博客來Transform Zorin OS 17 into a complete smart-home hub and self-hosted homelab. This practical, hands-on guide shows you exactly how to deploy modern automation, private cloud services, secure networking, AI-powered workflows, and full observability-all on one Zorin OS machine.
You will learn how to install and optimize Zorin OS 17, secure it with Zero-Trust access, run Docker and Podman containers, deploy Home Assistant, integrate MQTT and Zigbee2MQTT, build Node-RED automations, set up private cloud storage with Nextcloud, stream media with Jellyfin, and monitor everything with Prometheus and Grafana. Every chapter includes step-by-step labs, and a complete end-to-end project brings all components together into a fully functioning smart-home and homelab cloud.
Build Home Assistant, Node-RED, MQTT, DNS filtering, reverse proxies, media servers, cloud storage, automation pipelines, and local AI (using LM Studio or Ollama) to enhance insights and recommendations. Secure your environment with firewalls, SSH hardening, Tailscale/WireGuard, container isolation, and automated encrypted backups using Borg and Rclone.
Whether you are a beginner or an experienced homelab builder, this guide gives you a modern 2025-ready blueprint to create a private, secure, self-hosted smart-home ecosystem-free from vendor lock-in and fully under your control.
If you are ready to build your own smart-home + homelab cloud with Zorin OS 17, this is the book you’ve been waiting for.
