It’s finally time to add some “useful” services to my Homelab. Everything so far has been about managing the server “infrastructure”, but now it’s time to add services that I actually intend to use on a regular basis. The first service I’m going to add is Nextcloud.
Let’s continue from where I left off in the last post. I’m attempting to set up remote access to my homelab’s services and so far I haven’t been successful. Check out my previous post here if you haven’t already. I’m going to start today’s attempts by changing my existing services to use traefik as a reverse proxy.
Remember how I said I was using Seafile? I changed my mind. I slept on the idea and realised I’m going to be putting in more effort to set it up than if I were to use Nextcloud. With how popular nextcloud is, there’s way more community support and documentation available, so I decided to switch over to Nextcloud.
I was in the middle of reorganising my bedroom-workshop when I found my unused mini-PC. I originally got it for use as an all-in-one homelab, with proxmox for virtualisation, a Pfsense router, and a NAS, but I never managed to get it working. It was a pain to manage and was way more effort than it was worth, so the mini-PC was left to gather dust.
