Dev-Cluster GitOps Provisioning

Provisioning, configuration and manifests for my Kubernetes dev cluster on Hetzner Cloud, set up for GitOps with Flux CD.

Prerequisites

• OpenTofu
• SOPS
• Age
• A Hetzner Cloud account and API token
• A GitHub account and personal access token (for Flux)
• S3 compatible storage credentials

Setup Steps

1. Generate an Age key:

   age-keygen -o key.txt
   

2. Edit .sops.yaml file in your project root:

   creation_rules:
     - unencrypted_regex: "^(apiVersion|metadata|kind|type)$"
       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:

   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>
   github_token: <your-github-token>
   

4. Encrypt the secrets file:

   sops -e secrets.yaml > secrets.enc.yaml
   

5. Create a terraform.tfvars file for your Hetzner Cloud token:

   hcloud_token = "your-hetzner-cloud-token"
   
   

6. Create s3_env.yaml file with your S3 compatible storage credentials

   AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_S3 AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID AWS_REGION AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

7. Encrypt the s3_env.yaml file:

   sops -e s3_env.yaml > s3_env.enc.yaml
   

8. Initialize OpenTofu:

   tofu init
   tofu plan
   tofu apply
