Homelab improvements — plan brief

How to use this: Don't read everything. Pick something that sounds interesting and say it in chat — e.g. "let's talk about backups" or "TB-003". We'll have a short conversation first. You can do, defer, drop, or change any item.

Status: Draft · Host: valhalla


Talk first — plan level

Before any phase or task, we should answer:

  1. What feels urgent? Backup? Security? Finishing romhacks? Something else entirely?
  2. What can wait or die? Throwing items out is success — tell me what doesn't interest you.
  3. How do you want to work? One item per session, or a theme (e.g. "media day")?

What we decided (plan level)

Priority theme Quick wins complete (TB-001005, TB-002004, TB-033) — next: TB-006 auth, cleanup, or finish-started
Explicitly dropped (none yet)
Notes Quick wins shipped 2026-06-11 (51acb44 + follow-ups). Recyclarr @daily; infra pinned; jd + LAN lockdown on minio/homarr/docs.

Menu — pick one to talk about

Each link opens an interview-first task brief. The conversation is the task.

Background (optional — skip if overwhelming)

Homelab is ~50 containers, 15 stacks, Caddy ingress, git-push deploys. Quick wins (TB-001005, TB-002004, TB-033) done 2026-06-11. Main gaps: TB-006 Authentik rollout, romhacks handoff (TB-007), cleanup items.

Repo conventions: stack.env secrets, edge network, internal_only for LAN admin UIs, ./scripts/gen-bookmarks.ps1 after Caddy changes.
