What Homelab Launchpad Is All About
Hey there! 👋
If you’ve just landed here—welcome to Homelab Launchpad. You’ve found a space dedicated to helping beginners build their very first self-hosted server, one step at a time.
Right now, the site is live (🎉), but the content is still in the works. I’m currently creating a full series of beginner-friendly videos that will walk you through everything from installing your first operating system to running apps with Docker and Docker Compose—all with a focus on local-first setups, privacy, and clarity.
🎥 What’s Coming Soon
In the coming weeks, you’ll start seeing:
- A full YouTube series that builds your homelab from the ground up
- Written guides and walkthroughs to go along with each episode
- Tips, tools, and resources to help you grow your skills and confidence
- A clean, organized dashboard of everything you’ll need to get started
Whether you’re brand new to self-hosting or just looking for a clearer path forward, Homelab Launchpad is here to help you take control of your digital space without jargon or feeling overwhelmed..
