This is how my #HomeLab is powered. #EcoFlow River 3 for long power outages and #Eaton UPS between it and servers because EcoFlow's UPS capabilities are shitty. Eaton UPS also gives me the ability to change the HomeLab power source without interruptions.

I just tested graceful shutdown on my #HomeLab through #HomeAssistant and #Proxmox API. Worked very well, but I have an unresolved corner case.

When power is restored while servers are down, but the UPS is still discharging its last cells. Home Assistant will still be working by then, but I can't use #WOL to turn the servers back on because they are on different subnets.

And while writing this, I realised that one of the servers has two network interfaces and can be presented in both subnets for WOL purposes. Sounds like a plan.
