Continuous Integration/Continuous delivery is a great thing for software engineers, but is this something that homelabbers can take advantage of? Absolutely! Some of the tooling around CI/CD can be of major benefit to automation within your homelab, and in this episode Jay and Tom will give you some thoughts on how it can be implemented.
Netdata is an awesome monitoring solution that’s easy to set up, and has a ton of features. Jay had a chance to test it out recently, and Tom and Jay share their thoughts. Also, we’ll talk about some new software releases, why static leases are greater than static IP’s (well, Jay seems to think so anyway). In addition, some viewer questions will be answered.

Rocky Linux is an enterprise Linux distribution that’s an attractive option for those that prefer CentOS as it used to be, before the recent change to CentOS Stream.

We love receiving feedback from our audience, and in this episode Jay and Tom will answer some questions that came in. Also, we’ll mention ChatGPT because it may actually have an interesting Homelab use-case.
Should you expose your Homelab services to the public Internet? Normally, that will also expose your services to threat actors as well. However, sometimes public access is required for the use-case of a server. Historically, this has been a complicated and debated topic – consisting of technologies such as VPN, Dynamic DNS, and others. Now, Cloudflare has a solution – Cloudflare Tunnels. In this video, Jay and Tom discuss this feature of Cloudflare and will help you determine if it’s a good fit for your homelab.
When building a new virtual or physical server, doing everything manually is a waste of time. With an image or template, you can have some of your recurring tasks already set up on the image – and then every instance you create from that template will have all of those tweaks already made. But how far should you go with this default setup? What are some of the caveats that you might run into? In this episode, Jay and Tom discuss creating server images/templates and the related shenanigans you may run into while doing so.
As most of us homelabbers are aware by now, automation is a very good thing – repeating (and sometimes tedious) tasks can be automated, allowing us to focus on things that are better uses of our time. But Automation itself seems to have its own mindset, especially when it comes to how you go about approaching some of the challenges. In this episode, Jay and Tom discuss the Automation Mindset.

Automation isn’t just for the Enterprise – it’s an important aspect of your Homelab as well. It can make the difference between spending hours setting something up, or just a few minutes. In this episode, Jay and Tom discuss some strategies and goals around automation, as well as some tools that can help us out with that.
We chat a lot about new and cutting edge technologies, but in this episode we talk about what has came before, and why it’s still cool today! This episode features Veronica from Veronica Explains. It was a very fun episode, don’t miss it!
