Monolithic repository for my homelab

Navigation

This repo is (mostly) organized into the following structure:

/ # The root contains repository meta-information like .gitignore, .gitlab-ci.yml, .gitmodules, and README.md. 
  docs/ # The /docs directory is for all self-contained documentation that is not tied to a specific service. Service-specific documentation is contained in /$host/config/$service/README.md
    img/ # supporting images for use in docs

  $host/ # There are separate directories for the details and configuration of each host. At the root of `/$host/` we have non-authoritative documentation and reference. This includes printouts of hardware configs (`inxi -b`), host-specific procedure docs, useful scripts, etc.. 
    config/ # Anything in the `/$host/config` directory is used as a source of truth from which hosts pull and apply the defined configuration.
        $service/ # for Docker-enabled hosts each service stack will be configured within a directory
            docker-compose.yml # all services (except minecraft, which needed a more modular system) use docker-compose.yml to define their stack configuration. 
            .env # contains environment variables to be used by multiple containers within a stack
            README.md # if a service stack has documentation specific to itself, it will be contained within this file. This usually contains procedure for interacting with a container and system configuration changes that could not be tracked in code (e.g. /etc/fstab or crontab or /etc/docker/daemon.json)

Getting an SSH Key

  1. TMP=$(echo "$HOME/.ssh/$(echo $HOSTNAME)_id_rsa") && ssh-keygen -b 8192 -t rsa -C "$USER@$HOSTNAME" -f $TMP -N "" && echo "IdentityFile $TMP" > $HOME/.ssh/config && cat $(echo "$TMP").pub
  2. Go to Jafner -> Preferences -> SSH Keys.
  3. Add the pubkey and save.

Pulling Only Relevant Subdir

Per: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4114887

~$ mkdir homelab && cd homelab/
git init
git config core.sparseCheckout true
git remote add -f origin ssh://git@gitlab.jafner.net:2229/Jafner/homelab.git
echo "<deployment name; e.g. server/>" > .git/info/sparse-checkout
git checkout main

Disabling Sparse Checkout

To disable sparse checkout, simply run git sparse-checkout disable. With this, it can also be re-eneabled with git sparse-checkout init. You can use these two commands to toggle sparse checkout. Per: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36190800/how-to-disable-sparse-checkout-after-enabled
