I run SimpleHomelab.com (formerly SmartHomeBeginner) and build tools that take the pain out of self-hosting.
- 🏗️ Building Deployrr: one tool to set up a full Docker homelab
- 📝 Writing guides on Docker, Traefik, Proxmox and self-hosting
- 💬 Hanging out with 2,000+ homelabbers on Discord
One tool to set up a full Docker homelab. Deployrr automates Docker and Docker Compose with 160+ ready-to-go apps, a Traefik reverse proxy with flexible exposure modes, CrowdSec, Authentik, Authelia, TinyAuth and Google OAuth, plus backup and restore. Runs on Ubuntu and Debian (Arch and RHEL-family as secondary) across bare metal, VMs, WSL and LXC.
