## Pull full context
```bash
# Clone all repos for full picture
git clone ssh://git@100.85.209.116:2222/kenpat/homelab-mastery.git ~/homelab-mastery
git clone ssh://git@100.85.209.116:2222/kenpat/study-tracker.git ~/study-tracker
git clone ssh://git@100.85.209.116:2222/kenpat/obsidian-vault.git ~/obsidian-vault
```

## Homelab Quick Facts
- 9 public subdomains at kitestacks.com behind Cloudflare Tunnel
- Active-active failover: monk + kscloud1 both serve all 9 services
- SSO via Authentik (shared Postgres+Redis on kscloud1 over Tailscale)
- Portal (www.kitestacks.com) is custom nginx static site with Python metrics API
- Forgejo runs on monk at gitforge.kitestacks.com (SSH port 2222)

## Current In-Progress Tasks
- samurai Obsidian setup: vault cloned, plugins (Git + Pomodoro Timer) still need to be installed manually
- Portainer SSO: Authentik side done, pending Cloudflare tunnel hostname + Portainer OAuth UI config
- Oracle Cloud migration: kscloud1 (Hetzner) to be replaced by Oracle VPS (no firm date)
- Phase 2: Obsidian mind map → HTML mind map sync for homelab portal

## Study Log (A+ Core 2)
- Started: 2026-06-11 9:15 PM
- Diagnostic: 50% on Sybex (cold, no prior study)
- Next test: CompTIA CertMaster (week of 2026-06-16)
- Full log: ~/study-tracker/certifications/a-plus-core2.md

## Security Rules
- Never commit IPs, ports, or passwords to any Forgejo repo
- Use placeholders: <IP_REDACTED>, <port>, <REDACTED>
- .env files never committed
