Session 2026-01-13¶

Summary¶

Initial setup of the homelab repository and first service deployment.

Accomplished¶

Repository Setup¶

Created directory structure: docker/, ansible/, docs/, scripts/
Initialized git repository
Configured git with personal email (augusto@hermosilla.me)

First Service: soft-serve¶

Deployed self-hosted Git server (docker/git/)
SSH-based with TUI on port 23231
Homelab repo now self-hosted at ssh://localhost:23231/homelab.git

Documentation¶

docs/hardware.md - Mobile and fixed homelab inventory
docs/services.md - Active and planned services
docs/tailscale-primer.md - Mesh VPN research
docs/mobile-homelab.md - Full mobile architecture plan

Hardware Documented¶

Mobile¶

MacBook Air M1 (16GB RAM, 1TB SSD)
Beryl AX Travel Router (GL-MT3000)
Samsung A13 (USB tethering)
Raspberry Pi 5 8GB (PSU in transit)

Fixed¶

Mini PC (Intel N150, 12GB RAM, 512GB SSD)
Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB RAM)
Old PC (specs TBD)

Decisions Made¶

Use soft-serve for private git hosting (maximum geek factor)
Both mobile + fixed homelab setup
Headscale on RPi 5 as coordination server (self-contained mobile kit)
AdGuard Home on RPi 5 for DNS + ad blocking
MacBook as workstation, RPi 5 as always-on core

Next Steps¶

Wait for RPi 5 PSU to arrive
Flash RPi OS, install Docker on RPi 5
Deploy Headscale + AdGuard Home on RPi 5
Configure Beryl AX DHCP reservations
Join devices to Tailscale mesh
Plan fixed homelab architecture
