What are your Homelab goals for 2025? (slrpnk.net)

Personally will be trying to transform my server which is currently in a fractal R5 case, into a small-ish Homelab rack, combined with all my network equipment. Will require complete relocation of all network equipment in the house as well as cables so it will be a bit of a project. Also on the lookout for a good quality rack so let me know if you have any recs. Still unsure if u want to do full width rack or mini. Part of me really want the UDM Pro from Unifi..

What are your goals and thing you want to accomplish during 2025?

Get a domain and set about moving over to HTTPS with Let's encrypt and Nginx.

Learn to write an Nginx config. NPM just works so good though.

Fix my permission issues. I have my media zpool on 777 so all the LXCs work and I have to run Libation in a VM as root. I've been banging my head against this on and off for a while.

Figure out why paperless isn't saving to the correct place. Also, figure out where Paperless is saving to.

Containerise Libation.

I give friends and family access to my server via a relay, just a raspberry pi 0 with Tailscale, pihole and nginx on it. I have reasons for going this route. Anyways, get a couple more of those into the wild. Also streamline the process somewhat.

Learn to and create an ACL config for tailscale so I can have services access nothing, users access services, and admins access everything.

Why not caddy?

Momentum really. I'm on NPM now, it works and it's great. I didn't put much thought into it. I'm generally happy with npm, it's mostly just something to learn next and plain nginx made sense.

Check out traefik as an alternative to nginx or npm
