Welcome to HomeLab. A YSWS where you ship projects related to having a self hosted server at home, and we ship things to help you create your own setup (or update a setup you already have!)
HomeLab is a Hack Club YSWS program where you ship projects related to having a self hosted server at home, and we ship things to help you create your own setup (or update a setup you already have!)
We are fairly open to this, however creating a random project that is "hosted on a home server" doesn't count. This means you can't build an unrelated website and just claim you can host it on a home server. Instead, ideas include a website that lets you automate tasks and processes on your network, a file explorer based on storage on a NAS, etc. You could also do a hardware project such as a 3d printed server rack.
You can make as many project as you would like, as well as contribute them all to your hour total to spend on rewards. Rewards pretty much work like a shop balance where your hours are you balance, and you can buy any amount of things.
You must be YSWS eligible (18 years or under) and a participant of Hack Club.
Yes! HomeLab is a Hack Club program and completely free to participate. Find out more at hackclub.com.
