Dedicated wifi for automation allows me to have devices such as Xiaomi Vaccuum, or security camera not phoning home. OpenWRT with good firewall rules completely isolate my “public” containers/VMs from my lan.
Server was built over time, disk by disk. I’m now aiming to buy only 12TB drives, but I got to sacrifice the first two as parity…
I just love the simplicity of snapraid / mergerfs. Even if I were to loose 3 disks (my setup allows me the loss of 2 disks), I’d only loose data that’s on these disks, not the whole array. I lost one drive once, recovery went well and was relatively easy.
I try to keep things separated and I may be running a bit too many containers/vms, but well, I got resources to spare :)
Oh God yes, I never knew I needed illustrated self hosting architecture.
Need more. Could you also add like, a curious cat that asks questions?

Interesting tool, but I don’t know self hosting. I need a kitty cat to explain it to me in a drawing.
Hey, that’s how it’s all done! Network maps are the starting point.
