A host-to-iDrive S3 stage was added here and is now removed. It would have written the same data into the same `backup-all` bucket that the TrueNAS cloud-sync task already fills -- duplicate storage, two writers to one prefix, for no additional coverage. Offsite to business-owned storage was already solved: the rsync feeds /mnt/glacier/skudakcloud and TrueNAS cloud-syncs that to Skudak's own iDrive e2 account. The earlier note in skudak/cloud.yml proposed adding S3 *and then dropping the rsync* -- replacement, not addition -- and building both was a misreading of it. If offsite is ever moved onto this host it must REPLACE the rsync, not run beside it. Settle first whether the TrueNAS -> iDrive leg is independently verifiable; keeping this chain means trusting it. Also removes the now-orphaned /etc/backup_s3 credential file. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Deploy Home
There's no place like home!
Just as Dorothy managed the simple task of clicking her heels together, the desire for an equally simple one-button push deployment was in my heart. Thus, this repository was made.
Ansible
Ansible, along with double encrypted secrets, deploys the necessary configurations to make the home fit for certain needs and desires. Namely, having access to my home from anywhere, securely, and a self-hosted CI server that easily ties into existing workflows.
Makefile
The makefile is primarily used as a wrapper script to ensure that necessary
files, such as the secret vault password file, are provisioned as part of this.
One such addition to the task is utilizing dependency pinning through the
utilization of Python's virtualenv to lock down the specific dependency
versions within the requirements.txt file. This, ideally, prevents any
deployment issues with dependency version woes (e.g. version conflicts, major
updates in newest versions, etc.)
