homeops

Definitions for my main Kubernetes cluster at home.

Layout

• flux/clusters/pinfra — the cluster entrypoint. The homeops Kustomization reconciles this path and points at the other Kustomizations (apps, infra, sealed-secrets, helm-repos, misc).
• flux/apps/pinfra — applications, managed by the apps Kustomization (namespace homeops). Its source is the homeops GitRepository, which tracks the main branch of this repo on GitHub.
• flux/apps/base — base manifests overlaid by the per-cluster app definitions.

Forcing a reconcile

Flux polls the homeops GitRepository every minute and re-applies every 10 minutes. To pick up a change immediately after pushing it to main, reconcile the relevant Kustomization with its source:

# Apps (teslamate and everything else under flux/apps/pinfra)
flux reconcile kustomization apps -n homeops --with-source

--with-source first re-pulls the homeops GitRepository from GitHub, then re-applies the apps Kustomization. The change must already be pushed to main — Flux pulls from GitHub, not from your local working tree.

Make sure the right cluster is selected first (e.g. export KUBECONFIG=...).

Development Environment

This project needs the flux and kubectl CLIs. If they are not installed, run them on demand via nixomatic:

Using Nix

nix \
    --extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' \
    develop 'https://nixomatic.com/?p=fluxcd,kubectl' \
      --accept-flake-config

Using Docker

docker run -v nix-store:/nix -v "$PWD:/workspace" -w /workspace --rm -it nixos/nix nix \
    --extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' \
    develop 'https://nixomatic.com/?p=fluxcd,kubectl' \
      --accept-flake-config
