Every time this comes out, it’s like I was a kid waiting for my Pop Sci & Mech mags to arrive in the mail, and later on Byte magazine. The downside is, after you get your server setup and functioning, there’s not much to add to it.

Honestly it feels that way for a while then something new comes along. I just started mine around this time last year, added a NAS and a VPS, and then aside from small tweaks and daily updates there hasn’t been much to do.

But now I’m thinking I want to shrink my single monolithic proxmox VM to separate out some services to their own VMs (one for pihole/unbound, one for very personal services like paperless and actualbudget, one for any exposed services, etc). On top of that, I’m thinking of setting up an additional server or VPS for social media instances and such.

Kinda feels like it comes in waves. Set up a ton of stuff, let it sit for a few months, do it all again

I run quite a few containers, and I just can’t find anything I’d like to add that would be functional. I’m always tinkering tho, and learning. The learning part is my favorite.
