Is Self-Hosting Dying in Late 2026? Here’s What I Seeing for Home Labs #SelfHosting #HomeLab #Proxmox #Docker #MiniPC https://www.virtualizationhowto.com/2026/11/is-self-hosting-dying-in-late-2026-heres-what-i-seeing-for-home-labs/

Hello, My home network setup is as follows: My home server is a mini PC that has 2 ethernet ports. One of them is connected directly to the ISP router. The other ethernet port in the server is not connected to anything. The ISP router is also connected to a mesh WIFI for other home devices (PCS, laptops, phones, tablets, TVs, etc.). The server has Proxmox installed with some VMs and containers. They are publicly accessible through Cloudflare tunnels using a domain I purchased, and they are working fine with no issues at all. However, I want to secure the VMs and containers using a virtual firewall. What is the best way to do this? If I install pfSense as a VM in Proxmox, should I connect the physical server to the mesh WIFI? If yes, then what's the point of this? The VMs and the containers are not connected to the mesh network. Or is there other way to secure the VMs and the containers without the need to connect the other ethernet port? If there is a guide or a YouTube video for a similar scenario, I would really appreciate it if someone posts it here.

5 Home Lab Projects to Try This Weekend: November 6, 2026 #homelab #homeserver #homelabprojects https://www.virtualizationhowto.com/2026/11/5-home-lab-projects-to-try-this-weekend-november-6-2026/

just start with the download, not sure if its able to run on the laptop I use now with linux mint and virtual box, running 3 guests running ubuntu server. So this is my next weekend project 😃 === update === The reinstall of Proxmox 9.2.25 running almost a week. What I learned: - making template for server based vm's (ubuntu 26.04 LTS) , save so much time to just roll out a few servers to test some server stuff and fool around (like rsync with multiple servers, maybe clustering someday etc.) So the basic is great. Also I gona make a template for ubuntu 26.10 ones its patched with CVE-2026-98432, in a homelab I don't care about long spawn of security patches because ones the time is almost reach its time for a new template and then I get forced to learn upgrating or migrating to a new server OS version. - proxmox hands on when trying to boot a un-bootable ISO (it seems). - learned pass-true usb stick and mount it on a vm, on this usb stick is ventoy with multiple ISO's so I can manual choose what ISO I wanna install when ever its start. - learning baby steps on git / github to document the next proxmox and other new projects,and try to document older ones I can still remember with all the safe temp *.txt files. - using hands on experience with the topics from the linux course: - vim - tmux - finally fixed my hyprland print-screen automatic, still fixing 2 shortcuts pending for fullscreen and current window.
