Home Lab: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 17:39, 23 February 2025

Hosted at Pumping Station: One, 3519 N Elston Ave, Chicago, IL 60618, upstairs. Happening every other Thursday, check out the PS1 calendar to see when the next one is. Open to members and the public!

This is a bi-weekly "self-hosting" meetup, geared towards makers/hackers new to the concept of setting up a home lab. The idea would be to discuss and help out each other with fun, privacy focused self-hosted topics, like...

Setting up your first budget-friendly home server
Comparing easy drop-in one-click install solutions to manage your server
Home Assistant for smart home devices and automations
DIY Dropbox / Google Drive alternatives
Self-hosted Google Photos replacement
Private Netflix/Spotify for legally obtained movies/shows
Running AI at home without giving away your draft novel
Ad-blocking solutions
Cloudless security camera
Backups galore
And more!

So if you're a beginner or tech-savvy, come and join! Note, this is piggybacking on Linux Club.

Got questions? Poke Rubin.

Links to cool projects.
