|
||||
### Immediate (Next 30 minutes)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Create Gitea Repository**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Access Gitea at: http://192.168.68.51:3002
|
||||
# Create new repository: "infrastructure"
|
||||
# Initialize with README: NO (we have our own)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Initialize Git Locally on Unraid**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# SSH into your Unraid server

||||
|
||||
# Create infrastructure directory
|
||||
mkdir -p /mnt/user/infrastructure
|
||||
cd /mnt/user/infrastructure
|
||||
|
||||
# Initialize git
|
||||
git init
|
||||
git config user.name "Your Name"

||||
git config user.email "your@email.com"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Copy Documentation**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Copy these files from the outputs folder
|
||||
cp /mnt/user-data/outputs/infrastructure-docs/README.md ./
|
||||
|
||||
# Create docs directory
|
||||
mkdir -p docs
|
||||
|
||||
# Copy remaining docs when ready
|
||||
# cp /mnt/user-data/outputs/infrastructure-docs/*.md docs/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. **First Commit**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Add files
|
||||
git add README.md
|
||||
|
||||
# Commit
|
||||
git commit -m "Initial commit: Phase 1 foundation documentation
|
||||
|
||||
- Added main README with hardware overview
|
||||
- Documented running services
|
||||
- Added quick reference section
|
||||
- Established documentation structure"
|
||||
|
||||
# Add remote (replace with your Gitea URL)
|
||||
git remote add origin http://192.168.68.51:3002/your-username/infrastructure.git
|
||||
|
||||

git commit -m "Added monitoring stack configuration"
|
||||
|
||||
# Not this
|
||||
git commit -m "Updated stuff"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Link Documents Together**
|
||||
- Reference other docs with relative links
|
||||
- Example in README: `See [Network Map](docs/network-map.md)`
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Keep It Current**

|

## 🎯 Current Focus Areas
|
||||
|
||||
### ✅ Working Well
|
||||
- Core infrastructure stable (reverse proxy, VPN, Git)
|
||||
- Professional tools in place (Gitea, NPM, Vaultwarden)
|
||||
- Remote access configured (Tailscale + Cloudflare)
|
||||
- GPU available for acceleration projects
|
||||
|
||||
### ⚠️ Needs Attention
|
||||
- **Monitoring:** Grafana/InfluxDB/Telegraf stack stopped (no observability)
|
||||
- **Cache Storage:** 63% full - approaching performance threshold
|
||||
- **Container Cleanup:** 26 of 32 containers stopped (decision needed)
|
||||
- **Backups:** No automated backup strategy evident
|
||||
- **Documentation:** Starting to build comprehensive docs (this repo!)
|
||||
|
||||
### 🚀 Planned Improvements
|
||||
- Phase 1: Foundation documentation (IN PROGRESS)
|
||||
- Phase 2: Restart monitoring stack
|
||||
- Phase 3: Implement backup strategy
|
||||
- Phase 4: Container consolidation
|
||||
- Phase 5: GPU utilization projects
