It is the small server stack behind a lot of the things I run at home: storage, media, automation, agents, and self-hosted tools.\n\n## What I've set up\n\nThe core setup is Unraid running on a NUC PC at home. From there I can host a mix of Docker containers and VMs, which gives me a flexible base for the services I actually use day to day.\n\nThat includes things like Home Assistant, Plex, Hermes agents, OpenClaw agents, validator infrastructure, and the supporting services that keep those systems useful. It is not polished enterprise infrastructure; it is practical, local, and close enough that I notice quickly when something breaks."}
