  • traefik

    The Cloud Native Application Proxy

  • Traefik for internal reverse proxy. I use this in combination with Cloudflare and Let's Encrypt for wildcard certificates for all my internal stuff.

  • panel

    Pterodactyl® is a free, open-source game server management panel built with PHP, React, and Go. Designed with security in mind, Pterodactyl runs all game servers in isolated Docker containers while exposing a beautiful and intuitive UI to end users.

  • Pterodactyl panel for hosting games on my home network. Just the panel, not the actual agent.

  • Pi-hole

    A black hole for Internet advertisements

  • I currently have two Raspberry Pi's. One runs PiHole and was the first thing I ever set up. The other runs a Hoobs image. I have plans to move both onto my server rather than on these Pi's.

  • nx

    Smart Monorepos · Fast CI

  • My third VM is a pretty basic Ubuntu server where I run a GitHub Actions Self Hosted Runner. I have all of my custom homelab code in an NX Monorepo workspace on GitHub in a private repo. That repository using GitHub actions to build all the docker containers and push them to GitHub Container Registry, and all of that runs on my self hosted runner.

  • WLED

    Control WS2812B and many more types of digital RGB LEDs with an ESP8266 or ESP32 over WiFi!

  • My next major home project is to install custom holiday LED lights on my house and control them all via WLED.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
