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.?

Had my entire home setup (all my arr services, nextcloud, home assistant, monitoring, etc) all running in my k3s setup on like 5 vms at home. Had velero backups of it etc.

Fast forward to i have no idea what happened and my masters just died. Nothing should sync anymore etc. Nobody in k3s community had an idea either. So lost my entire cluster and the backups weren’t too useful since the cluster itself was dead.

Rebuilt with Talos. But man that sucked.
