Thanks! I’ll look into garage

Thank you! I know a chunk of the *arr stack isn’t useable anymore.

I’m trying to get the resume experience so that I can actually land an interview! I’ve gotten an offer from every job I’ve ever interviewed for in my life (mid 20’s) but I can’t seem to land DevOps engineering interviews :./

I’ll run a 3-2-1 in time! for now, just getting server #1 set up is my starting point. I have a location for my offsite backup, too, so I think I’m set

Gotcha! I misunderstood, but that makes sense. I believe everything I listed is k8s/k3s compatible with containerd, so hopefully it’s pretty straightforward. I’ll stick that instead of docker for enterprise experience

Sweet! I’ll make sure I throw that in the mix, having a sync later for k8s would be so nice. I think I’m going to run k3s for now, since I don’t have a database style rack, though.

Good points! I’ve set up an Ubuntu server before, didn’t have RAID but passed through my drives and set up Jellyfin and Nextcloud storage in Docker containers using Portainer. Ended up nuking it to go for Proxmox running Ubuntu server + TrueNAS, but wanted to figure out if I could just as easily run full enterprise grade stuff.

I think I’d be capable enough to struggle my way through a working setup, and there seems to be fewer YT tutorials and stuff for this specific use case, but I still believe there’s enough documentation for each piece that I’d be able to get them connected in time.

Also, not to be too dependent on others, but it seems like between this and r/homelab, there’s a pretty good number of people who’d be able to help me find my way should there be one or two things that I just can’t get figured out.

Ahhh I get you. Seems like KeyCloak is great if you’re all in on Red Hat systems, but that Authentik would be a better choice for a wider suite of integrations.

Thats a long list of things to cover, how much free time do you have?

a lot? I’m working about 30 hours/week + wrapping up my undergrad in Computer Engineering online, but should be done with that this year. With that in mind, I need to get as much viable experience as possible in between now and graduation so that I’ll actually be qualified when application time comes

I’ve set up my server before as a remote desktop running Ubuntu, but essentially didn’t really use it other than tinkering. Then I set up a NAS, then nuked it and set up Proxmox + Ubuntu server and would just SSH into it to tinker.

Now that I’ve played the game and I’ve seen that i can do it, I want to dive in the deep end of what enterprise grade stuff should feel like. In terms of certs, I’ve done a few AWS courses from AWS but they all seemed pretty… useless? Almost entirely common sense information from the beginner certs and I learned nothing. So I gave up on that and will be aiming for project experience instead.

upon further review, I think I’m going to just set up everything in Grafana due to the vast utility it provides and it’s enterprise capability and adoption. Any thoughts on replacing a purpose built homelab dashboard with custom built grafana dashs?

Although I’m not sure jf moonlight itself runs in a container.

Pretty sure I can just pass it through when active, so I should be set and not have to split (I believe)

I really want to use HashiCorp Vault for the resume experience, several companies I know use lots of HashiCorp products so while I’m sure it’s clunkier I think it’ll be worth the learning curve

I’ll probably go with KeyCloak since it seems to be the standard enterprise solution, and it’s a Red Hat developed tool so +1 for FOSS. Having SAML experience should also be a good resume boost for me

That’s more for being able to say I have professional CI/CD experience, I was told that’s crucial for landing a DevOps Engineering role

I may be misunderstanding but aren’t k3s a container orchestrator? as in docker containers managed via k3s? So I’d have to use both, and probably eventually set up a shared GPU. For the time being, I’ll likely just run without Moonlight until I feel comfortable getting another card or splitting it

Absolutely sick!!! Love this so much. I’m on a journey to have my own homelab via a k8s setup so that I would have project experience and qualifications for a DevOps engineering job. I’ve also seen people use LocalStack to essentially emulate AWS and set up homeland via LocalStack and k8s to get project experience. That’s next up for my list!

God forbid I said sibling instead of offspring. Lord.

Idk why you’re incredibly bitter, I get your kiddo manipulated other people into taking care of them, but that doesn’t mean everyone else is your child and there’s no exceptions.

Can we at least be on the same page and acknowledge not everyone who uses a label is the same exact person in the same exact situation?

Sounds like someone who’s choosing to be lazy instead of someone who is unable to work. Not the same thing, ignorant to say everyone who uses that label is the same as your sibling

They’re contractors, I’m supposed to approve/deny said contractors

Thank you! Will look into this

They don’t have huge clients, just a steady flow. 3 locations due to small 5-7 person groups per office instead of one big office. Tbh idk why they do it like that lol
