NixOS got me into homelabbing. Before nix, the maintenance burden of running a home server felt too high. Now I run lots of things, and the incremental cost of running one more service or app is low enough that I explore lots more.
Here’s what all I’m running:
- NixOS based router. NAT, DNS, DHCP.
- NixOS NAS + app server. ZFS for storage, and I run radarr, sonarr, NZBGet, nginx hosting various websites and reverse proxy to most of the services listed here, homebridge, zigbee2mqtt, Octoprint, grafana, and more.
Let’s encrypt/ACME certs for each virtual host, and it Just Works thanks to the NixOS nginx modules that make it super easy.
I highly recommend NixOS if you want to have a single service running a ton of different apps. It will keep you sane.
