My first steps into self hosting and my homelab dashboard (alien.top)

Homer dashboard with custom theme

After lurking for years on this subreddit I finally bought a mini PC for the soul purpose of experimenting with self hosting. So the past few days I've been learning about Docker and stealing all your docker-compose files and combined them into something I could actually use.

The code is available on Github. Please give me some feedback because I'm 200% sure I did a lot the wrong way. What I've however learned from you guys is to document what you're doing when you're doing it instead of later (never).

Looks awesome! You’ll fall deeper and deeper into this rabbit hole in no time haha.

Also, sole = only

soul = the spirit / essence of a person or something.

It's crazy! I'm really looking forward to tinker with it every time I'm done working!

Thanks for the correction! English is not my mother tongue.

wow, your homelab dashboard looks amazing! It's awesome to see someone taking the plunge into self hosting and experimenting with Docker. I'll definitely check out your code on Github and see if I can provide any feedback. Keep up the great work and keep documenting your progress – it's super helpful for others in the community!
