Hi, just recently it’s foss had an article about homelabs. Of course I digged in, since there is a small nuc working tirelessly in the corner of my routers closet. So far it just crawls some web pages for me and sends emails accordingly to my filters. So I hoped to find new exciting stuff to let it crunch through. The articles content did not spark my interest though.

Well, I’d like to know what you are using on your homelab. In hope you’ll do something I’d like to follow. Cheers

    Infrastructure:
    • Proxmox VE - everything’s virtualised on Debian, mostly in docker inside LXC’s for neat backup/restore and moving between nodes
    • NGINX Proxy Manager - in front of most of my homelab services so they have https certificates
    • Tailscale - access everything, everywhere, including on phone, securely
    • Uptime Kuma - monitoring, with ntfy notifications
    • apt cacher NG - unnecessary caching of apt updates
    Apps:
    Currently in testing on the dev server:
    • neko - virtualised browser. Been experimenting with this in a container with a VPN for really simple secure browsing - ie launch it, do your online banking and then destroy the container.
    • Dashy - I go through periods of wanting a pretty home page with all my services, set it all up, then fail to actually use it and eventually delete it, then hear about another cool one…
    • Sharry - securish file sharing. I don’t love just emailing my accounts off to the accountant.
    • LimeSurvey - survey software (like Survey Monkey) - just something I’m testing for work
    • Omada controller - I’ve got a TP-Link switch and WAP that don’t really need centrally controlled, but you know, can be.
    • A couple of development environment LXCs I use VS Code in

    I still have not landed on a music system. I’ve put some of my library on Jellyfin, and tried a couple of apps with, but haven’t hit on a good combination yet. [edit:formatting}
