Home Server Setup Check

79.00

A practical written review for existing small home server and self-hosted setups using Docker, Portainer, Pi-hole, AdGuard, Nginx Proxy Manager, Tailscale, Jellyfin, Plex or similar tools.

Best for setups that need a second opinion, clearer priorities or safer next steps — not for emergency repairs, remote access or full installations.
