Migrated my Docker Compose homelab to OpenTofu (yuris.dev)

I don't usually post, but thought I'd share.

I rebuilt my homelab with OpenTofu. Now my entire setup, from containers to networking, lives in a Git repo.

The best part is that new services get published automatically. I just set a flag in the code, and it builds the Caddy proxy or Cloudflare tunnel for me. No more manual config editing.

Here's my quick write-up on it: https://yuris.dev/blog/homelab-opentofu

And the code is all public if you want to see how it works: https://github.com/yurisasc/homelab

Hope this is interesting to someone. Happy to answer any questions if you have them. Curious to hear if anyone else has gone down this particular rabbit hole with IaC for their Docker stack.

I've been doing IaC for years on my homelab. Once I outgrew rockets impose and a single NUC, I ended up going full regard on kubernetes forna few years, before getting sick of the complexity and upkeep and moving to a nix stack for my NAS and nuc

Tip;: if you haven't already look at using renovate bit to run on your repo and update your container tags, it's great to manage updating your containers in a controller fashion

Assuming "rockets impose" is an autocorrect of "docker compose", it's the best one I've ever seen.

Well, time to edit .bash_aliases…
