Homelab

This project is my personal IT homelab initiative for self-hosting and exploring Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) infrastructure. As a technology enthusiast and professional, this project is primarily a practical tool for hosting services. It serves as a playground for engaging with systems technology in functional, intriguing, and gratifying ways. Self-hosting empowers individuals to govern their digital space, ensuring that their online environments reflect personal ethics rather than centralized entities' opaque policies.

Built on Debian Stable, this project utilizes Ansible and Vagrant, providing relatively easy-to-use reproducible ephemeral environments to test infrastructure automation before pushing to live systems.

Quick Start

To configure a local virtual machine for testing, follow these simple steps.

Installation

Clone this repository

git clone https://git.krislamo.org/kris/homelab

Optionally clone from the GitHub mirror instead:

git clone https://github.com/krislamo/homelab

Set the PLAYBOOK environmental variable to a development playbook name in the dev/ directory

To list available options in the dev/ directory and choose a suitable PLAYBOOK, run:
```
ls dev/*.yml | xargs -n 1 basename -s .yml
```
Export the PLAYBOOK variable
```
export PLAYBOOK=dockerbox
```
Clean up any previous provision and build the VM
```
make clean && make
```

Vagrant Settings

The Vagrantfile configures the environment based on settings from .vagrant.yml, with default values including:

PLAYBOOK: default
- Runs a default playbook that does nothing.
- You can set this by an environmental variable with the same name.
VAGRANT_BOX: debian/bookworm64
- Current Debian Stable codename
VAGRANT_CPUS: 2
- Threads or cores per node, depending on CPU architecture
VAGRANT_MEM: 2048
- Specifies the amount of memory (in MB) allocated
SSH_FORWARD: false
- Enable this if you need to forward SSH agents to the Vagrant machine
