Home Lab for fun & profit
summary
Built a €1,800–2,000 AMD desktop to replace a dying MacBook and turn it into a home lab that actually pays: boots Arch Linux for work (bash, tmux, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform) and runs Windows for light gaming, then exposes services via WireGuard to a Scaleway VPS with Cloudflare Dynamic DNS. Runs Nextcloud, Pi‑hole, Plex and automations behind Nomad + Consul + Vault + Ansible + Caddy, upgrades to 32 GB RAM, 4 TB mirrored storage, and uses the lab for backups, invoicing and media serving—everything works and keeps expanding.
