Discover, share, and connect around homelab setups in Paris on October 30th

If you’ve ever been curious about what a homelab is or have a Raspberry Pi gathering dust on your desk, there’s a fun event coming up that you’ll want to hear about. The first Paris Homelab Night is happening on October 30th at 6 pm, and it’s designed for everyone interested in home server setups, regardless of how big or small your tech collection is.

What is Paris Homelab Night?

Paris Homelab Night is a casual meetup for folks who run their own home labs, whether it’s a full rack of servers or a simple Raspberry Pi project. The idea is to create a friendly space where people can share their setups, exchange tips, and learn from each other. Whether your homelab is a tiny quirky project or a massive, impressive array, it deserves to be showcased.

Why Attend the Paris Homelab Night?

If you’re like me and find the idea of tinkering with servers, networking gear, and smart home tech fascinating, this event is perfect. You’ll get to:
– Hear short, 20-minute presentations from homelab enthusiasts sharing their experiences and lessons learned.
– Connect with others who share your interest in DIY tech.
– Ask questions and geek out over hardware and software setups.
– Enjoy free food and drinks while meeting new friends.

How Can You Participate?

The organizers are inviting anyone interested to attend, whether you want to just listen or showcase your own homelab setup. Don’t worry if you think your setup isn’t “big” or “impressive” enough. Small projects count just as much!

If you want to give a talk, you can fill out a talk candidate form, and share what you’ve learned. It’s a great opportunity to practice public speaking and contribute to the community.

When and Where?

  • Date & Time: October 30th, 6 pm
  • Location: Paris 17ème, near métro Rome
  • Language: French
  • Entry: Free (registration required, seats limited)

Why a Homelab?

If you’re new to the concept, a homelab generally means a personal set of computer hardware and software projects at home used for learning, testing, or running personal apps. People use homelabs to improve their tech skills or to manage their home network and media servers. It’s a fantastic way to get hands-on experience beyond just following tutorials.

Useful Links and Resources

Attending Paris Homelab Night could be your next step toward diving deep into the world of home server setups, making new friends who share your passion, and seeing how others their small or large projects come to life. If you’ll be in Paris around October 30th, it’s worth considering a visit. I hope to see some curious DIYers and tech enthusiasts there, ready to share stories and ideas over some good food and drinks.
