Homelab¶
Homelab guides for the bits that aren't strictly Kubernetes or Proxmox — server hardware, automation, monitoring, backups, and the operational glue that keeps it all running.

Self-host Immich with Nginx Proxy Manager
Deploy Immich (the self-hosted Google Photos alternative) behind NPM on one host. NVIDIA GPU for ML + NVENC, bind-mounted everything, full backup/restore script included.
On the roadmap¶
- Reverse proxy setup with Nginx Proxy Manager — TLS, redirects, custom configs
- Backup strategy: restic + offsite replication, with automation
- Monitoring stack: Prometheus, Grafana, and alerting that actually pages you
- Choosing hardware for a first homelab server
- Secrets management without rolling your own
- Container runtimes compared — Docker, Podman, containerd in a homelab context
