  at least weekly mysqlcheck + mysqlddump and some form of periodic off-machine storing of that is something I'll surely take to heart after this lil' fiasco ;-) sound advice, thank you!

  Hear hear! You don't own a backup if you've never restored it before. Words to live by both in corporate and self-hosting environments.

  Ironically, if I would have had more services running in docker I might not have experienced such a fundamental outage. Since docker services usually tend to spin up their exclusive database engine you kind of "roll the dice" as far as data corruption goes with each docker service individually. Thing is, I don't really believe in bleeding CPU computation cycles by running redundant database services. And since many of my services are already very long-serving they've been set up from source and all funneled towards a single, central and busy database server - thus, if that one experiences sudden outage (for instance power failure) all kinds of corruption and despair can arise. ;-)

  Guess I should really look into a small UPS and automated shutdown. On top of better backup management of course! Always the backups.

  Excellent choice. I'm running a physical Routerboard and a virtual RouterOS inside my hypervisor for redundancy.
  The license for virtual RouterOS is dirt cheap and has more features than you could ever dream of with any of the the big network device manufacturers.
  The physical devices are very well designed for their relatively modest price and likewise fully featured. Perfect for any home lab or to play around with IEEE conform protocols.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NFS mount over DDNS, NFS Caching?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
  You're quite bold - I like it ;-) in all honesty, is your requirement mounting an NFS share? As indicated by @chris it really is designed for the local network.
  How about using something more suited like a WebDAV share/mount?
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨App or service to self host ebooks?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
  Take a look at Calibre-Web (github.com/janeczku/calibre-we…) which I've been using for what you ask for quite a while now. As the name suggests it can also take advantage of a pre-existing Calibre eBook Database.

  500 fibre connection means it is a 500mbit internet uplink?
  Have you checked whether the ethernet cable you're connecing the DS216j to your router is a "Cat5e" cable. If it is a "Cat5" you would be limiting and thus bottlenecking your bandwidth to 100mbit max.
