Comment on How are you keeping on top of fleet updates?

I consolidated everything on to one a bit beefier VPS so that if I update that one VPS 90% of stuf updates itself. The rest are 3 RPis which run Home Assistant in different places, those I go throuch manually and update when I see that there is a new update.

Wow. No concerns an update will bork that 90% of your fleet that sits on the VPS? That’s one reason I’m loving LXCs - anything that screws with one specific service doesn’t pose a risk to any other service.

It hasn’t in the last 10 or so years, but if it does it’s not a problem I have backups which I can get up and running within half an hour.
I’m not running anything mission critical, just single user instances of Mastodon, Lemmy, Nextcloud, PeerTube, my website, Firefox Sync, some old static websites of mine and my sister which are basically archived. So even if it’s down for a week, nobody but me cares.

Yep, understood. My setup is a little more “mission” critical, if you consider availability of my Plex, *arrs, Home Assistant and Pi-holes being the mission, and the critical bit being that I have impatient teenagers in the house.

That’s actually insanely cool! I‘m on a similar path rn. 10+ containers running services, thinking of adding peertube, lemmy and co as well as my webpages. But its still a honeserver so I‘d need to go vps at some point.
Did you start at home or directly go to vps? How was your journey?
In any case, thanks for sharing and have a good one. :)

Actually my goal is to move everything to a home lab server, but my last one broke a year ago and I didn’t want to spent all the money at once to buy a new one so i just moved everything to the VPS where I already had my website.
