Homelab

I run a small homelab, basically a few simple servers running various software. Partly to test out various technologies, partly to self-host interesting and useful services. I use small, low-power desktop PCs running Proxmox as the hypervisor, this is a Linux distribution based on Debian with native support for LXC containers and for KVM virtual machines. Most services run in containers, either LXC or Docker.

Services:

• OPNSense - Open-source firewall, uses CrowdSec for extra security.
• PiHole - network-wide ad blocking and local DNS.
• Heimdahl - simple dashboard for quick access to services.
• HomeAssistant - open-source software for managing smart home devices.
• Caddy - a simple reverse-proxy.
• DokuWiki - documentation for my home IT needs.
• Portainer - simple managment of Docker containers.
• Uptime-kuma - monitoring of websites and services.
• Whoogle - private search engine - basically gives you filtered Google results.
• Vikunja - self-hosted to-do app.
• Gitea - self-hosted Git server.
• Fireshare - self-hosted video hosting and sharing (think private YouTube).
• Pingvin share - self-hosted file sharing (think WeTransfer).
