Homelab Pro

35 hand-curated homelab and self-hosting answers, offline, in one HTML file.

A standalone homelab reference that runs entirely in your browser. 35 specific, hedged lessons covering hardware sizing (ZFS RAM rules, consumer SSD reality, UPS sizing), networking gotchas (CGNAT detection, VLAN for IoT, reverse proxy picks), backup that actually restores (3-2-1 rule, test-restores, Docker volume traps), security mistakes everyone makes once (Docker socket, MFA, self-signed certs), and operational truths most guides skip (heat, noise, the "one weekend" rule). Every lesson is hand-authored with a "could be wrong" caveat. The opposite of a generated wiki.

What you get

• Hardware sizing — ZFS RAM, SSD lifetime, UPS sizing, when spinning rust still wins
• Networking gotchas — CGNAT detection, double NAT, VLAN for IoT, Cloudflare Tunnel vs Tailscale
• Backup that restores — 3-2-1 rule, quarterly test-restores, Docker volume corruption traps
• Security mistakes — Docker socket exposure, MFA, self-signed cert pain, Let's Encrypt rate limits
• Service picks — Plex vs Jellyfin, Immich vs PhotoPrism, Caddy vs nginx vs Traefik
• Operational reality — heat, noise, single point of failure rules, the "one weekend" project rule
• 30-day refund. If a stored lesson is wrong, tell me — I refund AND fix it for the next buyer.
