Hello everyone!

I did it. I reached a point where I got everything exactly how I wanted and now… Now I am dissatisfied as I look over my home lab’s chaotic mess of a setup. This was my first time selfhosting things, and I learned a ton of stuff. I’ll probably want to tear it down and start anew in the near future, being much tidier and mindful of what goes where.

Does anyone have any tips they want to impart to someone who’s not an entire newbie but still learning stuff? Kind of a “If I could tell myself this before I set everything up, I would say…”

    … don’t forget about the backups.

    And if your major issue is putting things in wrong locations… Maybe learn about some abstraction layers, so next time you’re able to just move it, instead of tearing it down?
