Create and Initialize Cluster Repository

To deploy a Tarook cluster, you need to create a git repository which will serve as your cluster repository:

1. Create an empty directory as your cluster repository:

   $ git init my-cluster-repository
   $ cd my-cluster-repository
   

2. Initialize the cluster repository:

   $ nix run "git+https://gitlab.com/alasca.cloud/tarook/tarook#init" -- openstack
   

   Hint

   If you want to initialize Tarook from a specific branch or tag, do:

   $ nix run "git+https://gitlab.com/alasca.cloud/tarook/tarook#init" -- -b <branch> openstack
   

   This init script will:

   • Add all necessary submodules.

   • Copy a configuration template to ./config/ if no config exists in the cluster repository yet.

   • Update .gitignore to current standards.

   • Add a .envrc template

3. Setup your environment variables:

   1. User specific variables (if not already exists):

      Copy the template located at managed-k8s/templates/yaook-k8s-env.template.sh to ~/.config/yaook-k8s/env.

      $ cp managed-k8s/templates/yaook-k8s-env.template.sh ~/.config/yaook-k8s/env
      

   2. Make the cluster- and user-specific minimal changes to ./.envrc and ~/.config/yaook-k8s/env.

   3. Make sure they have taken effect by running direnv allow.
