# 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
