January 2025 (theepicsaxguy/homelab) focused on delivering platform-wide improvements, stabilizing identity/auth workflows, and simplifying deployment. Key features include NetBird OIDC client composition, NetBird Relay Service, and deployment simplifications via plain manifests. Security hardening and operational stability were a priority, with environment-variable naming standardized for secrets and an initial Crossplane CRD reorganization in progress. These efforts reduce deployment risk, improve security posture, and accelerate production readiness across the stack.
