Production Workflows
Battle-tested CI/CD patterns and automation strategies powering a multi-site homelab with 66 build cores across 5 drones.
Active Workflows
Distributed Build Pipeline
66-core swarm compiles Gentoo packages in parallel across 5 drones, reducing build times from hours to minutes.
- Multi-node parallelism
- Auto-failover orchestration
- Binary package caching
- Real-time monitoring
GitOps Infrastructure
Infrastructure state managed through Git. Push to deploy, rollback with git revert, audit trail built-in.
- Declarative configs
- Version-controlled infra
- Automated sync
- Drift detection
Container Orchestration
Docker containers managed across nodes with Portainer, automated updates via Watchtower, health monitoring.
- Multi-host deployment
- Auto container updates
- Resource monitoring
- Stack templates
Tailscale Mesh Network
Zero-config VPN connecting all nodes across geographic locations. Subnet routing bridges isolated networks.
- WireGuard-based
- Subnet routing
- ACL policies
- MagicDNS
Observability Stack
Full-stack monitoring with Prometheus metrics, Grafana dashboards, Uptime Kuma health checks, and Netdata real-time.
- Metrics collection
- Custom dashboards
- Alerting rules
- Log aggregation
Self-Healing Systems
Multi-layer recovery: supervise-daemon restarts, watchdog monitors, cron failsafes, and boot persistence.
- Process supervision
- Watchdog monitors
- Auto-restart
- State persistence
