I’ve been on parental leave for the past few months (yay, Norway!), meaning that I’ve been away from work for the longest stretch of time since I started working full time back in 2009 or so. During the leave, I’ve been fiddling with a new homelab, since I’ve wanted to try to up my infrastructure game.

More info on the homelab itself will be coming, but I’ve already learned a lot, and thought that others might like to read about things like how to automate setting up a full Kubernetes (using k3s) environment using the industry-standard tools like Terraform and Ansible.

I also enjoy having some small side-projects exploring proper microservice architecture, so I’ll probably write a bit about those as well.

If anyone actually reads this post, I hope to see you again next time. The first proper post will be a shallow delve into disk performance considerations when provisioning virtual machines in Proxmox.

In the meantime, my homelab repository will contain all raw data, configuration, scripts and resources used: homelab@github
