iac
A personal homelab infrastructure repository demonstrating GitOps practices with Kubernetes, Proxmox VMs, and Docker Compose. It uses Talos Linux, Flux, Ansible, OpenTofu, and GitHub Actions to manage and automate a complete home infrastructure stack.

What iac is
Infrastructure-as-code project combining Proxmox hypervisor, Talos Linux Kubernetes cluster, and legacy Docker/VM workloads. Employs Flux for K8s CD, GitHub Actions for automation, Renovate for dependency management, Ansible for VM configuration, and Bitwarden Secrets for secret management.

Best use cases
Implementation considerations
- Project is fundamentally a single individual's homelab snapshot—expect significant customization needed to match your hardware, networking, and security posture.
- Requires working knowledge of Kubernetes, Talos Linux, Ansible, Terraform/OpenTofu, Docker, and GitHub Actions; not a beginner-friendly resource.
- No versioned releases or upgrade path documented. Track the main branch for changes and test thoroughly before applying to production-like homelabs.
- Bitwarden Secrets integration is mentioned but implementation details are incomplete (README truncated). Verify full secret management strategy before deployment.
- The codebase mirrors to GitLab and Forgejo, indicating potential distribution concerns—clarify your source-of-truth before relying on this repo.
When to avoid it — and what to weigh
- Production Enterprise Workloads — Designed for personal homelab use. Not suitable for business-critical systems without significant hardening, redundancy, and commercial support architecture.
- Seeking Turnkey Solutions — This is a reference implementation requiring deep DevOps expertise to adapt and deploy. Not a plug-and-play platform for non-technical teams.
- Need Commercial Support — WTFPL license provides no legal warranty or support guarantees. The project reflects one individual's configuration and may diverge from best practices.
- Limited Infrastructure Budget — Requires Proxmox hardware, networking equipment (Unifi), and substantial server capacity. Not cost-effective for minimal setups.
License & commercial use
Licensed under WTFPL (Do What The F*ck You Want To Public License). This is a permissive, unconditional license that allows use, modification, and redistribution with no restrictions, attribution requirements, or liability. It is unconventional and may not be recognized by all compliance tools.
WTFPL is permissive and places no restrictions on commercial use. However, it offers no warranties or indemnification. For commercial adaptation, conduct legal review to ensure compliance with your organization's licensing and liability requirements. The license itself does not guarantee the code is suitable for production use.
DEV.co evaluation signals
Editorial assessment — not user reviews. Directional, with an explicit confidence level.
| Signal | Assessment |

| License clarity | Clear |
| Deployment complexity | High |
| DEV.co fit | Good |
| Assessment confidence | High |
Mentions use of Bitwarden Secrets Manager but implementation is undocumented. No description of RBAC, network policies, secret rotation, or exposure management. Status dashboard endpoints are publicly accessible (potentially leaking infrastructure info). Unifi networking is noted but firewall/segmentation rules are not detailed. Requires thorough security audit before production use.
Alternatives to consider
Ansible + Terraform (without Kubernetes)
Simpler, lower-overhead approach for VM-only infrastructure. Avoids Kubernetes complexity if you do not need container orchestration at scale.
k3s + Kustomize (instead of Talos + Flux)
Lighter-weight Kubernetes distribution with simpler bootstrapping. Kustomize provides declarative config management without GitOps coupling.
HashiCorp Terraform + Vault + Nomad
Commercial-backed alternatives offering multi-cloud portability, enterprise secret management, and unified orchestration for VMs and containers.
