Flux

Before installing Flux2, secret decryption has to be set up. age is used to encrypt secrets.

Create the flux-system namespace and create the secret containing the age private key that can decrypt the secrets in this repository using the following commands:

kubectl create namespace flux-system

cat age.agekey |
kubectl create secret generic sops-age \
--namespace=flux-system \
--from-file=age.agekey=/dev/stdin

Bootstrap Flux2 afterwards with

flux bootstrap git --url=ssh://git@github.com/clrxbl/crunchy.social --branch=main --ssh-key-algorithm ed25519 --path=base

Secrets

Ensure that you have the sops CLI utility installed. Aslong as your current working directory is somewhere in this repository, sops should pick up on the .sops.yaml file and be able to encrypt Kubernetes secrets with the public key we use.

Example scenario for encrypting a new secret:

# Create an example secret.yaml file
cat <<EOF > ./secret.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: discord-webhook
  namespace: flux-system
stringData:
  address: https://discord.com/webhook-url-here
type: Opaque
EOF

# Encrypt the stringData in-place
sops --encrypt --in-place secret.yaml

For the secrets in base/flux-config/secrets use sops --decrypt --input-type=dotenv --output-type=dotenv cluster-secrets.env.encrypted > cluster-secrets.env and sops --encrypt --input-type=env cluster-secrets.env > cluster-secrets.env.encrypted && rm cluster-secrets.env
