About

A weekly newsletter bringing expertly-curated community resources to aspiring and seasoned homelabbers.

Hey there, fellow homelabber!

My name is Sunny, and I am the guy behind Homelab Society. I caught the homelab bug years ago, starting with a single Raspberry Pi to run Home Assistant. That simple project opened the door to self-hosted stuff, and I have been building ever since. My setup grew from one Pi to three, then mini PCs, then a 12U rack, and now a 25U rack.

Homelab Society is my way of sharing the best homelab resources I find each week with a wider community of fellow enthusiasts.

Whether you're wiring your first Ethernet cable or orchestrating containers across a cluster of nodes, this newsletter is for you.
