cluster-template VS hajimari

k8s is a lot easier for homelabs than it used to be, and imo it's quicker than nix for building a declarative homelab. templates like this one can deploy a cluster in a few hours: https://github.com/onedr0p/cluster-template

here's my home assistant deployment as a single file: https://github.com/pl4nty/homelab/blob/main/kubernetes/clust...

I deliberately nuked my onprem cluster a few weeks ago, and was fully restored within 2 hours (including host OS reinstalls). and most of that was waiting for backup restores over my slow internet connection

example repo: https://github.com/onedr0p/flux-cluster-template

Magical setups like this often get a lot of bad rap, but if you already understand Ansible and know Linux etc, you might find this repo a good start to building out your own cluster using gitops: https://github.com/onedr0p/flux-cluster-template

more of an end-to-end solution than a build-it-yourself, but this was a huge help in my understanding of k8s and the other tech like gitops - https://github.com/onedr0p/flux-cluster-template

idk how it'd scale for a larger operation, but flux+sops+age has worked great for me. based on https://github.com/onedr0p/flux-cluster-template

Here is a really good and VERY thorough example of pulling that all together: https://github.com/onedr0p/flux-cluster-template

Did you take a look at hajimari?

There are a few of these in the wild already. I've personally used https://github.com/toboshii/hajimari successfully. You can have it list services on a landing page dynamically and formatted based on annotations you add to the ingress resource. Works pretty well.

Another one for the list, one that I personally use at home and work:

* hajimari - https://github.com/toboshii/hajimari

Autodiscovery based on Kubernetes Ingress objects is a really nice feature: you configure the details using labels (name, icon etc.) in case the Ingress is not exactly what you want.
