@Ken Pryor I would recommend a fresh install to avoid any legacy leftover. I did an upgrade from the alpha and ran into some file issues. Did a fresh install and now running smooth so far.

It Finally Happened..............
Well after two years of luck, it finally ran out. I had an automated message about 5pm UK Time to say that one of my web urls wasnt responding. On checking the VM it indeed wasnt responding..... then the fun began......... Not only was the url down but hidden in an avalanche of alerts in Jira was that the entire hypervisor containing approx 25 VM's and 32tb of active data had fallen over, along with my Zabbix and SIEM instances. Luckily I have an "every 24 hour" backup strategy, and, as of 5am this morning all the VMs on that Hypervisor had backed up. So for the moment I am restoring critical VM's to one of my other two servers, then on the weekend I will begin the painful task of a full rebuild of an 80tb Hypervisor Server. So everyone, ensure you backup regular, you never know when its your turn.......

Feel the pain. Happen to me on several occasions and regular backups have been a life saver. May the cyber gods smile n you.

Dream setups
If you had an unlimited budget to upgrade just *one* part of your home lab, what would you choose — storage, networking, compute, or something else? 💡💾📶 Let’s hear your dream setups!

@David Vincent agree just spent 500 on new switch so hopefully it will last and be future proof

Docker Containers
Just wondering how many active docker containers you are running in your homelab. I just starting to use Dozzle and realized I have a lot of containers running daily. I currently have 77 running now with more on the way.

Learning how and why vs Docker and automation.
I guess the question is: Is it worth learning the manual how-to setup and config or just learn Docker or and equivalent? Seems to me that everything is going automated. For example: The proxmox scripts that everyone seems to use. Anyone can copy and paste a command but do the know how to do it without a simple cut and paste. I personally have been trying to do most of it w/o scripts or docker. Yes there is a lot of trial and error but when it works i feel good about it. Most will say it's a time thing. I get that. I'm just looking for opinions on weather I should worry about doing things the long way or get with the times and cheat the system.

Long way. Anybody can copy and paste but the real experience is knowing how everything works. Can my case I was a simple DBA but as I got into Homelab I started to learn Linux, Linux commands, YAML, Ansible, Docker. Currently learning Python. The company I worked for started to layoff people to reduce cost and want employees that have board experience and because I have learn so much along with automating that I have so far survive 3 layoffs. Funny part is my director and others in the IT department are aware I have a homelab and always experiencing with new technology. So taking the time to learn the hard way will payoff in the future and will look good on your resume for a good paying job as more company consolidating their IT departments so more experience across the board is always a plus. As a Senior Manager myself when I do interviews that is what I am looking for on a resume.
