Summary

Initial setup of the homelab repository and first service deployment.

Accomplished

Repository Setup

• Created directory structure: docker/, ansible/, docs/, scripts/
• Initialized git repository
• Configured git with personal email (augusto@hermosilla.me)

First Service: soft-serve

• Deployed self-hosted Git server (docker/git/)
• SSH-based with TUI on port 23231
• Homelab repo now self-hosted at ssh://localhost:23231/homelab.git

Documentation

• docs/hardware.md - Mobile and fixed homelab inventory
• docs/services.md - Active and planned services
• docs/tailscale-primer.md - Mesh VPN research
• docs/mobile-homelab.md - Full mobile architecture plan

Hardware Documented

Mobile

• MacBook Air M1 (16GB RAM, 1TB SSD)
• Beryl AX Travel Router (GL-MT3000)
• Samsung A13 (USB tethering)
• Raspberry Pi 5 8GB (PSU in transit)

Fixed

• Mini PC (Intel N150, 12GB RAM, 512GB SSD)
• Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB RAM)
• Old PC (specs TBD)

Decisions Made

• Use soft-serve for private git hosting (maximum geek factor)
• Both mobile + fixed homelab setup
• Headscale on RPi 5 as coordination server (self-contained mobile kit)
• AdGuard Home on RPi 5 for DNS + ad blocking
• MacBook as workstation, RPi 5 as always-on core

Next Steps

• Wait for RPi 5 PSU to arrive
• Flash RPi OS, install Docker on RPi 5
• Deploy Headscale + AdGuard Home on RPi 5
• Configure Beryl AX DHCP reservations
• Join devices to Tailscale mesh
• Plan fixed homelab architecture
