    Great, now instead of just being bored, I get to manage three servers and two dozen public-facing services that I have to maintain for a growing number of users, along with the physical servers themselves, as any cog in this machine may break and burst into flames like a house of cards... and still be bored with the added stress.

    Yaaaaay, hobbies...

    You may have chosen the wrong one.

    This hobby would be significantly better if it came with a six-figure salary

    If the cogs didn't break occasionally, I feel like it wouldn't be a very good hobby.

    Yeah, though anxiety and self-perfection make every task dreadful and stressful when anyone else is impacted; doesn't matter if it's the family vaultwarden instance or a game server needing an update to become available again, all of it is AHHHHHHHH

    I run basically all my stuff through docker containers, and have...

    NAS:

    • BentoPDF
    • Clam-Shell (discord bot using clamav)
    • FreshRSS
    • Haven (discord alternative)
    • Kitchen Owl
    • Linkwarden
    • LubeLogger
    • MeshCentral (for me to admin systems)
    • Nametag (relationship organizer and visual map)
    • Owncast (streaming, for myself)
    • Plex
    • Radicale
    • Red (discord multifunction bot)
    • RustDesk
    • Snipe-IT
    • Uptime Kuma
    • Vaultwarden
    • Wallos (subscription manager)
    • YourLastFM (for myself)

    ThinkServer - Proxmox:

    • Debian 13, running BOINC
    • Home Assistant
    • Windows Server 2022, running Motor Town dedi

    VPS:

    • American Truck Simulator dedi
    • BeamMP dedi x7
    • Duplicati (for backups)
    • FiveM dedi
    • Minecraft Bedrock dedi
    • Wireguard

    I have stuff offline like a Satisfactory dedi, and the docker container for Euro Truck Simulator is broken for whatever reason... and stuff that is running for admin purposes that I won't list since security and all that (and a couple 'bare metal' services too). My users are family, close friends, and members of my discord/haven gaming community that I have brought in over the last few years.
