Katana Homelab

Katana is my personal home server.
This repository contains the Ansible playbooks and configuration files to set it up from bare metal.

Features

• Automated Setup: Uses Ansible for provisioning and configuration.
• Virtualization: Proxmox VE for managing virtual machines and containers.
• Storage:
  • ZFS RAID mirror for data redundancy.
  • Optimized ZFS datasets for media streaming and Proxmox Backup Server (PBS).
• Backups:
  • Proxmox Backup Server for local backups with fast rollback capabilities.
  • Restic for encrypted, offsite backups to S3-compatible storage, synced nightly.
• Security: SSH public key authentication.
• Monitoring & Alerts: Ntfy for notifications on errors and warnings.
• Essential Tools: Pre-configured with common utilities like htop, lm-sensors, etc.

Structure

The setup process is divided into sequential, numbered directories:

• 000-common: Shared Ansible configurations.
• 100-bare-metal-debian: Automated Debian installation with preseed configuration.
• 200-install-proxmox: Ansible playbook for Proxmox VE installation.
• 300-configure-proxmox: Ansible playbook for Proxmox VE post-installation configuration (networking, tools, performance tuning).
• 400-backup-server: Configuration for Proxmox Backup Server and Restic offsite backups.
• 500-monitoring: Configuration for Telegraf and Proxmox VE metrics collection to InfluxDB.

Getting Started

Follow the README.md file within each numbered directory sequentially to deploy the server.

Note: This setup is tailored for a specific environment.
It's open-source, but you'll need to adjust some settings if you want to use it yourself.
