Homelab

A deliberately non-standard, highly available (etcd) k3s cluster built from upcycled and legacy hardware, running over an enterprise Ruckus switch sourced from a local Goodwill.

Infrastructure

  • Orchestration: k3s with etcd for HA
  • Storage: Longhorn distributed block storage
  • Networking: Ruckus enterprise switch, Tailscale mesh VPN with dual-mode local/remote DNS
  • Ingress: Tailscale Ingress integration

Self-hosted Services

  • Gitea — git hosting
  • Harbor — container registry
  • Kanboard — project management
  • code-server — VS Code in the browser
  • LLMs — local inference for development and experimentation - including 'Misanthropic', my custom-tuned abliterated Nemotron fork trained on a corpus of outsider philosophers and intellectuals - e.g. Kant, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Le Guin, etc.

Dev Environment

Editor & Terminal

  • NeoVim, VS Codium (local + code-server remote)
  • Fira Code with ligatures, although I'm coming around to IBM Plex Mono

Languages & Tools

  • Go, TypeScript, Java, Python
  • Next.js, React, Tailwind CSS
  • Docker, k3s, Helm, ArgoCD

Tech Library

A lending library of upcycled and repaired devices — phones, tablets, laptops, wearables — freely lent or gifted to folks without adequate access to computing devices for education, employment, or simply equity. Includes maintenance, computer competency, and software engineering tutelage as I'm able.
