Show HN: Proxmox-GitOps: Container Automation Metaframework (Recursive Monorepo)
github.comPS: Might want to post this to /r/homelab and /r/proxmox - I'm sure the people there will love this!
Originally, it was a personal attempt to bring industrial automation and cloud patterns to my Proxmox home server. It's designed as a platform architecture for a self-contained, bootstrappable system - a generic IaC abstraction (customize, extend, .. open standards, base package only, .. - you name it ;-)) that automates the entire infrastructure. It was initially driven by the question of what a Proxmox-based GitOps automation could look like and how it could be organized.
Core Concepts:
- Recursive Self-management: Control plane seeds itself by pushing its monorepository onto a locally bootstrapped instance, triggering a pipeline that recursively provisions the control plane onto PVE.
- Monorepository: Centralizes infrastructure as comprehensive IaC artifact (for mirroring, like the project itself on Github) using submodules for modular composition.
- Single Source of Truth: Git represents the desired infrastructure state.
- Loose coupling: Containers are decoupled from the control plane, enabling runtime replacement and independent operation.
It's a noncommercial, passion-driven project. I'm looking to collaborate with other engineers who share the excitement of building a self-contained, bootstrappable platform architecture that addresses the question: What should our home automation look like?
I'd love to hear your thoughts!
