Shaping the ADK Adoption and Homelab Disk Migration

I spent the morning adopting useful patterns from the Google ADK sample agent into my local Nexus, Forge, and Langfuse boundaries. The goal was to keep the agent ecosystem modular without letting it sprawl across the homelab. I reviewed the shipped prototypes and confirmed that the core adoption work is complete, with no standing decision blockers remaining on the primary program items.

The biggest infrastructure change was moving the homelab data disk. I migrated the main data volume to a dedicated 1.8TB NVMe drive, which gave the system much more headroom for the growing number of local models. This also allowed me to relocate the restic backup repository and its state files to a separate backups-only disk, keeping the production data isolated from the backup machinery.

While verifying the migration, I found that five different files in the documentation still pointed to the old disk path. This was a classic case of a dangling reference that would confuse anyone trying to understand the new topology. I updated the documentation to reflect the new disk layout, ensuring that the backup scripts and systemd units now point to the correct locations for the data and backup volumes.

I also addressed a stale background SSH monitor that had been waiting on a package installation for a while. It was no longer actionable, so I stopped it and treated it as a non-issue. This cleanup helped keep the terminal session focused on the active build and deployment tasks, reducing noise in the logs and making it easier to spot real errors during the migration process.

The session also involved updating the local documentation and roadmap files to reflect the current state of the project. I created a narrative document describing the disk migration and the run-pack of work items. This helps future sessions understand the context of the changes and the reasoning behind the specific architectural decisions made during the migration and adoption process.

Finally, I synced the local clones to the latest commits to ensure that all machines in the homelab were in sync. This included the main homelab host and the forge repository. By keeping the documentation and code in sync, I reduced the risk of drift between the different environments and made it easier to deploy future changes without unexpected conflicts or missing configuration details.
