My homelab in the high country
I run it on three principles: prefer boring, prefer recoverable, prefer documented. Living on acreage with imperfect internet makes “own your infrastructure” less ideology and more weather-planning.
Principles I keep returning to:
- Prefer boring. Exciting infrastructure pages you at 3am.
- Prefer recoverable. Anything I can’t rebuild from notes in an afternoon is a liability, not a convenience.
- Prefer documented. If it isn’t written down, it doesn’t really run here.
Evergreen: I tend this as the rack changes.
