Seriously though, what happened here?

I was looking at purchasing a Google photos subscription, but then I thought maybe I could do it myself. I fell down this rabbit hole and I'm not coming back out, SUBSCRIPTION FREE WOOOOOO.

Anyway, it runs Debian 13 and some docker containers. It goes through Cloudflare Tunnels on my domain for remote access.

I set it all up in a single "~/homelab" directory with bind mounts (i love these so much) to make it super portable. I love that in the future I can setup a new machine, transfer the folder and start it in under an hour.

I was lucky enough to extra have RAM and Storage already, so I was able to pick up this barebones machine from a local electronics store for $150 CAD (~$110 USD)

So far I've got these set up:

- Dockge (Found this after struggling with Portainer for a while)

- Immich

- FileBrowser

- CraftyController (Minecraft Server Panel)

- Fireshare (Game Clip Sharing)

- Dashdot (System monitoring)

- Homarr (Dashboard)

Let me know what else I should try! I'm loving this so much so far!!!!!!
