Latest projects
Setup of a Talas-based Kubernetes cluster on KVM including the provisioning of control plane, worker nodes and HAProxy via Terraform and cloudinit. The project also included the secrets management with Openbao (incl. Kubernetes Auth), a GitOps deployment of the cluster infrastructure via FluxCD (Cilium CNI, Cert-Manager, External-DNS, External Secrets Operator, Longhorn, Openbao, Prometheus Operator) as well as DNS management in Cloudflare via Terraform with External-DNS integration.
Implementation of an automated n8n deployment on Hetzner VPS servers using Terraform and cloudinit, whereby the services are provided via Docker Compose. The system supports two modes - simple (n8n DB + Redis + SWAG) and full (+SSO Auth, monitoring, backups) - with three scripts fully automating the entire setup up to service start in one go.
