Homelab Proof’s measured self-hosting guides

Editorial interest 85/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A collection of self-hosting guides that reports tested configurations, resource use, and restore results.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-04 issue.

For: Homelab operators comparing self-hosted services
Worth noticing: Tests start from a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 virtual machine; the site says raw output is kept beside the script that produced it.

Field notes

The site describes a repeatable baseline: each stack gets a fresh virtual machine based on Ubuntu 24.04, and the machine is destroyed after testing. The log includes operational details beyond resource totals, such as a Proxmox install that left apt failing on an enterprise repository and a Pi-hole configuration that crashed. Its comparison pages also preserve constraints, including that the Home Assistant Container result had no apps.
