It took a couple of weeks learning how the the values yaml files for rook ceph are supposed to be written. But I have finally managed to get a rook ceph storage cluster configured on a Talos kubernetes cluster!

I can do this stuff!

Next step is getting it to work with an ArgoCD CI/CD pipeline.

OK, so however thought up the structure of the #Gitlab helm chart was ... creative, to put it politely.

The chart itself has dependencies, as is common with helm charts.
But it also has a charts directory, which contains 5 other charts. Including one called gitlab.
Which again has a charts directory as well as dependencies.

So, depending on which chart you want to configure, it might be chart-name.something or gitlab.chart-name.something. Oh, they also use global.something or global.chart-name.something.

And as this is not creative enough, some charts are installed if chart-name.install is true. For some it is chart-name.enabled...

But help is near, there is an operator, that does the heavy lifting for you. Oh wait, it uses the values from the helm chart of its CRD...

Okay, authentik is up! Took a while, I was fighting against flux and the helm release because it deployed with the wrong StorageClass (I forgot to have that configuration ready before release.) Helm wasn't able to modify the PVC because they're immutable, updating the release has to wait for the initial release to succeed (which it won't) or timeout and flux is quiet on the reasons for all of this unless you know where to look 😔 lots of learning was had though!

Anyway, admin and personal user accounts created, MFA enabled. Got my first application integrated too! (actual budget)

What next? The world is my oyster... Probably gitea or semaphore. I'm hesitant to integrate services like jellyfin before I have more users onboarded and this gives me an opportunity to experiment with other edge cases like other providers and service accounts and such

Wahrscheinlich ist es den wenigsten hier aufgefallen, dass ich in der letzten Woche recht still im #Fediverse war. Ursache war ein unachtsamer Autofahrer, der mich letzte Woche bei seinem Linksabiegen vom #Fahrrad geschossen hat. Resultat sind zwei gebrochene Arme und ein Bruch am Halswirbel.

Ich könnte das hier wahrscheinlich heute nicht schreiben, wenn ich keinen #Helm getragen hätte. Darum mein Appell an alle, die mit dem #Rad unterwegs sind:

TRAGT EINEN HELM!

Part of my project for adopting gitops in my homelab has been setting up git hosting. I've selected Gitea for this instead of Gogs because I thought I'd have an easier time bootstrapping fluxcd...

Now that I've had more time to sit with the docs and learn more about Gitea, I've noticed they have broad support to serve as package registries too! It seems like I can host helm charts and docker images alongside my infra as code! This is fantastic, it'll greatly simplify my architecture. Two birds, one container!
