Pathetic attempts to invent bicycle and fix something, that does not require to be fixed.

My way to success (have no any idea about success rate ) come across idea to create CV site. It’s simple to do it: wordpress, another docker container, nginx and DNS, seems to be simple. But, as here we are discussing about overengineering of any basic tasks, we keen to create pure mixture of homelab essentials, we will need Kubernetes, Gitlab and something in between.
As a part of endless way of homelab improvement, one day or another you should come to hardware update topic. So, this moment has come to me.
As every “bright” idea is coming from need, this one is a good example. In previous opus was performed an attempt to explain how to create network issues without need with PiHole on top, but now it was a different kind of need – I have to control my overgrown homelab without affect on my relatives.
Some time ago far from here and close to there, one of the first container that has been implemented in my docker environment was PiHole to filter traffic, get rid of ads and improve quality of internet life for me and family.
It was a dream, and later it comes as something that I can do, at least in scale of home environment. Quite obviously, solution should be simple, reliable and not consume every byte of my server’s memory.
This story started some time ago with intention to learn a bit about buzz words and their influence to modern word. On other hand all of the applications working for a while on Docker, and from this side come another problem. With growing up container infrastructure at home lab appeared problem with resources and upsetting performance of Hyper-V VM (yes, it still exist).
But, during self-isolation and without annoying screams of the neighbors, office rats around the globe decided to switch to the old school, just because they can. And being a part of this boring society, we come to the question – shall we?
уже получается, что нужно бы вернуться в рабочее и продуктивное русло, но что-то не случается, все еще. Тем не менее, мозг уже начинает намекать на то, что пора начинать писать то, что никому и никогда не пригодится.
Собственно, пытаясь восстановить хронологию событий, приходит мысль, что все это было зря. Как ни странно – это про попытки на шару собрать что-то, что будет соотвествовать нынешним реалиям с точки зрения проецирования картинок из глубин компьютера на несколько монитров.
