hello! I am new here 👋 and a beginner, just getting my feet wet with Linux commands, but I’m ready to start building a real home lab.
I am a content creator and a writer and I was actually trying to understand how can a homelab help me with my content? What’s this actually supposed to _do_, and how can I make it useful for my content work?
A few ideas I’ve been toying with:
- pull my own YouTube/Twitter/X/Newsletter stats into Grafana or a custom dashboard
- host a staging site for scripts, newsletter templates, or interactive content before going live
- self-host a bot that scrapes curated content and drafts newsletter entries automatically
Curious if these actually make sense as homelab projects, or if I’m missing the point entirely.
