So one of our #servers decided to loose the home dir all the configs, volumes and docker-compose.yaml was living.

The running containers still hat the data... but it wasn't possible to #dockers cp em out... we could move some within the container and then docker cp them...

We still have no idea how this could happen... nobody was on the server and rm'ed it.

Took us a few hours now to restore everything.

Any of the #serveradmin around have a idea how this could happen?

We eventually released the IP Transit Services separately.
VPS House's IP transit services is a reliable, powerful and customizable solution designed to deliver incredible performance at the most cost-effective price in the world.

We'll also launch another mysterious service early next month.

When you think #diy #servers for the #homelab are dead and you see this thing on ebay:

Guess one just needs to get a bit more creative these days after all.

Usually I rant about bad #hardware. Given my personal "closeness" to physical #servers, such failed hardware parts are mostly hard drives but sometimes also broken solid state drives.

But in fairness, there are also some very good products out there. This post is about such a surprisingly well behaving #SSD from #Sandisk.

This article on production tests to help ensure your servers are all up and running is very excellent.
