This project demonstrates the deployment of Firefly III, a personal finance management application, on a Kubernetes cluster. The deployment is managed using ArgoCD, a popular continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes.

The project is designed to run Firefly III within a Kubernetes environment, utilizing the following components:

• ConfigMap: Manages configuration data for Firefly III.
• Deployment: Defines the Firefly III application deployment, including its container specifications and update strategies.
• Service: Exposes the Firefly III application within the Kubernetes cluster and optionally to external clients.
• PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC): Manages storage for Firefly III to ensure data persistence across pod restarts.
• Secret: Stores sensitive information such as passwords and API keys securely.
• Ingress: Configures external access to the Firefly III application, routing traffic from outside the Kubernetes cluster to the service.

1. Prepare Your Kubernetes Cluster: Ensure you have a Kubernetes cluster up and running. This setup uses Talos as the operating system and ArgoCD for deployment management.

2. Configure ArgoCD:

   • Connect ArgoCD to your Git repository containing the Firefly III manifests.
   • Define the necessary projects and roles in ArgoCD to manage the deployment.

3. Deploy Firefly III:

   • Apply the Kubernetes manifests for Firefly III, including the ConfigMap, Deployment, Service, PVC, Secret, and Ingress.
   • Monitor the deployment using ArgoCD to ensure all resources are correctly applied and synchronized.

• Automated Deployment: Utilize ArgoCD to automate the deployment process and manage application lifecycle.
• Persistent Storage: Ensure data is stored persistently using Kubernetes PVC.
• Secure Secrets: Manage sensitive information securely using Kubernetes Secrets.
• External Access: Configure Ingress to provide external access to the Firefly III application.

• Personal Finance Management: Use Firefly III to track and manage personal finances, including income, expenses, and financial goals.
• Educational Purposes: Learn about deploying applications on Kubernetes and managing them with ArgoCD.

Contributions are welcome! Please submit issues or pull requests to the GitHub repository. Ensure to follow best practices and test changes in a staging environment before applying them to production.
