I love stuff like this, I’ve learned so much over the years doing things like this outside of the work environment where everything needs a reason e.g. https://github.com/CraigJPerry/home-network https://github.com/CraigJPerry/home-network - junk hacking for fun Prioritising time for this kind of thing seems to go in cycles for me. E.g. i remember spending a few weeks back around 2005 setting up a home lab “just so”. I still have the notebook i wrote up at the time. Loads of knowledge in there i’ve since forgotten about setting up lvm on aix hosts with smitty and pinouts for converting cat-5 & db9’s into null modem cables for managing cisco ios on old switches. I can barely remember config t and enable mode these days... There’s a real satisfaction to be had from this kind of thing. Serial consoles on everything, jumpstart configs dialled in just right to be able to rebuild any node on the home network hands off. Then it was around 2013 the next time i got an urge (the ansible repo above) then most recently it’s been k8s experiments. Interesting it’s about 7 year cycles.
