+# Dev-Cluster GitOps Provisioning
+
+Provisioning, configuration and manifests for my Kubernetes dev cluster on Hetzner Cloud, set up for GitOps with Flux CD.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html) installed
+- [SOPS](https://github.com/mozilla/sops) installed
+- [Age](https://github.com/FiloSottile/age) installed (for encryption)
+- A Hetzner Cloud account and API token
+- A GitHub account and personal access token (for Flux)
+
+## Setup Steps
+
+1. **Generate an Age key:**
+   ```
+   age-keygen -o key.txt
+   ```
+
+2. **Create a `.sops.yaml` file in your project root:**
+   ```yaml
+   creation_rules:
+     - path_regex: secrets\.enc\.yaml$
+       age: <your-age-public-key>
+   ```
+   Replace `<your-age-public-key>` with the public key from your `key.txt` file.
+
+3. **Create a `secrets.yaml` file with your sensitive data:**
+   ```yaml
+   username: <your-username>
+   user_hashed_password: <your-hashed-password>
+   user_ssh_public_key: <your-ssh-public-key>
+   github_username: <your-github-username>
+   github_repo: <your-flux-repo-name>
+   ```
+
+4. **Encrypt the secrets file:**
+   ```
+   sops -e secrets.yaml > secrets.enc.yaml
+   ```
+
+5. **Create a `terraform.tfvars` file for your Hetzner Cloud token:**
+   ```hcl
+   hcloud_token = "your-hetzner-cloud-token"
+   ```
+
+6. **Initialize Terraform:**
+   ```
+   terraform init
+   ```
+
+7. **Plan your Terraform deployment:**
+   ```
+   terraform plan
+   ```
+
+8. **Apply your Terraform configuration:**
+   ```
+   terraform apply
+   ```
+
+## File Structure
+
+- `main.tf`: Main Terraform configuration file
+- `variables.tf`: Terraform variables definition
+- `cloud-init.yaml`: Cloud-init configuration template
+- `secrets.enc.yaml`: Encrypted secrets file (do not commit to version control)
+- `terraform.tfvars`: Terraform variables values (do not commit to version control)
+- `.sops.yaml`: SOPS configuration file
+
+## Usage
+
+After successful provisioning, you can access your new server using SSH:
+
+```
+ssh <your-username>@<server-ip>
+```
+
+The server IP will be output by Terraform after successful application.
+
+## Customization
+
+- Modify `cloud-init.yaml` to change the initial server setup.
+- Adjust `main.tf` to change Hetzner Cloud resources or add additional configurations.
+
+## Security Notes
+
+- Never commit `secrets.yaml`, `secrets.enc.yaml`, or `terraform.tfvars` to version control.
+- Keep your `key.txt` file secure and backed up. Losing this file means losing access to your encrypted secrets.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If you encounter issues:
+1. Check Terraform output for errors.
+2. Review cloud-init logs on the server: `/var/log/cloud-init-output.log`
+3. Ensure all required variables are correctly set in your encrypted secrets file.
+
+For further assistance, please open an issue in the project repository.
