Homelab Documentation

Welcome to the homelab infrastructure documentation. This site is generated from the homelab monorepo using mkdocs-material.

Published at: hldocs-c0acdec9.pages.dev

Changes under docs/ or mkdocs.yml on main auto-deploy via GitHub Actions to Cloudflare Pages (hldocs-c0acdec9.pages.dev). Local preview: mkdocs serve (see runbook).

What's Here

Section Description
Architecture ADRs, live network/firewall, lab audit, OS patching
Hosts Per-host docs — index table + key hosts (prox, infra-services)
Services AdGuard + links to services/*/README.md in repo
Appliances Network gear, NAS, managed appliances
Customer Apps Apps with their own deploy pipelines
Security Register Tracked findings and remediation status
Runbooks Operational procedures
Journal Check-ins and documentation validation evidence
Postmortems Incident write-ups
Bus Factor What someone else needs to know to keep the lights on

Key Principles

  • Inventory is the source of truth. Hosts, services, and networks are defined in inventory/ YAML files. Generators produce Ansible inventory, Prometheus targets, Homepage config, and doc stubs from that single source.
  • main is production. ansible-pull reconciles from main every 30 minutes. Coordinated OS patches run weekly from infra-services (Phase 8). All changes go through PRs.
  • Secrets are encrypted in git. SOPS + age, with keys stored in 1Password.
  • Entity boundaries matter. The repo manages different things differently — see the entity class table in PLAN.md.
  • PLAN.md — master plan and execution spec
  • Adding a Service — how to onboard a new service (Phase 4+)
  • Secrets — bootstrap and rotation procedures (Phase 2+)
