Homelab operating guide
The current topology, safe operations, and cleanup plan for the YVMX homelab.
This is the working source of truth for the host observed on 2026-08-21.
Scope
- SSD-backed host paths and Docker state are in scope.
/mnt/BackupDriveis the HDD and is protected: no files were moved, deleted, or rewritten there.- Cleanup candidates are documented, not executed, until their owner and retention policy are confirmed.
Operating rule
Prefer one Compose project per service, explicit resource limits, loopback binding for internal ports, and on-demand profiles for services that are not always needed.
