Self Hosted Home is a resource for anyone who wants to take back control of their data, ditch expensive cloud subscriptions, and build their own home lab from scratch.
We cover everything from picking your first piece of hardware to running a full self-hosted software stack on Proxmox and Docker. Whether you’re setting up a Raspberry Pi for the first time or building out a multi-service home server, you’ll find practical, no-nonsense guides here.
No IT degree required. Just curiosity and a willingness to tinker.
What You’ll Find Here
Step-by-step setup guides for the most popular self-hosted apps, hardware recommendations for every budget, comparisons to help you choose the right tools, and beginner-friendly explainers for core home lab concepts.
Why Self Hosted Home?
Because your files, your photos, and your data shouldn’t live on someone else’s server. Building a home lab gives you privacy, saves you money, and teaches you skills that actually matter.
