Homelab Setup
Overview
Setting up a personal homelab using a ThinkPad laptop running Arch Linux to move away from cloud providers like Google.
Goals
- Linux installation (Arch Linux on ThinkPad)
- SSH remote access (hostname: homelab)
- Dotfiles and development environment setup
- Network domain setup
- Self-hosted cloud storage (ownCloud/Nextcloud)
- Self-hosted git repository (Gitea/Forgejo/GitLab)
- Gradual migration from commercial cloud services
Hardware
- Main Server: ThinkPad laptop
- Development: Windows PC with WSL (for AI experimentation)
- Android tablet: Not good for long-term work but can be useful for short SSH sessions
- Runs Manjaro in a VM, same OS like the laptop
Inspiration & Resources
- PewDiePie homelab setup video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_Lxkt50xOg
- Need to collect tips and inspiration from this video
Current Status
- ✅ Arch Linux installed on ThinkPad
- ✅ SSH access configured (accessible as
homelab) - ✅ Dotfiles management with yadm configured and merged
- ✅ Development environment setup completed
- ✅ Network domain setup (DuckDNS + Nginx reverse proxy)
- ✅ Gitea Git server running (Docker container)
- Next: SSL certificates, additional self-hosted services
