The last few months I’ve made it a goal to remove manual steps in my home lab’s setup and really embrace the idea of immutable infrastructure. No more servers laying around which are constantly logged into for making major changes. If something isn’t working then delete the whole server immediately and reprovision it with minimal steps. I’m writing all of this down as sort of a tutorial, not to follow from end to end, but to gain inspiration for what is truly possible in a home lab environment with some off the shelf tools.
