Show HN: Homelab Creator – Docker course and configs for self-hosting

https://homelab-creator.com
1•rafalgawlik•4h ago
Hey HN,

I've been running my own homelab for 4+ years (2 servers, 15+ services). After helping friends set up theirs, I noticed the same pattern: they'd spend weeks piecing together random tutorials, debugging YAML indentation, and giving up before getting anything running.

So I built Homelab Creator - a structured course + ready-to-deploy Docker Compose configs.

What's included: - 12-lesson Docker fundamentals course (from zero to docker-compose) - 15 production-ready service configs (Jellyfin, Nextcloud, Gitea, Grafana, etc.) - 6 remote access guides (Cloudflare Tunnels, Traefik, WireGuard, Tailscale) - All configs tested on both x86 and ARM (Raspberry Pi)

Tech stack: Next.js, hosted on Vercel, payments via Stripe.

I know there's tons of free content out there. The value here is having everything organized, tested together, and beginner-friendly in one place. Not for everyone - if you're already running 20+ containers, you don't need this.

Launch price is $19.

Happy to answer any questions about the technical setup or the configs themselves.

Hey HN, creator here.

I've been running my own homelab for 4+ years (2 Linux servers, 15+ services). After helping friends set up theirs, I noticed the same pattern: weeks spent piecing together random tutorials, debugging YAML, and giving up before getting anything running.

What's included: - 12-lesson Docker fundamentals (from zero to docker-compose) - 15 tested configs (Jellyfin, Nextcloud, Gitea, Grafana, Vaultwarden, etc.) - 6 remote access methods (Cloudflare Tunnels, Traefik, WireGuard, Tailscale) - All tested on x86 and ARM/Raspberry Pi

I know there's tons of free content out there. This is for people who value having everything organized and tested in one place over spending weekends on Stack Overflow.

Happy to answer questions about the configs or tech stack (Next.js, Vercel, Stripe).
