Welcome!
I’ve decided to restart shrunbr.dev as a place for me to start documenting my homelab journey again. Of course, along with homelabbing I also have other interests so they might end up here too.
What have you been working on?
I have been wanting to play around with container orchestration for awhile and I just recently dove in head first. I’ve explored Kubernetes in the past but something about it just really bothers me, I’m not a huge fan of it. I know that it’s the “de facto” solution but there is another out there that is slowly up and coming…HashiCorp Nomad.
Just before New Years I spun up five Nomad client/server combos each with Consul to run service mesh. I went in with the mindset of “automate everything” and I’ve tried to do just that. In the next coming posts I’ll provide some additional information on my Nomad cluster, how I set it up and how you can as well.
Months ago I also decided to shrink my homelab from a single Dell R720XD to two Minisforum MS-01 boxes. This so far has been one of the greatest decisions I’ve ever made in my lab, you can be on the lookout for a writeup about this as well.
I do have some other stuff in the works or completed as well like a DIY NAS, Stratum 1 NTP Server, etc, etc.
What about thing?
Well, that’s a great question. It’s coming soon! 😉
