docs, guides and walkthroughs, mostly for homelabbing
Welcome to the Path of the Unrouted wiki — a personal knowledge base, guidebook, and digital lab notebook for building, experimenting with, and documenting all things self-hosted and homelab.
This is a living wiki that follows my journey through building and refining a modern, secure, and efficient home infrastructure. Whether you’re curious about Proxmox, Docker, Tailscale, or just want to self-host some cool tools, this wiki aims to guide you through each step with:
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| Start a Homelab | First steps, gear, and concepts |
| Proxmox Setup | Virtualization environment basics |
| Docker & Portainer | Container management made simple |
| Tailscale VPN | Secure access without port forwarding |
| Pi-hole / DNS | Local DNS, ad-blocking & service routing |
| Nextcloud | Self-hosted cloud & file sync |
| Dashboards (Homarr / Dashy) | Central control of your services |
| Media Server (Jellyfin) | Self-hosted media streaming |
| Hardware Inventory | What powers the lab |
“A homelab is just a computer. It’s not about the gear — it’s about the ownership of your infrastructure.”
