rafaribe's Homelab¶

Welcome to my humble homelab.

This git repo is a place where I can experiment with new technologies and ideas. It's stored in a declarative yaml format, it's also the source of truth to my kubernetes clusters along with other homelab resources.

This repo utilizes infrastructure as code practices and GitOps to declare the infrastructure present in my home.

This allows for a interesting workflow:

Version control any changes allowing for easy refactors, rollbacks and tinkering.
Easy disaster recovery as everything except persistent data is present in this repo.
Try out interesting technologies and have that tracked on version control, allowing me to revisit them later even after deletion.
