To provision the entire infrastructure, follow the steps below:

1. Clone the repository:

git clone  https://github.com/diogosilv30/lab.dsilva.dev.git

2. Navigate to the cloned directory:

cd  lab.dsilva.dev

3. Define the following environment variables:

export  TF_VAR_proxmox_api_url=
export  TF_VAR_proxmox_api_token_id=
export  TF_VAR_proxmox_api_token_secret=
export  TF_VAR_ciuser=
export  TF_VAR_ssh_keys=
export  TF_VAR_ssh_private_key=
# Cloudflare variables
export  TF_VAR_cloudflare_dns_zone=yourdomain.com
export  TF_VAR_cloudflare_zone_id=
export  TF_VAR_cloudflare_account_id=
export  TF_VAR_cloudflare_email=
export  TF_VAR_cloudflare_token=

There are other variables you can configure, refer to terraform/variables.tf file.

4. Finally, run the following command to provision the infrastructure:

make apply

Easy peasy! 🔥 🚀 This command will create all the VMs (Kubernetes nodes) on Proxmox, set up the Cloudflare tunnel, configure ArgoCD, and deploy external-dns.

Once the infrastructure is provisioned, you can start deploying your services using ArgoCD and YAML manifests.

Inside the terraform folder you should find your kubeconfig file.

To use it do: export KUBECONFIG=./terraform/kubeconfig

Then you can interact with your cluster via kubectl.

To login into ArgoCD the default username is admin and the default password can be found using:

kubectl -n argocd get secret argocd-initial-admin-secret -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" | base64 -d; echo

• Terraform for Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

• Proxmox for virtualization

• Kubernetes (k3s) for container orchestration

• Cloudflare for DNS management and edge connectivity

• ArgoCD for GitOps-style deployment

• External-dns for seamless DNS integration with Kubernetes

• Github Actions pipeline for automated deployment

• Tailscale VPN for secure connection to home network

With Terraform, all VMs are created on Proxmox automatically. This means you can quickly deploy and manage your k3s cluster with ease, without the need for manual intervention.

The Cloudflare tunnel is automated and configured to connect the Kubernetes cluster to the Cloudflare edge. This integration is also linked with external-dns, so that all DNS records are automatically updated with the correct IP addresses.

ArgoCD is deployed with Terraform to enable GitOps-style deployment. This means that you can deploy and manage your services using YAML manifests, with minimal manual intervention.

Using Github Actions pipeline, the deployment of infrastructure is fully automated by connecting the Github runner to my home network using Tailscale VPN. This ensures that all communication is secure and encrypted.
