Sections
- Hardware
Physical infrastructure, compute, storage, and notable systems used in the lab.
- Network Infrastructure
Network architecture, routing, VLANs, traffic policy, wireless, and observability boundaries.
- Software & Services
Infrastructure services, applications, and software systems running in the homelab.
How to read these notes
Each page carries frontmatter that signals its freshness and intent:
| Field | Values | What it means |
|---|---|---|
status | active | Currently accurate and in use. |
stale | Known to be out of date; kept for reference until rewritten or removed. | |
draft | Work in progress; may be incomplete or unverified. | |
archived | Superseded or decommissioned. Kept as historical record. | |
last_verified | YYYY-MM-DD | Date the content was checked against the real system. Only set when actually verified — omitted rather than guessed. |
A page marked active without last_verified means the author believes it is current but hasn't recently re-checked against live state. Treat stale pages as best-effort references until they are updated.
