I figured most of you could relate to this.

I was updating my Proxmox servers from 7.4 to 8. First one went without problems. That second one though… Yea, not so much… I THINK it’s GRUB but not sure yet.

Now my Nextcloud, NAS, main reverse proxy and half my DNS went down. And no time to fix it before work. Lovely 🤕 Well I now know what I’ll be doing when I get home.

Out of morbid curiosity, What are some of ya’lls self hosting horror stories.?

    I have a beefy Unraid server for Dockers and VMs. The idea was to have it replace all my computers. At home the VMs output the image to a monitor so that’s my desktop. And remotely I connect my phone to my home VPN and connect my phone to a lapdock and use it as a thin client to connect to my VMs. Nomachine for Linux/work, Moonlight for Windows/gaming.

    Well, it’s been over a year of not being able to have my server reach an uptime higher that 15 days and I have no fucking idea why. There are no traces of any error anywhere.

      That’s too bad. I am at the beginning of exactly that path. I have my Unraid running my containers and just started building VMs for myself, but I’ve had much better success in uptime.
