Thanks for the recommendations on each point that was very thorough. Yes for the idm/p sso f2 stuff those are definitely some of the options I'll end up testing out. For #StableDiffusion I plan on trying from my container host first without GPU pass-through and check performance. Otherwise I may use one of my GPU rigs to do so. For IaC, I've heard of #Drone but not #WoodPecker.
I like that you're using #nixos that's great! I was hoping to understand your lab goals a bit better. Regarding the darknet mesh is that mostly to allow private access to your lab #network? Can you explain what goals you'd like to accomplish with your #homelab activities?
