Hello, how do you document your home lab? Whether it’s a small server or a big one with firewall and more nodes. I have a small pc with Proxmox and there I have a VM with OpnSense. After I’ve entered my VPN as a interface in OpenSense, I noticed that I slowly lose the overview with the different rules that I have built in my firewall. And I know that my setup is relatively easy in comparison to others here in this community. I want to have a quick Overview at the various VMs, like the Lxc container, Docker containers that I have in this and the IP addresses that I have assigned to them. I search for a simple an intuitiv way for beginners.
i second this
i haven’t gotten around to looking into something like terraform/ansible yet, and currently rely on a series of setup.sh scripts and docker-compose files
i have a single master setup.sh at the root of my homelab which basically just outlines which scripts i need to run and in what order in order to get things back up and running from zero
i only user my README.md for any non scriptable stuff (such as external services i rely on such as cloudflare/vpn providers, etc)
