Managing the home lab cluster

Status

This page is a placeholder for the operational side of the home lab cluster.

Idea

The interesting part of a cluster is not only how it is created, but how it stays understandable and recoverable. The notes will document the boring work: configuration, upgrades, backups, alerts, debugging, and failure recovery.

Planned notes

• infrastructure as code and bootstrap

• GitOps deployment flow

• storage and backups

• monitoring and alerting

• routine maintenance and incident recovery
