Services

Service	Description
Immich	Photo and video management with face recognition
Jellyfin	Media streaming with Intel GPU hardware transcoding
Media Stack	Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, qBittorrent — automated media acquisition
Paperless-ngx	Document management with OCR
Pi-hole	DNS sinkhole with ad blocking and encrypted DNS via dnscrypt-proxy
Grocy	Pantry and grocery management
LubeLogger	Vehicle maintenance tracker
Homepage	Dashboard aggregator
Podsync	Podcast downloader
Archmirror	Local Arch Linux package repository mirror

Infrastructure Stack

Component	Role
Flux CD	GitOps controller — reconciles this repo to the cluster
Traefik	Ingress controller with Let's Encrypt TLS
cert-manager	TLS certificate provisioning (Cloudflare DNS-01)
Authelia	SSO / OIDC provider for protected services
MetalLB	Bare-metal load balancer
NFS Provisioner	Dynamic PVC provisioning backed by Synology NAS
Intel GPU Plugin	Hardware transcoding device plugin (Jellyfin)
SOPS + age	Secret encryption at rest

Storage

Synology NAS — primary storage backend for all services
- Dynamic NFS PVCs via nfs-synology-ssd storage class
- Static NFS PVs for media library and document archives
local-path-provisioner — node-local storage for SQLite databases

Backups

Unified strategy using restic + resticprofile:

Primary: Synology NAS via rest-server container (${BACKUP_LOCAL_HOST}:8000)
Secondary: Backblaze B2 (offsite), synced via resticprofile copy
PostgreSQL: pg_dump init container → restic
SQLite: online backup API → restic
Files/media: NFS mount → restic

Deployment

All changes are deployed by pushing to this repository. Flux CD reconciles on every commit.

# Check reconciliation status
flux get kustomizations

# Force reconciliation
flux reconcile source git flux-system

# Check application status
kubectl get helmreleases -A
kubectl get pods -A

For initial cluster bootstrap, see kubernetes/README.md.

Security

All ingress through Traefik with Let's Encrypt TLS
Secrets encrypted with SOPS + age (decrypted at runtime by Flux)
SSO via Authelia (OIDC) for user-facing services
Per-namespace NetworkPolicies with default-deny + explicit Traefik ingress allow

Provisioning

The cluster is provisioned with Terraform (Proxmox + Talos). See terraform/README.md.
