl -n <namespace> logs <pod-name> -f
    # or
    stern -n <namespace> <fuzzy-name>
    ```

5. If a resource exists try to describe it to see what problems it might have.

    ```sh
    kubectl -n <namespace> describe <resource> <name>
    ```

6. Check the namespace events

    ```sh
    kubectl -n <namespace> get events --sort-by='.metadata.creationTimestamp'
    ```

Resolving problems that you have could take some tweaking of your YAML manifests in order to get things working, other times it could be a external factor like permissions on NFS. If you are unable to figure out your problem see the help section below.

## 👉 Help

- Make a post in this repository's Github [Discussions](https://github.com/onedr0p/cluster-template/discussions).
- Start a thread in the `#support` or `#cluster-template` channels in the [Home Operations](https://discord.gg/home-operations) Discord server.

## ❔ What's next

The cluster is your oyster (or something like that). Below are some optional considerations you might want to review.

#### Ship it

To browse or get ideas on applications people are running, community member [@whazor](https://github.com/whazor) created [Kubesearch](https://kubesearch.dev) as a creative way to search Flux HelmReleases across Github and Gitlab.

#### Storage

The included CSI (openebs in local-hostpath mode) is a great start for storage but soon you might find you need more features like replicated block storage, or to connect to a NFS/SMB/iSCSI server. If you need any of those features be sure to check out the projects like [rook-ceph](https://github.com/rook/rook), [longhorn](https://github.com/longhorn/longhorn), [openebs](https://github.com/openebs/openebs), [democratic-csi](https://github.com/democratic-csi/democratic-csi), [csi-driver-nfs](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-driver-nfs),
and [synology-csi](https://github.com/SynologyOpenSource/synology-csi).

#### Authenticate Flux over SSH

<details>
<summary><i>Click <b>here</b> to read guide on adding Flux SSH authentication</i></summary>

Authenticating Flux to your git repository has a couple benefits like using a private git repository and/or using the Flux [Image Automation Controllers](https://fluxcd.io/docs/components/image/).

By default this template only works on a public Github repository, it is advised to keep your repository public.

The benefits of a public repository include:

- Debugging or asking for help, you can provide a link to a resource you are having issues with.
- Adding a topic to your repository of `kubesearch` to be included in the [Kubesearch](https://kubesearch.dev) results. This search helps people discover different configurations of Helm charts across others Flux based repositories.

1. Generate new SSH key:

    ```sh
    ssh-keygen -t ecdsa -b 521 -C "github-deploy-key" -f ./kubernetes/bootstrap/github-deploy.key -q -P ""
    ```

2. Paste public key in the deploy keys section of your repository settings
3. Create sops secret in `./kubernetes/bootstrap/github-deploy-key.sops.yaml` with the contents of:

   ```yaml
   apiVersion: v1
   kind: Secret
   metadata:
     name: github-deploy-key
     namespace: flux-system
   stringData:
     # 3a. Contents of github-deploy-key
     identity: |

   ```

4. Encrypt secret:

    ```sh
    sops --encrypt --in-place ./kubernetes/bootstrap/github-deploy-key.sops.yaml
    ```

5. Apply secret to cluster:

    ```sh
    sops --decrypt ./kubernetes/bootstrap/github-deploy-key.sops.yaml | kubectl apply -f -
    ```

6. Update `./kubernetes/flux/config/cluster.yaml`:

    ```yaml
    apiVersion: source.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1beta2
    kind: GitRepository
    metadata:
      name: home-kubernetes
      namespace: flux-system
    spec:
      interval: 10m
      # 6a: Change this to your user and repo names
      url: ssh://git@github.com/$user/$repo
      ref:
        branch: main
      secretRef:
        name: github-deploy-key
    ```

7. Commit and push changes
8. Force flux to reconcile your changes

    ```sh
    flux reconcile -n flux-system kustomization cluster --with-source
    ```

9. Verify git repository is now using SSH:

    ```sh
    flux get sources git -A
    ```

10. Optionally set your repository to Private in your repository settings.
