Self-Hosting-Guide

Why we included this project

Anyone who wants to run their own services instead of renting them from a cloud provider will find this one of the most complete single-file roadmaps around. It reads like a curated syllabus rather than a tool, starting with your first container and reverse proxy, then moving through databases, monitoring, VPNs, and home automation, with separate deep dives on WireGuard, Nextcloud, Raspberry Pi, Grafana, Docker, and Kubernetes. The LLM and chatbot sections stand out for people who want to self-host models and assistants, and the hardware, OS, and storage chapters help you pick a solid foundation before you install anything. Because it is a living index with links to tutorials, books, podcasts, and subreddits, it works best as a starting point to plan a homelab and then branch out to the specific projects it points to.
