Today I started a new project homelab/terraform to manage the homelab on proxmox.

the plan is to remove all the scripts from homelab/ansible.

  1. use terraform to:
    • create the virtual nodes and the LXC containers on proxmox
    • set the password and authorized SSH ket for the user root
  2. use ansible to manage:
    • the dns
    • the inventory
  3. bootstrap new host with ansible
    • as user root
    • setup user ansible
  4. configure the new host with ansible

Problem: logind.service

The login process took a long time and journalctl -xe showed timeout errors.

I had seen this before and had fixed it.

Solution: nesting

The solution was to enable nesting.
