I am working on setting up a home server but I want it to be reproducible if I need to make large changes, switch out hardware, or restore from a failure. What do you use to handle this?

    I went the nuclear option and am using Talos with Flux to manage my homelab.

    My source of truth is the git repo with all my cluster and application configs. With this setup, I can tear everything down and within 30 min have a working cluster with everything installed automatically.

        I have a similar setup, and even though I am hosting git (forgejo), I use ssh as a git server for the source of truth that k8s reads.

        This prevents an ouroboros dependency where flux is using the git repo from forgejo which is deployed by flux…
