Having electric stability issues this week in Bangkok - several 2-3 hour outages, which are too long for a UPS to cover the gap. I have several mid range but older PCs running docker, virtualbox, etc for various things including a postfix server for the family email, immich, QBittorrent, pihole, paperless, huly, postiz, a Minecraft bedrock server, a flightradar24 ads-b collector, and a variety of other homegrown projects.
Thinking about getting some or most of this over to a service like hetzner, perhaps even splurging on a baremetal dedicated system.
Recently I've been reading about/trying to learn qemu and proxmox, but don't understand them yet. Is that where it's at for managing a bunch of your own VMs? Or kubernetes/k8s?
I've been a little out of the loop for a few years and of course coming back up to speed IT wise judge take weeks. Looking for recommendations on offloading my home stuff to a cloud that I control.
K8S is a whole different approach and I find it to be a lot more complex, but you would not need virtual machines. If all your applications are running in containers anyways, you could consider it. Finding a good solution for persistent storage is probably the most important design decision.
