StackKits are pre-built infrastructure blueprints that define what services to run, how to configure them, and how they work together.

Modern Homelab Kit

Best for hybrid setupsCloud and local combined — both mandatory. Multi-node on both ends possible.

High Availability Kit

Add-ons

Every StackKit can be extended with add-ons — composable modules you mix and match. A few common ones:
  • Media (media) — Jellyfin + *arr stack
  • Photos (photos) — Immich
  • Observability (monitoring) — VictoriaMetrics + Grafana + Loki + Alloy
  • Backup (backup) — Kopia encrypted backups, 3-2-1 targets
  • AI / LLM (ai-workloads) — Ollama + Open WebUI
  • Dev platform (dev-platform) — Gitea + Woodpecker CI
  • Advanced auth (authelia) — replaces TinyAuth
Start with a base kit and add what you need — you can add add-ons later without rebuilding your stack. See the full catalog and per-capability alternatives in tool alternatives.
