A guide and collection of shell scripts for building a lightweight, energy-efficient self-hosted home server based on Docker microservices, as an alternative to Synology, Unraid, or TrueNAS. It bundles preconfigured services like a file cloud (FileRun), password manager (Vaultwarden), OnlyOffice, Firefox Sync, and AdGuard Home behind a secured reverse proxy.

Use cases

  • set up a self-hosted home server with docker
  • replace synology or unraid with a lightweight homeserver
  • host my own file cloud and sync devices
  • self-host a password manager like bitwarden
  • run a home media and file server on low-power hardware
  • set up adguard home dns filtering at home
  • deploy self-hosted services behind a reverse proxy with my own domain

When to choose

  • you want a curated, low-maintenance guide plus scripts to self-host common services on your own hardware
  • you prefer docker microservices over turnkey NAS operating systems
  • you want an energy-efficient always-on home server that can double as a desktop workstation

When to avoid

  • you want a polished GUI-driven NAS experience out of the box
  • you need official support or a permissively licensed codebase (the repo has no license)
  • you are not comfortable with the Linux command line and manual maintenance
