About SelfhostRealm
SelfhostRealm is a resource for people who want to run their own infrastructure — from a single Pi-hole on a Raspberry Pi to a full Proxmox cluster with TrueNAS storage.
What we cover
- Docker and container stacks — practical Compose files, networking, and the services worth running
- Hypervisors and virtualization — Proxmox, TrueNAS Scale, Unraid, and how to choose between them
- Hardware — NAS builds, mini PCs, low-power servers, and what to look for when buying used
- Self-hosted app guides — step-by-step setup for Nextcloud, Vaultwarden, Jellyfin, Home Assistant, and dozens more
- Networking — VLANs, reverse proxies, DNS, and getting remote access right
Who this is for
Beginners who are running their first home server and experienced homelabbers looking to level up. We write for both. If you’re tired of paying subscription fees for services you could run yourself — and own your data in the process — you’re in the right place.
