Linux Tip #1 – neofetch / fastfetch

If you want to have all details of your server/pc, you can use fastfetch. Neofetch is no longer actively maintained and therefore removed from debian 12 and more recent versions.

sudo apt update && 
sudo apt upgrade -y && 
sudo apt install fastfetch -y && 
fastfetch

๐Ÿก Homelab setup for 2026


So I ditched UmbrelOS because it is not for me and it is not really FOSS.

I bought a new Geekom A8 Mini PC with 32GB/2TB and an external 5TB HDD. I like it a lot. It is really small and also very quiet. So perfect to put it somewhere in your home.

I installed Debian 13 without any problems.

Currently running the following setup:

Docker + Arcane โœ… (https://github.com/getarcaneapp/arcane)

I installed Pocket-Id โœ… and Zoraxy โœ… (reverse proxy) via Arcane, so I now can connect to my local apps via Passkey (Bitwarden) and have HTTPS/SSL also working.


I installed a Bitcoin Node โœ… and Electrum Server (Electrs โœ…) via CLI.

Then I installed mempool via Arcane, and now I have my own Blockchain Explorer locally.


Next will be to install BtcPayServer.


Other Self-Hosted Apps which I’m currently using:

Linkace โœ…

Nextcloud โœ…

  • file sync / photos, documents, backups etc.
  • mail
  • tasks webapp
  • notes webapp
  • calendar
  • contacts

CardDav/CalDav

DAVx5 โœ… – Sync between Android Client and Nextcloud Server

  • Nextcloud Notes Android App
  • Fossify Calendar Android App
  • Tasks Android App


Merry Christmas and a happy new Year 2026 ๐Ÿก๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽ
