Rebuilding My Homelab with Compose, Ruby, IPv6, and No Kubernetes

After my unreliable Lenovo server and complex Kubernetes cluster failed, I rebuilt my homelab using Docker Compose, Ruby, and deterministic IPv6. I replaced the fragile setup with a simpler architecture where each service stack runs in isolation, managed by custom scripts for security and backups. This approach prioritizes stability and ease of maintenance over enterprise-grade complexity, proving that less is often more for personal infrastructure.
