My self-hosting corner
self-hosting homelab
Self-hosting is the hobby that quietly ate all my other hobbies. It started with wanting my own git remote and turned into a small Proxmox box running a handful of services I now depend on daily:
- Forgejo at git.kjan.de — my own git forge, CI included
- A mail server, because at some point “how hard can it be” becomes a personality trait
- A pile of smaller services behind a reverse proxy, most of which I forget exist until they break
Kubernetes is next on the list. I’ve had a small cluster running before just to poke at it, but I want to actually get something into production on it this time instead of tearing it down after a weekend.
More notes on this as the homelab evolves.
