Automate Docker dependency updates in your homelab with Renovate Bot. Self-host or use the cloud bot to scan Docker Compose files and Dockerfiles, then open pull requests with version bumps, digest updates, and changelog summaries.
Learn how Docker Compose override files let you manage dev, staging, and production deployments from a single base docker-compose.yml — with port mapping overrides, resource limits, volume mounts, and security hardening for your homelab.
Deploy Portainer with Docker Compose for visual container management across your homelab. Covers CE vs Business Edition, multi-host agent setup, stack deployment, security hardening, and backup strategies.
Deploy a self-hosted Docusaurus documentation site to document your homelab infrastructure. Covers Docker deployment, Traefik reverse proxy, Markdown organization, version-controlled docs, and auto-build with GitHub webhooks.
Learn how Docker Compose profiles let you start only the services you need — enable monitoring, disable dev tools in production, and keep a single docker-compose.yml for your entire homelab stack.
Automate Proxmox LXC and VM provisioning using Terraform or OpenTofu with a GitOps pipeline — declarative infrastructure, remote state, and CI/CD from Git pushes.
Deploy Docker Swarm in single-node mode for orchestration in your homelab — initialize the cluster, convert Compose files to stacks, deploy Portainer and Traefik, and manage persistent storage with NFS.
Learn to automate your homelab with Ansible — inventory management, playbook layout, roles, vault secrets, and Proxmox integration for reproducible server deployments.
Replace cron with systemd timer units for reliable, observable homelab task scheduling — persistent schedules, real journald logging, monotonic intervals, and hardened service units with practical backup, maintenance, and healthcheck examples.
Harden Linux systemd services with built-in sandboxing directives — ProtectHome, ProtectSystem, CapabilityBoundingSet, NoNewPrivileges, PrivateTmp, and systemd-analyze security scoring. Includes real hardened service files for common homelab daemons.
