About the Book
Your Proxmox Home Server is a complete, step-by-step guide to building a private home lab on a single mini PC using Proxmox VE 9. You'll set up virtual machines and LXC containers, run a Docker host, and deploy fifteen practical services, including Pi-hole for network-wide ad blocking, Nginx Proxy Manager for clean access to your services, Jellyfin for your own media library, Vaultwarden for password management, Home Assistant for smart home control, and Tailscale for secure remote access from anywhere. Every command and configuration in this book has been tested end-to-end on real N100-class mini PC hardware. Whether you're new to virtualization or looking to consolidate your homelab onto one efficient machine, this book takes you from a blank Proxmox install to a fully running personal cloud, with no vendor lock-in, no subscriptions, and full control over your data.
