What is HomeLabHD?

HomeLabHD (HomeLab Helpdesk) is a child organization of PrPlanIT — a collection of container images, guides, GitLab CI components, and other materials useful in homelab and production environments.

Our reasons for maintaining these projects vary: sometimes we can't find an image from a maintainer we trust, sometimes we need additional features or tooling baked in, and sometimes it's pure preference. Not everything here is a container image — you'll also find disaster recovery guides, CI components, and other resources we've found worth sharing.

Everything is freely available. We consume these internally and make a best effort to keep things current. Some projects may go stale between releases — we're actively building tooling (StageFreight) to automate dependency freshness, security scanning, and release workflows across the catalog. If you find something out of date, open an issue.

All container images are built with StageFreight on GitLab CI with automated vulnerability scanning (Trivy + Grype), SBOM generation, and release notes. Source is mirrored to GitHub, images published to Docker Hub.
