argento
Configuration and recovery repo for the argento home server. This repo is the runbook -- it contains the actual config files and documents the manual steps between them.
- Rocky Linux 9 on NVMe
- ZFS storage (2 pools:
nextcloudmirror,threeterasraidz2) - Docker apps behind nginx reverse proxy
- Daily USB backup via rsync

Workflows
Compose files -- edit in /opt/argento/, apply, commit:
cd /opt/argento/docker/<app>
vim compose.yaml
docker compose up -d
git add . && git commit && git push
System configs -- edit in place, auto-synced daily:
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
systemctl restart smb
# sync-system.sh runs via cron, or run manually: /opt/argento/scripts/sync-system.sh
Nginx configs -- edit in repo, reload:
vim /opt/argento/docker/nginx/conf.d/<domain>.conf
docker exec nginx nginx -t
docker exec nginx nginx -s reload
git add . && git commit && git push
Adding a new app:
- Create
docker/<app>/compose.yamlwithcontainer_nameandsharednetwork docker compose up -d./scripts/issue-cert.sh <domain>cp docker/nginx/conf.d/_template.conf.example docker/nginx/conf.d/<domain>.confand fill in placeholdersdocker exec nginx nginx -t && docker exec nginx nginx -s reload- Commit and push
Recovery
