Components needed

[tepene]

This issue is here to track overall progress and maybe a good place to discuss ideas.

Components

the following list is not complete and can be extended

We need:

• a container registry
• a certificate authority
• reverse proxy
• some automation to update /etc/hosts on host
• some automation to update-ca-trust on host
• some automation to deploy vm
• some automation to update /etc/hosts on vm
• some automation to update-ca-trust on vm
• WebUI git frontend to replicate "self hosted ublue"
• wireguard configs for all of it so people can self host their own personal mirror
• ...

Maybe https://github.com/OliveTin/OliveTin could be used as a simple WebUI. It reminds me of https://github.com/casey/just but with UI.

Since I'd like to implement the "automation" stuff with Ansible I'll give https://github.com/ansible-semaphore/semaphore a shot

It's been a while.... Despite not having a lot of spare time to work on this it still popped up in my mind from time to time. I was thinking that the GUI part is a huge overhead and brings additional complexity to this project. Maybe it would just be simpler to use just to execute the tasks needed to build a new image on the local host.

I ditched ansible-semaphore, at least for the moment. I want to focus on the tasks first which can be invoked via just commands. GUI would be nice but it must be way simpler than semaphore
