Shivering-Isles GitOps Infrastructure

This repository has become the center of Shivering-Isles Infrastructure. It homes basically all deployments of software, various custom container images, various self-maintained helm charts and more.

Usage

For SI-GitLab this would look like this:

export GITLAB_TOKEN=<project access token able to write the API and repository>
flux bootstrap gitlab \
  --hostname=git.shivering-isles.com \
  --ssh-hostname=git.shivering-isles.com:2222 \
  --ssh-key-algorithm ed25519 \
  --owner=<your user / team> \
  --repository=<your repository name> \
  --path=clusters/<your cluster name>

Ideas & ToDo's

This toolchain is still under development. Before it will be used in production there are still some things left to do:

• Buy hardware for the project.
• Provide CLI container that contains all tools.
• Automate overlay network deployment (calico)
• Use encrypted overlay network (calico+wireguard)
• Automate cluster monitoring deployment (kube-prometheus)
• Automate ingress-controller deployment (ingress-nginx)
• Automate policy enforcement (kyverno) deployment
• Encrypt root filesystems for all nodes (LUKS + clevis)
• Enforce SELinux on the deployed machines
• Automate system upgrades using Kubernetes (system-upgrade-controller)
• Automate system configuration using Kubernetes (system-upgrade-controller)
• Provide an fully encrypted (handled on host level) storage class (longhorn)
• Deploy cert-manager
• Deploy credentials for cert-manager
• Automate ingress-controller default certificate deployment
• Add encrypted deployment instructions (SOPS + fluxcd)
• Integrate Renovatebot with this repository to manage updates.
• Automate Kubernetes upgrades
• Automate ingress-controller configuration for proxy-protocol
• Migrate apps to gitops and Kubernetes
• Deploy kubelet with proper certificates
• Move to immutable base-system
