IT people are odd in the sense that they often take their work home with them, constantly playing with gadgets and labs and such, just for the fun of it. i haven't built a home lab in several years, and i'm not sure i miss it... 🙂
I have a media server (Plex), carddav and caldav server (radicale) at home hosted by FreeBSD. Wireguard, email, prosody servers on a VPS hosted by OpenBSD. Password manager (Vaultwarden), Nextcloud, security camera (MotionEye), syncthing, DNS filter (AdGuard home) servers again at home, hosted either by Debian Linux or containers.
@hakayova Really neat! 😎 Beastie and puffy at it's finest I must say I currently use KeePassXC with a shared password db on my Synology. Vaultwarden was pretty cool, had it running via #Docker before.
Not much, just a web desktop OS (ArozOS, pretty much handle all my needs), a few Apache servers for reverse proxy (my #homelab is distributed) and one of them also got php installed to host my homepage 😎
@tobychui Sounds pretty cool 😎 You said your #homelab is distributed... can you elaborate on that? 🙂 I'm looking into getting a cheap VPS again to host my website. Currently, GitHub takes care of that 😉 My #homelab is quite small since I try to save electricity as much as possible. A Synology, a Intel NUC (#Debian) and soon a #BSD machine (A NUC also)
I built my first Windows server with G3258 when I was in high school, and that machine stays at my parent house even after I moved out. I also place a few ARM based DIY NAS in uni (Armbian), my lab, my friends homelab (vm, Debian) and more. All linked together with reverse proxy with zerotier as backup. 🙌
@tobychui That for sure is a distributed #homelab 😉 Ah backups, many understimate that too often - but you are covered from what I can tell 😎 Pretty neat all in all! 😀
Oh, if I exactly had one, most likely I'd host a pleroma instance.
Not many ideas come right now, but things like temporary file hosting, imageboard, matrix, fediverse, stuff I'd like to host, but only if I have a homelab xD
@nightquick Maybe you will have a #homelan in the future - never say never 😎 Besides: Having huge machines is not important, the services offered are 😉
mostly stuff to make day to day life easier and help my gf. Nextcloud - file sharing and backups, alternative to Google drive Wiki (don't remember app name) - planning to document my homelab and findings Jellyfin +*arr - Netflix like experience Mail - mostly experiment Bitwarden - password manager Duplicaty - backups Everything runs on rpi 4 and custom PC on docker. Connecting to it using cloudflare tunnels. Planning to host pihole too.
@untriex Always great when the hosted services are also usable to other people besides oneself 😉 Really cool stuff here. I have to fiddle a little with nextcould and jellyfin Neat 😎

A #homelab is not mandatory by any means... it just is fun to fiddle around a little 😎

Also: Having a Proxmox cluster 😉

in reply to Larvitz • • •Let's call it a outsourced homelab 😉
Still, it provides many services to you!
