ADR 0001: Record Architecture Decisions

Status

Accepted

Context

A formal mechanism is required to document architectural decisions made during the development and evolution of the homelab project. This ensures long-term consistency, provides critical context for future modifications, and facilitates knowledge transfer.

Decision

The project will utilize Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) to document significant architectural choices. These records will be maintained within the doc/src/adr/ directory, following a sequential numbering scheme.

Consequences

• Enhanced Transparency: Provides clear visibility into the reasoning behind key architectural choices.
• Historical Context: Establishes a permanent record of the system’s evolution.
• Sustainable Maintenance: Facilitates easier onboarding and long-term system maintenance by preserving intent.
