Linux Cgroups v2 Guide — Docker Container Resource Management
Learn Linux cgroups v2 for Docker resource control: memory.max and memory.hard limits, CPU quotas, I/O throttling, PSI monitoring, and compose deploy.resources configs. Includes real container debugging and OOM prevention.
Cilium CNI for K3s — eBPF Networking in the Homelab
Replace K3s default Flannel with Cilium CNI for accelerated eBPF networking, remove kube-proxy, gain Hubble observability, and enforce identity-based network policies in a lightweight homelab cluster.
Container Runtimes: runc vs crun for Docker Performance in Homelab
Compare runc and crun container runtimes for Docker on Linux. Benchmark startup times, memory profiles, and io_uring performance. Switch runtimes in ~60 seconds with a daemon.json change.
Docker Overlay2 Storage Driver — Layers, Disk Usage, Troubleshooting
Everything about Docker’s overlay2 storage driver — how overlay layers work, tracking disk usage by layer, recovering space from dangling layers, and performance tuning on ZFS-backed Proxmox hosts. Real commands, real output.
Paperless-ngx Docker Deployment — AI-Powered Document Management
Deploy Paperless-ngx with Docker Compose in your homelab. Covers OCR processing, ML-based document classification, consumption templates, automated ingestion, and Traefik reverse proxy integration.
Docker Monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana in Homelab
Deploy Prometheus, Grafana, cAdvisor, and node_exporter via Docker Compose for full homelab monitoring. Real configs for metrics collection, dashboards, and alerting.
ntfy Self-Hosted Push Notification Server for Homelab Alerts
Deploy ntfy.sh on Docker for push notifications across your entire homelab. From Uptime Kuma to Prometheus Alertmanager, get real-time mobile alerts for everything with a single HTTP POST.
Podman Rootless Containers — A Docker Alternative for Homelab
Run containers without a root daemon. Migrate your homelab from Docker to Podman for true rootless operation, systemd-native container management, and drop-in docker CLI compatibility.
Docker Supply Chain Security — SBOM, Image Signing, and Verification
Practical guide to securing your container supply chain in the homelab: generate SBOMs with Syft, sign images with Cosign, scan for vulnerabilities with Grype, and enforce Docker Content Trust.
