Provisioning flow

Everything is automated, after you edit the configuration files, you just need to run a single make command and it will:

• Build the ./metal layer:
  • Create an ephemeral, stateless PXE server
  • Install Linux on all servers in parallel
  • Build a Kubernetes cluster (based on k3s)
• Build the ./bootstrap layer:
  • Install ArgoCD
  • Install ApplicationSet to manage other layers (and also manage itself)

From now on, ArgoCD will do the rest:

• Build the ./system layer (storage, networking, monitoring, etc)
• Build the ./platform layer (Gitea, Vault, SSO, etc)
• Build the ./apps layer: (Syncthing, Jellyfin, etc)
