Welcome to the Automation Hub! This is the central repository where I share scripts, automation tools, Ansible playbooks, and custom workflows used in my homelab. Whether you're looking to optimize your home network, streamline server management, or explore innovative automation techniques, this hub is designed to provide the tools and knowledge to get you started.
The Automation Hub serves as a resource for:
Automation is key to managing complex environments efficiently, reducing manual effort, and ensuring consistency across deployments. In my homelab, automation has allowed me to:
Scripts shared here are tested in real-world scenarios and focus on:
Server Provisioning: Automate the setup of new servers, ensuring they are configured correctly from the start.
For guidance on setting up servers before automation, check out:
Network Configuration: Simplify complex network setups and optimize your home or work network infrastructure.
Application Deployment: Quickly deploy applications with minimal input, reducing downtime and configuration errors.
Maintenance and Monitoring: Keep your servers running smoothly with tools for regular updates, log analysis, and system checks.
Ansible playbooks are tailored for:
Homelab Environments: Perfect for managing multiple systems, ensuring your home lab is efficient and up-to-date.
Need help getting your servers ready for playbooks? Start with:
VLANs and Firewall Rules: Simplify the management of complex network setups, ensuring secure and optimized traffic flow.
Containerized Applications: Deploy applications like Plex and Pi-hole in Docker or other container runtimes with just a few commands.
Service Configuration: Streamline the setup of services like Nextcloud, Plex, and Pi-hole, minimizing downtime and configuration errors.
Collaboration is key to building a robust automation resource. If you have ideas, suggestions, or scripts to share, feel free to reach out or submit them for inclusion in the hub.
