Start with a working example
Version, requirements, Compose, and instructions are kept together. The status shows exactly what has been tested.
Personal selection
Find apps your server can run
Enter its architecture, RAM, disk, network, and available clients. The catalog will explain what fits and what does not.

Guides
Every guide is a set of recipes picked for one situation, with the reason each one is there and the filters that produced it. Below them, the whole catalog by category and by the service you would be replacing.
10 applications
A home server that earns its keep
A modular home-server starter set: passwords, DNS, sync, monitoring, notifications, media and household recipes. Choose the services you need and add them gradually.
13 applications
Applications with a minimum of 1 GB RAM or less
Small declared resource requirements for a VPS or thin client, with new metrics, notifications, notes and utility recipes. The limit applies to each application separately.
9 applications
What a Raspberry Pi can actually run
A shortlist for 32-bit ARM systems, plus the newer options a 64-bit Pi can consider. Check the actual architecture test result before choosing a recipe.
10 applications
Services that never need a public address
Keep household services behind loopback, a private network or a VPN. Private access still needs application authentication, safe initialization and backups.
