Khue Doan 2cd8a249b6 refactor!: replace ZeroTier with Tailscale and Wireguard
- Tailscale UX is better, and the Headscale control server is also
  easier to self-host than ZeroTier (although Headscale is not the
  official control server, the author now works at Tailscale)
- Wireguard is also added as an alternative to avoid relying on a
  third-party service, however it requires port-forwarding

This project utilizes [Infrastructure as Code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrastructure_as_code) and [GitOps](https://www.weave.works/technologies/gitops) to automate provisioning, operating, and updating self-hosted services in my homelab.
It can be used as a highly customizable framework to build your own homelab.
> **What is a homelab?**
>
> Homelab is a laboratory at home where you can self-host, experiment with new technologies, practice for certifications, and so on.
> For more information, please see the [r/homelab introduction](https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/wiki/introduction) and the
> [Home Operations Discord community](https://discord.gg/home-operations) (formerly known as [k8s-at-home](https://k8s-at-home.com)).
## Overview
Project status: **ALPHA**
This project is still in the experimental stage, and I don't use anything critical on it.
Expect breaking changes that may require a complete redeployment.
