  • homelab

    Terraform provisioner for Kubernetes homelab (by randomcoww)

  • I don't have anything explaining how things are hooked up, but the repo is all terraform and readme steps should bring up the lab. Much of the configuration should be in https://github.com/randomcoww/terraform-infra/blob/master/resources/env.tf

  • bpf-iptables

    An #eBPF and #XDP iptables firewall

  • If you're running kubernetes, I saw this really cool container network ecosystem called polycube you might find interesting (I'm a huge pf/ebpf fan): https://github.com/mbertrone/bpf-iptables

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • polycube

    eBPF/XDP-based software framework for fast network services running in the Linux kernel.

  • This is the greater ecosystem: https://github.com/polycube-network/polycube

  • fedora-coreos-config-custom

    Custom Fedora CoreOS builds for homelab servers and clients

  • If you are using stock CoreOS, installing software can be tricky although you may be able to use ostree now.. I actually build a custom Fedora CoreOS image from https://github.com/randomcoww/fedora-coreos-config-custom and pick packages I want.

  • kayak

    Kayak (PXE-enabled network imaging of OmniOS)

  • Neat ideas. Have you looked into MAAS for PXE booting? It might do a lot of the stuff you're looking for. If that's too heavy, I've also seen a lighter PXE manager called Kayak for OmniOS... it's written in python, so if you wanted to port it, it might not be hard. https://omnios.org/setup/pxe https://github.com/omniosorg/kayak
