Digest
Established home_infra repository for infrastructure-as-code with Pulumi and Helm charts. Added initial configuration, requirements management, and modularized services. Enhanced x11desktop with GPU and webtop Dockerfile variants.
home_infra: Infrastructure-as-Code Setup
Initial commit established foundational configuration files including .gitignore, .flake8, and requirements management. Added Pulumi configuration and initial main script (main.py) for infrastructure deployment.
Subsequent commits refined requirements management, addressed persistent volume configuration issues, and introduced modular Helm chart implementations for services like Plex, Transmission, and MLflow.
Refactoring efforts in late October restructured the codebase into helper modules (common/helpers.py) and dedicated service files (helm_charts/), reducing main script complexity.
