Playbooks and roles that bootstrap the non-Talos hosts in the homelab — Docker hosts, the K3s mini-server cluster, and any Linux box that doesn't ship with an immutable OS.

Ansible role that turns a clean Linux host into a hardened Docker engine target — used to provision the Docker hosts that run outside Kubernetes.

Standalone Docker host runtimes used outside Kubernetes — Synology DS723+ for Syncthing, ad-hoc k3d clusters for local development, and one-off boxes provisioned by Ansible.

Single source of truth for the edge Kubernetes cluster on Hetzner Cloud — single-node Talos cluster fronted by a Hetzner VPC and floating IP, used as the public ingress point.

GitOps reconciler running in both clusters — pulls manifests from Gitea (with Codeberg as the documented migration target) and applies them via Kustomize + SOPS decryption.

The IaC + cluster-bootstrap layer that turns hardware and the network fabric into a running Kubernetes cluster — Proxmox, Hetzner, Talos, K3s, Flux, OpenTofu, Ansible.

Single-node Hetzner Cloud edge cluster — one CX33 control-plane in nbg1, fronted by a Hetzner-managed VPC and label-selected firewalls, with a floating IP for stable inbound traffic.

Legacy lightweight Kubernetes distribution that ran on the AMD Athlon mini-server cluster. Retired and replaced by the Talos cluster on the Intel NUCs. Kept here as historical reference.

OpenTofu workflow that provisions everything outside Kubernetes — Hetzner edge VMs, Proxmox production VMs, UniFi home network, and the NetBird overlay.

Three-node Proxmox VE cluster (proxmox1/2/3) hosting the production Talos VMs, NetBird connector LXCs, and the storage-backed worker pool with GPU passthrough.

Immutable, API-driven Linux distribution purpose-built for Kubernetes — running on every node of the production and edge clusters, configured declaratively via Talhelper.

Single source of truth for the on-prem production Kubernetes cluster — hardware, hypervisor, OS, controllers, apps, network, storage, backups, lifecycle.
