2026 Infrastructure Consolidation
The goal of this project is to standardize practices and standards. Currently, the infrastructure is a mixture of Linux distributions, configuration management methods, and unclear ability to centrally manage and track systems beyond the Proxmox tools.
| Role | Service Chosen / Choices |
|---|---|
| Distribution | Debian |
| DNS | PowerDNS/??? |
| IPAM | Nautobot/??? |
Debian
PS:1's Linux distribution of choice is Debian. Eventually, all PS:1 Linux infrastructure components should be converted to Debian Trixie. Currently, a mix of CentOS 6, CentOS 7, Rocky 9, and Debian is used. End-of-life systems should be prioritized higher than currently in support systems.
Netboot
One of the things that I (Cara) would like a lot is a PXE netboot image to use to quickly stand up new VMs, and reimage old ones as needed. More to follow
IPAM/Infrastructure Management
This project should investigate tools like Nautobot to define and manage IT infrastructure.
