This is a personal blog focused on computer software and hardware. Most projects are implementing software and hardware for a homelab. What is a homelab? I would say a homelab could be a single computer or dozens of computers connected in a network. You can also integrate with computers in the Cloud.
This post is focused on where I got started with my homelab many years ago. My lab started with a Raspberry Pi Model B+ in 2014. I installed Raspbian and hooked up a small monitor and battery and had a mobile Linux station. After upgrading to a beefier “server” system in 2017 I decided to repurpose that Pi into a network-wide ad blocker. This was accomplished with the Pi-hole open-source project.
This blog is managed in a private git repository. Posts are created in markdown format and a program called Hugo takes those files and generates a set of HTML and CSS files necessary to run a website on a web server. Example blog I have uploaded an example hugo blog on my personal gitlab profile. I will be outlining the process to create that example blog below. 1. Prerequisites: Hugo and git Hugo: https://gohugo.
This is my first post. This blog will be focused on hybrid cloud technologies. Stay tuned for more. Check the footer of each page for links to my Github and GitLab pages. For more information about the author, see the about page.
