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 π€ 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.?
Used to have a Dell R710 in a rack in the garage. The rack doesn't have a door, bit it was cheap and fits in the space like a glove.
One day I was down there with the wife and kids sorting some stuff out at one end of the garage. Look over and see that the little one had pulled all the disks out of the server.
Managed to recover all my VMs that were running ext4 with a quick fsck. My main data storage VM that was using btrfs just locked me out with no possibility of mounting it even read only. From then on I will not touch btrfs with a barge pole.
A moment to practice deep breathing for sure. How old was your kid?
3, so not his fault at all
