Built a centralized, self-hosted homepage using Homarr to monitor and manage local services and infrastructure. Integrated apps like Radarr, Sonarr, Plex, Proxmox, and Pi-hole for real-time visibility, status tracking, and one-click access to key tools. Custom widgets display weather, network usage, and links to essential resources, all secured behind a reverse proxy.

Deployed Traefik as a dynamic reverse proxy for all self-hosted services, with automatic HTTPS via Let's Encrypt using Cloudflare DNS challenge. Configured with Docker labels for secure routing, middleware for security headers and redirects, and basic authentication for dashboard access. This setup enables centralized, encrypted access to containers across the home lab.

Radarr is deployed in a secure Docker container with traffic routed through a VPN (Gluetun) for privacy. It’s configured to automatically monitor, download, and organize movies into a structured media library. Integrated with other services like Sonarr and Overseerr, and accessed securely via Traefik with HTTPS and domain-based routing.

Configured Pi-hole in Docker with a static IP for reliable network-wide ad and tracker blocking. It uses Unbound as a local recursive DNS resolver for enhanced privacy and speed. The setup is secured with TLS via Traefik, and integrates into the custom Docker network for seamless communication with other self-hosted services.

Deployed Unbound in Docker as a secure, recursive DNS resolver integrated with Pi-hole. Configured with a static IP in the Docker network, it provides encrypted, privacy-focused DNS resolution without relying on third-party providers. Serves as the upstream resolver for Pi-hole, improving both speed and control over DNS queries.
