I have been seeing the cool rigs on here and have been inspired to get back into it, but would be more motivated if there was some practical use. Are there any resources that provide project ideas and tutorials?
Local gitlab instance for…source code versioning/storage/git + CI/CD - my home services are mainly deployed as containers.
prometheus/alertmanager/grafana/loki/node-exporter/promtail for observability + SSH violation - alertmanager sends instant messages to my external IM.
guacamole - remote access to my windoze from browser.
CFSSL - easiest cert generation. I wrote my own Go client to interact with it to create then store my cert/keys into HashiCorp Vault.
OMV - easiest to use NAS software.
mattermost - your own IM + you can extend it by writing your own slash commands.
coreDNS/pihole/powerDNS-recursor - my DNS infrastructure. CoreDNS allows you to write your own modules so you can extend the functionality beyond what is already published as official modules. PiHole for DNS filtering. CoreDNS is authoritative nameserver, powerDNS-recursor for recursive/cache DNS server.
