This repository hosts the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for my Kubernetes homelab. It runs a media server stack, home automation, and observability infrastructure.
The cluster is built on Talos Linux, an immutable and minimal OS, and managed via GitOps principles using Flux. Changes pushed to this repository are automatically reconciled in the cluster.
My cluster is a hybrid setup running on bare metal and virtualized nodes.
