Hardware is scarce and expensive due to the AI gold rush, but software has never been better. From unleashing Claude on your UDM Pro to building custom Proxmox CLIs, they explores how AI is transforming what's possible in the homelab. Tim declares 2026 the "Year of Self-Hosted Software" while Adam reveals his homelab's secret weapons: DNSHole (a Pi-hole replacement written in Rust) and PXM (a Proxmox automation CLI). :link: https://changelog.am/125

Patrick Arminio (Jan 25 2026 at 19:32):what was the link that Adam mentioned at the end? I wasn't able to get it :sweat_smile:
Adam Stacoviak (Jan 26 2026 at 01:23):Got a timestamp @Patrick Arminio ?
Patrick Arminio (Jan 26 2026 at 11:29):@Adam Stacoviak 2:01:26 something .club :D
Adam Stacoviak (Jan 26 2026 at 12:28): Tim Uckun (Jan 27 2026 at 08:04):Great listen. I am not a homelabber or anything but recently I ran into an issue which is making me consider being one. I bought a new iphone and restored it from a backup of my old phone (which I still have) just to find out none of my music came in. Now I have to figure out how to get my music into my new phone. All of this music was ripped from my CDs which means I do have copies of them in storage (i have long replaced the macbook air they were originally in). Now I am considering hosting my own music service or something like that. I need to look into the options but it looks like I need to create a music server and use tailscale or forward a port or something. Maybe there is some client that can download all the files when I am on wifi so I can listen to them when I am not at home without exposing my home PC.
Another option might be some sort of a multi master replicated file storage and some app that can act as a music player. Maybe syncthing + something else. I already use MEGA to sync files so maybe that's an option too but that defeats the purpose of homelabbing.
Jarvis (Jan 27 2026 at 14:02):@Adam Stacoviak you forgot to link the 
Proxmox VE Helper-Scripts :wink:
Th PVE Post Install script, I use after adding every new node! The tailscale one is legit, too!
Andrew O'Brien (Feb 02 2026 at 00:15):My understanding of why Proxmox doesn’t support OCI out of the box is that running LXCs is a lot closer to VMs than Docker/Podman. And since there are already tools for managing containers through a web UI, they figure it’s better to focus on being a good hypervisor/cluster/networking thing and let people bring their own way of doing application containers.
