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.?
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

That's why I am doing a DIY NAS now. I don't think I'll ever buy another QNAP ever again after this experience. Is your DIY a mini-ITX by the way? I've been having a hell of a time figuring out whether I can get PCI-E bifurcation for my nvme SSDs while using a 5600G CPU.
What are you thoughts about Unraid btw? I've been looking into TrueNAS Scale.
Not OP but Unraid is fantastic. I know ZFS expansion is coming at some point but being able to slap in another drive and add it to the pool and have parity “just work” is worth the money. Plus it makes Docker containers much easier to manage (Not like Portainer is that hard, but it’s nice to have configs already set to go).
The ZFS update is live now
Nice, I'll definitely take a look at it. Both my Jellyfin and Nextcloud are setup using docker-compose so having easier Docker management is definitely a plus for me.
