## The Hook

Flux is the CNCF GitOps reconciler when your source of truth is a git repo and the cluster must converge itself.

## What's Good

Apache-2.0. GitOps Toolkit controllers (source, kustomize, helm, notification, image automation). Continuous reconciliation, multi-tenancy patterns. Skills already on the catalog; gem was missing. Self-host at zero cost on your cluster.

## The Catch

K8s-only GitOps Toolkit; not Kamal/Coolify VM PaaS. You need a working cluster plus RBAC plus secrets story. Prefer current Flux Operator docs over legacy bootstrap blogs.

## Verdict

Apache-2.0 K8s GitOps. Free on-cluster; not a VM deploy tool.
