This is the only time I hate having decided to self host. - eviltoast

I figured most of you could relate to this.

I was updating my Proxmox servers from 7.4 to 8. First one went without problems. That second one though… Yea, not so much… I THINK it’s GRUB but not sure yet.

Now my Nextcloud, NAS, main reverse proxy and half my DNS went down. And no time to fix it before work. Lovely 🤕 Well I now know what I’ll be doing when I get home.

Out of morbid curiosity, What are some of ya’lls self hosting horror stories.?

    Ugh, this happened to me during a minor release. For whatever reason I had to lug the PC into my office, connect keyboard and mouse, boot it up, and press a key. Then it would boot normally again. I get jealous of those of you with servers that have those remote KVM capabilities.

      My issue wasn’t quite that easy but it wasn’t as headache inducing as I had thought. Turns out, last time I had rejiggered my services I had failed to delete a now unused fstab entry. One pound sign, save file and a reboot later and everything was back up and running correctly. I lucked out! Now tiem to move my Nextcloud backups off that machine!
