New: the free Homelab the Right Way weekly email

This blog now publishes a new article almost every day, the YouTube channel posts a video a day, and the podcast just launched. That is a lot to keep up with, so there is now one place that collects it: a free weekly email, every Sunday at 9 AM Eastern.

Sign up on the newsletter page, or use the form at the top or bottom of any post.

What is in each issue

• The week's new articles. Proxmox, OPNsense, Home Assistant, backups, ZFS and self-hosting, each with a one-line summary so you can skip what you don't need.
• The new videos. The week's YouTube videos and Shorts, once they are public.
• The new podcast episode. The Homelab the Right Way Podcast publishes on Sundays; the issue links the episode and its show notes.
• One tip from the books. A single check you can do in a few minutes, with the chapter it comes from.

Here is the kind of tip an issue carries, from Homelab the Right Way, chapter 1: set one Proxmox backup job to "All guests" with excludes instead of a hand-picked list. A VM added last week is then already covered, while a list you have to remember to edit is how new guests silently go unbacked.

Your welcome gift

After you confirm your email, the welcome page has two things waiting:

• The one-page Homelab checklist: twelve checks taken from the chapter checklists in the books, covering backups, the cluster, the network and storage. Print it and tick it off.
• A free sample chapter of every ebook.

How it works

1. Enter your email on the newsletter page or in any post.
2. Tap the link in the confirmation email. Nothing is sent until you confirm.
3. The next issue arrives Sunday morning. Every issue has a one-click unsubscribe link.

The newsletter is free and written with AI help, based on the Homelab the Right Way books, the same as this blog.
