About this tag
The home lab tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about self-hosted infrastructure, virtualization, and lightweight server setups. Topics include using Proxmox VE to manage VMs and containers on a single physical server, turning a desktop PC into a flexible home lab for multiple operating systems, and building a privacy-focused Raspberry Pi stack with tools like Pi-hole, Joplin, and Navidrome. Glance, a self-hosted dashboard, is highlighted for unifying scattered services into a single view. The tag also touches on Linux-powered NAS and enterprise storage trends. These threads focus on practical, hands-on homelab configurations for enthusiasts and administrators.
