Haven’t felt the want to learn NixOS, but the idea did 8ntrigue me.

I am using Homarr but before that I used Heimdall.

I much prefer Homarr, and it’s rather easy to use too.

I have a good chunk of my services running on my docker host. I may go the docker route as it’s the cleanest way of implementing it into my setup.

I think so farvi have 30 containers running at any given time.

Didn’t realize there was a self host option for Xbrowsersync, thank you!

Well, I want the data to be my own. And that traffic won’t leave my home network, unless I am VPNed into my network. I don’t expose my services to the Internet because it’s just for me.

I have not. He ked out Shaarli but I am going to look now.

I thought about trying to spin up a nextcloud instance, just haven’t taken the time to add that to my home lab.

It may not be worth that extra effort, but it would be a learning experience I am sure.

I have read that, but then for my chrome instances on devices I sadly couldn’t easily sync with those. For instance I use a chromium based browser on my phone, but Firefox on my desktops/laptops. But I may look into self hosting my own Firefox setup.

Thank you, I will have to check that one out. My next endeavor was going to be to make my own Firefox and chrome extensions and create my own docker container for syncing.

My “Home Lab” loosely put, is an amalgamation of this:

Docker and Docker Compose installed on Ubuntu on a Dell PowerEdge 530 and on that docker host I have: -Portainer

-Nginx Proxy Manager

-Cloudflare Dynamic DNS

-Chromium

-Dozzle

-Gluetun

-Homarr

-Jellyfin

-Kanboard

-Komga

-Radarr

-Lidarr

-Sonarr

-Navodrome

-netbooyxyz (work in progress)

-Prowlarr

-qBittorrent

-Pairdrop

-Resilio-Sync

-Searxng

-Siganl CLI container for alerts

-Uptime Kuma

-VSCode

-WikiJS

-Watchtower

On one of my Pi’s:

-Pihole

-Pialert

-fail2ban

-PIVPN

-Unbound

The weakest part of my setup arguably is between my storage “solution” and my networking setup.

Storage is just a bunch of large drives in the Dell. Next upgrade is a new router solution, but still use my current router for a wireless access point strictly for IOT and putting my other devices on separate VLANs.

I was thinking about getting a Nextcloud going, but not sure I want to as of right now.
