# 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.
