Hey y’all, I know getting a setup that feels “right” can be a process. We all have different goals, tech preferences, etc.

I wanted to a share my blog post walking through how I finally built a setup that I can just be happy with and use. It goes over my goals, requirements, tech choices, layout, and some specific problems I’ve resolved.

Where I’ve landed of course isn’t where everyone else will, but I hope it can serve as a good reference. I’ve really benefited from the content and software folks have freely shared, and hope I can continue that and help others.

Happy to answer questions!

    I used proxmox to set up my ZFS pools and use bind mounts. It’s fine, I’m sure it’s a “grass is greener” thing.

    Home labbing is a winter hobby, so in the summer months I hate the time spent updating all the machines when I could be outside.

    If I had purely Docker set up, in winter I’d be complaining that “everything is too simple” and “I want more control” etc.
