Make the *arr stack hands-off — import lists that add titles automatically, quality profiles that grab the best release, and a notification that refreshes Plex or Jellyfin on import.
Stand up the full *arr stack in Docker Compose — Prowlarr, Radarr, Sonarr, and a VPN-shielded download client — with the single-root folder layout that enables instant hardlink imports.
A plain-English guide to the *arr stack — what Sonarr, Radarr, and Prowlarr each do, how they fit together, and how the automated media pipeline actually works.
Why Plex stutters on low-power CPUs, how Direct Play avoids transcoding entirely, and how to tune Plex so 4K files play smoothly without a beefy processor.
Name movie and TV files so Plex matches them automatically, pick the right metadata agents, and fix wrong titles and broken sort order in an existing library.
Set up Plex Media Server on a NAS or in a Proxmox LXC container, claim it to your account, and build your first movie and TV libraries the right way.
The right way to run Docker on Proxmox — why a dedicated VM beats a privileged LXC, how to set both up, and Portainer for a web UI. Avoid the docker-in-LXC pitfalls that cost real downtime.
Run Pi-hole in a Proxmox LXC container for network-wide ad blocking and local DNS — install it, point your router at it, add local hostnames, and avoid the one mistake that takes your whole network offline.
What a reverse proxy does, why every homelab needs one, and how Traefik gives your self-hosted services clean HTTPS URLs with automatic certificates instead of a mess of IP addresses and ports.
Go beyond basic chat with Open WebUI — set up Retrieval-Augmented Generation with local documents, configure pipeline tools, create specialized assistants with custom system prompts, and use the API for programmatic access.
Deploy Vaultwarden (the lightweight Bitwarden-compatible server) in an unprivileged Proxmox LXC container with HTTPS, automatic backups, and mobile client access via Tailscale.
Deploy Wiki.js in an unprivileged Proxmox LXC container with a PostgreSQL backend, HTTPS via a reverse proxy, and automatic backups — the exact setup powering this homelab's documentation.
