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

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!

Et si l'on vous disait que le #GitOps, ce n'est pas que mettre dans #Git ce que vous déployez, mais aussi une philosophie et des concepts!

J'aurai l'honneur de vous en parler à @devoxxfr 2025! 🚀

#Kubernetes#k8s#IaC

What I did in the last weeks (part 2):

All of my k3s clusters (and I have a few of them for $REASONS) are now running either #fluxCD or #argoCD. So everything #gitops now.

In general, I like the lightweightness of fluxCD, not having to run Redis and whatnot. But having a GUI is sometimes nice, even though the flux CLI is really easy to use and very intuitive.

And of course, #renovatebot is watching all repositories and sending merge requests to update things in the clusters. Nice!

Got any specific tips for gitops?

I understand the basic value proposition but I have to square it with enabling developers. Just kicking them out of write access to things doesn't jive with how much they usually help out in infra.

The right kind of automation could work but write-back commits from CI are kinda squirrely. ArgoCD is assumed, and Akuity Kargo is on my radar, if that helps.

As part of the standardization of our network infrastructure to #MikroTik #RouterOS devices and the integration into #GitOps I was looking for a way to automatically scan RouterOS configurations for #security issues.

And this is where “Sara: RouterOS Security Inspector” by @casterbyte comes in.

Wish, the tool could be more easily integrated into an automated CD pipeline and that the checks were more extensive, but at least it is a (manual) start.

I have to admit that working on the IT backbone of our company isn't exactly the most relaxing thing, but what wouldn't you do to finally convert the entire IT infrastructure to #GitOps. No more guessing about why and when someone made a change in that wonderful UI of a switch, just pure code instead.

We are currently migrating all network devices to #MikroTik #RouterOS and together with #GNS3 it is almost fun to plan and test everything in advance. Automated (almost unit) tests: no problem 😎
