I am using my experience as a professional sysadmin to make it all work and provide various services that are useful to me and people that are close to me. As a good sysadmin, I am trying to be lazy and build the most self maintainable solution, with as little maintenance overhead as possible. It used to rely on mostly gentoo (and some optional openbsd) servers interconnected with point to point openvpn links. Services ran inside lxd on alpine linux containers. Communications between all those services work thanks to dynamic routing with bird and ospf along those openvpn links. I made extensive use of ansible to orchestrate all that, deploy the containers and manage them. -Even though it worked really well for years, I do not plan to blog a lot about this setup... but that can change if someone interested writes me at julien -DOT- dessaux -AT- adyxax -DOT- org.

On this new documentation site I plan to focus on how I am migrating the most stable and boring parts on OpenBSD hosts (so without containerisation). The less important or more changing services will be migrated on [kubernetes]({{< relref "/tags/kubernetes/" >}}) as a learning experience. Even though my custom setup with lxd on gentoo has always worked well it still was a rather unusual design that sometimes required maintenance following updates. Even if I am proud of its stability and reliability... It is not good for me to not look deeper into new technologies. Gentoo, OpenBSD and LXD is not the most popular combination out there. I will not abandon it completely (I do not imagine my laptop running anything other than gentoo), but working on more employable skills will do me good. ## Why write about it? -As a system and network administrator I believe I have a deep understanding of linux and other unix like operating systems, networking and storage, and even with all that knowledge and experience getting on kubernetes is hard.
