# tower-of-joy
> Self-hosted home server infrastructure with GPU-accelerated ML model serving, media streaming, and secure remote access
## Overview
**tower-of-joy** is a containerized home server platform running on the "tower-of-joy" system, leveraging Portainer + Docker Compose for service orchestration. The infrastructure supports GPU-accelerated workloads (ML inference via Ollama, media transcoding via Jellyfin) while maintaining a clean separation between performance-critical configs (SSD) and bulk content storage (HDD).
## Quick Start
**Main Dashboard:** https://home.schweitz.net (Organizr - unified interface for all services)
```bash
# Check system status
make status
# Deploy Phase 1 infrastructure (Portainer, NPM, Ollama)
make deploy-phase1
# Run health check
make health
# Access services locally
# Organizr Dashboard: http://localhost:9999 or https://home.schweitz.net
# Portainer: http://localhost:8001
# NPM: http://localhost:81
# Ollama API: http://localhost:11434
```
## System Specifications
- **Host:** tower-of-joy (Zorin OS 16.3 / Ubuntu 20.04)
- **CPU:** Intel i7-6700 (4C/8T @ 3.40GHz)
- **RAM:** 16GB
- **GPU:** NVIDIA RTX 2080 Ti (11GB VRAM)
- **Storage:**
- **SSD (489GB):** Configs, databases, Docker images → `/home/jpmschweitzer/docker-data/`
- **HDD (3.7TB):** Media, user content, backups → `/mnt/media/`

## Documentation
- **[AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md)** - Guidelines for AI coding agents (conventions, testing, commits)
- **[STATUS.md](STATUS.md)** - Current implementation phase and progress
- **[CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md)** - Version history and completed work
- **[SYSTEM.md](SYSTEM.md)** - Detailed hardware and software specs
- **[containers/research.md](containers/research.md)** - Platform research and comparison
- **[containers/implementation-plan.md](containers/implementation-plan.md)** - Detailed deployment guide
## Development Setup
### Python Environment
Some automation scripts require Python dependencies. A virtual environment is provided:
```bash
# Activate virtual environment
source .venv/bin/activate
# Install/update dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
# Run Python scripts (e.g., Uptime Kuma monitor setup)
python3 scripts/setup-kuma-monitors.py
# Deactivate when done
deactivate
```
**Note:** The `.venv/` directory is gitignored and must be created on each system.
## Common Commands
### Infrastructure Management
```bash
make status # Show running containers and system status
make health # Comprehensive health check
make gpu-check # Verify GPU passthrough
make disk # Disk usage report
make backup # Backup Docker configs
make cleanup # Clean unused Docker resources
```
### Stack Management
```bash
make deploy-portainer # Deploy Portainer
make deploy-ollama # Deploy Ollama
make logs-ollama # View Ollama logs
make update-jellyfin # Update Jellyfin to latest
make stop-nextcloud # Stop Nextcloud stack
```
### Phase Deployment
```bash
make deploy-phase1 # Deploy foundation (Portainer, NPM, Ollama)
make deploy-phase2 # Deploy networking (Headscale)
make deploy-phase3 # Deploy monitoring (Uptime Kuma, Netdata, Heimdall)
make deploy-phase4 # Deploy optimization (Watchtower, Maintenance)
make deploy-apps # Deploy applications (Jellyfin, Nextcloud, Samba)
```

## GPU Services
Two services leverage the RTX 2080 Ti for GPU acceleration:
1. **Ollama** (ML inference)
- Supports 3B-13B parameter models
- Recommended: llama3.2:3b, mistral:7b, codellama:7b
2. **Jellyfin** (Media transcoding)
- NVIDIA NVENC hardware encoding
- Can handle multiple 4K transcodes simultaneously
## Storage Strategy
**SSD (Performance-Critical):**
- Docker configs
- Application databases
- Cache directories
- Container images
**HDD (Capacity-Critical):**
- Media files (Jellyfin)
- User data (Nextcloud)
- Game server worlds (AMP)
- Backups
## Current Status
**Phase:** Planning & Documentation Complete ✅
**Next Steps:**
1. Review implementation plan
2. Verify prerequisites (Docker, GPU, disk space)
3. Begin Phase 1: Foundation Setup
See [STATUS.md](STATUS.md) for detailed progress tracking.
