Hi all, I have my home lab set up as a single git repo. I’ve got all infrastructure as opentofu / ansible configs, and using git crypt to protect secret files (tofu state, ansible secret values, etc).
How would you back up such a system? Keeping it on my self hosted git creates a circular dependency. I’m hesitant to use a private codeberg repo in case I leak secrets. Just wondering what the rest of you are doing.
You pretty much got it. I need a quick way to restore the repo and ideally have git do a self backup. Seems like a cheap VPS may be the way to go
For my own curiosity, how do you perform a build? Is it all done in pipelines, kicked off on change? Do you execute the whole infra build each time you release an update?
Honestly, I just run it from the CLI myself.
I’ve wasted too much time fighting with CI and automation that when I migrated to forjego I didn’t bother to put it in again.
Same. I have spent way more time troubleshooting a pipeline than it saves. I like the idea of automation but laziness prevails.
