Quick Deploy - Without Azure

Immediate Next Steps (In Order)

Step 1: Verify Proxmox Cluster (5 minutes)

# Test connections
./scripts/utils/test-proxmox-connection.sh

# Check cluster status (on Proxmox hosts)
ssh root@192.168.1.206 "pvecm status"
ssh root@192.168.1.49 "pvecm status"

Step 2: Create First VM - Cloudflare Tunnel (15 minutes)

Using Proxmox Web UI:

1. Access: https://192.168.1.206:8006
2. Create VM:
   • Name: cloudflare-tunnel
   • OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
   • CPU: 2 cores
   • RAM: 4GB
   • Disk: 40GB
   • Network: vmbr0 (or VLAN 99 if configured)
   • IP: 192.168.1.60

Or using Terraform:

cd terraform/proxmox
# Edit terraform.tfvars with your values
terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply

Step 3: Configure Cloudflare Tunnel (10 minutes)

On Cloudflare Tunnel VM:

# SSH to VM
ssh ubuntu@192.168.1.60

# Install cloudflared
curl -L https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared/releases/latest/download/cloudflared-linux-amd64 -o /usr/local/bin/cloudflared
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/cloudflared

# Load tunnel token from .env (copy from your local machine)
# Or set manually:
export TUNNEL_TOKEN="sRwHkwQO5HfD6aK0ZzdV8XHsAyG_DLe_KCjv2bRP"

# Quick start with tunnel token (simplest method)
sudo cloudflared service install $TUNNEL_TOKEN

# Or configure manually (see DEPLOYMENT_WITHOUT_AZURE.md)

Step 4: Create K3s VM (10 minutes)

Using Proxmox Web UI:

1. Create VM:
   • Name: k3s-master
   • OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
   • CPU: 4 cores
   • RAM: 8GB
   • Disk: 80GB
   • IP: 192.168.1.188

Install K3s:

ssh ubuntu@192.168.1.188
curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | sh -
sudo k3s kubectl get nodes

Step 5: Create Git Server VM (10 minutes)

Using Proxmox Web UI:

1. Create VM:
   • Name: git-server
   • OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
   • CPU: 4 cores
   • RAM: 8GB
   • Disk: 100GB
   • IP: 192.168.1.121

Deploy Gitea:

ssh ubuntu@192.168.1.121
docker run -d --name=gitea \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -p 2222:22 \
  -v gitea_data:/data \
  gitea/gitea:latest

Quick Commands Reference

Test Connections:

./scripts/utils/test-proxmox-connection.sh
./scripts/utils/test-cloudflare-connection.sh

Create VMs with Terraform:

cd terraform/proxmox
terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply

Deploy Services:

# Kubernetes services
kubectl apply -f gitops/infrastructure/

# Blockchain services
helm install besu ./gitops/apps/besu -n blockchain

Estimated Timeline

• Day 1: Proxmox cluster, Cloudflare Tunnel, K3s
• Day 2: Git server, observability, base services
• Day 3: HC Stack services, monitoring, testing
