I’ve been meaning to write this post but I’ve been too lazy until now:

I’m sure none of you have used Proxmox before but I found this useful since I didn’t want to run and had no interest in deploying an email server nor a public one that datamines like Gmail or Outlook’s

I get notified if a VM image backup’s integrity isn’t verified since I don’t want to be screwed if in the event that I need to recover from a disaster like a failed hard drive/SSD, filesystem corruption (Though, I’m using ext4 for Lemmy’s VM so that’s exceedingly rare)

I’ve also got a crontab setup that rsyncs the backup images to an SSD from the backup drive then pushes it off-site to @Disabled@burggit.moe 's server so we have a full 3 2 1 backup implemented.

Down the line if we expand more and need more storage, I’m going to ideally want a RAID of sorts. Just so we’ll have more fault tolerance, though that’ll be expensive. :x
