My plan for this year is to setup a Proxmox server and grow the number of self hosted services considerably.
Caddy web server, Git, Cgit, Miniflux, Radicale (calendar and contacts), Syncthing, Maddy mail server, Postgres, Restic backups
It also has a 16 square led matrix on top, visible through my window, in case I want to blast messages out there that way.
I change bits and pieces regularly, and have an overdue reminder to re-test restore from backup.
I've moved my "home lab" to a dedicated server in a country with green energy.
At home, I'm currently using NanoPi R5s as "router" (NAT, no routing).
In a cloud server (hidden from the public) www.keycloak.org - auth mostly for outline www.getoutline.com - my personal "notion" nginxproxymanager.com - to proxy things Wireguard - remote access and interconnection between zones cockpit-project.org - to manage VMS github.com/coder/code-server - To remote develop 2x of docs.paperless-ngx.com/ (one for me and one for my partner) - I scan and destroy most of the letters…
You can run pihole in the cloud? That is very useful information.
- router (pfSense) with wireguard VPN
- piHole for ad blocking
- Kubernetes cluster for running my own projects
- Cloudflare tunnel (on k8s) for exposing services to the internet
- Jenkins for CI and misc automation
- Samba shares for family members
- NFS share for K8s volumes
- Asterisk for telephony
It's great to have everything virtualized. Enables you to try new things easily. Also saves you electricity and space, and does nor sound like having jet engine(s) in your home
* Wikipedia mirror (down for maintenance)
* Blog served over https and gemini
* Various other bits and bobs I've built
I ran a raspberry (model 1, then 2, 3, 4) since forever, which has been fun. Switched to an intel NUC recently as I had a spare and needed the compute power. Being able to run on 32 gb ram with an nvme disk feels good, but the pi has served my needs pretty well... - plex for streaming media - external hdd that a friend uses as offsite backup (he has mine) - home assistant, mostly fed by data from the... - mqtt broker…
Any particular security camera that you use? I have been considering building a bespoke home system with Elixir and am slowly building some APIs and ideas.

Do the cheap NUCs let you install more than 8GB RAM?
Every digital asset I’ve ever created and backups of every machine I’ve had since graduating college. I have a rule of forbidding remote access so it’s not really a server — you can only get onto this host if you are sat in front of it. Everything is backed up offsite by a combination of borg and USB “tapes”. It was very liberating to put all my data on one filesystem (ZFS zpool) instead of having it littered over ma…
How do you do backups? I’ve had a homelab for a decade and I could never figure backups out properly. I use proxmox with containers, VMs when I have no choice, and a portainer machine that runs docker containers when I have no choice. I use ansible so in each playbook I have a task to backup periodically to rsync.net But that requires a lot of work because it must be setup for each service, doesn’t work with the dock…
- AdGuard home - my DNS server as well as DNS wide ad blocker
- Nginx Proxy Manager - a reverse proxy for all my services
- n8n - for some automated / scheduled tasks (mainly to trigger a daily rebuild of my static blog)
- Portainer - to manage all the dockers
I also run a dedicated Omada controller on OC200 hardware.
I'm waiting for a dedicated hardware device that will act as DNS server + Wireguard server. Once it arrives, and I'll find some free time to convert my existing HTPC to a TrueNas server, I plan to add the following services:
- paperless-ngx - For document management
- Photoprism / Immich - for photos management
- Plex/Jellyfin - Media streaming
- *arr - media downloading
- Gitea - local git server
- Calibre Web - Book management
