Day 43 #100DaysOfHomeLab - Hopefully more time to spend on homelab stuff after this week. - Setting up some old Cisco stuff, so making sure I can get access for starters

- Updated Ansible role to add DNS records for homelab services for pihole - Encrypted secrets using ansible vault Day 41 & 42 #100DaysOfHomeLab

- Grafana is up with pulling metrics from node (system metrics) and pihole exporter. Need to update the way I provision datasources for the container. #100DaysOfHomeLab

Day 39 #100DaysOfHomeLab - Finally fixed pihole, bit of an annoying issue where my tasks adjusted the host's DNS settings before the pihole container finishes its install script. - Started working on setting up simple prometheus service to monitor important things

Day 38 #100DaysOfHomeLab - Pretty crook, so just spent some time troubleshooting permissions issue with Pihole container that prevents web service from working.

Day 37 #100DaysOfHomeLab - Setup Client Bridge using DD-WRT on a left over router to provide connectivity to my new homelab location in garage.

Day 36 #100DaysOfHomeLab - All Unifi devices adopted and updated :). Changing the inform host IP is a real gotcha for the unifi controller running in docker. - Setting up an Edge Router X for future lab use.

Day 35 #100DaysOfHomeLab - Setting up Unifi controller, on an old laptop, on a docker container, using Ansible. - Using a paper clip to try and adopt long forgotten ubquiti devices

Day 34 #100DaysOfHomeLab - Bit of fixing: dnsmasq works on my pihole container, but its web interface doesn't; changing /etc/resolv.conf on the host when pihole goes down causes some issues when I run the ansible role again.

Day 33 #100DaysOfHomeLab - Creating ansible role to setup pihole on an old laptop. Feels like I have done this a few times before.

... Day 32 #100DaysOfHomeLab - Looking at getting a dedicated NAS in the near future. Removed Proxmox and setup TrueNAS scale instead. Planning on using docker to run long lived services like pihole, unifi controller.

Day 31 #100DaysOfHomeLab - Setup Cloudflare tunnels so I can access different machines using ssh and some web services. Results in a rather large config file, so I would like to automate this and see if I can use Azure AD as IdP.

Day 30 #100DaysOfHomeLab - Setting up Cloudflare Tunnels for accessing local services in the homelab. - Looking into setting up Windows Servers for Azure AD sync on Proxmox. Hope to automate this, let me know if there are any good resources.

Day 29 #100DaysOfHomeLab Setting up SOPS with Azure Key Vault to store credentials used in homelab so they can be version controlled - github.com/mozilla/sops. Also, looking at ways to mix homelab with cloudlab? (for cert refresh) due to limited time.

Day 28/100 #100DaysOfHomeLab - Deployed Authentik and setup an application for Harbor using an LDAP provider. Really cool project that solves some Identity Provider needs for homelab. Picture of one of my ESP32s with a few sensors to measure temp/humid/C02 and LED.

Days 24-26 #100DaysOfHomeLab - Busy weekend away from computers :) - Finished deploying Harbor into my K8s cluster using helm cart. Pretty neat project as it gives you container image scanning out of the box. I will write this up after a bit more testing.

Day 23/100 #100DaysOfHomeLab - Looking into harbor (goharbor.io) for an in cluster container registry solution. Have previously used the docker registry. I would like to build and push my own container images within my own network.
