Yeah, I tend to do that and you're probably right.
Was just talking with a coworker and maybe I'll just start with saving images and backing them up to AWS glacier or some other cheap cloud storage. That way my data is safe in case I fuck up my setup.
After reading about proxmox, I decided to go with containers and smaller, specialized services first, as getting to know container stuff is one of my goals for a homelab.
True enough. Didn't think about that tbh.
