mymh.dev — Hybrid GitOps Platform

Author: Niklas Häll (mymh) — https://git.mymh.dev/mymh Home repo: https://git.mymh.dev/mymh/platform-docs

Self-hosted, EU-sovereign hybrid infrastructure for a personal web platform. On-prem source of truth (Forgejo + PostgreSQL) drives GitOps-managed Kubernetes clusters in the cloud (Talos, vCluster, ArgoCD). Built for real, ongoing use: a genuinely working GitOps platform with real recovery and failover; a reusable template shaped for a small-to-medium company (the same approach still works at larger scale, just scaling differently); the actual hosting platform for the author's own, increasingly commercial, projects; and a deliberate way to build real depth with tools worth mastering. It also happens to demonstrate DevSecOps, multi-cluster Kubernetes, observability (incl. DORA metrics), and controlled failover in practice.

Core values

• EU sovereignty — EU-based infrastructure and services only
• Data security — least privilege, encryption in transit, minimal public exposure
• GitOps & DevSecOps — everything declarative, Git as control plane
• Open source first — CNCF/community-governed tooling, LTS versions preferred
• Energy-conscious design — power draw factors into technical choices
