GitOps for Homelab DNS: Automate Dnsmasq with Version Control
A developer shares a GitOps workflow for managing Dnsmasq DNS entries in a homelab, using GitHub, Bash scripts, and cronjobs to automate deployment. The approach stores host configurations in a Git repository, enabling version control and reducing human error. Deploy keys secure repository access, and optional GitHub Actions validate configurations before sync.

While niche, this practical guide highlights how GitOps principles can tame even small-scale infrastructure, though the manual cron-based sync lacks the real-time guarantees of dedicated tools like Flux or ArgoCD.
