Just a small homelab I've been building and tinkering with at home — mostly for learning, but also because I genuinely use a couple of these services day to day.
And for fun of course :)
An old laptop that got a second life as a Proxmox box, running Nextcloud so I've got my own private cloud storage instead of relying on someone else's servers. There's an external hard drive attached for the actual storage.
A Raspberry Pi 5 running Pi-hole to block ads and trackers network-wide.
Mostly so I don't forget what I did and why, six months from now when something breaks.
| Component | Status |
|---|---|
| Proxmox + Nextcloud | ✅ Up and running, actually used |
| Pi-hole | ✅ Up and running, actually used |
- Remote access so I can reach Nextcloud away from home (Tailscale/WireGuard)
- Actual backups for the Nextcloud data
- Some basic monitoring so I know if something dies
