Read the maintained guide at homelab.codes/guide, or use this repository as the complete GitHub-native mirror. This is a guide to making decisions, not a catalog of every product you could install. Start with a problem worth solving. Add the smallest system that solves it. Earn every extra layer through a real need: isolation, recovery, scale, learning, or household value. The whole design is drawn as five architect-style plates. Each plate is a working sheet. Read them in order, or jump to the one you are about to build. The five plates Plate 01. The question sheet The lab follows from three answers. If you cannot name a person the service is for, a folder that cannot be recreated, or an hour that must keep working, the architecture is guessing. Start by writing the three answers down. Read plan before you buy next. Plate 02. One useful host One box, one owner, one flagship service. One backup on a different failure domain. One restore that has worked, dated in a ledger you can find. One alert that reaches you when the service or the backup fails. That is a complete first lab.
