I’m already hosting pihole, but i know there’s so much great stuff out there! I want to find some useful things that I can get my hands on. Thanks!
Edit: Thanks all! I’ve got a lil homelab setup going now with Pihole, Jellyfin, Paperless ngx, Yacht and YT-DL. Going to be looking into it more tomorrow, this is so much fun!
It makes sense in terms of reproducibility.
Imagine if your server gets compromised, you accidentally break it, or you just want to move to a cheaper provider or a different server. Do you want to have to tweak it all over again, and fix bugs that you figured out how to fix 6 months ago and you don’t remember?
I’d rather have some yaml files that do it for me. And it’s a new skill as well.
That makes sense thanks. I did have trouble figuring out where to start with ansible, do you have any advice about that?
You’re welcome!
I’m still an ansible newbie myself. I first heard about it in this video; https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7p9-m4cimg&pp=ygURV29sZmdhbmcgYW5zaWJsZSA%3D
Then I just figured out by googling and reading the docs / stack exchange.
I started by doing something simple, e.g. write an ansible playbook to update a raspberry pi on my network. Then went from there to launch a small VPS, googling each step that I’d normally do to configure a server, and run them all one after the other on ansible.
