# Infrastructure Standards
This document defines the standards and conventions for the homelab GitOps-lite environment.
## Host Architecture
| Host | Role | Description |
|------|------|-------------|
| **SATURN** | Primary Node | Development, orchestration, and git source of truth (commit node). |
| **SOLARIA** | Compute Node | GPU, inference, and heavy compute workloads. |
| **PIHA** | Infra Node | Core infrastructure services, automation, and monitoring. |
| **VPS** | Edge Node | Public ingress, reverse proxy, and edge services. |
## Directory Layout
### Repository Layout
```text
/
├── docs/ # Infrastructure documentation
├── hosts/ # Host-specific configurations
│ ├── saturn/
│ ├── solaria/
│ ├── piha/
│ └── vps/
├── services/ # Reusable service definitions (Docker Compose)
├── scripts/ # Management and deployment scripts
└── README.md
```
### Runtime Layout (on Execution Nodes)
Runtime state must live outside the repository to keep it immutable and clean.
```text
/opt/homelab/
├── services/ # Active docker-compose files (deployed from git)
├── data/ # Persistent volume data (backed up)
├── config/ # Host-local overrides and secrets (not in git)
└── logs/ # Service logs
```
## Docker Compose Standards
1. **File Naming**: Use `docker-compose.yml`.
2. **Container Naming**: `service-name`.
3. **Restarts**: Always use `restart: unless-stopped`.
4. **Networking**:
- Use `tailscale` internal mesh for inter-host communication.
- Expose ports only when necessary.
5. **Volumes**: Use named volumes or absolute paths to `/opt/homelab/data/service-name`.
## Environment Variables
- `.env`: Default environment variables (checked into git if safe).
- `.env.local`: Host-specific overrides (not in git).
## Naming Conventions
- Hosts: All caps (SATURN, SOLARIA, PIHA, VPS).
- Services: Kebab-case (e.g., `ollama-server`).
- Containers: Match service name.
## Deployment Flow
1. Changes are committed and pushed to **SATURN**.
2. Execution nodes (SOLARIA, PIHA, VPS) pull changes.
3. Deployment scripts trigger `docker compose up -d`.
