I have been enjoying my homelab for 2 years. I went from deploying apps manually, to using docker compose for orchestration. I now have a way to deploy my stacks using CI/CD through Gitlab. Everything is backed by the Proxmox hypervisor.

All my docker compose stacks were deployed by hand on one single Debian 12 Virtual Machine. The folder hierarchy was looking like this :

/opt/stacks:
    - nextcloud:
        - docker-compose.yaml
    - paperless:
        - docker-compose.yaml
    - nginx:
        - docker-compose.yaml

And so on…
