Logs from VahaC — Homelab, Docker, Proxmox, AI Tools
A hands-on tech blog by a developer who builds, breaks, and documents real self-hosted infrastructure — so you don’t have to figure it all out from scratch.
Every post is written the way I wish I’d found it: exact configs, honest troubleshooting notes, and clear explanations of why things are set up this way — not just how.
What you’ll find here:
🖥️ Self-Hosted Services — Deploying and securing Bitwarden, Nextcloud, Jellyfin, qBittorrent, and more in Docker containers on home servers.
🔧 Proxmox & Storage — Installing Proxmox VE, ZFS pools, LXC containers, backups, WireGuard VPN, and SMART monitoring with Scrutiny.
🏠 Home Assistant & ESPHome — Dashboards, automations, LVGL touch displays, CrowdSec security, Zigbee devices, and custom integrations.
⚡ Hardware & DIY — ESP32 projects, TDS/flow sensors, OpenWrt routers, 3D printing, and real-world wiring experiments.
📡 Networking & Security — Nginx Proxy Manager, Cloudflare, reverse proxies, SSL, VPN access, and intrusion detection
