Post-install¶

Backup secrets¶

Save the following files to a safe location like a password manager (if you're using the sandbox, you can skip this step):

• ~/.ssh/homelab_id_ed25519
• ~/.ssh/homelab_id_ed25519.pub
• ./metal/kubeconfig.yaml (optional, since you can always restore it via scp from one of the nodes in the cluster)

Admin credentials¶

• ArgoCD:
  • Username: admin
  • Password: run ./scripts/argocd-admin-password
• Gitea:
  • Username: gitea_admin
  • Password: get from global-secrets namespace
• Kanidm:
  • Usernames: admin and idm_admin
  • Password: run ./scripts/kanidm-reset-password admin and ./scripts/kanidm-reset-password idm_admin
• Jellyfin and other applications in the *arr stack: see the dedicated guide for media management
• Other apps:
  • Username: admin
  • Password: get from global-secrets namespace

Backup¶

Now is a good time to set up backups for your homelab. Follow the backup and restore guide to get started.

Run the full test suite¶

After the homelab has been stabilized, you can run the full test suite to ensure that everything is working properly:

make test

Gitea¶

• Create a new user account
  • Add ssh key
  • Add your github email if you want to associate commits made in gitea with your github account
    • You can use the noreply email address as well, if your real email is hidden in github
• Login with admin user and add your personal user to the admins team in ops organization
