Alpha requirements

Anything that works (...or doesn't 🤷).

Beta requirements

Good enough for tinkering and personal usage, and reasonably secure.

  • Change OS To Ubuntu
    • Personal preference over fedora
    • NB! only if I find a way to automate OS provisioning
    • Existing bits that need to be changed:
  • Automated bare metal provisioning
    • Controller set up (Docker)
    • OS installation (PXE boot)
    • Disk wipe (OS re-installation)
  • Automated cluster creation (k3s)
  • Automated application deployment (ArgoCD)
  • Automated DNS management
  • Initialize GitOps repository on Gitea automatically
  • Observability
    • Monitoring
    • Logging
    • Alerting
  • SSO
  • Reasonably secure
    • Automated certificate management
    • Declarative secret management
    • Replace all default passwords with randomly generated ones
    • Expose services to the internet securely with Cloudflare Tunnel
  • Only use open-source technologies (except external managed services in ./external)
  • Everything is defined as code
  • Backup solution (3 copies, 2 seperate devices, 1 offsite)
  • Define SLOs:
    • 70% availability (might break in the weekend due to new experimentation)
  • Core applications
    • Gitea
    • Woodpecker
    • Private container registry
    • Homepage

Stable requirements

Can be used in "production" (for family or even small scale businesses).

  • A single command to deploy everything
  • Fast deployment time (from empty hard drive to running services in under 1 hour)
  • Fully automatic, not just automated
    • Bare-metal OS rolling upgrade
    • Kubernetes version rolling upgrade
    • Application version upgrade
    • Encrypted backups
    • Secrets rotation
    • Self healing
  • Secure by default
    • SELinux
    • Network policies
  • Static code analysis
  • Chaos testing
  • Minimal dependency on external services
  • Complete documentation
    • Diagram as code
    • Book (this book)
    • Walkthrough tutorial and feature demo (video)
  • Configuration script for new users
  • More dashboards and alert rules
  • SLOs:
    • 99,9% availability (less than 9 hours of downtime per year)
    • 99,99% data durability
  • Clear upgrade path
  • Additional applications
