Manually editing `services.yaml` for Homepage is a chore. I prefer Docker labels for *automatic service discovery*. It's a game-changer for managing your dashboard. How do you add services to your Homepage? simplehomelab.com/homepage-d… #homelab #docker #selfhosted

5 Reasons LXC Containers Crush Virtual Machines in Proxmox youtu.be/k10966gcusU?si=SvwJ…

Docker on Proxmox LXC 🚀 The Better Way (2026 Updated Guide) youtu.be/5RZJrAba0-A

Struggling with granular access for homelab apps? My latest Traefik guide introduces 4 entrypoints & specific port forwarding (80->81, 443->444) for better control. This is a big one. simplehomelab.com/udms-18-tr… #homelab #traefik #docker

My 2025 Traefik guide introduces separate `web-internal` & `web-external` entrypoints. This gives you granular control to expose apps selectively. Secure some for internet, keep others local – crucial for homelab setups. simplehomelab.com/udms-18-tr… #homelab #traefik #docker

Never expose your Docker socket directly. Use Socket Proxy as a firewall for your Docker API. This prevents containers from gaining root access if compromised, making your homelab setup 'secure by design'. simplehomelab.com/udms-14-do… #homelab #docker #security

Ditching Docker Labels for Traefik routes? My 2025 guide's big shift: use File Provider. It means zero container recreates on config changes & no Docker Socket access! simplehomelab.com/udms-18-tr… #homelab #docker #traefik

Choosing Traefik config? File Provider (YAML files) gives you dynamic updates, cleaner configs, no container restarts & improved security. A big win over Docker labels for homelabs. simplehomelab.com/udms-18-tr… #homelab #docker #traefik

Want truly dynamic Traefik configs without restarting containers? The File Provider method lets you update routes on the fly – a huge leap over Docker labels for homelab flexibility & security. simplehomelab.com/udms-18-tr… #homelab #docker #traefik

Want rock-solid reliability for your Proxmox system? Installing it on a ZFS RAID 1 mirror is a top strategy for data integrity. youtube.com/watch?v=2nIPY7D-… #proxmox #homelab #zfs

Heads up! Running media servers (Plex, Jellyfin) behind Cloudflare's *proxy* is against their ToS & can get your account disabled. Use page rules to bypass cache. simplehomelab.com/udms-18-tr… #homelab #traefik #cloudflare

My latest Traefik guide introduces 4 distinct entrypoints (web-internal/external, websecure-internal/external) for granular control. Expose apps only internally, externally, or both. Big improvement for homelab security. simplehomelab.com/udms-18-tr… #homelab #docker #traefik

Homelab automation tools often restrict you to their app list. But with Deployrr, you're not locked in! Easily add any Docker app beyond the 150+ officially supported. Unlock true flexibility. simplehomelab.com/deployrr/ #homelab #docker #selfhosted

Forget custom DNS for your new Docker LXC on Proxmox. For initial setup, just pick the defaults! Simplifies getting your container up & running fast. youtube.com/watch?v=-ZSQdJ62… #homelab #docker #proxmox

When setting up Traefik middlewares, don't sweat the YAML file name! What's *inside* the file defines your middleware, not the file name itself. Super common confusion in the homelab. youtube.com/watch?v=SCKALXpr… #homelab #traefik #docker

Setting up Traefik + Let's Encrypt? Don't miss this one critical step after creating your acme.json file: `chmod 600 acme.json`. Miss it and Traefik won't start & fetch certificates. Seriously, check it! simplehomelab.com/udms-18-tr… #homelab #traefik #docker

In my latest Traefik guide, I'm ditching old .htpasswd files for Docker Secrets. A more secure-by-design approach for basic auth and API tokens. It's a small but mighty shift. simplehomelab.com/udms-18-tr… #homelab #docker #traefik

Tired of restarting Traefik for config changes? Using a File Provider for app routes means instant updates without container recreates. Cleaner, faster, more secure – it's how Deployrr does it. simplehomelab.com/udms-18-tr… #traefik #docker #homelab

Setting 'restart: no' for Docker media apps (like Plex) is counter-intuitive but crucial if your media lives on remote mounts. Prevents issues when drives aren't ready at boot. simplehomelab.com/udms-14-do… #homelab #docker #mediaserver

Authentik got a HUGE simplification! If you thought it was too complex for your homelab because of Redis, think again. Version 2025.10+ moves all caching to PostgreSQL. Have you tried Authentik since this change? simplehomelab.com/udms-21-au… #homelab #authentik #docker
