Ask HN: Do You Have a Homelab?

9•ricardbejarano•8h ago
I'm Ricard Bejarano, and together with O'Reilly, I'm writing The Homelab Handbook, the definitive guide to homelabbing and self-hosting.

To inspire readers, we want the last chapter to be a series of real world homelab examples, to show there's not one prescription for what a homelab is—a homelab is what you make it. As such, we're looking for homelabbers that would like to have their homelabs featured in the book. We're looking for variety, in hardware, software, and scale—from a single Raspberry Pi, to full-height racks in the basement—so don't be shy to share yours.

If you'd like to submit yours to be featured in the book, please complete the following form:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScLc16kBFDY3liuEz_a40CF1sYz7yeqPmy1CKVhufHNSzjhIA/viewform

Form submission deadline is Apr 12th, 2026. We will reach out to all submitters shortly after that with a response on whether your homelab was selected or not. If we accept yours, you will be asked to share more details so I can write a proper section about it. Your answers below will not be published, they're only for selection purposes.

Yes, it was probably one of my better decisions and investments in the past years. I run a ton of things I never would have paid to run in the cloud and feel in control. I've even started making money from one of the projects.

Tons of small things feel nice, taking notes and I don't have to use Google Docs if I don't want. Watching a movie from my home media center etc

The main thing I self-host (at home, as opposed to in the cloud) these days is Ollama. I did build a big, beefy server with an AMD RX 7090XTX card a couple of years ago for AI experimenting and the main thing I do with it lately is run Ollama for local models.

I self-host a bunch of other stuff (bugzilla, mediawiki, suitecrm, apache roller, etc) but all that stuff is on VPS's from OVH.

If you haven't yet, please submit yours if you'd be happy to have it featured in the examples section of the book.

I've never been very clear what a "homelab" actually is. Anyone care to offer a definitin or description?
