This is a bi-weekly "self-hosting" home lab meetup, geared towards makers/hackers new to the concept of setting up a home lab. The idea would be to discuss and help out each other with fun, privacy focused self-hosted topics, like...
- Setting up your first budget-friendly home server
- Comparing easy drop-in one-click install solutions to manage your server
- Home Assistant for smart home devices and automations
- DIY Dropbox / Google Drive alternatives
- Self-hosted Google Photos replacement
- Private Netflix/Spotify for legally obtained movies/shows
- Running AI at home without giving away your draft novel
- Ad-blocking solutions
- Cloudless security camera
- Backups galore
- And more!
So if you're a beginner or tech-savvy, come and join! Note, this is piggybacking on Linux Club.
