Rebooting a single server is easy. Rebooting three servers that are collectively running 32 containers, 5 virtual machines, a media stack, two reverse proxies, and a monitoring system -- without anyone noticing -- is a different kind of problem.

This is where I document my homelab adventures - from Proxmox clusters and LXC containers to reverse proxies and automation pipelines. If it runs on a server rack at home, it probably belongs here. What to expect Posts here will cover the real stuff - the configs that worked, the
