  • That’s the direction I’m moving my lab in. Plus a bit of supplemental markdown to keep track of which guides I’m referencing (and which parts can be ignored because I baked it into the terrafom). It’s really nice to know that as long as I tweak the terraform for changes, I don’t have to worry about forgetting what I changed.

  • This. A scrum master’s job should be first and foremost making sure that the dev team has what it needs to get real actual work done. Ideally, the scrum master should be face tanking status/ update meeting, coordinating with outside entities, and ensuring that as few distractions make it to the team as possible.

  • Sonarqube is a kind of like an automated code quality checker that works for a bunch of programming languages. It’s pretty configurable (though I’ve never configured it myself), so it can be set up to check a code base for a wide range of things.

    There’s a couple of different ways to run it, in my experience bigger companies usually have a dedicated server on their internal networks that connects to their CI/CD pipelines so that code gets checked before it gets merged in.

    On a smaller scale, it’s also possible to run locally (either on metal or inside a docker container). From there you’d install a plugin to your IDE of choice.

  • That sounds pretty similar to how I have my network setup:

    • PiHole has conditional forwarding configured (true,192.168.0.0/24,192.168.1.1,lan note: .lan is optional here, I uss it for my internal TLD) to get device names from router
    • PiHole uses Unifi as the upstream DNS and DHCP
    • Unifi uses cloudflare as the upstream DNS
    • Unifi hands out the PiHole as the DNS via DHCP config

    That way I get stats in all the places and can use Unifi for DHCP.

  • That’s kind of awesome! I have a bunch of home lab stuff, but have been putting off buying a domain (I was a broke college student when I started my lab and half the point was avoiding recurring costs- plus I already run the DNS, as far as the WAN is concerned, I have whatever domain I want). My loose plan was to stand up a certificate authority and push the root public key out with active directory, but being able to certify things against Let’s Encrypt might make things significantly easier.

  • I wanted to echo this by saying that my lab stated as 4 bay Qnap NAS and evolved into repurposed consumer hardware as my interests and needs changed. My current server is an Optiplex that I bought for being small, quiet, and hanging lots of cores and my NAS is just my old gaming PC build with an HBA card (for extra SATA lanes) stuffed into a fancy case. A server is any computer that you say is a server (ideally one with functional network connectivity).
