This post is part of my series on migrating my Homelab from Terraform to Pulumi. Here, I’ll walk through how I manage DNS records in Pulumi and how I imported them from Terraform so the migration can be fully automated.

One of my goals was to define the entire setup as code. I wanted to avoid clicking around in the UI and waiting for pages to load every time I needed to change a setting. So I installed Proxmox (manually), set up API credentials, and jumped on the Terraform bandwagon.

This year, however, I want to do things differently. Over the past few months, I’ve been working on a couple of projects that have sparked new ideas. I now have notes, discoveries, and stories worth sharing—both about the work itself and the motivation behind it. Writing this down publicly should also help keep me accountable.
I’ll begin with my Homelab and its migration from Terraform to Pulumi. I’m also planning to redesign this website and potentially move away from WordPress on the client side. Expect a few posts on each project, along with regular progress updates.
Although I’m writing mainly for myself, as a kind of learning journal, I hope some of it proves useful to you as well.
See you around!
