Comment on How much maintenance do you find your self-hosting involves?

Very little. I have enough redundancy through regular snapshots and offsite backups that I’m confident enough to let Watchtower auto-update most of my containers once a week - the exceptions being pihole and Home Assistant. Pihole gets very few updates anyway, and I tend to skip the mid-month Home Assistant updates so that’s just a once a month thing to check for breaking changes before pushing the button.

Meanwhile my servers’ host OSes are stable LTS distros that require very little maintenance in and of themselves.

Ultimately I like to tinker, but once I’m done tinkering I want things to just work with very little input from me.
