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
I’m not opposed to a ticketing system but I’d want something pretty simple. Last one I tried was GLPI because I thought the inventory mgmt + ticketing would be useful but it was just way too much.
I’m currently using Wiki.js (synced to GitHub) in an attempt to document things. I’ve played with a changelog section but it’s like a stream of consciousness and I’m not real happy with the layout.
That looks cool. I may check that out.
Thanks
