A 12.5-hour overnight session tearing apart the build swarm codebase, finding 25 bugs across 4 components, and deploying fixes to every node before sunrise.
Build drones kept disappearing mid-compile. Silent failures, stale queues, wasted hours. So I taught them to detect their own problems, return unfinished work, and get back in formation.
From mystery drones to NAT complications, here's how we hardened the Gentoo Build Swarm against network chaos and edge cases.
A home lab commander's journey building a distributed compilation system that turned impossible updates into overnight batch jobs. The architecture, the failures, and why I'd never do this in production (except I did).
How a forgotten LXC container infiltrated my build swarm, and the NAT masquerade bug that almost rebooted my gateway. Lessons in zero-trust networking for homelabs.
A week of making the Gentoo build swarm actually reliable. Runaway drones, dead cron jobs, self-healing systems, and the satisfaction of watching it all come together.
