HomeOps
The Art of Doing It Yourself
This event will be held on December 17, 2025 from to at The Ion as part of our Third Wednesday meeting series.
Event
HomeOps: The Art of Doing It Yourself will be both our first meeting at The Ion, and our first event in a series of events we intend to do that focuses on Home Labs, and self-hosting.
- Want to provide a service to your family or business without paying $20/user/month?
- Want to own your data?
- Want to avoid vendor lock-in?
In HomeOps: The Art of Doing It Yourself we will focus on what you can do for business, family, and community when you own your own hardware and run your own services.
What to Expect
HomeOps events typically feature:
- Technical talks and presentations on Kubernetes
- Helm installed software
- Home automation
- Media hosting (movies, mp3s, audiobooks, books)
- Hardware demonstrations and assessments
Like all Houston Open Source Society (HOSS) events, it's totally 100% free.
Sponsor

Special thanks goes out to Impact Hub Houston for helping secure the space at The Ion. They're a key part of making this meetup happen. The Houston Open Source Society is a group that refuses money and exists with no legal structure. That makes it a challenge to procure quality space for our meetings. Impact Hub played a pivotal role in helping us overcome this challenge.
