About CarrotLab
CarrotLab is a community driven gaming server focused on fun and community. We host a variety of games and are always looking to try new ones!
We got our start on February 22nd, 2024 and we started with small beginings hosting the first Minecraft server on my laptop in my college dorm living room. The name CarrotLab wouldn't come around until later that year on July 24th, 2024. At the time I was interning for a contracting company, and learned a lot about networking and servers, which ultimately caused me to make CarrotLab into what it is today.
All servers on CarrotLab are running on a Pterodactyl docker instance, and are hosted on my personal LAN. Thats right! Everything is self-hosted locally, to ensure full flexibility of the project, and ensure compatibility. I'm always looking to improve my homelab, as it's one of my favorite hobbies, it is however an expensive hobby, but I believe that in the end the laughs and memories are 100% worth it. If you'd like to help support the server it is not necessary to play on them, but it goes a long way in helping me keep my hobby going :)
