Podman-powered Homelab
Sep 27, 2024
This self-hosted homelab runs on a Red Hat Linux server and provides a containerized infrastructure for personal services and automation workflows.
It’s built entirely with Podman, using rootless containers and native systemd unit files for automatic startup and reliable operation.
Each container is deployed in an isolated Podman network and configured with persistent volumes. Traefik is used as a reverse proxy with automatic HTTPS. Authentik handles identity and access management across all services.
For intrusion prevention and log-based threat detection, CrowdSec is integrated into the system. Everything is version-controlled and reproducible via Git, with a focus on simplicity, security, and long-term maintainability.
