HTPC powered by k3s

This is my current HTPC setup. It runs on k3s - a lightweight and easy to install Kubernetes distribution. It includes the following applications:

• Sonarr for tv shows
• Radarr for movies
• Bazarr for subtitles
• Transmission for torrents
• Jackett for torrent tracker searching
• Emby

Applications state (settings / db) and media files are stored in a shared volume of type hostPath. It does not use PVC and currently only works if the whole htpc namespace is deployed in the same node.

Getting Started

Quickstart

# for x86_64
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fabito/htk8s/v0.1/install_x86_64.yaml

# for raspberry pi (ARM)
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fabito/htk8s/v0.1/install_armhf.yaml

The Gitops way

# x86_64 only
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fabito/htk8s/v0.1/install_argocd.yaml

This alternate manifest will install Argo CD along with the htpc application. Then it will monitor this repo for changes and apply them to the cluster accordingly (more specifically the overlays/x86overlay).

You can access the ArgoCD UI at: https://localhost/argocd.

Verifying the installation

All resources are created in the htpc namespace. So if you run:

k3s kubectl get all -n htpc

You should get something similar to:

You should also be able to reach each component's UI using the links below. Don't forget to replace localhost with the IP or the server name running k3s.

App	URI
radarr	http://localhost/radarr
sonarr	http://localhost/sonarr
bazarr	http://localhost/bazarr
jacket	http://localhost/jackett
transmission	http://localhost/transmission
emby	http://localhost/

Check the ingress-route.yaml for more details.

Each module except for Emby is configured to respond on a custom basepath (check the init containers logic for more details).

How it works (WIP)

It uses LinuxServers images.

It uses a hostPath volume to store configuration and media files. It defaults to the /opt/htpc directory
