Home Server Setup

My home server running all my self-hosted services.

Hardware

CPU: Intel Core i3-3220 @ 3.30GHz (4 cores)
RAM: 12GB
Storage: 1.8TB (single drive, /dev/sda1)
GPU: Intel integrated (passed through to containers via /dev/dri for hardware transcoding)

OS

Debian 12 (Bookworm), kernel 6.1.0-41-amd64.

Directory Layout

/app-config/                  # All container configs
  docker-compose.yaml         # Single compose file for everything
  jackett/
  plex/
  qbittorrent/
  radarr/
  sonarr/
  tautulli/
  adguardhome/
  adguardhome/

/data/                        # All media and downloads
  media/
    movies/
    tv/
  torrents/
    downloads/

All services run from a single docker-compose.yaml in /app-config/. Everything uses PUID=1000 / PGID=1000 and TZ=Europe/Paris.

Network

LAN IP: 192.168.0.15
Local hostname: homelab.internal (via AdGuard Home DNS rewrite)
Remote access: Twingate connector (zero-trust, no port forwarding needed)
DNS: AdGuard Home on port 53, with web UI on port 3000

Maintenance

Watchtower auto-updates all containers daily at 02:00 and cleans up old images.

Cronitor Jobs

Two scripts monitored by Cronitor:

/usr/local/bin/disk_full.sh -- if /dev/sda1 goes above 90% capacity, clears /data/torrents/downloads/ and restarts qBittorrent
/usr/local/bin/check.sh -- heartbeat ping to confirm the server is alive
