HomeOps: Building a GitOps-driven Homelab Infrastructure From Scratch

on YouTube ↗05m

" summary

Builds a working GitOps homelab for “simple AWS at home” using hundreds of dollars of hardware (Raspberry Pi cluster or a small rack) and hours of automation. Uses GitHub Actions for pipelines, Argo CD or Flux for continuous delivery, Terraform for third‑party config and Ansible for node provisioning, secures remote access with Tailscale/cloud tunnels, runs MicroK8s/Kubernetes with MinIO/Docker workloads and ClickHouse, and ends with a reachable private cloud that actually syncs and deploys from Git.
