Homelab director structure.
I wanted to configure my homelab to mirror the enterprise environment so that I can get experience working in a DevOps capactiy.
After doing quite a bit of research (mainly with querying google) I discovered that there is no standard approach.
Asking, ChatGPT for assistance I was given the following structure:
``` shell
