Railiance Bootstrap
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-bootstrap) is the 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-bootstrap.git cd railiance-bootstrap -
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.
