It's finally here! I'm thrilled to announce the official release of The Homelab Almanac! After four months of intense drafting, revising, and refactoring, here is TTI's resource for getting started with personal virtualization labs in your own home. As the subtitle suggests, we cover everything from purchasing and installation concerns, all the way through automated deployment with Terraform and Ansible.

The TTI Edition of the book is available directly from us. Purchasing through TTI means you receive:

- DRM-Free EPUB and PDF versions of the book.
- Static site version of the book with built-in search feature.
- Instant access to updated versions
- A discount over bookstore purchases!

The Homelab Almanac has been a dream of mine since I started The Institute. I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I have.

Grab it now for $19.99 USD!

@mttaggart Congrats! I'm looking forward to read it.

I tried to buy it but I keep getting that "Something went wrong" error at the top. I tried with three different browsers.

I'll try again later.

@padawan Check adblockers. Sometimes Teachable gets weird with them.

@mttaggart Hm. No, that didn't work. I disabled ALL my extensions, tried with different browsers and different cards. Am I the only one getting this error?

I'll give it another try after lunch.

@mttaggart After trying different browsers, devices and credit cards, I kept getting the same error. There’s definitely something wrong.

BUUUUT… I didn’t give up. I tried with PayPal and that worked flawlessly. I finally got a copy of your book.

And to think that I was planning to do something productive at work today… 😩

@mttaggart Been researching on how to use Ansible and Terraform for a rapid minimum viable AD deployment for malware analysis — this looks ideal!

@mttaggart just heard the podcast with Phil Wylie, love it. i noticed on the site that this was a book only format. Is this going to be a course. Im highly interested becasue i have what i built a cyber command center lol. but Im still kinda noobish in setting up complex networks even though i grasp networking as i find it easy. When i set up a dedicated proxmox on bare metal, it outputs an ip address that is different from its actual physical ip. and I get stumped and dont proceed with the project. I figured I can setup a foss version of the ESXI client on bare metal but certain kerfuffles like that i get stuck on. just wondering your thoughts and if this will be a video course. thanks

@mttaggart ohh i finally see the homelab videos. this is awesome.
Show threadTaggart Mar 4, 2024
@pids3c Thank you for the kind words! So you know, the videos came before the book. They are much less refined.

Frankly, the book has so much information in it, making a video course would be rather daunting. Please also note that the book purchase provides a PDF, EPUB, and a locally-hostable web version of the book that has a built-in search index.
