If you were about to set up a new server, what would you consider? What would you do different to your current setup?

    I have a small home lab, best thing I ever did was put it all in containers. Rebuilding is as simple as copying my docker data folder and starting them back up

    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.
