Hey y’all, I know getting a setup that feels “right” can be a process. We all have different goals, tech preferences, etc.

I wanted to a share my blog post walking through how I finally built a setup that I can just be happy with and use. It goes over my goals, requirements, tech choices, layout, and some specific problems I’ve resolved.

Where I’ve landed of course isn’t where everyone else will, but I hope it can serve as a good reference. I’ve really benefited from the content and software folks have freely shared, and hope I can continue that and help others.

Happy to answer questions!

Our setups are VERY different but today I learned about FoundryVTT and that's pretty freakin rad. Thanks for sharing!

Bookmarked to read later. Lots of interesting stuff that I've heard before (Tailscale, local auth, etc.) that I really need to consider for my own homelab.
