Should we add a HomeLab section?

[Rob]

It'd probably go under the Server Linux section. I know I've run servers/setups at home for a long time and recently bought a new 'mini-pc' to play with..

Some topics i'd imagine in there:

• Obviously photos of different setups!
• NAS topics/questions
• home automation
• various hypervisors
• Setting up ssl on a home network
• port forwarding
• 'homepage' dashboards
• grafana, prometheus..
• media servers (plex, jellyfin)
• tunnels.. cloudflare, tailscale vpn
• nvr (security cams) .. frigate, zoneminder.. rtsp issues..
• game servers!

It's not all Linux related, but.. kinda is.

As I'm indifferent, I voted 'whatever'. That was largely based on the novelty of voting 'whatever'.

As it stands, I don't see too many questions. But I also like the idea of growth. So, there's a chance that adding the section will increase traffic and questions.

"If you build it, they will come." (That's not even remotely true, but folks will likely get the reference.)

media servers (plex, jellyfin)

nvr (security cams) .. frigate, zoneminder.. rtsp issues

game servers!

It's not all Linux related, but.. kinda is.

I listed the topics/subjects that I have seen at some stage, in the past few years, appearing here at Linux.org

Not a huge quantity, but there are people, who if they get the info that help is available here, will pay a visit.

That's a Yes from me.

Not an area I am interested in, but if it increases foot fall, then why not.

I'm too late for the poll but I voted correctly.
