DevOps & Kubernetes Learning in Public

“Everything breaks. Fix it with YAML.” — Probably Me
Welcome to my Kubernetes Homelab repo! This is where I document everything I'm learning and building as I grow in DevOps — one deployment at a time. From testing self-hosted services to refining YAML files and learning real-world troubleshooting, this is my hands-on journey with Kubernetes.
Think of this as my digital lab notebook — filled with manifests, Helm charts, config notes, and lessons learned from breaking things (intentionally or otherwise).
- ✅ Kubernetes Fundamentals — Pods, Services, Ingress, ConfigMaps, Secrets, etc.
- 🔧 Helm Charts — Custom Helm deployments and template experiments.
- 🐳 Containerization — Building and deploying Docker images.
- 🔐 Security Practices — Securing clusters, RBAC, namespace controls, etc.
- ☁️ Self-Hosting Projects — Deploying apps like Mealie, Nginx, and GitLab.
- 🧪 Lab Experiments — Networking, volumes, GitOps, CI/CD workflows, and more.

- Community content, blog posts, lab trial & error
This repo acts as my second brain for Kubernetes and DevOps:
- ✅ Documenting what I learn in real time
- ✅ Sharing working configurations and experiments
- ✅ Tracking homelab projects and infrastructure setups
- ✅ Learning by doing (and breaking, then fixing)
- ✅ Demonstrating hands-on skills for future roles
Every commit reflects something I’ve learned, tested, or struggled with. If you’re on a similar path, feel free to fork, star, or connect!
