Homelab Media Box on Hetzner (16TB)
My resilient, affordable self‑hosted media stack with Portainer, Caddy, VPN routing, and automated media management.

This is the infrastructure behind my media life: consistent, quiet, and easy to maintain. It emphasizes sensible defaults and observability over over‑engineering.
Highlights
- Reverse‑proxy simplicity with Caddy
- Health checks and dashboards via Portainer
- Privacy‑respecting networking with VPN routing
I like systems that look boring from the outside and feel delightful from the inside.
Notes
- Backups: off‑site snapshots on a schedule
- Monitoring: simple dashboards, not an observability thesis
- Power: graceful shutdowns and UPS alerts
