FoxDen core

This is the monorepo to control the FoxDen homelab pretty much in its entirety.

A from-zero setup of router, router-backup or redfox is currently impossible. Hence we keep regular backups of those devices around.

I am not sure whether I plan to instrument RouterOS enough to make this possible or not, especially since dynamic portions of RouterOS config, such as DynDNS keys, DNS entries and even firewall rules are already under management.

TODO: Not-yet automated update cycles

  • Every GitHub release artifact download where upstream does not have a digest (likely big files, currently carvera-controller and njs/acme.js)
  • ZFS Linux kernel lag-behind
  • Kanidm version in nix
  • Anything RouterOS

Notes

  • zfs must be mountpoint=legacy
  • DO NOT use /var/run, always use /run, or the entire OS explodes
