I’d like to start doing a better job of tracking the changes I made to my homelab environment. Hardware, software, network, etc. I’m just not sure what path I want to take and was hoping to get some recommendations. So far the thoughts I have are:
- A change history sub-section of my wiki. (I’m not a fan of this idea.)
- A ticketing system of some sort. (I tried this one and it was too heavy. I’d need to find a simple solution.)
- A nextcloud task list.
- Self-host a gitlab instance, make a project for changes and track with issues. Move what stuff I have in github to this instance and kill my github projects. (It’s all private stuff.)
I know that several of you are going to say “config as code” and I get it. But I’m not there yet and I want to track the changes I’m making today.
Thanks
Ultimately, do whatever you think you’ll be able to keep up with.
The best documentation system is useless if you keep putting it off because it’s too much work.
You are 100% correct. I’m on the quest to find the method that resonates with me that I’ll keep up with.
