An overview of my current homelab architecture, focusing on a transition from complex orchestration to a simplified Docker Compose-based setup.
An over-engineered Home Lab with Docker and Kubernetes.
Setting up a personal Home Lab is not a task for lazy people: it incurrs a big cost of maintenance and issues arise even though we might use the best IT-Infrastructure practices… but we can always learn a lot out of it and make it also super fun. In this post I would like to share my journey and share some tips and tricks and issues I bumped into. Let’s jump in!

My declarative multi-machine homelab, explained | Bas Nijholt
Friends keep asking how my homelab works, so I wrote it all down, starting from zero. Four NixOS machines run about 150 containers behind one Traefik front door, and with WireGuard and my own Headscale server I reach my self-hosted services from anywhere over encrypted HTTPS connections, while strangers on the internet get nothing. The part I think is the coolest is the balance: everything is declarative and lives in git, but with as little machinery as possible.
