About

Project Homelab was forked from the defunct Open Homelab Project in July of 2020. We wanted to expand on Open Homelab and update it since it was falling into disarray. Homelabbing is important to us and so we wanted to keep it going. The original Open Homelab project started as a nugget of an idea for a roundtable discussion session at the London VMUG in April 2016.

This site is sponsored by NodeSpace Hosting, which is a hosting provider that believes in homelabbing and providing services to homelabbers to extend their home network to the Internet in a safe, and secure manner.

Why?

Homelab presentations are some of the most popular at technical user groups. The challenge is that unless they are recorded, the contents of these sessions is always lost at the end of the day, and only the attendees could consume the information and utilise it. What is needed is a method for crowdsourcing and capturing the collective homelab knowledge and experiences of the community, to provide people with a single source of information and advice which will help them make decisions on the best homelab solution for them, based on their individual requirements.

Although the site was started from a VMware user group, we believe that a homelab is a homelab! As such, we are keen for people across the IT community to contribute with their knowledge and tips across operating systems, hypervisors, tools and applications.

Technology agnosticism FTW!
