Getting Started

To get started with the homelab configuration, follow these steps:

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/ghimele/homelab.git
cd homelab

2. Setup Ansible

Install Ansible on your local machine. Configure your inventory files in ansible/inventories/ as needed. Run playbooks from ansible/playbooks/ to configure your systems.

3. Kubernetes Configuration

The Kubernetes Configuration is managed by Fluxcd, see the CD section.

4. Continuos Integration with GitHub Actions

Configure GitHub Actions workflows in the .github/workflows/ directory for automated testing and deployment.

5. Continuous Deployment with FluxCD

FluxCD manages the continuous deployment of the Kubernetes resources. The Flux configuration is located under kubernetes/clusters/<environment>. Ensure that your FluxCD setup is properly synced with this repository to automate deployments.
