refactor(ci-cd): Replace Terraform pipeline with GitOps validation and ArgoCD sync

Delete old terraform-apply.yml (terraform fmt/init/validate/plan/apply).

Create new GitOps CI/CD:
- validate-k8s.yaml: YAML lint, kubeval, kustomize build, ArgoCD validation
- argocd-sync.yaml: Auto-sync homelab-root on main branch
- security-scan.yaml: Trivy, Polaris, secret detection
- .yamllint.yaml: YAML linting configuration

Add documentation (.forgejo/CI-CD.md) and architecture guides.

Git is now single source of truth. CI validates, ArgoCD deploys.

# CI/CD Pipeline: GitOps Validation & Deployment
## Overview
Pure GitOps CI/CD pipeline using Forgejo Actions (self-hosted runner).
**Principle:** Validate in CI, deploy via ArgoCD (no manual steps).
```
git push
[CI: Validate]
├─ yamllint (YAML syntax)
├─ kubeval (K8s manifests)
├─ kustomize build (all layers)
├─ argocd validation (app definitions)
└─ security scan (secrets, best practices)
[If push to main]
└─ ArgoCD auto-syncs (if enabled)
```
## Workflows
### 1. validate-k8s.yaml (Mandatory)
**Trigger:** Any push/PR with k8s/ changes
**What it does:**
1. Lints all YAML files (`yamllint`)
2. Validates K8s manifests (`kubeval`)
3. Builds all kustomization layers
4. Validates ArgoCD applications
5. Reports results
**Duration:** ~2-3 minutes
**Status:**
- ✅ PASS: All layers build, manifests valid → OK to merge
- ❌ FAIL: Syntax error, invalid resource, build failed → Fix & push again
**Example output:**
```
=== Building k8s/infrastructure/ ===
✓ Infrastructure built successfully
Resources: 47
=== Building k8s/bootstrap/ ===
✓ Bootstrap built successfully
Resources: 23
```
**When to check:**
- After every commit
- Before merging PRs
- On every branch
### 2. argocd-sync.yaml (Recommended)
**Trigger:** Push to main only (k8s/ changed)
**What it does:**
1. Authenticates with ArgoCD
2. Syncs `homelab-root` application
3. Waits for sync to complete (5 min timeout)
4. Verifies all applications healthy
**Duration:** 1-5 minutes (depends on resources)
**Status:**
- ✅ SYNCED: All resources deployed to cluster
- ❌ FAILED: Sync error, pod crashes, etc. → Check ArgoCD UI for details
**When it runs:**
- Automatically after merge to main
- Only on k8s/ changes (not on docs)
**Manual trigger (if needed):**
```bash
# SSH to runner or use Forgejo UI
# Re-run failed workflow
# Or manually sync: argocd app sync homelab-root
```
**Requires secrets:**
- `ARGOCD_SERVER`: ArgoCD server URL (https://argocd.riotpiao.homelab.com)
- `ARGOCD_AUTH_TOKEN`: ArgoCD API token (generate via ArgoCD UI)
### 3. security-scan.yaml (Optional)
**Trigger:** Any push/PR with k8s/ changes
**What it does:**
1. Scans Dockerfiles for vulnerabilities (`trivy`)
2. Scans Helm charts for security issues
3. Audits K8s manifests (`polaris`)
4. Checks for hardcoded secrets
5. Verifies security best practices
**Duration:** ~3-5 minutes
**Status:**
- ✅ PASS: No critical issues
- ⚠️ WARNING: Best practice recommendations (non-blocking)
- ❌ FAIL: Hardcoded secrets found (must fix)
**Common issues:**
- Missing resource limits (warning)
- Privileged containers (warning)
- Hardcoded passwords (ERROR)

├── workflows/ # CI/CD workflows
│ ├── validate-k8s.yaml # Validate manifests (required)
│ ├── argocd-sync.yaml # Sync to cluster (auto on main)
│ └── security-scan.yaml # Security checks (optional)
└── CI-CD.md # This file
```
---
## Setup Instructions
### 1. Install Forgejo Runner
```bash
# On runner machine (inside cluster or external)
forgejo-runner register \
--instance https://forgejo.riotpiao.homelab.com \
--token <registration-token> \
--name homelab-runner \
--labels docker
forgejo-runner daemon
```
### 2. Add ArgoCD Secrets to Forgejo
```bash
# Go to: Forgejo → Settings → Secrets
# Add:
ARGOCD_SERVER = https://argocd.riotpiao.homelab.com
ARGOCD_AUTH_TOKEN = <token> # Generate: argocd account generate-token
```
### 3. Generate ArgoCD Token
```bash
# Inside cluster
kubectl -n argocd port-forward svc/argocd-server 8080:443
# Go to: https://localhost:8080/user-info/api-tokens
# Create new token (CI/CD)
# Copy token to Forgejo secrets
```
---
## Workflow Execution
### When developer pushes to feature branch:
```
git push origin feature/new-service
Forgejo Actions triggered
validate-k8s.yaml runs:
✓ Lints YAML
✓ Validates manifests
✓ Builds kustomizations
✓ All pass → GitHub comment: "Ready to merge"
Developer opens PR
Reviewer checks:
- Code changes (YAML)
- Workflow results
- ArgoCD impact (diff)
PR merged to main
```
### When merged to main:
```
git merge feature/new-service → main
Forgejo Actions triggered
validate-k8s.yaml runs:
✓ Same validation as above
argocd-sync.yaml runs (if enabled):
✓ Syncs homelab-root
✓ Waits for sync
✓ Verifies health
✓ Resources deployed to cluster
Cluster state = git state
(No manual kubectl apply needed!)
```
---
## Debugging CI/CD Failures
### Issue: "Kustomize build failed"
```bash
# Run locally
cd k8s/
kustomize build bootstrap/ # See actual error
# Fix YAML/kustomization.yaml
# git push again
```
### Issue: "Kubeval validation failed"
```bash
# Check K8s manifest syntax
kubeval k8s/platform/minio/config.yaml
# Common issues:
# - Typos in apiVersion, kind, metadata
# - Missing required fields
# - Invalid references (namespace, service name)
```
### Issue: "ArgoCD sync failed"
```bash
# Check ArgoCD UI
# https://argocd.riotpiao.homelab.com → homelab-root
# Or CLI
argocd app get homelab-root
argocd app logs homelab-root --follow
# Common issues:
# - Missing namespace (fixed by infrastructure layer)
# - Invalid Helm chart version
# - Secret not found
# - Network policy blocking traffic
```
### Issue: "Security scan found hardcoded secret"
```bash
# Fix: Remove secret from YAML
# Add to SOPS encryption instead
# Or use ArgoCD Sealed Secrets
# (if SOPS not available)
```

## Common Tasks
### Add new service to cluster
```bash
# 1. Create directory and kustomization.yaml
mkdir -p k8s/applications/my-service
cat > k8s/applications/my-service/kustomization.yaml << EOF
apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Kustomization
namespace: my-namespace
helmCharts:
- name: my-chart
repo: https://charts.example.com
version: 1.0.0
releaseName: my-service
valuesFile: values.yaml
EOF
# 2. Add values.yaml
cp /template/values.yaml k8s/applications/my-service/
# 3. Commit and push
git add k8s/applications/my-service/
git commit -m "feat(apps): add my-service"
git push
# 4. CI validates
# 5. Merge to main
# 6. ArgoCD syncs automatically
# ✓ Service deployed to cluster
```
### Rollback a deployment
```bash
# 1. Find broken commit
git log --oneline k8s/ # Identify bad commit
# 2. Revert
git revert <commit-hash>
git push
# 3. CI validates (should pass)
# 4. Merge to main
# 5. ArgoCD syncs back to previous version
# ✓ Cluster state reverted
```
### Emergency: Disable ArgoCD auto-sync
```bash
# If production broken and need time to debug:
argocd app set homelab-root --sync-policy none
# Fix issue in git
# Test locally: kustomize build k8s/
# Re-enable
argocd app set homelab-root --sync-policy automated
argocd app sync homelab-root
```
---
## Monitoring & Alerts
### Check workflow status in Forgejo
```bash
# Dashboard shows:
✅ All green → Safe to merge
❌ Red → Fix required before merge
⏳ Yellow → Still running (wait)
```
### Check ArgoCD status
```bash
argocd app list
# Shows: Synced, OutOfSync, Unknown status
argocd app get homelab-root
# Shows: health, sync status, resources
argocd app logs homelab-root --follow
# Real-time logs during sync
```
### Alerts (optional, future)
```yaml
# Could add Forgejo webhooks → Slack/email
# When CI/CD fails → Alert ops team
# When ArgoCD goes OutOfSync → Alert ops team
```
---
## Troubleshooting
### Workflow doesn't trigger
**Check:**
- Is Forgejo runner running? `forgejo-runner daemon`
- Did you push to correct branch? (validate runs on all, argocd-sync only on main)
- Did path match filter? (must change k8s/ or .forgejo/workflows/)
### Workflow hangs/times out
**Check:**
- kustomize build → Check for dependency cycles
- argocd sync → Check cluster resources (storage full? network down?)
- security scan → Large image scan → Takes time
**Fix:**
- Increase timeout in workflow
- Optimize kustomization (remove unused resources)
- Add resource limits to pods
### ArgoCD token invalid
**Fix:**
```bash
# Regenerate token
argocd account generate-token
# Update Forgejo secret
# Settings → Secrets → ARGOCD_AUTH_TOKEN = <new-token>
```
---
## Best Practices
**DO:**
- Commit all K8s changes to git (no manual kubectl apply)
- Run validate-k8s locally before push
- Write descriptive commit messages (why this change?)
- Review workflow logs before merging
- Monitor ArgoCD sync after merge
**DON'T:**
- Push directly to main (always use PR)
- Skip workflow validation (it catches errors early)
- Ignore security scan warnings
- Manually `kubectl apply` (breaks GitOps)
- Edit resources in cluster (they revert via ArgoCD)
---
## Next Steps
1. **Setup Forgejo runner** (if not already running)
2. **Add ArgoCD secrets** to Forgejo
3. **Test workflows** on feature branch
4. **Merge to main** → Watch ArgoCD sync
5. **Celebrate:** Full GitOps pipeline working! 🎉

## Application Sync Layers (Deployment Order)
```
Layer 0: Infrastructure (foundation - 1 app)
└─ infrastructure/ (namespaces, storage classes, RBAC)
Layer 1: Bootstrap (cluster networking - 1 app)
└─ bootstrap/ (cert-manager, cilium, ingress-nginx)
Layer 2: Platform (cluster services - 1 app)
└─ platform/ (longhorn, minio, loki, prometheus, promtail)
Layer 3: Security (identity & auth - 1 app)
└─ security/ (authentik, vault, cert-issuers)
Layer 4: Applications (business services - 1 app)
└─ applications/ (forgejo, grafana, portainer, temporal, llm)
Layer 5: Data (stateful services - 1 app)
└─ data/ (postgres, redis, kafka)
```
**Why layers?**
- Clear dependencies (Layer 1 needs Layer 0)
- Easy to debug (which layer broke?)
- Easy to rollback (one layer at a time)
- Easy to scale (add services without touching others)
## ArgoCD Application Architecture
### Root Application
```yaml
apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Application
metadata:
name: homelab-root
namespace: argocd
spec:
project: homelab
source:
repoURL: https://forgejo.riotpiao.homelab.com/riotpiao.com/homelab.git
targetRevision: main
path: k8s/infrastructure # Start with Layer 0
destination:
server: https://kubernetes.default.svc
syncPolicy:
automated:
prune: true
selfHeal: true
```
### Layer Applications (created by Layer 0)
```yaml
# k8s/infrastructure/argocd-apps.yaml
apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Application
metadata:
name: layer-1-bootstrap
spec:
project: homelab
source:
repoURL: https://forgejo.riotpiao.homelab.com/riotpiao.com/homelab.git
targetRevision: main
path: k8s/bootstrap
destination:
server: https://kubernetes.default.svc
syncPolicy:
automated:
prune: true
selfHeal: true
---
apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Application
metadata:
name: layer-2-platform
spec:
...
path: k8s/platform
---
# Repeat for layers 3, 4, 5
```
## Kustomization Strategy
### Base (Helm chart + values override)
```yaml
# k8s/bootstrap/cert-manager/kustomization.yaml
apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Kustomization
helmCharts:
- name: cert-manager
repo: https://charts.jetstack.io
releaseName: cert-manager
version: v1.21.0
namespace: cert-manager
valuesInline:
crds:
enabled: true
prometheus:
enabled: true
servicemonitor:
enabled: true
```
### Patch (customize per environment)
```yaml
# k8s/bootstrap/cert-manager/kustomization.yaml
patchesJson6902:
- target:
group: helm.sh
version: v1
kind: Release
name: cert-manager
patch: |-
- op: add
path: /spec/values/installCRDs
value: "true"
```
## Secrets Management (SOPS)
```bash
# Encrypt secrets before committing
sops -e secrets.yaml > secrets.enc.yaml
git add secrets.enc.yaml
# ArgoCD decrypts at sync time (via plugin)
```
## File Naming Conventions
```
Layer directories:
k8s/{layer}/*.yaml
Service subdirectories:
k8s/{layer}/{service}/
├── kustomization.yaml # Helm chart + patches
├── values.yaml # Helm values
└── config/ # Additional manifests
├── foo.yaml
└── bar.yaml
Naming:
✓ cert-manager/values.yaml (service-specific)
✓ cluster-roles.yaml (resource type)
✓ storage-classes.yaml (resource type)
✗ cert-manager-helm.yaml (redundant suffix)
✗ my-custom-config.yaml (non-standard)
```
## CI/CD Validation Pipeline
```yaml
# .forgejo/workflows/validate-k8s.yaml
on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
validate:
runs-on: default
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
# 1. Lint YAML
- run: yamllint k8s/
# 2. Validate K8s manifests
- run: kubeval k8s/**/*.yaml
# 3. Kustomize build (no apply)
- run: |
for dir in k8s/infrastructure k8s/bootstrap k8s/platform k8s/security k8s/applications k8s/data; do
kustomize build $dir > /dev/null
done
# 4. ArgoCD app validation (dry-run)
- run: argocd app create --dry-run -f k8s/argocd/apps/
# 5. Policy check (optional)
- run: conftest test -p policy/ k8s/**/*.yaml
```

- [ ] Test: `kustomize build k8s/bootstrap/`
**Day 6-7: Build Platform Layer**
- [ ] Create k8s/platform/{minio,longhorn,loki,prometheus}/
- [ ] Add values overrides
- [ ] Test: `kustomize build k8s/platform/`
**Day 8-9: Build Security Layer**
- [ ] Create k8s/security/{authentik,vault}/
- [ ] Migrate Authentik resources from Terraform
- [ ] Encrypt secrets with SOPS
**Day 10-11: Build Application Layer**

- [ ] Verify no drift
- [ ] Test manual edits (ArgoCD corrects them)
## Rollback Strategy
```bash
# Rollback entire layer
git revert <commit-hash>
git push
# ArgoCD detects change, syncs back to previous state
# Rollback single service
git checkout <commit-hash> -- k8s/applications/forgejo/
git commit -m "revert: forgejo back to <version>"
git push
```
## Benefits of This Architecture
**Scalability:** Easy to add new services (copy service directory)
**Clarity:** Clear layer dependencies (no surprises)
**Safety:** Manual edits auto-corrected by ArgoCD
**Auditability:** Every change in git (who, when, why)
**Testing:** Kustomize build validates before sync
**Rollback:** Git history = disaster recovery
**Secrets:** SOPS encryption built-in
**CI/CD:** Automated validation on every PR
## Next Steps
1. Create directory structure (k8s/infrastructure/, bootstrap/, platform/, etc.)
2. Migrate existing manifests from scattered k8s/ to new structure
3. Create kustomization.yaml for each layer
4. Create ArgoCD Applications for each layer
5. Test on live cluster (non-disruptive)
6. Update CI/CD pipeline to validate new structure

# GitOps IaC Implementation Summary
## Documents Created
1. **GITOPS_ARCHITECTURE.md** - Production-grade directory structure & design
2. **GITOPS_MIGRATION_PLAN.md** - Step-by-step implementation (6 weeks, non-disruptive)
## Architecture at a Glance
```
Pure GitOps (ArgoCD only, no Terraform)
├── Layer 0: Infrastructure (namespaces, storage, RBAC)
├── Layer 1: Bootstrap (cert-manager, cilium, ingress-nginx)
├── Layer 2: Platform (minio, longhorn, loki, prometheus)
├── Layer 3: Security (authentik, vault)
├── Layer 4: Applications (forgejo, grafana, portainer, temporal, llm)
└── Layer 5: Data (postgres, redis, kafka)
```
**Key benefit:** Each layer depends on previous, staged deployment, easy rollback.
## File Structure
```
k8s/
├── _base/ # Shared kustomization base
├── infrastructure/ # Layer 0 (foundation)
├── bootstrap/ # Layer 1 (networking)
├── platform/ # Layer 2 (services)
├── security/ # Layer 3 (auth)
├── applications/ # Layer 4 (business logic)
├── data/ # Layer 5 (stateful)
└── argocd/
├── projects/ # AppProject definitions
└── apps/
├── root-app.yaml # Bootstraps Layer 0
└── layer-*.yaml # 5 layer apps (synced in order)
```
## Implementation Steps
### Phase 1: Plan (Week 1)
- [x] Review GITOPS_ARCHITECTURE.md
- [x] Review GITOPS_MIGRATION_PLAN.md
- [ ] Audit current cluster resources
- [ ] Identify secrets needing encryption (SOPS)
- [ ] Map dependencies (provided in plan)
- **User approval required before proceeding to Phase 2**
### Phase 2: Build (Weeks 2-3)
- [ ] Create k8s/ directory structure
- [ ] Migrate Layer 0 (infrastructure)
- [ ] Migrate Layer 1 (bootstrap: cert-manager, cilium, ingress-nginx)
- [ ] Migrate Layer 2 (platform: minio, longhorn, loki, prometheus)
- [ ] Migrate Layer 3 (security: authentik, vault)
- [ ] Migrate Layer 4 (applications: forgejo, grafana, temporal, etc.)
- [ ] Migrate Layer 5 (data: postgres, redis, kafka)
### Phase 3: ArgoCD (Week 4)
- [ ] Create root application (Layer 0 trigger)
- [ ] Create 5 layer applications (with sync-wave ordering)
- [ ] Update AppProject permissions
- [ ] Test dry-run on each layer
### Phase 4: Deploy (Week 5)
- [ ] Pre-flight validation (kustomize build, kubeval, yamllint)
- [ ] Deploy root application
- [ ] Deploy layer applications (one by one)
- [ ] Monitor for drift
- [ ] Verify state correction (manual edits reverted)
### Phase 5: Cleanup (Week 6)
- [ ] Delete old k8s/ directories
- [ ] Update CI/CD pipeline (remove terraform, add kustomize)
- [ ] Archive legacy configuration
- [ ] Final validation
## Key Architecture Decisions
### ✓ Why Layers?
- **Clear dependencies:** Layer N can't deploy until Layer N-1 succeeds
- **Easy debugging:** Which layer broke? Layer 2? Roll back Layer 2 only.
- **Easy scaling:** Add new service without touching others
- **Easy rollback:** `git revert <layer-commit>`
### ✓ Why Kustomize?
- Helm chart package + values override (clean separation)
- Kustomize build validates before sync
- Patches enable per-environment customization
- Standard K8s tool (no external dependencies)
### ✓ Why No Terraform?
- Single tool (ArgoCD) vs. dual tool (Terraform + ArgoCD)
- Git is source of truth for everything
- No state backend (no .tfstate files)
- ArgoCD continuous reconciliation (drift auto-corrected)
- All changes reviewed in PRs (audit trail in git)
### ✓ Why This File Structure?
- **Predictable:** Each service has consistent structure (kustomization.yaml, values.yaml, config/)
- **Scalable:** New service = new directory (copy template)
- **Maintainable:** Clear ownership (who owns layer? who owns service?)
- **GitOps-ready:** Each layer is independently deployable
## Secret Management (SOPS)
### Before (Terraform)
```
terraform/terraform.tfvars # Plaintext secrets (risky!)
```
### After (GitOps)
```bash
# Encrypt secrets before commit
sops -e secrets.yaml > secrets.enc.yaml
git add secrets.enc.yaml
# ArgoCD decrypts at sync time (SOPS plugin installed)
# Git stores only encrypted version (safe)
```
**Secrets to encrypt:**
- Authentik bootstrap password
- MinIO root credentials
- Database passwords
- API tokens
- OAuth client secrets
## CI/CD Integration
### Before
```
git push → terraform validate → terraform plan → manual apply
```
### After (Pure GitOps)
```
git push → yamllint → kubeval → kustomize build → argocd validation
ArgoCD auto-syncs (if PR merged)
```
**No manual steps. No terraform. No state management. Pure GitOps.**
## Comparison: Old vs. New
| Aspect | Old (Terraform + ArgoCD) | New (ArgoCD Only) |
|--------|--------------------------|-------------------|
| **State management** | tfstate files | Git history |
| **Secrets** | Plaintext in .tfvars | SOPS encrypted |
| **Manual steps** | terraform apply required | git push only |
| **Rollback** | Revert tfstate + code | git revert + push |
| **Audit trail** | Terraform logs | Git history + ArgoCD logs |
| **Complexity** | High (2 tools) | Low (1 tool) |
| **New services** | Edit .tf files | Copy service directory |
| **State drift** | Manual terraform plan to detect | ArgoCD auto-detects & corrects |
## Non-Disruptive Migration
**Key principle:** Live cluster remains running during entire migration.
**How?**
1. Build k8s/ structure **alongside** existing configuration
2. Deploy each layer via ArgoCD while old method still runs
3. Once new layer verified: delete old configuration
4. If issue detected: rollback (git revert) + redeploy old version
**Timeline:** 6 weeks (can be parallelized to 3-4 weeks if needed)
## Rollback Procedure (At Any Point)
```bash
# 1. Identify broken layer
argocd app get layer-2-platform # Shows OutOfSync, error
# 2. Revert that layer
git revert <commit-hash>
git push
# 3. ArgoCD detects change, syncs back to previous version
# Expected: ~3 minutes for full reconciliation
# 4. Verify
argocd app get layer-2-platform # Should be Synced again
```
## Day 1 Action Items
1. **Read GITOPS_ARCHITECTURE.md** (30 min)
- Understand layers
- Understand directory structure
- Understand kustomization strategy
2. **Read GITOPS_MIGRATION_PLAN.md** (30 min)
- Understand phases
- Understand timeline
- Understand success criteria
3. **Review dependency map** (provided in plan)
- Confirm layer dependencies match current setup
- Identify any services not in layers
4. **Audit secrets** (30 min)
```bash
grep -r "password" k8s/ --include="*.yaml"
grep -r "token" k8s/ --include="*.yaml"
# Plan which need SOPS encryption
```
5. **Decision point:** Proceed to Phase 2 (Week 2)?
- YES → Start building k8s/ structure
- NO → Clarify concerns, refine plan
## Benefits Summary
✓ **Simpler:** One tool (ArgoCD), one repo (git), one source of truth
✓ **Safer:** All changes reviewed in PRs, git history as audit trail
✓ **Scalable:** New services = copy directory, update git, done
✓ **Resilient:** State drift auto-corrected, rollback via `git revert`
**Auditable:** Every change in git with who/when/why
**Automated:** No manual kubectl apply, no manual terraform apply
**Testable:** Kustomize build validates before sync
**Recoverable:** git history = disaster recovery

### Step 2.7: Migrate Layer 5 (Data)
**Services: postgres (CloudNativePG), redis, kafka**
**Action:**
```bash
# Create directories
mkdir -p data/{postgres,redis,kafka}
# Export existing configurations
kubectl get cnpg -A -o yaml > data/postgres/config.yaml
kubectl get redis -A -o yaml > data/redis/config.yaml
kubectl get kafka -A -o yaml > data/kafka/config.yaml
# Create kustomization.yaml for each
# Repeat process...
```
**Deliverables:**
- [x] k8s/data/{postgres,redis,kafka}/kustomization.yaml
- [x] k8s/data/kustomization.yaml
## Phase 3: Create ArgoCD Application Definitions (Week 4)
### Step 3.1: Create layer Applications
```bash
mkdir -p k8s/argocd/apps/layers
# Root application (Layer 0 only, triggers rest)
cat > k8s/argocd/apps/root-app.yaml << 'EOF'
apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Application
metadata:
name: homelab-root
namespace: argocd
spec:
project: homelab
source:
repoURL: https://forgejo.riotpiao.homelab.com/riotpiao.com/homelab.git
targetRevision: main
path: k8s/infrastructure
destination:
server: https://kubernetes.default.svc
syncPolicy:
automated:
prune: true
selfHeal: true
EOF
# Layer 1 application
cat > k8s/argocd/apps/layer-1-bootstrap.yaml << 'EOF'
apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Application
metadata:
name: layer-1-bootstrap
namespace: argocd
annotations:
argocd.argoproj.io/sync-wave: "1"
spec:
project: homelab
source:
repoURL: https://forgejo.riotpiao.homelab.com/riotpiao.com/homelab.git
targetRevision: main
path: k8s/bootstrap
destination:
server: https://kubernetes.default.svc
syncPolicy:
automated:
prune: true
selfHeal: true
EOF
# Repeat for layers 2, 3, 4, 5 (sync-wave: 2, 3, 4, 5)
```
**Deliverables:**
- [x] k8s/argocd/apps/root-app.yaml
- [x] k8s/argocd/apps/layer-{1,2,3,4,5}-*.yaml
### Step 3.2: Create kustomization.yaml for apps
```bash
cat > k8s/argocd/apps/kustomization.yaml << 'EOF'
apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Kustomization
resources:
- root-app.yaml
- layer-1-bootstrap.yaml
- layer-2-platform.yaml
- layer-3-security.yaml
- layer-4-applications.yaml
- layer-5-data.yaml
EOF
```
## Phase 4: Deploy & Validate (Week 5)
### Step 4.1: Pre-flight checks
```bash
# Validate all kustomization files
for dir in k8s/{infrastructure,bootstrap,platform,security,applications,data}; do
echo "Validating $dir..."
kustomize build $dir > /tmp/validate.yaml
kubeval /tmp/validate.yaml || exit 1
done
# Validate ArgoCD apps
kubeval k8s/argocd/apps/*.yaml
# Test YAML lint
yamllint k8s/
```
### Step 4.2: Deploy root application
```bash
# Apply root app (Layer 0 only)
kubectl apply -f k8s/argocd/apps/root-app.yaml
# Watch sync
argocd app watch homelab-root
# Verify infrastructure deployed
kubectl get ns # Should have all namespaces
kubectl get sc # Should have all storage classes
```
### Step 4.3: Deploy layer applications
```bash
# Apply layer applications (one by one)
kubectl apply -f k8s/argocd/apps/layer-1-bootstrap.yaml
sleep 5
argocd app watch layer-1-bootstrap
# Once Layer 1 synced: Layer 2
kubectl apply -f k8s/argocd/apps/layer-2-platform.yaml
argocd app watch layer-2-platform
# ... repeat for layers 3, 4, 5
```
### Step 4.4: Monitor for issues
```bash
# Check ArgoCD apps
argocd app list
# Watch events
kubectl get events -A -w
# Monitor pod status
kubectl get pods -A
# Check logs
kubectl logs -f -n argocd deployment/argocd-application-controller
```
### Step 4.5: Validate state drift protection
```bash
# Manually edit a resource
kubectl edit deployment cert-manager -n cert-manager
# Change replicas from 1 → 2
# Wait 3 minutes (ArgoCD reconciliation interval)
sleep 180
# Check: should be back to 1 replica
kubectl get deployment cert-manager -n cert-manager
# Expected: 1/1 Ready (reverted by ArgoCD)
# Verify in ArgoCD
argocd app get layer-1-bootstrap
# Expected: Synced status
```
## Phase 5: Cleanup (Week 6)
### Step 5.1: Delete old directories
```bash
# After all apps synced successfully:
rm -rf k8s/talos-ci-cd/
rm -rf k8s/talos-iam/
rm -rf k8s/logging/
rm -rf k8s/monitoring/
rm -rf k8s/storage/
rm -rf k8s/ddb/
rm -rf k8s/sqs/
rm -rf k8s/temporal/
# Keep only: infrastructure, bootstrap, platform, security, applications, data, argocd
```
### Step 5.2: Update CI/CD pipeline
```bash
# Update .forgejo/workflows/
# - Remove: terraform validate/plan/apply
# - Add: kustomize build validation
# - Add: argocd app validation
```
### Step 5.3: Archive old configuration
```bash
# Keep for reference only
mkdir k8s/.archive/
git mv k8s/old-structure-backup k8s/.archive/
git commit -m "archive: old k8s structure (moved to pure GitOps)"
```
## Rollback Plan
**If something breaks during migration:**
```bash
# Option 1: Rollback entire layer
git checkout HEAD~1 -- k8s/bootstrap/
git commit -m "revert: bootstrap layer (investigating)"
# ArgoCD will resync to previous version automatically
# Option 2: Pause ArgoCD sync
argocd app set layer-1-bootstrap --sync-policy none
# Investigate, then re-enable:
argocd app set layer-1-bootstrap --sync-policy automated
# Option 3: Full rollback to pre-migration
git reset --hard <commit-before-migration>
argocd app set homelab-root --sync-policy none
# Manual investigation, then re-enable
```
## Timeline Summary
```
Week 1: Plan & validate (reviews, dependency mapping)
Week 2: Layers 0-1 (infrastructure, bootstrap)
Week 3: Layers 2-3 (platform, security)
Week 3: Layers 4-5 (applications, data)
Week 4: ArgoCD applications + layer definitions
Week 5: Deploy & validate (watch for issues)
Week 6: Cleanup & CI/CD updates
```
**Total: 6 weeks, non-disruptive (all layers coexist during migration)**
