I recently embarked on my first ever homelab! I moved from a humble Pi Zero 2w with Pi-Hole + Homebridge (my guide) to a small Proxmox home server for Plex for the family, and other fun stuff hosted on a micro Thinkcentre M920Q
I took copious notes and wrote myself various install ‘guides’, which I’m happy to share here on github (a WIP). These guides include step-by-step instructions for how I set up everything below.
Minecraft - I do this completely separate on a free tier VPS on Oracle. I actually wrote up some instructions here: https://github.com/mgrimace/Minecraft-on-Oracle . I didn't want my kids and their friends potentially breaking my home server so I opted to keep minecraft completely isolated.
MS Rewards (link) - This is a bot that farms MS rewards points. As it is, I run the script with the args set to `--headless` and `--daily 06:00`, then just close the console and let it idle.
There's a V2 (link) out by the same author but I can't get that working on this setup. I'd much prefer this as a docker so I can monitor its status, but I'm not skilled enough to know how to make it run in docker. There is a dockerfile in v2 of the repo, so if anyone knows how to get this running please let me know!
ArchiSteamFarm (link) - This is a robust service that farms for Steam cards. I don't know what steam cards are lol, but I use it entirely as a backend to claim free Steam games using this plugin. The plugin is cool, it scans reddit for posts of free games then claims them for you.

Epic freegames claimer (link) - same idea, scans and claims free Epic games. As it is, this is not working for me. I was able to get it running locally, the issue is that the service notifies you when a captcha needs solving, but the bot detection seems to have outpaced the script and even solving the captchas correctly gives you errors and fails to redeem the game.
Oh, I should mention the Minecraft widget has a known issue for Bedrock servers, it will always show as offline.
