Скачать или смотреть We Threw Everything at This Server… and It Still Runs Like a Beast!

Think your Homelab server can't handle real workloads? Think again.

In Part 2 of our Portainer series, Zack Perry from 45HomeLab pushes the limits of our Home Client — a compact but beastly Homelab server — by spinning up over 25 containers and stacks using Portainer, all at once! From Draw.io to Jellyfin, Nextcloud, Prometheus, and even a full Immich photo library deployment — we're putting this machine to the test.

Spoiler alert: It barely breaks a sweat.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

How to deploy real-world stacks and apps using Portainer’s WebUI

How to link other Docker servers with Portainer Agent for unified container management

How to monitor resource usage in real time with Glances and htop

What happens when you run 25+ self-hosted services on a single Homelab box

Why containerization is the future of Homelab — and how easy it really is

We explore everything from quick-deploy tools like Draw.io, Ansible Semaphore, Grafana, Glances, and Homepage — to full-featured platforms like Jellyfin, Nextcloud, and even Immich, the ultimate self-hosted Google Photos replacement.
