+Not much, but it'serviceable.
+
+## Why a homelab?
+I needed an environment to break and fix things safely. So far, it's been fun. 
+
+## What's running on it?
+I have a small kubernetes cluster and a separate server for development.
+Services that are currently running are:
+- Keycloak - SSO
+- Opencloud - Private cloud
+- Hugo - This
+- Bookstack - For my docs
+- Obsidian - Notes
+- Plane - Project management
+- Nginx - Proxy
+- Haproxy - K8S cluster proxy
+- Minio - Object Storage
+- Databases
+    - Postgres
+    - MariaDB
+    - MySQL
+    - CouchDB
+
+## What's in the pipeline?
+- CI/CD to streamline development
+- Monitoring using Grafana
+- Analytics using Matomo
+- Mail server using mailcow 
+
+## What can you find here?
+I'll update this site with docs of what I've deployed and any new learnings I find interesting.
