I recognize this will vary depending on how much you self-host, so I'm curious about the range of experiences from the few self-hosted things to the many self-hosted things.

Also how might you compare it to other maintenance of your other online systems (e.g. personal computer/phone/etc.)?

i've got a RPI and other SBC, once month, make a copy of the MicroSD card, as the data is in the HD

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.

Almost none now that i automated updates and a few other things with kestra and ansible. I need to figure out alerting in wazuh and then it will probably drop to none.

@ALostInquirer@lemm.ee Not much tbh, I host email, a git server, activitypub, change detector, healthchecks, libreddit and another dozen of services in 3 different servers.

Every now and then I check manually the backups, because it is the sane thing to do. Also I try some new services on docker, but that is less and less common tbh.

Very little. Thanks to Docker + Watchtower I don't even have to check for updates to software. Everything is automatic.

That must be why it stopped working ;-)

Does 48 hours not getting a reverse proxy working count?

It’s FreeNAS and I don’t really hoast anything but the plex server… so 48 hours.

If deleting files counts 10 days a year, if not 1 day a year.

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.
