Atlas · seriesSelf-hosted services and homelab infrastructure — NAS, Docker, monitoring, PR previews and media archiving.
TubeArchivist vs PinchFlat is the real decision — all six tools wrap yt-dlp, so the differentiators are UI depth, filter richness, and willingness to run Elasticsearch.
ntfy + Apprise is the composable self-hosted base; iOS forces a cloud relay unless you accept ntfy's APNs hop; Pushover is the pragmatic hybrid pick; WhatsApp and web push remain cloud-dependent in 2026.
Only Coolify and Dokploy deploy PR previews natively; both bundle Traefik and demand dedicated VM isolation from your existing proxy — the full decision framework across six options on ten criteria.
Critical auth requirements (PO tokens, Firefox-only cookies) and Jellyfin TV-show naming contracts researched; the tool comparison matrix and deploy config were not completed and require a follow-up run.
Gatus is the only candidate where the full monitor set lives in a committed YAML file — no GUI clicks, no SQLite state escaping git, 40 MB RAM. Migration from Kuma is manual but tractable; the main traps are Kuma v2's removed JSON export and Traefik's CVE-2026-44774.
Homepage wins all decisive criteria for a Proxmox/Docker gitops homelab — 6/6 target integrations, pure-YAML config-as-code, 80 MB lean footprint — with Glance as the only credible challenger to watch.
End-to-end framework to leave a Synology NAS in 2026: a hardware shortlist by profile, OS/storage picks scored on lock-in, a DSM migration playbook, and a default remote-access stack — converging on one concrete recommended build.
