2AM Homelab

About

This site is a collection of postmortems from one real homelab: an Unraid server with too many containers, a couple of GPUs doing local AI, a handful of game-server nodes, and all the reverse-proxy glue in between.

Every article describes something that actually broke here — usually discovered at an inconvenient hour — and the fix that actually worked, written up afterwards with the error messages left in so search engines can match them. No rewritten documentation, no "10 best" lists, no speculation about hardware I haven't run.

Details that would map articles back to a specific network (addresses, hostnames, domain names) are changed or generalized. The failures and fixes are reported exactly as they happened.

Disclosure

Some posts contain affiliate links, always marked with a disclosure box. I only link hardware I bought with my own money and used in the fixes described.
