Tips for Building a Home Dev Lab Environment

Asked By TechExplorer42 On

I'm building a home/dev lab setup using Proxmox, and I'm excited to hear your thoughts! My plan is to eventually create a hybrid system that blends my on-premises environment with AWS. I'm looking for tips on what to include, how to manage resources efficiently, or any general advice that could be useful as I build everything from the ground up. So far, I've created some Ansible roles for managing LXC and VM creation, deploying GitLab, and establishing high availability using ZFS shared pools. My next steps involve learning Terraform, Packer, and CloudInit. For my CI/CD pipeline, I'm leaning towards GitLab runners, and I'm considering Zabbix with Grafana for monitoring, also set up through Ansible. What do you guys think?

Remember, outside of Kubernetes, most container solutions are pretty niche now. Just make sure you have a solid community for whatever tech you choose!

Definitely check out Terraform! It makes resource management a breeze and helps you define your infrastructure as code, which is super handy for hybrid environments.

Start with the basics! Get a Dockerfile up and running for your app, and use version control for your packages. Once that's smooth, consider deploying in EKS with Kubernetes. But honestly, start with Docker to keep things simple.

If you really want to challenge yourself, try setting up OpenStack without using an orchestrator. It’s a deeper dive into managing cloud resources.
