Talos Linux cluster

... managed with Talhelper 🤖

:book:  Overview

This directory contains my Talos Kubernetes cluster in declarative state. I use my own tool Talhelper to create the machineconfig files of all my nodes. The secrets are encrypted with SOPS.

Feel free to open a Github issue if you have any questions.

:scroll:  How to apply

1. Prepare your nodes with Talos Linux
2. Install talhelper.
3. Create your own talconfig.yaml.
4. Run talhelper gensecret > talsecret.sops.yaml if you don't have machineconfig before or talhelper gensecret -f <your-machineconfig.yaml> > talsecret.sops.yaml if you already have one.
5. Run sops -e -i talsecret.sops.yaml to encrypt your secrets (make sure you already have your own .sops.yaml) file.
6. Run talhelper genconfig and the files will be generated in ./clusterconfig directory by default.
7. Copy the generated ./clusterconfig/talosconfig to your ~/.talos/config.
8. Run talosctl -n <node-ip> apply-config --insecure --file ./clusterconfig/<clustername>-<hostname>.yaml on each of your node. Don't forget to run talosctl -n <node-ip> bootstrap on one of your controlplane node.
9. Push your current directory to your git repository of choice. 😉

:memo:  After bootstrap

1. Deploy cilium : kubectl kustomize --enable-helm ./cni | kubectl apply -f -
2. Deploy kubelet-csr-approver kubectl kustomize --enable-helm ./kubelet-csr-approver | kubectl apply -f - to approve csr issued by talos nodes (that will allow to see pods logs).
3. Deploy flux kubectl apply -k ./flux
4. Create flux github secret kubectl apply -f ./flux/.decrypted\~github-deploy-key.sops.yaml
5. Create sops secret cat ~/.config/sops/age/keys.txt | kubectl create secret generic sops-age --namespace=flux-system --from-file=age.agekey=/dev/stdin
6. Apply flux cluster configuration kubectl apply -k kubernetes/flux
7. Apply flux base configuration kubectl apply -f kubernetes/base/flux.yaml
8. Apply flux core kubectl apply -f kubernetes/cluster-0/core/flux.yaml
9. Apply flux apps kubectl apply -f kubernetes/cluster-0/apps/flux.yaml
