About Simple Homelab
the ideal blog for smart home and home/media server enthusiasts
Hey Beginners! 👋
Simple Homelab (formerly Smart Home Beginner) is a leading blog for articles and tutorials on smart home, media server, and home server related topics. All made available FREELY to everyone.
SmartHomeBeginner has existed in various forms (blog.avserver.info [2010-2012], linuxplained.com [2012-2014], and htpcbeginner.com [2014-2018]) since 2010.
Our articles are in-depth and written in such a way that even beginners can follow and implement complex projects. Great examples are our Docker and Traefik guides.
and our authors spend several hours answering questions and helping the readers.
However, it costs money to maintain and continue to bring quality content to you. For hosting, server maintenance, and office expenses average around $450 a month.
Any little bit you contribute can ease the burden and help us continue to bring quality content to you. So if you loved our content or if it helped you in any way, please consider buying us a coffee (or two) as a token of appreciation.
Thanks for your support!
