I started with a home lab a few months back. Its basically an old miniPC running Proxmox virtualization and LCX containers. Mostly it helps me learn various technology I have not much experience with in my work. I run about 20+ services on the home lab. Some of them include:

Open WebUI which can connect to the OpenAI api or a local Ollama LLM. You can also connect various tools to the LLM like a calculator or web search to augment them. The AI has helped me learn how to configure and debug stuff. Like I got step-ca to setup a local certificate authority and give certificates to my various internal services. I played around with configuring Caddy and Nginx along with ACME to the the step-ca. The LLM was even helping be debug my config files.

I'm also using Hoarder for bookmarking and it can use AI to automatically tag your bookmarks. It can even backup the webpages.

I've been using Mealie to clip and save online recipes.

I'm running Uptime Kuma to check if my computers and services are up and if they are down, I'll get a notification.
