 My configuration for creating my home Nomad cluster and deploying services to it.
 
+This repo is not designed as general purpose templates, but rather to fit my specific needs. That said, I have made an effort for things to be as useful as possible for someone wanting to use or modify this.

 Finally, the Terraform configuration can be applied setting up all services deployed on the cluster.
 
+The configuration of new services is intended to be as templated as possible and to avoid requiring changes in multiple places. For example, most services are configured with a template that provides reverse proxy, DNS records, database tunnels, database bootstrapping, metrics scraping, and authentication. The only real exception is backups, which requires a distinct job file, for now.

 ## What does it do?
 
+* Nomad cluster for scheduling and configuring all services
+* Blocky DNS servers with integrated ad blocking. This also provides service discovery
+* Prometheus with autodiscovery of service metrics
+* Loki and Promtail aggregating logs
+* Minitor for service availability checks
+* Grafana providing dashboards, alerting, and log searching
+* Photoprism for photo management
+* Remote and shared volumes over NFS
+* Authelia for OIDC and Proxy based authentication with 2FA
+* Sonarr and Lidarr for multimedia management
+* Automated block based backups using Restic
+
 ## Step by step
+
+1. Update hosts in `ansible_playbooks/ansible_hosts.yml`
+2. Update `ansible_playbook/setup-cluster.yml`
+    1. Update backup DNS server
+    2. Update NFS shares from NAS
+    3. Update volumes to make sure they are valid paths
+3. Create `ansible_playbooks/vars/nomad_vars.yml` based on the sample file. TODO: This is quite specific and probably impossible without more documentation
+4. Run `make all`
+5. Update your network DNS settings to use the new servers IP addresses
