+title: Status update, August 2021
+date: 2021-08-12
+
+This is the first status update!
+You can expect regular status updates each month.
+
+These last two months I have been busy moving and setting up my homelab to
+my new place. The current place has its gateway connected directly to fiber,
+an increased connectivity speed is expected for accessing services that I host
+(factorio, miniflux, ...).
+
+I have started to write from scratch this website's generation
+[script](https://git.rgoncalves.se/_infrastructure/website). I have
+decided to ditch my fork of [ssg](https://www.romanzolotarev.com/ssg.html) and
+introduce templating + pseudo-yaml options thanks to lowdown. While it is
+still a bit 'rough', most of the templating functionnality are usable.
+
+Continuing in the development department, I refactored most of my ansible
+roles. I have also welcomed the third generation of my infrastructure setup!
+A major feature is about a secondary domain controller, mainly for the internal
+network. Its goal is to centralize `ldap` and `databases` services. Currently,
+it hosts a grafana instance with the list of hosts deployed directly from
+ansible, and an internal git server with a locked-down cgit frontend.
