Docker & Kubernetes HomeLab Mastery: Build Your Private Cloud with Plex, Pi-hole, Nextcloud, and Self-Hosted Apps with Practical Projects
Docker & Kubernetes Homelab Mastery
Build Your Private Cloud, Reclaim Your Data, and Run Pro-Grade Services at Home
Take complete control of your digital world. Docker & Kubernetes Homelab Mastery is your step-by-step guide to building a fully automated, self-hosted home cloud using Docker, Docker Compose, and lightweight Kubernetes (K3s / MicroK8s). Whether you’re a curious tinkerer, an IT enthusiast, or a DevOps learner building real-world skills, this book shows you exactly how to deploy, manage, and scale your own Homelab infrastructure — from scratch.
Discover how to host your own media servers, cloud storage, ad-blocking, automation tools, and more — all running securely and efficiently on hardware you control.
What You’ll Learn Inside
1. Real-World Homelab Projects
Build practical setups like Plex, Pi-hole, Nextcloud, and full hybrid cloud stacks. Every project is explained step-by-step with configuration tips and ready-to-run templates.
2. Home-Ready Production Techniques
Learn professional-grade networking, VLAN segmentation, reverse proxying (Traefik / Nginx Proxy Manager), SSL automation, and VPN tunneling — all tailored for home environments.
3. Orchestration & Automation Made Simple
Move seamlessly from Docker Compose to Kubernetes. Use Helm, Watchtower, and CI/CD patterns to automate updates, maintenance, and scaling with minimal manual effort.
4. Monitoring, Backup & Recovery
Implement complete observability with Prometheus and Grafana, automate backups, use snapshots for disaster recovery, and ensure your home cloud never goes down.
5. Ready-to-Use Templates & Blueprints
Get Docker Compose files, Kubernetes manifests, Helm notes, and troubleshooting checklists — built for rapid deployment and long-term stability.
