started with a simple media server, now i’m running my own mail, calendaring, document storage, password manager, vpn, monitoring, and probably half a dozen other things i’ve forgotten about. my wife just asks if “the internet is working” now, not ‘is netflix down’. it’s glorious, but also… a lot. anyone else go from zero to homelab hero in record time? what kicked off your journey into the self-hosted abyss?


Ive run a servarr stack for media with Plex for a long time, but recently deciding to degoogle led me to start replacing services like Photos with Immich, and it snowballed from there. The more the merrier!
