An Ansible playbook that turns a stock Ubuntu machine into a full-featured home server or NAS replacement. It provisions a curated catalog of self-hosted applications (media streaming, file sync, password management, dashboards, and more) via Docker containers with sensible defaults.

Use cases

  • build a home server with ansible
  • replace freenas with ubuntu
  • self-host media streaming apps
  • set up a homelab from one playbook
  • deploy docker apps on ubuntu server
  • run a personal NAS at home
  • automate homelab setup

When to choose

  • you want a reproducible, code-defined home server on Ubuntu
  • you prefer Ansible and Docker over NAS appliance OSes
  • you want a large catalog of preconfigured self-hosted apps with optional external access

When to avoid

  • you need ZFS-native NAS features or a GUI like TrueNAS/Unraid
  • you don't use Ubuntu or aren't comfortable with Ansible
  • you want a plug-and-play appliance rather than infrastructure-as-code
