🐳 Ultimate Docker-Traefik Repo by Anand

Real-world Docker configurations from Anand at SimpleHomelab.com (formerly SmartHomeBeginner.com)

---

🎯 What This Repository Offers

This repository contains my actual production Docker setups that power my homelab infrastructure. Unlike theoretical guides, these are real-world configurations that I use daily.

My setup is based on Deployrr and Ultimate Docker Media Server series.

🎯 Repository Purpose

1. Share actual setups - Real configurations I use in production
2. Extend Deployrr capabilities - Examples beyond standard Deployrr templates

🖥️ Infrastructure Overview

I believe in simple, energy-efficient homelab design that maximizes performance while minimizing complexity.

🏠 Networking Architecture

• OPNsense home firewall running on Proxmox VM (DMZed on ISP router)
• Tailscale mesh networking connecting all hosts

📊 Hardware Specifications

Component	Specifications	Purpose
TopTon V700 Mini PC	Intel i7-13800H, 64GB RAM, 2×2TB NVMe ZFS RAID1, 4TB SATA SSD	Proxmox host that runs my Home Server, Media/Database Server, Home Assistant, Proxmox Backup Server, etc.
Synology DS918+	DX517 Expansion Unit, 8GB RAM, 4×18TB SHR2 (×2 volumes)	Primary use is storage. But I tinker with Docker on it.
Oracle Ampere A1	4 vCPU ARM64, 24GB RAM, 200GB storage	Web server and automations

🐳 Docker Hosts

All Docker configurations are organized by host with clear naming conventions. I pool them together and push them to this repository.

🏠 Home Server (prefix/suffix: hs)

Platform: Ubuntu 24.04 LXC on Proxmox
Resources: 8 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 4GB Swap
Storage: 64GB OS + 32GB Docker data
Purpose: Core homelab services and support my tinkering habits

🎬 Media Database Server (prefix/suffix: mds)

Platform: Ubuntu 24.04 LXC on Proxmox  
Resources: 12 vCPU, 12GB RAM, 4GB Swap
Storage: 64GB OS + 72GB Docker data
Purpose: Media servers and databases - Separate so they are not affected by my tinkering

🌐 Web Server (prefix/suffix: ws-arm)

Platform: Ubuntu 24.04 ARM64 on Oracle Cloud
Resources: 4 vCPU, 24GB RAM
Storage: 100GB OS + 100GB data
Purpose: Web Server (Nginx, PHP-FPM 8, WordPress, etc.), n8n, Flowise, and more

💾 Synology NAS (prefix/suffix: ds918)

Platform: DSM 7.X
Resources: 8GB RAM, DX517 Expansion Unit, Volume1 - 4x18TB SHR2, Volume 2 - 4x18TB SHR2
Purpose: I use this only for tinkering with Docker
