Hello Lemmy! Long time lurker, first time poster here.

Myself and a few friends love self-hosting, but believe that it's hard to get started. So we created what we believe to be the easiest gateway to homelabbing, and we called it Homelabinator!

To celebrate our launch, we are running a giveaway! Submit a screenshot of a subscription you have canceled to enter into a giveaway for a free domain of your choice!

Check it out here: homelabinator.com

Been using a similar project with friends, inspired by how Yunhost does manifests, and uses Tailscale / your Headscale

Is basically just a layer / scripting between Proxmox and Kubernetes for homelabbing

Doesn't require a custom ISO and is just a post install script on Proxmox.

auto ssl setup for all services with friendly URLs on your domain, control plane with Terraform-like declarative definitions for your lab

It's helped us a lot, but it's not something we have had time to tackle all the work involved to make it something valuable for others when everyone does homelabbing so differently.

The cons:

  • It's opinionated in its setup.
  • Certain tools like Nginx Proxy Manager+Adgaurd, and certain self hosted tools for uptime and resource usage monitor/alerts are not trivial to change to use what you prefer
  • only tested with machines above certain specs, no arm support.
  • new machines / (even compute nodes) all have to be proxmox
  • Adding new machines and deciding what runs where to be optimal is not a beginner friendly decision, and likely needs community support and tooling around that, if it's aimed at beginners

To do this properly is a big job, so hope this project works out for you as I like to see more community and people supporting each other with thier setups
