Deploy your own alpstack

Coming soon

A step-by-step guide to standing up your own alpstack from scratch, aimed at third-party deployers. This is the reusability deliverable and will grow as site-specifics are factored out of the stack.

Planned outline:

1. Prerequisites — hardware/VMs, DNS, an object-storage bucket, a secrets vault.
2. Layer 1 — Talos — machine configs, disk encryption, bootstrap.
3. Layer 2 — Platform — Cilium, Longhorn, cert-manager, Sealed Secrets, monitoring.
4. Layer 3 — Addons — databases and shared services.
5. Layer 4 — openDesk — the helmfile render pipeline and production-grade backing services.
6. Make it yours — the values you must change (domains, storage, mail).

Until this lands, the per-repo READMEs and wikis carry the bootstrap detail.
