I am working on setting up a home server but I want it to be reproducible if I need to make large changes, switch out hardware, or restore from a failure. What do you use to handle this?

Are you using selfhosted git? Which one?

[–] moonpiedumplings@programming.dev 2 points 6 months ago

I have a similar setup, and even though I am hosting git (forgejo), I use ssh as a git server for the source of truth that k8s reads.

This prevents an ouroboros dependency where flux is using the git repo from forgejo which is deployed by flux...

I've got a forgejo instance setup but I haven't migrated everything to it yet.
