Adventures in Homelabbing: From Cloud Obsession to Self-Hosted Shenanigans
I began to self-host a Minecraft server using Crafty Controller, an Excalidraw instance, Docmost to replace Notion, Plane to replace Jira, and Penpot to replace Figma. To be able to access them from the internet, I used Nginx Proxy Manager to set up reverse proxies with SSL. You can use Traefik or Caddy instead, but I enjoyed the ease-of-use of NPM. For a dashboard solution, I started with Homarr, but later switched to Homepage because I'm apparently incapable of making a decision and sticking with it.

Ask HN: What do you use to create diagrams?
I like Mermaid[^1], but can’t be bothered to learn the syntax. So, most of the time, I ask LLMs to generate the scaffolding and work from that.
For freehand drawing, to me, nothing beats Excalidraw[^2]. I use it for pretty much everything—from system design work to planning a project and explaining a concept. Such a wonderful tool from the Czech Republic.
