Homelab

This setup is designed to be modular and easy to maintain. Each service is defined in its own docker-compose.yml file with environment variables for configuration. Since I'm behind a CGNAT, I use Cloudflare Zero Trust and a tunnel to expose my services to devices outside my network.

Note: This is not a tutorial but a personal reference. If you find it useful, feel free to use it. However, many configurations are stored in data folders, environment variables, or the Cloudflare dashboard, which are not included here. I won’t be providing support for this setup, but feel free to reach out if you have questions.

📂 Structure

The folder structure ensures easy maintenance by keeping each service isolated and organized:

/
├── docker-compose.yml
├── .env
├── apps/
│   ├── <service>/
│   │   ├── docker-compose.yml
│   │   ├── .env (when needed)
├── data/
│   ├── <service>/
├── books/
├── downloads/

• docker-compose.yml → Main file including all services.
• .env → Environment variables for the main docker-compose.yml file.
• apps/ → Each service has its own folder with a docker-compose.yml and an optional .env file.
• data/ → Persistent storage, mounted to containers to prevent data loss.
• books/ → Storage location for Calibre-Web books.
• downloads/ → Folder for qBittorrent downloads.
