The evolution of my homelab over 1.5 years: from a simple Docker Compose file to a PXE-booted, GitOps-managed multi-node Kubernetes cluster

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/homelab

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS

  • homelab

    Modern self-hosting framework, fully automated from empty disk to operating services with a single command.

    My homelab has gone through many major refactors, from simple Docker Compose, to Proxmox, to OpenNebula, to OpenStack, to Kubernetes on LXD, and now I'm running Kubernetes on bare-metal. The animated diagram above visualizes my homelab development history (you can checkout the repository here github.com/khuedoan/homelab). It was created using Gource and FFmpeg, and you can find the script I used to create the animation here.

  • Gource

    software version control visualization
