About

ElectricMonk is a self-hosted infrastructure project. We believe in data sovereignty — your data should live on hardware you control, not in someone else's cloud.

Built on Kubernetes running on bare-metal Gentoo Linux, with encrypted storage, automated backups, and GitOps-driven configuration management.

The Stack

Operating System

Gentoo Linux — compiled from source for maximum control.

Orchestration

Kubernetes with Cilium CNI and Gateway API for ingress.

Storage

Longhorn for persistent volumes with encryption at rest. CNPG for PostgreSQL.

Backups

Velero for cluster state, Longhorn snapshots for volumes, CNPG barman for databases.
