This repository contains the configuration for my home lab servers and network.
Prerequisites:
- vagrant version
2.2.7or later - ansible version
2.8.5or later - ansible-lint version
4.2.0or later
- Run
make run/remoteto execute the playbook.
- Run
make vm/startto start the virtual machines. - Run
make run/virtualto execute the playbook.
Run make vm/stop to stop the virtual machines and make vm/remove to remove them.
The primary goals of this project are...
- to have a highly-available home lab, with no SPOF (Single Point of Failure)
- to have a production grade kubernetes cluster.
- to learn and have fun.
I have 4 physical machines plugged into 1 switch. One server is used as a router/gateway, this server handles the IPv4 NAT, VLAN, DHCP, DNS and VPN. The other machines are used in a kubernetes cluster with one master and two workers.
I have one APC UPS that handles all the power for the system. It keeps all the gear running during a power outage. When the battery hits a critical level all the servers are gracefully shutdown using apcupsd.

- VLAN10
10.10.0.0/24, is used for infrastructure (routers, switches, ups, etc). - VLAN20
10.20.0.0/24, is used for servers. - VLAN30
10.30.0.0/24, is used for management. - VLAN40
10.40.0.0/24, is used for DMZ services that need to be exposed to the internet. - VLAN50
10.50.0.0/24, is used for trusted clients. - VLAN60
10.60.0.0/24, is used for untrusted clients.
The VPN runs on the 10.70.0.0/24 subnet and the virtual cluster network for kubernetes on the 10.80.0.0/16 subnet.
