Guides on how to build a home lab

HomeLab diagram

Description

Most of my guides are based around Unraid using templates provided by the community. If you’re not using Unraid they’ll still work for you but you’ll need to figure out your initial docker setup command.

A lot of the guides are still in progress as I go back through what I’ve setup already.

Topics

Website

  • Hosting a website using Hugo & Cloudflare
  • Free website image hosting with Cloudflare

Networking

  • Custom networking

Tunneling

Forget port forwarding, these guides will help you access your services remotely.

  • Cloudflare tunneling
  • Tailscale
  • PlayIt.GG (invite your friends to play on your self hosted private servers)

Security

  • PocketID (OIDC - One login for all of your services using passkeys)
  • CrowdSec (Crowdsourced IP blacklists - securing your tunnels)

Cool apps to checkout

  • Nextcloud: host your own Google cloud
  • Plex: Stream your own movies anywhere
