CASPER - Gitea Server & Network Attached Storage

Hostname: CASPER
IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.124 (STATIC)
IPv6 Address: disabled
Assigned IPv4 DNS: 192.168.1.125 (ENLIL)
Assigned IPv6 DNS: disabled
Architecture: x86-64 (OpenMediaVault Server)

Purpose

CASPER serves as the central Gitea server within the home-lab and CI/CD infrastructure. It hosts all repositories, manages user authentication, and provides the web interface for code collaboration. Additionally, it tracks job status and logs through Gitea’s integration with CI/CD runners.

CASPER is running OpenMediaVault which is a networked attached storage solution based on Debian linux, it contains useful services that I require such as SMB and docker. A docker compose is setup and includes Traefik as a reverse proxy, Gitea for Git hosting, and PostgreSQL as the database backend. The system utilizes a ZFS pool consisting of two 4TB HDDs for data storage, while the OS runs on a 128GB SATA SSD for optimal performance.

Hosts Git repositories for all projects.
Provides web UI for repository management and collaboration.
Tracks CI/CD job statuses and logs via Gitea Actions.
Manages user authentication and access control.
Serves as the central hub for workflow orchestration.
