Self-hosted services you should be running in your home lab
A quick rundown of self-hosted services worth running on a Raspberry Pi or home server, from ad blocking to uptime monitoring.
I'm a web developer based in South Tyrol - Bruneck, Italy. I build things for the web — from small personal projects to production-ready websites — with a focus on clean code, good performance, minimal complexity and bleeding edge technologies.
I'm currently passionate about the modern JavaScript ecosystem, especially Vue and Nuxt, but I also spend a lot of time on the server side: containerising services, hardening Linux servers, and squeezing every bit of performance out of an HTTP stack.
When I'm not writing code, I ask AI tons of questions. I prefer to use Anthropics Claude for difficult tasks or explanations and for standard tech questions I use ChatGPT because it has a higher usage limit as Claude. This blog is my place to share what I've learned, document useful patterns, and occasionally rant about things that don't work the way they should.
