My homelab started as an experiment when I discovered docker and proxmox. I spun up things randomly without paying much attention to resource allocation and any form of order. I ended up using a lot of these services in my daily workflow and they became central to my daily workflow. Now, I am running low on resources on some of my servers due to over allocation and have docker containers randomly in different VMs. I wish I thought this journey through and realized that I will be doing this homelabbing for the long run.
