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.
