Tech, life and everything else
I’d heard about Proxmox a few times in online forums and videos about “home labs.” I always wondered why people went through the trouble of a complex VM setup instead of just using Docker containers. While I still don’t fully understand the need for VMs everywhere, my curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to give it a try.
Today, I woke up and noticed that my home server, located in my second flat, and also the router, all behind a 5G connection (that was showing as working fine on the provider’s website), were offline. No VPN connection anymore, and also Tailscale showed the nodes as being offline. I’m glad that I had automatic backups and was able to easily restore the three important services from that server on my VPS, without the need to travel to the second flat first.
I recently moved my emails to Purelymail. And since I also used the contacts and calendar synchronization feature of my previous email provider, I also transferred the contacts and calendar entries to Purelymail via WebDAV using WinSCP.
