Backups are the most overlooked part of getting into self hosting. You’re basically a sysadmin now, you have to act like one. Get remote storage (cloud, friend / family house, hdd in a safety deposit box, etc…) and get your 3-2-1 on
Easy, reliable backups are key. I’ve used komodo with automatic updates for over a year and watchtower before that for a couple more. I’ve only had one issue when Nginx Proxy Manager had a release that deleted all of its own data. Didn’t take long to realize that the services were still up and what the problem was. Restored the missing data from Proxmox backups, pinned the Nginx version for a while, then turned auto update on again. I’ll stick to this until checking updates is less work than fixing the occasional problem

7 monthsMy entire setup uses less than 100W at idle. That includes:
- Pi 4b (1 USB HDD)
- HP ProDesk 600 G5 Mini
- Custom ITX N150 NAS (4 HDD)
- Wireless router
- Switch
- Modem
Seems to be working fine for me but i don’t do anything complex, just folders by year and month
