An NixOS cluster deployment tool.

Advantages over existing configuration systems (NixOps/Morph)

  • Modules can configure multiple hosts at once (i.e. for wireguard/kubernetes installation)

  • Secrets can be securely stored in Git (no one except target hosts can decrypt them), automatically regenerated, reencrypted, etc.

  • Automatic rollback on deployment failure, which will work as long as system is passing initrd stage

Flake example

{
  description = "My cluster configuration";
  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs";
    fleet = {
      url = "github:CertainLach/fleet";
      inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
    };
    flake-parts.url = "github:hercules-ci/flake-parts";
  };
  outputs = inputs:
    inputs.flake-parts.lib.mkFlake {inherit inputs;} {
      imports = [inputs.fleet.flakeModules.default];

      fleetConfigurations.default = {
        nixos = {
          # Shared NixOS configuration for all hosts
        };

        imports = [
          ./wireguard
        ];

        hosts.controlplane-1 = {
          system = "x86_64-linux";
          nixos = {
            imports = [
              ./controlplane-1/hardware-configuration.nix
              ./controlplane-1/configuration.nix
            ];
          };
        };
      };
    };
}

Secret generator example

{config, ...}: {
  secrets = {
    gitlab-initial-root = {
      generator = {mkPassword}: mkPassword {};
      owner = "gitlab";
      group = "gitlab";
    };
    gitlab-secret = {
      generator = {mkPassword}: mkPassword {};
      owner = "gitlab";
      group = "gitlab";
    };
  };
  services.gitlab = {
    enable = true;
    initialRootPasswordFile = config.secrets.gitlab-initial-root.secretPath;
    secrets.secretFile = config.secrets.gitlab-secret.secretPath;
  };
}

+== fleet.nix <unset> => 0.1.0
+
+Add version field::
+Set it to 0.1.0; This field specifies which version of fleet do you use for cluster management, breaking changes will also break this value to make sure you read this guide.
+
+Move every secret part::
+Before it was only public and private, now it can be any number of parts.
+
+In your fleet.nix file, look at every record like this:
+[source,nix]
+----
+gitlab-initial-root = {
+	createdAt = "2024-03-01T15:54:32.983358495Z";
+	public = "example";
+	secret = "vp%d6wO#0#D2.../dgCA+v4Gf:YG";
+};
+----
+
+And modify it as following:
+[source,nix]
+----
+gitlab-initial-root = {
+	createdAt = "2024-03-01T15:54:32.983358495Z";
+	public.raw = "<PLAINTEXT>example";
+	secret.raw = ''
+		<ENCRYPTED><Z85-ENCODED>
+		vp%d6wO#0#D2.../dgCA+v4Gf:YG
+	'';
+};
+----
+
+Default encoding was also changed from `Z85` to `base64`. This conversion will be done by fleet automatically.
+
+Update references to secrets in fleet/nixos configurations::
+Instead of `config.secrets.secret-name.secretPath` use `config.secrets.secret-name.secret.path`,
+instead of `config.secrets.secret-name.stableSecretPath` use `config.secrets.secret-name.secret.stablePath`,
+instead of `config.secrets.secret-name.public` use `config.secrets.secret-name.public.data`.
