Author the repository's INTENT: the cluster runtime layer — turning hardened servers into a healthy, ready-to-use orchestration platform for workloads, configured to a consistent baseline and proven healthy before higher layers deploy onto it. Kept self-coherent and reference-free: describes this repository's own purpose at the abstract, stable level, with no external project or dependency-product references.

Railiance Cluster
Opinionated Infrastructure-as-Code framework for reproducible, self-reliant systems.
Railiance is an opinionated Infrastructure-as-Code framework —
think Rails for Ops: convention over configuration, reproducibility first.
This repo (railiance-cluster) is the cluster runtime entry point:
from two bare Linux servers, a Git repo, and credentials, you can rebuild
a fully automated Kubernetes-based environment.
🚀 Quick Start
-
Clone this repo
git clone <your-gitea-url>/railiance-cluster.git cd railiance-cluster -
Configure Gitea access
Edit~/.railiance_gitea.confwith your server URL, username, and token.
(Never commit this file!) -
Bootstrap a host
Run the Ansible playbooks inansible/to set up k3s, Helm, kubectl. -
Deploy baseline services
Usehelm/charts to roll out essential services (GitOps, monitoring, etc.). -
Validate
Check the automated tests intests/to confirm infra health.

🌍 Vision
Railiance aims for self-reliant infrastructure:
automation you can rebuild from scratch, with calmness and clarity.
From bare metal to resilient clusters — in one repo.
