  - RAM: `16GB`
  - SSD: `128GB`
- TP-Link `TL-SG108` switch:

  - Speed: `1000Mbps`

## Overview

![Provision](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/27996771/122676008-2eb23600-d206-11eb-8275-fb5d99bc8515.jpg)

A single `make` command will automatically:

- Build the `./metal` layer:
  - Create an ephemeral, stateless PXE server
  - Install Linux on all servers in parallel
- Build the `./cluster` layer:
  - Create a Kubernetes [cluster](./cluster/cluster.tf) using RKE
  - Install some [Helm chart for bootstrap](./cluster/bootstrap.tf)
- Build the `./apps` layer:
  - Kustomize creates Argo [applications](./apps/resources)
  - ArgoCD install those applications

Please visit the [Provisioning flow document](https://khuedoan.github.io/homelab/deployment/provisioning_flow.html) to learn more.

## Get Started

### Harware requirements

Any modern `x86_64` computer(s) should work, you can use old PCs, laptops or servers.
A total of 3 or more nodes is recommended for high availability.

To view the detailed requirements, please visit the [Hareware requirements document](https://khuedoan.github.io/homelab/deployment/hardware_requirements.html).

### Prerequisite

For the controller (your laptop or desktop):

- SSH keys in `~/.ssh/{id_ed25519,id_ed25519.pub}` (you can generate it with `ssh-keygen -t ed25519`)
- Docker with `host` networking driver (which means [only Docker on Linux hosts](https://docs.docker.com/network/host/), you can use a Linux virtual machine with bridged networking if you're on macOS or Windows)

For bare metal nodes:

- PXE IPv4 enabled
- Wake-on-LAN enabled and boot to network mode by default if turned on via Wake-on-LAN
- Secure boot disabled (optional, depending on the OS)
- Note their MAC addresses

To view the detailed instruction, please visit the [Prerequisite document](https://khuedoan.github.io/homelab/deployment/prerequisite.html).

### Configurations

Change these configuration files to match your hardware and network setup:

- [Bare metal nodes settings](./metal/hosts.yml) (IP, MAC...)
- [OS settings](./metal/group_vars/all.yml) (PXE, network...)

To view the detailed instruction, please visit the [Configuration document](https://khuedoan.github.io/homelab/deployment/configuration.html).

### Build

You can install all the tools manually, or you can use the convenience tools container:

```sh
make tools
```

Then build the homelab:

```sh
make
```

If you encounter any issue, please visit [Trouble shooting guide](https://khuedoan.github.io/homelab/troubleshooting/README.html)

## Roadmap
