HomelabAddiction is a technical blog focused on home labbing, self-hosting, and open-source infrastructure.
The goal is simple:
to document practical setups, real-world configurations, and lessons learned while running services at home – without unnecessary hype or fluff.
Here you’ll find guides and write-ups on topics such as:
Self-hosting applications and services
Docker, containers, and orchestration
Virtualization and hypervisors
Storage, networking, and backups
Open-source tools used in real home labs
Most articles are written from hands-on experience, with an emphasis on clarity, reproducibility, and long-term maintainability.
HomelabAddiction is built for:
Developers and engineers
Self-hosting enthusiasts
Learners building their first home lab
Anyone interested in owning and understanding their infrastructure
This site is independently run and continuously evolving as new tools, setups, and experiments are explored.
Accountable publisher
HomelabAddiction is the accountable publisher. Articles use the organizational byline HomelabAddiction Research Desk, which represents an automated research and drafting workflow rather than an individual person.
How we prepare articles
Existing published articles may remain accessible and indexable while they move through the remediation workflow. A needs-review label is not a claim that an article has passed final evidence review. New articles must pass approval before indexing.
An article may be approved as hands-on or mixed only when it identifies the real test environment, dates, methodology, supporting evidence, and limitations. Research-only articles must not imply personal testing.
Approval requires source verification and an accurate last-verified date. Readers can submit correction requests through the contact page.
