3. Portainer

   2 348 33,576 9.6 TypeScript

   Making Docker and Kubernetes management easy.

   

   Since I'm not using Kubernetes/K3S to manage the orchestration, I simply use Docker Compose files, which I manage in folders and track with Git. Secrets and credentials are stored securely using .env files — nothing is hardcoded. For maintenance, I use Portainer. The whole Docker management and Ubuntu itself run on the internal SSD for the fastest speed possible, ensuring no other services interfere.

   I recommend checking out Trash Guides for more details about the arr stack. For the whole media server setup, I dedicated a 3TB HDD, which is enough for now. Later, I can upgrade using JBOD bays: What is JBOD?

   7 1,050 23,530 9.9 Go

   The easiest, most secure way to use WireGuard and 2FA.

    NetAlertX is something fun I’m experimenting with — it provides network alerts when a device connects to the network for the first time. Whether it’s expected or possibly an intruder, I get a full notification with hostname and device info. Feels like a "network intruder alert".
