<p>There is a large number of services you can self-host, including your own applications that you might be developing. <a href=https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted>awesome-self-hosted</a> provides a curated list of services that might be of interest to you.</p>
<h2 id=vpn>VPN</h2>
<p>You could certainly setup and manage your own VPN by using something like <a href=https://openvpn.net/community-downloads/>OpenVPN</a>, but there is also something else you can try: <a href=https://tailscale.com/>tailscale</a>. It is a very quick way to create fully-encrypted connections between clients. And by using its <a href=https://tailscale.com/kb/1081/magicdns/>MagicDNS</a>, it is a truly magical solution. If one of your nodes has a hostname of <code>plex</code>, you can simply access it by referring to its hostname (i.e <code>ssh plex@plex</code>). This way you can create a secure tunnel to your homelab from anywhere.</p>

<p>Monitoring can become an important aspect of your homelab after it starts to become something that is relied upon. One of the simplest ways to setup some monitoring is using <a href=https://www.netdata.cloud/>netdata</a>. It can be installed on individual containers, VMs, and also a hypervisor (such as Proxmox). All of the monitoring works out of the box by detecting disks, memory, network interfaces, etc.</p>
