I am spending an inordinate amount of time on my homelab (and the todo list does not seem to get any smaller). But on the other hand this activity gives me a ton of experience that I could not get doing $DAYJOB, and this experience comes extremely handy from time to time.



100%.

What are you running?


- Unbound+nsd for all dns needs

- Tiny Tiny RSS

- Nextcloud

- Docspell

- Gitea

- Youtrack

- Prometheus

- Minio

- Set of wireguard mesh networks for management, monitoring, service access, backups

Almost everything is managed through a single Nix flake with deploy-rs and agenix


::::partial overlap high-five::::

All of my stuff is public-facing and needs more reliability than I can provide via home internet, so I have a rented 1U in a datacenter. Proxmoxing my way through about 20 Wordpress sites, mail infrastructure to handle 100k messages a month for a couple of organizations, Gitlab (would have preferred Youtrack!), Nextcloud, FreshRSS, Mautic, Bookstack, Nextcloud, etc. Really want to dive into Minio on another machine for backup storage.

EDIT: See what I did in that last sentence? More tinkering! Argh!


Minio has been great IME. I have set it up to replicate the backups into Backblaze B2.

I do recommend managing it via terraform from the get go as it will save you quite some time later and lower the wtfs/minute metric.
