alright folks, let’s get real. we all have our sprawling digital fortresses, carefully constructed brick by brick. but there’s always that one piece of software, that one perfectly tuned instance, where if it so much as hiccuped, you’d be ready to throw the entire homelab out the window and start fresh in a cave. what is it for you? what’s your absolute, non-negotiable, ‘i will personally visit the datacenter if this fails’ self-hosted application? for me, it’s my media server stack. my wife would disown me. don’t let me down, arr suite.

If you have a self hosted system and you throw the whole thing away because one service breaks you probably shouldn’t be hosting because you learnt nothing during the process
I don’t really have any of those. My stuff goes down and I later get around to restarting it. I’m a wimp in not self hosting more important stuff like email. But my media files are on a local disk rather than a server.

Even Email can be down for two days or so without major consequences, and I could pull that up from backups on a spare server in another location within an hour max.
