I’d like to start doing a better job of tracking the changes I made to my homelab environment. Hardware, software, network, etc. I’m just not sure what path I want to take and was hoping to get some recommendations. So far the thoughts I have are:
A change history sub-section of my wiki. (I’m not a fan of this idea.)
A ticketing system of some sort. (I tried this one and it was too heavy. I’d need to find a simple solution.)
A nextcloud task list.
Self-host a gitlab instance, make a project for changes and track with issues. Move what stuff I have in github to this instance and kill my github projects. (It’s all private stuff.)
I know that several of you are going to say “config as code” and I get it. But I’m not there yet and I want to track the changes I’m making today.
